How do you find a hidden camera in your hotel room before it's too late? In Part 2, executive protection expert Frank Roberson and I go even deeper.
Missed Part 1? Start there first — this picks up right where we left off. I open up about my own cybercrime attack, where hackers impersonated a family member to disable my alarms and cameras, unlock my deadbolts, and plant surveillance inside my own home without leaving a trace.
From there, Frank and I cover how your smart devices can become an attack surface used against you, and the wire fraud scheme that cost one family office over $400,000 after criminals studied their billing patterns for three months before striking. We also break down hidden camera detection while traveling, including a pre-check-in bug sweep that found recording devices planted in a Super Bowl host hotel room, and a real hidden camera found behind a USB plug in a restaurant bathroom.
Frank also walks through the hotel security assessment he did in London (with Johnny Depp staying down the hall), the pickpocket scams tourists run into in Europe, the "rule of three" test his team uses to spot if someone is following you, and why situational awareness at a gas station could save your life.
Frank has spent over two decades in executive protection, counterintelligence, and high-threat response as CEO of the Black Rhino Group. He breaks down the pre-event indicators, gut-instinct signals, and simple checklist habits that separate being prepared from being paranoid.
If you travel, work remotely, or just want more control over your own privacy and safety, this episode is for you.

Could a real bodyguard have stopped Kim Kardashian's robbery? I asked executive protection expert Frank Roberson — and Part 1 of our conversation is wild.
I sat down with Frank Roberson, CEO of the Black Rhino Group, to find out what it actually takes to keep billionaires, CEOs, and A-list celebrities alive. This is Part 1 of a two-part deep dive into the real world of bodyguards, close protection, and personal security.
In this episode I ask Frank point blank: if Kim Kardashian had hired him, would her robbery have even happened? His answer changed how I think about celebrity security. We also get into the background check that uncovered a client's pool cleaner was secretly the getaway driver in a triple murder, the direct threat case where two suspects turned out to be active-duty sheriff's deputies, why Marissa Mayer's advance team failed her outside a board meeting, and the true story of a singer whose hotel balcony was breached by someone who simply climbed the drainpipe.
Frank has spent over two decades in executive protection, counterintelligence, and high-threat response. He's a Texas-licensed Personal Protection Officer, a Certified Security Manager, and a private investigator who has protected elected officials, high-net-worth families, and public figures worldwide. He breaks down the geofencing technology, deep background-check tactics, and advance-work strategies real protection teams use to stop a threat before it happens.
If you've ever wondered how bodyguards actually think, what "advance work" means, or why the safest people you know are prepared instead of paranoid — this episode is for you.
Part 2 drops soon, going deeper into home security, hidden cameras, and how your own devices can be turned against you.

Are AI agents about to change everything? In this episode of Smarter Online Safety, I sit down with AI builder Andrew Melnychuk-Oseen to explain what AI agents really are, how agentic AI works, and how to use this technology safely — without handing over the keys to your business or your data.
Most people think AI is just ChatGPT answering questions. But AI agents are different: they can select information, make decisions, and take action on their own. Andrew shares the moment an agent started writing and running its own code on his computer ("legitimately scary"), and then breaks down exactly how to stay in control.
Whether you're an AI beginner, a business owner, or just trying to keep up, this is your no-hype, safety-first guide to the agentic AI era.
🤖 In this episode, you'll learn:
* What AI agents are and how they actually work* The difference between an LLM and true intelligence (and why superintelligence isn't here yet)* The real cybersecurity risks of giving AI agents access and permissions* How to use agents safely with limited permissions, approval gates & human-in-the-loop* 2 techniques anyone can use: context hardening + chain of verification (to cut AI hallucinations dramatically)* Why AI agents, crypto, and free models could reshape companies and governments* The new "AI literacy" skills everyone will need
