Cybercrime Victims and Those Who Will Be: The Two Types of Business Owners

There are only two kinds of businesses—those that have been attacked by cybercriminals... and those that will be.

That’s the warning from Christian Espinosa, CEO of Blue Goat Cyber and author of The Smartest Person in the Room: The Root Cause and New Solution for Cybersecurity.

In this episode of The Mason Duchatschek Show, we explore the uncomfortable truth that phishing attacks, ransomware, and hackers aren’t just threats—they’re inevitable. The question isn’t if it will happen, it’s when—and how prepared you’ll be when it does.

Have you asked the hard "what if" questions?
Do you have a response plan in place?
Or are you just hoping it won’t happen to you?

This conversation could save your company.

Key Takeaways
✅ There are two types of businesses: those who’ve been hacked and those who will be
✅ Phishing, ransomware, and cyberattacks can shut your business down permanently
✅ Most businesses aren’t asking the right “what if” questions
✅ Hope is not a cybersecurity strategy
✅ Preparedness starts with leadership, planning, and proactive security

About Our Company

Alchemy was the medieval forerunner of chemistry, based on the supposed transformation of matter. It was concerned with attempts to convert base metals (like lead) into gold. WORKFORCE ALCHEMY is kind of like that—except with people and businesses.

We provide various skill, attitude, and personality-based psychometric assessment tools and training to help employers with employee selection, engagement, and retention.
