Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Gregory Richardson. A cybersecurity expert and AI consultant. The conversation explores cybersecurity best practices, the rise of AI, and how Gregory is helping churches and nonprofits leverage technology to spread the gospel. 🔐 Cybersecurity Insights 🔹 Gregory’s Background Based in Dallas, Texas. Works full-time as an ethical hacker and cybersecurity consultant for major corporations and governments. Also a serial entrepreneur with ventures in real estate, consulting, and software. 🔹 Key Cybersecurity Takeaways Multitasking Myth: Gregory argues that humans are not wired for multitasking—focus leads to better outcomes. Password: Avoid using simple passwords like “1234.” Don’t reuse passwords across platforms. Use passphrases (e.g., Bible verses) for stronger security. Change passwords regularly. Password Vaults: Recommends using reputable services like Google or Microsoft. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Strongly encourages using 2FA to protect accounts. Phishing Scams: Be wary of urgent or fear-based emails. Always verify suspicious messages by contacting the company directly. Scammers often mimic trusted brands (e.g., Facebook, Bank of America). 🔹 The Bigger Picture Cybercrime now generates more revenue than global drug trafficking. Criminal organizations are well-funded and recruit tech talent to build sophisticated scams. 🤖 Artificial Intelligence & Opportunity 🔹 AI as a Tool for Good Compares AI to the Gutenberg printing press—initially misused, but ultimately transformative. Believes AI’s potential far outweighs its risks. 🔹 AI in Business Helps businesses identify “million-dollar problems” and solve them with AI. Example: Built a toll-tracking app for a car rental company that became more profitable than the rental business itself. Encourages entrepreneurs to use AI tools to build apps without needing coding skills. 🔹 AI in Education Created a custom math quiz app for his daughter using her course materials and AI. 🙏 AI for Churches & Nonprofits Gregory focuses on helping churches and nonprofits use AI to: Spread the gospel. Operate more efficiently. Compete with limited budgets. Offers consulting and resources through his website: GregoryRichardson.ai 📚 Book Mentioned Gregory has authored a book on using AI to solve business problems and create scalable solutions. 🎙️ Closing Notes Rushion praises Gregory’s passion, clarity, and practical advice. Plans to bring him back for a deeper dive into AI’s role in faith-based and nonprofit work. #SHMS #STRAW #BEST #AMISupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
