What do a North Carolina brewery destroyed by Hurricane Helene and a cybersecurity victim have in common? More than you think. This isn't just another "how to prevent hacks" episode—it's about what happens when the levee breaks.

Host Jen Lotze shares a powerful story from Zillicoah Beer Company in North Carolina, where 10 years of hard work was washed away in an afternoon. With zero insurance payout, the owners went back to brewing basics—working day jobs and scrubbing kegs by night. Their recovery story reveals what most cybersecurity content won't tell you: 90% of bouncing back is emotional, not technical.

If you've ever been scammed, felt that soul-crushing shame, or wondered what to do when prevention fails, this episode is your roadmap back to solid ground.

What You'll Learn:

• The 3-step cyber crisis recovery checklist (report to IC3.gov, freeze credit, talk to a human)
• Why shame keeps victims isolated—and how community breaks that cycle
• How freezing your credit protects you while you clean up the mess
• The unexpected parallels between natural disaster recovery and cyber incident response
• Why you're not stupid for getting scammed—you're just human
