But how many of us truly understand how to protect and dispose of our information properly? Our next guest, Paul, is going to help us understand that just a little bit better. We need to understand the technological world that we live in. And we need people like Paul to help us figure out these data security issues and fill the void. Let's not waste any time and get into this terrific interview with Paul Katzoff. To overcome, you must educate. Educate not only yourself but educate anyone seeking to learn. We are all Dead America. We can all learn something. To learn. We must challenge what we already understand. The way we do that is through conversation. Sometimes we have conversations with others. However, some of the best conversations happen with ourselves. Reach Out and challenge yourself. Let's dive in and learn something right now. Today, we have Paul Katzoff with us. He is the CEO of White Canyon Software. Paul, let's start off with letting people know who Paul Katzoff is. And how did you become the CEO of white Canyon software? Paul Katzoff 03:03 Ed, pleasure to be here. Pleasure to be on Dead America. Thank you for having me. First off, I've been the CEO of White Canyon Software for three years. As far as my education goes, I have an undergraduate from BYU Hawaii, and then also my MBA from Utah State. As far as it How did I get to this position? I think it goes to a lot of work. But also, you know, working for a small company, I have the right educational background, but also successful in the sales area, the support area, you know, running different teams, things like that.

So yeah, I started off at the bottom. There was a little bit of humility to take a technical support role, but that was back in "08" February "08", right after the big crash. So I was happy with anything.
