Update about the Generative AI for Busy Leaders Book
I recently published a book called “Generative AI for Busy Business Leaders” and it hit the #1 Amazon bestseller and #1 new release spots in a few categories
It’s a very short book that covers practical frameworks and strategies that’ll help you use AI with your team.
It’s only for $0.99, and I’m donating all proceeds from the first 30 days to charity.

Deepfake Dangers: A $25 Million Lesson in Cybersecurity
A finance worker at a multinational corporation was deceived into transferring $25 million to scammers using deepfake AI technology to impersonate the company’s chief financial officer during a video call.
The scam involved a sophisticated video conference where all participants, thought to be the worker’s colleagues, were actually deepfake recreations.
What this means for leaders
Those scams are becoming quite common. What this means for leaders is that they need to educate their teams about the existence and capabilities of deepfake technology, emphasizing the importance of verification before acting on digital communications.
They also need to encourage employees to maintain a healthy level of skepticism towards unusual requests, even if they appear to come from familiar sources.
