This week on the BLTnT Podcast, Matt Loria talks with Mykolas Rambus, Co-Founder and CEO of Hush, a company rewriting the rules of online privacy and security. He explains how Hush was born from a simple but urgent question: “What’s online about me that shouldn’t be?” And how AI is both a threat and a tool in the fight for privacy.

Together they dig into:

· What CEOs Are Getting Wrong About Risk Why digital traceability is becoming a top-tier business risk—and how most leaders are still overlooking it.

· Building a Culture of Safety at Hush Mykolas describes how his company blends AI with human service to protect high-risk individuals—from judges and journalists to everyday families.

· Inside Equifax During the Breach Mykolas shares what it was like leading through one of the biggest data breaches in U.S. history—and what it taught him about transparency and resilience.

BONUS!! Want to hear more from Mykolas? … You can hear him live at the upcoming Auxiom Community Appreciation Event!

When: Thursday, August 14th | 8:00–11:30 AM Where: Great Oaks Country Club – Rochester, MI
