What if everything you worked for—your savings, your home, even your identity—could be stolen without a weapon or a warning?

In this chilling yet empowering episode of Chatter That Matters, recorded live at the Toronto Hunt, I moderate a critical conversation on the growing threat of cybercrime—and how we can fight back.

Joining me are three remarkable minds from the frontlines of this invisible war:

Margot Denomme, former Crown Attorney, author and advocate for youth digital safety, compares giving a child a smartphone to handing them car keys without a manual. She's on a mission to delay smartphone use, reform digital education, and protect self-esteem before it's shattered by comparison culture.

Milos Stojadinovic, RBC's cybersecurity expert, explains how cybercrime has become a multi-trillion-dollar global industry, complete with 24/7 malware support and AI-powered deepfakes-his warning: the identity crisis is just beginning.

Detective Sergeant Colin Organ, head of York Region's Financial Crimes Unit, shares heartbreaking stories of victims who lost everything to scams—and exposes a justice system struggling to respond to these crimes as anything more than "non-violent."

Why this episode matters:

Cybercrime is no longer fringe—it's global, organized, and relentless. As AI accelerates the threat, we must take action to protect our families, finances, and future.

You'll learn:

• How to build habits that shield you from scams

• Why criminals are always a step ahead—and how to close the gap

• What parents must know before giving their child a phone

• Why outdated laws leave us all more vulnerable

• Whether deepfakes and AI put humanity itself at risk

Subscribe to Chatter That Matters and take the first step toward cyber resilience. Because in this fight, awareness isn't just power—it's protection.
