Small Business Cybersecurity (15:28)
Scott Shackelford, an associate professor of business law and ethics at Indiana University.  When we hear about a business having their computers hacked it is a big company like Target, Chick-Fil-A, or Sony. What you don't hear about are the small companies that suffer a data breach. The damage can be more devastating because the company may not be able to protect themselves from future attacks. Scott Shackelford talks about the three “Bs” of small business cyber security.
Are We Evolved for Happiness? (59:26)
Glenn Geher is Professor and Chair of Psychology as well as Founding Director of Evolutionary Studies at the State University of New York at New Paltz.

Glenn Geher has taken this perspective of evolution and applied to happiness. Just as anxiety evolved to help motivate adaptive behaviors, happiness has also evolved to help motivate adaptive behaviors.
