In this episode of Burn Notice: A Smoke Signal Podcast, AI hosts Ainsley and Ian tap into the writings of privacy pitmaster James W. to break down one of the most relatable digital exhaust moments yet — when James’s own daughter turns into a mini-analyst and stuns her teacher using nothing but open-source intel.

From TikTok trails to teacher truths, we explore how even well-meaning online posts can light up your data like a bonfire. It’s a cautionary tale with teeth — and tools — showing just how fast your personal info can be aggregated, analyzed, and actioned.

James W. doesn’t just serve smoked metaphors; he lays out the brisket-slab steps to protect yourself. You’ll learn how to adopt a Red-Cell mentality, evaluate your exposure, and make yourself a harder target in the digital wild.

Because when your playlist knows your secrets and your kid can OSINT your coworkers… it’s time to check what you are leaking.
