Today Mindy checks in live from Las Vegas (NAA Apartmentalize) while Natalie and Kelly beam in from Texas.

In this episode of Sugar, Spice & Spirits, Mindy, Kelly, and Natalie unpack what to do when technology lets you down—email outages, ATM skimmers, debit-card fraud, ransomware—and how analog backups (binders, printed contacts, offline exports) keep life and business moving. We also break down real-estate wire-fraud safety and practical ways to use AI without losing your voice.

Build a one-page continuity plan: printed contact tree, binder with key processes, offline exports of CRM/invoices/P&L, simple “restore” steps

Wire-fraud safety at closings: always verify by phone with known numbers; don’t rely on email alone

Phishing tells to spot fast: odd sender domains, “USD $” formatting, urgent tone, strange links; when in doubt, freeze/cancel the card and call the institution via a verified number

Backups beat ransoms: versioned backups (including an offline/off-site copy) and a one-page restore playbook

Analog for retention: handwritten to-do lists, journaling, and why many classrooms are returning to textbooks/handwriting
