That backup email you set up two years ago? It might be completely useless when you need it most.

This episode reveals why 90% of security plans fail at the worst possible moment—not because they’re badly designed, but because nobody ever tested them. Hear the story of the consulting firm that lost everything because their “backups” were just shortcuts, and the recovery email trap that locks you out permanently.

You’ll discover why 15 minutes of testing today beats 3 weeks of panic recovery tomorrow, plus get three simple tests you can run right now to verify your safety nets actually work.

From personal accounts to small business systems, this is the uncomfortable reality check that transforms theoretical preparedness into actual resilience.
