What makes a successful entrepreneur? Sometimes, it’s a calculated risk. Other times, it’s quitting your job mid-call, sending an “I’m done” email, and figuring it out later, just like Paul Byrne, President of Razoyo and Refactored Group. In this episode, David Sliman sits down with Paul to talk about business pivots, cybersecurity nightmares, and why most companies are one bad decision away from a tech disaster.

Paul shares insane real-world stories about hackers holding data for ransom, FBI cybercrime investigations, and companies that didn’t realize their software was being breached for months. Plus, if you’re wondering whether to invest in custom software or stick with an out-of-the-box solution, Paul breaks down exactly when and why it makes sense to go custom, and when it doesn’t.
