Introducing 5-Factor Authentication with Hill Harper. Listen to a preview as legendary music producer Isaac Hayes III tells us that the business models behind some of our favorite tech tools can drive inequities, so he decided to do something about it. Listen in as he chats with Hill about his latest initiative, Fanbase, a social media platform that empowers creators to get paid for their content directly by consumers. You’ll also find out why Isaac has a problem with ad-based models, believes in the potential of AI-driven content moderation, thinks of Tina Turner as a human NFT, and predicts we’re on the verge of the trillionaire era. 

5-Factor Authentication is brought to you by Norton. 

Social media lets us connect with the world, but it comes with risks. It is important to keep your personal information and accounts safe from the wrong hands.
