Today's Episode is an interview with my son Dominic. I had the chance to sit down and talk to him about Robo-calls.

Never give someone from a Robo-call your personal identifiable info, Credit Card numbers or Bank account numbers.

This episode I get to interview my daughter and pick her brain on Animal Jam and Passwords. A little longer than usual but Rosie drops a truth bomb about passwords and I couldn't be more proud
