Your Business Is One Failure Away From Crisis | Ron Klink

GROWTH PILLAR: Cybersecurity & IT
WHO THIS IS FOR: SMB owners / Solopreneurs / Corporate escapees / Leaders building systems
WHAT THEY'LL GAIN: Actionable insights, hard-won lessons, real growth strategies

 

Most small businesses are one hard drive, one phishing click, or one ransomware attack away from a very bad week. 

Ron Klink, founder of RK's Disaster Recovery Solutions, joins Bernie Franzgrote and co-host Wayne Pratt to talk about how to fix that — without spending like a Fortune 500.

Ron has spent decades in IT and disaster recovery. He uses cloud-based solutions to protect small and medium businesses without the cost of heavy physical hardware. In this episode, he keeps the language simple. No jargon. No fear. Just clear thinking.

You'll hear:

  • Why "we already have IT" is not the same as "we're prepared"
  • How AI is being used both to help businesses and to attack them
  • The three to five things every owner should be checking right now
  • How to talk to your IT provider — and what they should be saying back
  • Where SMBs cross over into enterprise-level risk
  • How cybersecurity insurance works and what they look for before they approve you
  • One real story of a client who said "we're already secure" — and what it cost them

    • If your IT setup is held together by one person on call, this episode is for you.
