The other day, I had a chance to sit down with Craig Dubinsky, the CEO of Happy Products. He's built some of the biggest brands in personal care. So when a guy like that tells me a piece of software saved his company, I listen. Here's what he told me. So you mentioned that NetSuite saved your bacon. What happened there? Well, our last business, Hello, which was, it's an oral care company. Hello grew and became the fastest selling fastest growing oral care brand in North America We were growing so fast that we literally broke another well financial platform software So we made the switch to NetSuite and we migrated our entire business off of one platform onto NetSuite, which was very scary. And we thought this is going to be this impossible task. And we did it over a weekend and it was flawless and seamless. And we never looked back. It's the most capable platform we've seen. It's great. If your revenues are at least seven figures, get NetSuite's free business guide, Demystifying AI Right Now at netsuite.com slash kim. The guide is free to you at netsuite.com slash kim.

I called because I wanted to know, and I heard a little bit today. I have to get my personal information off of the Internet. I was a victim of abuse, and I'm a widow. I live alone, and I moved. And now all of my information, I see it on the Internet, and I want to know how I can get that removed to help me. I'm a little nervous about, you know, how do they get all this information? Just because you get a new phone or you apply for an electric company service, how can I stop this? Well, you know, it's been said that the average American has 28,000 data points about them available to be purchased. Now, when I first heard that number, and I heard that from the president of the Internet Advertising Association, one of those big league things, I said 28,000. Think about that. I mean, your shoe size, what you bought. But if I told you, hey, Kim, tell me about yourself. Give me a thousand things. You would never be able to do that. And they're up to 28,000? because they know everything that you've purchased, say using that store loyalty card. And they know your driving patterns, where you go how often you go They know everywhere your phone goes okay because they location services They know what medications that you take They know everything about you But here the kicker and I never forget what he said next to me It's 28,000, but it's every time you use your phone, it becomes infinite. Because every time you pick up your phone, you use an app, you buy something, you move around, whatever it may be, is that you're adding even more data points. So those data points just keep growing and growing and growing and growing and growing. You use your driver's license. You go get a driver's license. The DMV is selling those records to data brokers. So you have your address, your home address on your driver's license. And then now you're like, well, how did that get out there? Because I didn't want that out there. But now it's out there because somebody else sold it. You know, these are big companies. They are billion-dollar corporations. And so LexisNexis is one of the big ones. They have something called the Consumer Risk. I don't think we've ever talked about that. No. It's called the Consumer Risk Score. And you go to, I think it's consumerrisk.lexisnexus.com. We have the address at commando.com. And you fill out a form. And a lot of people are freaky Friday because they're like, oh, I've got to give out my driver's license number. They already have it. Okay. You know, because it's like, or they want my middle name. They have that. So you fill that out and then you can get a report about yourself through the U.S. Mail. And I got my report and it was 33 pages. Wow. And what did you find out? The most jaw-dropping fact you saw. I got a parking ticket 10 years ago. and they knew that yeah i mean because that was something like i'm like i don't even remember that parking ticket you know but what did they do with that that may be one of the 28 000 points of information but what do they do that you had a parking ticket at 10 years ago well that maybe if i had a parking ticket in conjunction with that i break hard and i speed and i whatever it may be because of my the tracker that in my car that aside to the that that associated with the app that in my car from the manufacturer because they selling the data too is that maybe I get an increase in my car insurance Okay So- But you would get the increase in your car insurance because you speed everywhere. I do not. But I understand what you're saying. I do not. I get it. Just, you know, me and Mike, the cop, we're on a first name basis. You shouldn't know the first name of police officers. I wave to him now. Hey, Mike, how are you? Nice to see you. We have cactus cams. Speaking of cops, we have cactus cams here in Phoenix, Arizona. They look like cactus. Have you ever seen those, Debbie? I have seen a, which I didn't know about, but they have some kind of a machine. When you go on a ramp to get on like a little beltway or something, and it tells you, it tracks your car to see if you have the inspection properly done. Yeah, the tags. Yeah, the tags, make sure that the tags are in. Yeah, so anyway, so the bottom line is that, so there's all this information out there. So in order to get yourself out, you can go to all these different individual sites and you can do this yourself and you can try to opt out. And typically it's going to be hidden somewhere in the terms and conditions of the site or the privacy policies, and then that's where you'll find a link and instructions for you to opt out. And they're going to ask for your more personal information, sometimes a copy of a passport, sometimes a copy of a driver's license to make sure that it's really you, but they will remove you from the database. Now, what Incogni does, and their sponsor, that's who you said you just heard about, is that they contact all these companies for you, over 400, and then they will remove you from these databases. And they also put you on a data suppression list. Does it cost money? Yeah, it's about 80 bucks a year, but it is so worth it. It is just so worth it. You can save 60% by going to privacykim.com. They are a sponsor, privacykim.com. Debbie, thank you for your call today. If you need any help whatsoever, just give us a call back. Hey, want to stay in the tech now without wasting your time?
