The first  time I heard about Frank Abagnale was for a book report in 9th grade English (I think I got a B+?).  Since then, he’s had a movie produced about him and a Broadway musical too.  Google invited him to speak a few years ago.  Listening his story is pretty fascinating.  But I think the Q&A portion is much more interesting since two of the topics he discussed are very relevant today.

• Impostor Syndrome at Google. (click here)
• Why companies like Equifax are hacked (click here)
• Only two things to do when personal info (i.e. Social Security, etc) is stolen (click here)
  • Freeze Credit
  • Credit Monitoring
• Don’t use Debit Cards (click here)
• No more passwords!? (Abagnale’s predictions)
• What a tech company should be asking with their technology (like smart devices…) (click here)

Here’s the full talk.
