Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hold up.
- 0:01Speaker 2: Every day I wake up. Wake your ass up.
- 0:03Speaker 3: The Breakfast Club.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Y'all finished or y'all done?
- 0:08Speaker 3: Morning, everybody.
- 0:09Speaker 1: It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are
- 0:13Speaker 1: The Breakfast Club. Law and the Rose is here as well.
- 0:15Speaker 1: We got a special guest.
- 0:16Speaker 2: In the building. Yes, indeed.
- 0:17Speaker 1: We hear his commercials all the time, the live reads,
- 0:20Speaker 1: the sponsorships.
- 0:21Speaker 3: We have from LifeLock, we have Bill DeVars. Welcome. Good morning.
- 0:24Speaker 3: Good morning. Thank you for having me.
- 0:26Speaker 4: Bill, I've been waiting to talk to you or somebody
- 0:27Speaker 4: from LifeLock because I just keep saying to myself, if
- 0:30Speaker 4: this is really happening so much and people's identities are
- 0:33Speaker 4: getting stolen so much, we need more than commercials.
- 0:36Speaker 2: We need to.
- 0:36Speaker 4: Hear firsthand experiences, why y'all decided to build this, how
- 0:41Speaker 4: regular is it?
- 0:42Speaker 2: I got a long list of questions.
- 0:44Speaker 3: I can't wait. Hit me.
- 0:46Speaker 2: Now, how did it start?
- 0:46Speaker 4: Because I spoke to you at the iHeartRadio Music Festival
- 0:49Speaker 4: and you told me that it started with a personal experience.
- 0:52Speaker 3: Well, For me, I have a personal experience, but I
- 0:54Speaker 3: think the way the company started was that the world
- 0:59Speaker 3: started going digital. And bad actors, bad people started realizing
- 1:05Speaker 3: that because we spent so much time online, on sites, clicking,
- 1:10Speaker 3: clicking away at everything, huge opportunity for the dark web
- 1:15Speaker 3: world to take advantage of citizens.
- 1:18Speaker 4: I thought about the fact that AI can clone your voice, right?
- 1:23Speaker 4: It can recreate your face. It can imitate the way
- 1:26Speaker 4: you communicate. And a lot of times we go on
- 1:28Speaker 4: these sites, we never read the terms and conditions. So
- 1:30Speaker 4: we don't know what we're giving up, right? So what
- 1:32Speaker 4: does identity theft even mean anymore? We might've gave these
- 1:35Speaker 4: people permission to use us.
- 1:37Speaker 3: You know what? I think you nailed it because the
- 1:39Speaker 3: fact is that right now, like your social security number
- 1:43Speaker 3: is worth about $ 10 in the dark web.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Damn. Yep.
- 1:47Speaker 3: And the odds are all of our identities out there
- 1:51Speaker 3: And there's a whole marketplace where people are just selling.
- 1:54Speaker 5: VPN.
- 1:55Speaker 3: We're just part of a batch of names and social
- 1:57Speaker 3: security numbers and identifying verified IDs. People are picking them up.
- 2:05Speaker 3: And what they're doing is they're essentially tracking you, right?
- 2:10Speaker 3: So it's almost like surveillance, right? They're online tracking you.
- 2:14Speaker 3: And now with AI, it's no longer like a warehouse
- 2:17Speaker 3: in Slovakia with, you know, humans banging away at keyboards,
- 2:22Speaker 3: like one person can actually deploy a thousand agentic agents
- 2:28Speaker 3: that are bots that are building deceptive sites.
- 2:31Speaker 6: Wow.
- 2:31Speaker 3: And the sites are so good. The imagery is so good.
- 2:34Speaker 3: The mimicking, the deep fake is so good. You guys
- 2:37Speaker 3: see what AI is like, right? You can't even distinguish
- 2:40Speaker 3: between a celebrity and a, you know, the fake one
- 2:43Speaker 3: or the real one that now they're just deploying, you know,
- 2:47Speaker 3: millions of sites.
- 2:48Speaker 2: I've seen a video of Envy.
- 2:49Speaker 4: He had Envy kissing another guy that's like his mentor,
- 2:54Speaker 4: DJ Clue.
- 2:54Speaker 3: That was a yeah. How'd you feel about that? That
- 2:57Speaker 3: was a yeah.
- 2:58Speaker 2: It looked very real. I mean, extremely real.
- 3:01Speaker 3: Unbelievable. He's lying.
- 3:02Speaker 1: But question, so how does LifeLock protect somebody?
- 3:06Speaker 3: How does the procedure work? Look, there's three. There's a
- 3:11Speaker 3: million ways we protect you, but the three ways you
- 3:13Speaker 3: should really care about is LifeLock has... guaranteed restoration. So
- 3:20Speaker 3: what does that mean? If something happens to you, you
- 3:23Speaker 3: have to go, you, you now have to restore your credit,
- 3:26Speaker 3: your identity. You got to clean up your name from
- 3:29Speaker 3: all these data broker sites, that whole cleanup. And if
- 3:33Speaker 3: you've been financially compromised, we will restore those funds. A
- 3:38Speaker 3: hundred percent guaranteed up to $ 3 million of coverage.
- 3:41Speaker 6: Really?
- 3:41Speaker 3: So that, yep. So you're covered up to 3 million.
- 3:44Speaker 3: That's something a bank can, A lot of people think
- 3:47Speaker 3: their bank takes care of that, right? Nope. The other
- 3:53Speaker 3: thing we do is the tech proactively alerts you. So
- 3:58Speaker 3: if somebody is opening up loans, let's say suddenly this
- 4:00Speaker 3: AI bot is opening up 35, 50 loans, mortgage loans,
- 4:05Speaker 3: home equity loans under your name, you're going to get
- 4:07Speaker 3: a notification that says, is this you? Did you just
- 4:10Speaker 3: open up five loans? And when you say no, It
- 4:14Speaker 3: triggers a workflow on the LifeLock side where the actual
- 4:17Speaker 3: restoration expert will call you and be like, hey, we've
- 4:22Speaker 3: picked up this suspicious activity. Thank you for saying no.
- 4:25Speaker 3: So there's proactive technology. And then there's, God forbid, something happens,
- 4:31Speaker 3: almost like an insurance policy.
- 4:33Speaker 5: In your personal experience, you got an alert through.
- 4:38Speaker 3: Oh, I got more than alert.
- 4:39Speaker 5: Well, you got to build, too.
- 4:41Speaker 6: But there was some technology that kind of let you
- 4:44Speaker 6: know that there was some things happening after.
- 4:46Speaker 5: Well, maybe you talk about what happened.
- 4:47Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 4:48Speaker 3: I mean, I got to really, it's just so coincidental
- 4:51Speaker 3: because when I started working on the brand, of course,
- 4:55Speaker 3: I was like, I understand what identity theft is. I
- 4:58Speaker 3: get it. We live in a modern world. Boom, I get,
- 5:02Speaker 3: something happens to me, right? I get this IRS notice. Meanwhile,
- 5:07Speaker 3: LifeLock was alerting me before and I didn't really, you know,
- 5:11Speaker 3: pay attention to it. And I owe a lot. I
- 5:17Speaker 3: don't even want to say how much money I owe,
- 5:19Speaker 3: but I owe like an extraordinary amount of money. And
- 5:22Speaker 3: I'm like, for what? And it's this business that I
- 5:25Speaker 3: don't own, right? An affiliate marketing business. So I call my...
- 5:30Speaker 3: Right away, I call my accountant and I said, what
- 5:33Speaker 3: do I do? He goes, how did you... Do you have,
- 5:38Speaker 3: he goes, did you get any other notices or anything?
- 5:42Speaker 3: I go, wait, let me check my life lock. I'm like,
- 5:44Speaker 3: oh my God. And he goes, call life lock now.
- 5:47Speaker 3: So I call life lock, restoration expert immediately gets on
- 5:50Speaker 3: my case. She starts locking everything down, locking the credit,
- 5:55Speaker 3: telling me exactly how I have to, notifying the IRS.
- 6:00Speaker 3: I'm starting to build my case because you got to
- 6:03Speaker 3: build a case with your IRS. You got to let
- 6:04Speaker 3: the IRS know. you know, that this has happened. And
- 6:09Speaker 3: so like this, the, the, we have us based restoration experts.
- 6:14Speaker 3: It's not like you're calling another country. It's somebody whose
- 6:17Speaker 3: entire job is to restore Americans lives back to normal.
- 6:22Speaker 3: So she, she put, she just puts this protocol to action. And,
- 6:27Speaker 3: and I gotta be honest with you, like in like
- 6:29Speaker 3: two weeks, I was all clear. I even got issued
- 6:33Speaker 3: a new, some new verification codes from the IRS. So
- 6:36Speaker 3: when I do my taxes, I do them differently. But
- 6:39Speaker 3: somebody opened up an affiliates marketing business using my social
- 6:43Speaker 3: security number and ID. And I guess it's like a
- 6:46Speaker 3: money laundering thing that people do. It's very common. You
- 6:49Speaker 3: can look it up. FBI knows all about it.
- 6:52Speaker 5: People don't know how common that type of stuff is.
- 6:54Speaker 6: Like they do like apartments and bank accounts or whatever,
- 6:57Speaker 6: but like, whole businesses and lifestyles uh we use it
- 7:01Speaker 6: under people's identities is very common yeah.
- 7:04Speaker 3: People buy homes they uh buy cars they credit cards
- 7:09Speaker 3: yeah credit cards the the business thing is interesting because
- 7:12Speaker 3: it's literally uh it's a money laundering thing like you
- 7:15Speaker 3: want to move cash you want to run it through
- 7:17Speaker 3: legit companies but you yourself can't you don't want to
- 7:21Speaker 3: be right you're a bad guy you don't want to
- 7:22Speaker 3: be connected to that company well you're going to use
- 7:24Speaker 3: people with good credit people's IDs with good credit and
- 7:28Speaker 3: start opening up companies.
- 7:30Speaker 4: If my information is already on the dark web, am
- 7:33Speaker 4: I trying to get it back or I'm just trying
- 7:36Speaker 4: to make the information useless to whoever steals it?
- 7:41Speaker 3: Great, great question. What LifeLock will do is try and
- 7:44Speaker 3: clean up who's got it because the odds are it's
- 7:48Speaker 3: data brokers who are, you know, let's say you, I
- 7:53Speaker 3: don't know, maybe years ago you signed up or something,
- 7:55Speaker 3: a subscription or something, right? They might be selling companies
- 7:59Speaker 3: and websites and blogs and all kinds of stuff might
- 8:01Speaker 3: be selling your info. Jesus Christ. And these data brokers
- 8:06Speaker 3: pick it up and then they, it's like a marketplace.
- 8:08Speaker 3: They're like, hey, who wants Charlemagne's information, right? Like you
- 8:13Speaker 3: fall into a certain profile and there's like transactions being made.
- 8:17Speaker 3: People are actually selling, you know, Americans' IDs, right?
- 8:22Speaker 1: And how much does it cost.
- 8:24Speaker 3: To protect yourself? $ 10 a month. $ 10 a month.
- 8:27Speaker 2: Right.
- 8:29Speaker 3: For $ 3 million in coverage.
- 8:30Speaker 1: It's not levels.
- 8:32Speaker 3: It's not tiers. There's tiers. Okay. But for a decent,
- 8:35Speaker 3: for what you want, it's $ 10 a month.
- 8:38Speaker 1: What's the higher tier from that?
- 8:40Speaker 3: What else is a cover? Because you said there's tiers.
- 8:44Speaker 3: So there's tiers that are higher. I mean, it all
- 8:46Speaker 3: depends on the promo codes, right, of the day. But
- 8:48Speaker 3: like the tiers that are higher could also include your family.
- 8:53Speaker 3: So you could actually start to add your parents, for instance,
- 8:57Speaker 3: or look, kids are important because I have a daughter
- 9:04Speaker 3: in college. Hey, Gigi. I do a little shout out
- 9:06Speaker 3: to her. You know, she might have a clean credit, right?
- 9:11Speaker 3: Because her credit is super clean. That is so valuable
- 9:16Speaker 3: to people.
- 9:18Speaker 2: Right?
- 9:18Speaker 3: So people don't realize that. They're like, oh, it must be,
- 9:20Speaker 3: you know, you must be making a lot of money
- 9:21Speaker 3: and you're a high value target. That's not the case.
- 9:25Speaker 3: All of us who are working on our credit or
- 9:27Speaker 3: we have clean credit, we're all vulnerable, right? Everybody. Everybody is.
- 9:32Speaker 3: One out of four Americans is a victim of identity theft.
- 9:37Speaker 3: It's inevitable.
- 9:38Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, like I said earlier, man, we get
- 9:40Speaker 4: on these social media sites and we've been on some
- 9:42Speaker 4: of these sites for literally a couple of decades now.
- 9:44Speaker 4: We don't know what the terms and conditions are when
- 9:47Speaker 4: we sign up to these sites. So what information are
- 9:50Speaker 4: we casually putting on social media that scammers can now
- 9:54Speaker 4: use against.
- 9:55Speaker 2: Us with AI.
- 9:56Speaker 3: So they'll build a dossier so that the power of
- 10:00Speaker 3: AI is that it could build a dossier around you.
- 10:02Speaker 3: It could follow you on social, pick up photos, pick
- 10:06Speaker 3: up what you like, sites you visit, right? It's not
- 10:11Speaker 3: saying that you landed on a great, you know, you know,
- 10:20Speaker 3: reputable site and like that reputable company is selling your
- 10:26Speaker 3: ID I'm not saying that like what I'm saying is
- 10:28Speaker 3: it's so easy to deceive people that you might you
- 10:31Speaker 3: might think you're on ford.com but it's not ford.com that's
- 10:38Speaker 3: what's going on right now and like you might be
- 10:40Speaker 3: reading an article and there's a hyperlink and you're like
- 10:43Speaker 3: oh I want to see the video that they're talking
- 10:46Speaker 3: about right you know how people they tease you out
- 10:48Speaker 3: on the video yeah That link, you don't know where
- 10:50Speaker 3: that link's going. Yeah, my wife got that one time.
- 10:53Speaker 1: She was booking a flight for something.
- 10:54Speaker 3: I don't know what it was.
- 10:55Speaker 1: She had to book a flight. And I don't know
- 10:56Speaker 1: why Mercedes didn't book it, but my wife had to
- 10:58Speaker 1: book a flight. And when she Googled, let's say it
- 11:00Speaker 1: was Delta, Delta didn't pop up. It was the first
- 11:03Speaker 1: thing that popped that looked like Delta, but it wasn't
- 11:06Speaker 1: actually Delta. And when she clicked it, she put her
- 11:08Speaker 1: information in and she realized it was. Thank God it
- 11:11Speaker 1: was through American Express and we were able to cancel it.
- 11:12Speaker 1: But her information is out there now. Her address, her
- 11:15Speaker 1: phone number and all that. So it's, I don't know
- 11:17Speaker 1: how companies can do that, but.
- 11:19Speaker 3: That happened to her.
- 11:20Speaker 2: It feels like LifeLock is like insurance now. Like you
- 11:24Speaker 2: have to have it just in case.
- 11:26Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you need insurance. God forbid someone... I mean,
- 11:29Speaker 3: I was just commuting in today. I saw a car accident.
- 11:32Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, that's why you have insurance in
- 11:34Speaker 3: New York, right? With the way things are going, with
- 11:38Speaker 3: the way things are going with AI and everything else
- 11:40Speaker 3: that's going on, why do we not have this insurance?
- 11:43Speaker 3: It's $ 10 a month. Think about the other stuff. You
- 11:46Speaker 3: probably watch more than... that annual fee in Netflix movies, right?
- 11:52Speaker 3: But you got $ 3 million in coverage for you and
- 11:54Speaker 3: your family.
- 11:55Speaker 6: Who insures, like, LifeLock? Because, like, with the bank, if
- 11:59Speaker 6: my money messes up in my account, it's FDIC. With
- 12:03Speaker 6: you guys, where does that $ 3 million come from? Like,
- 12:05Speaker 6: where are y'all grabbing from?
- 12:06Speaker 3: So... I'm not the head of finance, so I can't
- 12:10Speaker 3: tell you. And I'm probably not allowed to tell you
- 12:12Speaker 3: exactly who is building our risk profile of our insurance company.
- 12:18Speaker 3: But it's insured by, I'm sure, insurance companies and other
- 12:22Speaker 3: partners and enterprises that specialize in insuring large, huge companies
- 12:29Speaker 3: like LifeLock. But you should know that it's a restoration
- 12:34Speaker 3: guarantee and that $ 3 million is real.
- 12:38Speaker 4: You know, people hear identity theft protection. And I'm sure
- 12:43Speaker 4: they're probably thinking, what can LifeLock actually stop in regards
- 12:47Speaker 4: to that? And what can't it stop?
- 12:49Speaker 6: Right.
- 12:51Speaker 3: So what it could do is it could jump in
- 12:55Speaker 3: with the right timing to probably shut down something because
- 12:59Speaker 3: of the alerts. You could toggle and lock all your
- 13:04Speaker 3: credit with one touch. It gives you power to do that.
- 13:07Speaker 3: Like literally on my LifeLock app right now, I could
- 13:10Speaker 3: just shut down all my credit, which shuts down a
- 13:14Speaker 3: lot of things. So proactively, it's got perfect timing to
- 13:19Speaker 3: maybe stop major damage. And then what it actually can
- 13:24Speaker 3: do is bring you back. How do I say this?
- 13:30Speaker 3: It's almost like something traumatic happens in your life and
- 13:34Speaker 3: Whenever something traumatic happens in our lives, we lead busy lives.
- 13:38Speaker 3: We got to put our life on pause to go
- 13:40Speaker 3: clean up what? Our identity? Who's got the time to
- 13:43Speaker 3: do that? Who's got the time to go talk to
- 13:46Speaker 3: the banks, the credit cards, the IRS, all these people
- 13:51Speaker 3: that you now got to go talk to? We do it.
- 13:54Speaker 3: So we do all of that for you. As far
- 13:57Speaker 3: as like being the ultimate preventer where we're going to
- 14:01Speaker 3: lock down the dark web, LifeLock can't lock down the
- 14:04Speaker 3: dark web.
- 14:05Speaker 2: Lord have mercy.
- 14:06Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Like the way things are
- 14:08Speaker 3: going with AI, who's going to, I mean, the US
- 14:12Speaker 3: government can't lock down. The FBI just created a whole
- 14:15Speaker 3: new branch called AI fraud. They had to create it
- 14:19Speaker 3: last year because AI fraud is so, so big.
- 14:21Speaker 4: Are criminals using AI faster than companies like LifeLock can
- 14:26Speaker 4: build the technology to stop it?
- 14:30Speaker 3: Um, In my personal opinion, I do think that what's
- 14:34Speaker 3: happening in the bad actor world is surpassing what the
- 14:39Speaker 3: commercial world can keep up with. And I bet you
- 14:42Speaker 3: if there was a government official here, they would say
- 14:45Speaker 3: the same thing because they're keeping an eye on it.
- 14:49Speaker 3: And it's international. Let's be honest about that. It's not
- 14:53Speaker 3: really just a domestic thing. It's like international bad actors.
- 14:58Speaker 3: There's all kinds of stuff going on. We are the
- 15:01Speaker 3: number one consumer in the world.
- 15:03Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 15:03Speaker 3: So we're like target number one.
- 15:06Speaker 2: That's how I feel when I talk to these AI guys, right?
- 15:10Speaker 4: Because it feels like the technology for AI is advancing,
- 15:17Speaker 4: but also, no, they're trying to increase the intelligence and
- 15:20Speaker 4: the safeguards at the same time.
- 15:23Speaker 2: I don't know if that's possible.
- 15:24Speaker 4: I don't know if the safeguards can win that race
- 15:27Speaker 4: against the intelligence of the AI.
- 15:28Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 15:30Speaker 3: I mean, I think the great X factor is money.
- 15:38Speaker 3: Because you're like, what are we going to do? We're
- 15:40Speaker 3: competing in a global market with China, Europe. We got
- 15:46Speaker 3: to stay on top. It's America, right? We got to
- 15:48Speaker 3: be the cutting edge. It's a tricky one.
- 15:53Speaker 4: I asked that question to somebody verbatim. I said, so
- 15:56Speaker 4: are you choosing safety over growth? Because, you know, to
- 16:00Speaker 4: your point, the growth is the money, right?
- 16:02Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 16:03Speaker 4: So at some point, one of these AI guys has
- 16:05Speaker 4: to say, all right, it's just all about safety.
- 16:07Speaker 2: Forget the growth of the company. And I don't think
- 16:10Speaker 2: that's going to happen.
- 16:11Speaker 3: Well, I do think that there's going to be safety
- 16:15Speaker 3: AI companies that are going to be a big part
- 16:17Speaker 3: of our lives. And the way we use technology, LifeLock
- 16:23Speaker 3: certainly is going to be one of them. Meaning, remember Terminator?
- 16:29Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
- 16:30Speaker 3: Remember at some point, like I forgot what it was.
- 16:32Speaker 3: It was like either Terminator 2 or 3 where Arnold
- 16:35Speaker 3: switched over to being like the good guy. I think
- 16:39Speaker 3: that's what's happening is that the only way to fight
- 16:42Speaker 3: bad AI is with good AI. I mean, think about it.
- 16:46Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you're right.
- 16:47Speaker 4: So if every time security gets smarter, right? Criminals get
- 16:51Speaker 4: smarter too. When do we the consumers ever actually get
- 16:54Speaker 4: ahead in this situation?
- 16:56Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 16:57Speaker 3: I mean, we... Look, we're going to be the moneymakers, right?
- 17:02Speaker 3: We're going to be feeding these companies and technologies and
- 17:05Speaker 3: all that. I think we just got to wake up sooner, soon, now,
- 17:12Speaker 3: and embrace the reality that even ChatGBT could be serving
- 17:17Speaker 3: you a bad link.
- 17:19Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, my God.
- 17:22Speaker 3: Think about that, right? Because what is it doing? It's
- 17:25Speaker 3: scraping the whole web.
- 17:26Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 17:27Speaker 3: AI can trick AI. AI can trick AI.
- 17:30Speaker 6: It's like how Google AI is like, if you, what
- 17:32Speaker 6: I've learned, you just depend on Google AI. It might
- 17:34Speaker 6: not be the best source because it compiles from what
- 17:36Speaker 6: it scans across the web.
- 17:38Speaker 5: Like you just don't know where some things are coming from.
- 17:39Speaker 6: Right.
- 17:40Speaker 2: AI can trick AI.
- 17:41Speaker 3: Of course. Because, you know, especially when companies are going
- 17:45Speaker 3: really fast, think about it. Think about how fast, like every,
- 17:49Speaker 3: every hour, every day they're developing, things are changing every day.
- 17:53Speaker 3: Look like, um, They're trying, they're scraping, the LLMs are
- 17:58Speaker 3: scraping YouTube, Reddit, comments section, social, whatever. Who knows where
- 18:04Speaker 3: somewhere there's a crack and a bad actor could be
- 18:08Speaker 3: putting fake comments up or reviews or a deceptive site.
- 18:13Speaker 5: That's scary.
- 18:14Speaker 2: That's been happening.
- 18:15Speaker 5: It's just scary that it's only going to get worse, though.
- 18:18Speaker 3: That's why you need AI insurance. You know what I mean?
- 18:21Speaker 3: You need something that, God forbid... something happens.
- 18:25Speaker 5: And it'll get smarter.
- 18:27Speaker 3: Yep.
- 18:27Speaker 6: Because it works off of human action and pattern. So
- 18:32Speaker 6: as LifeLock builds out patterns to protect, AI is watching
- 18:35Speaker 6: the patterns to build patterns.
- 18:36Speaker 5: To fight it. That's crazy. It's like marketing.
- 18:39Speaker 3: It's Terminator.
- 18:40Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 18:41Speaker 3: The good bots and the bad bots.
- 18:43Speaker 2: You come from the creative branding side, right? Yeah. So
- 18:46Speaker 2: you're essentially marketing a product, LifeLock, that is requiring.
- 18:53Speaker 4: reminding people that something terrible could happen.
- 18:56Speaker 3: Right.
- 18:57Speaker 2: So how do you sell protection without selling fear?
- 18:59Speaker 3: Fear. That's a great, awesome question. Very, very, very smart question. Yeah,
- 19:04Speaker 3: fear-mongering is not what we want to do because consumers
- 19:08Speaker 3: shut down. Think about how negative our social feeds are.
- 19:13Speaker 3: Now the last thing we want to do as a
- 19:14Speaker 3: brand is be uber negative, right? We believe that everybody...
- 19:20Speaker 3: everyone in this room, everybody in my circle of life,
- 19:23Speaker 3: we're working really hard as Americans to build something. We're
- 19:27Speaker 3: trying to build something for our families. We're trying to
- 19:29Speaker 3: build my identity, my reputation. When you build something great,
- 19:34Speaker 3: somebody wants it. So our narrative is protect what you built.
- 19:43Speaker 3: Protect what you built because in fact, we talk about
- 19:47Speaker 3: it very simple, maybe in an old school way, like
- 19:50Speaker 3: your name is everything my dad used to say that
- 19:52Speaker 3: to me i know i'm sure a lot of people's
- 19:55Speaker 3: people still say that they still say that right your
- 19:57Speaker 3: name's everything that's literally what they want they want everything
- 20:01Speaker 3: that's associated with your name everything you you know your
- 20:05Speaker 3: name could have been like you you built your credit
- 20:07Speaker 3: your 401k your your your career, everything about you makes
- 20:13Speaker 3: you very valuable if you've built a good name. And
- 20:17Speaker 3: when it's worth something, that's when people want to steal it.
- 20:20Speaker 3: And that's the narrative we go to market with. You've
- 20:22Speaker 3: built something, protect it. Because when it's worth something, it's
- 20:27Speaker 3: worth stealing.
- 20:29Speaker 2: All right.
- 20:30Speaker 1: Well, Bill, we appreciate you for joining us. LifeLock, check
- 20:35Speaker 1: it out. I'm definitely going to check it out. And
- 20:37Speaker 1: I see you got a family plan where I could
- 20:38Speaker 1: get my wife and my kids involved.
- 20:40Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 20:41Speaker 1: Because I just want to make sure that their stuff
- 20:42Speaker 1: is secured.
- 20:43Speaker 2: What are you about to say, Lauren?
- 20:44Speaker 5: I was just thinking, like, Norton, you remember Norton? Well,
- 20:48Speaker 5: it's still around.
- 20:49Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's part of our portfolio. Yeah, Norton
- 20:53Speaker 3: is part of our company.
- 20:54Speaker 5: Okay.
- 20:55Speaker 6: I don't know if I knew that, but with older people,
- 20:58Speaker 6: like with my mom and my grandmom, I found out
- 21:00Speaker 6: about Norton because of my mom.
- 21:01Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 21:02Speaker 6: We did it just on her computer solely, but then
- 21:05Speaker 6: it got, now, you know, people are calling you and
- 21:06Speaker 6: they'll tell you they're from this bank or from this
- 21:08Speaker 6: place or whatever. And older people don't really, they don't,
- 21:13Speaker 6: the way that they think about things, they still think
- 21:14Speaker 6: people are very, like, nice and honest. So if you're calling, like,
- 21:18Speaker 6: they just give out their information. Norton has been, like,
- 21:22Speaker 6: the barrier with my mom a couple times. And I'm
- 21:24Speaker 6: just thinking about the fact that, like, you say you
- 21:26Speaker 6: guys have that $ 3 million in restoration.
- 21:28Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 21:28Speaker 6: We almost got into a situation, but Norton helped us.
- 21:31Speaker 6: But if we didn't have that restoration, we would have
- 21:33Speaker 6: been in such a bad position. And a lot of
- 21:35Speaker 6: times families might not have it, especially right now, to
- 21:39Speaker 6: cover these bills that you get because somebody has.
- 21:41Speaker 5: To pay for the damage that's done.
- 21:42Speaker 3: Right, until it's reconciled.
- 21:43Speaker 5: Yes, or you're on the hook. They don't care that
- 21:46Speaker 5: your identity was stolen.
- 21:48Speaker 3: That is such an awesome story, and it gives me
- 21:50Speaker 3: goosebumps that you have a real personal story about that.
- 21:53Speaker 3: That's why we connected Norton and LifeLock.
- 21:56Speaker 5: I didn't even know y'all were connected. My mom still
- 21:57Speaker 5: swears by Norton.
- 21:58Speaker 3: We connected it because we started realizing our Norton customers
- 22:02Speaker 3: also wanted identity protection with the $ 3 million. So that's
- 22:07Speaker 3: crazy that you didn't know we did that, but that's
- 22:09Speaker 3: what we do. They're sister brands. Yeah, love that. Well,
- 22:12Speaker 3: there you have it. Bill DeVaris. Did I say your
- 22:14Speaker 3: last name right? DeVaris, yeah, you nailed it. Okay, well,
- 22:16Speaker 3: thank you for joining us this morning. Of course, thank you.
- 22:18Speaker 2: LifeLock, and it's The Breakfast Club.
- 22:20Speaker 3: Good morning. Awesome.
- 22:21Speaker 2: Hold up.
- 22:22Speaker 3: Every day I wake up.
- 22:24Speaker 2: Wake your ass up. The Breakfast Club. Y'all finished or
- 22:27Speaker 2: y'all done?
