From Cigarette ads to warning labels; Cybersecurity's Next Phase Written by: Boyd J. Levitt 12/15/2025 Imagine this... It’s the late 1950s. The air smells like cologne and tobacco. Men in pressed suits lean against chrome-lined cars. A radio hums somewhere nearby. Cigarette smoke hangs in the sunlight like it belongs there. No warnings. No labels. Zero urgency.

Levitt 12/08/2025 Most people treat a new title the way kids treat a superhero cape: suddenly they believe gravity no longer applies and everyone else should applaud when they enter the room.

Written By: Boyd Levitt October 24th, 2025 "The Peace I found, started with the hard questions, I was not ready to hear the answers to" Are Leaders Missing the Point? The Case for Empathy and Clarity in Modern Leadership I know, I know... Leadership advice these days sounds like bad dating advice. "Be assertive, but empathetic. ”Set boundaries but stay approachable.” Hit your KPIs, but don’t forget work-life balance.” No wonder so many leaders are confused. Half the time, you
