Can you "Find Balance in Entrepreneurship"?
Charly takes some time today to discuss the challenges of balancing entrepreneurship with personal life.
Learn strategies for setting boundaries, managing priorities, and maintaining well-being.

If you use “Sign in with Google” to access other tools and websites, have you thought about what happens if that account is taken away from you? Google now uses AI to continuously scan accounts for policy violations, and since October 2025, accounts can be terminated in a single automated step with no warning.
In this episode, Charly covers:
✅ How your Google account connects to every service you sign into with it
➡️ Real examples of accounts terminated by automated AI enforcement, including a manga artist, a developer, and a father cleared by police
⚡ Why the appeal process is largely a dead end, with first appeals routinely rejected within minutes

✨ How patch notes meant for developers also give hackers a roadmap
⭐ Why de-identification does not protect centralised data sets
❗ Practical steps to reduce your blast radius as a business owner
