Why You’re Easier to Manipulate Than You Think | Robert Siciliano

For founders, entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders, success isn't only about strategy—it's also about recognizing the blind spots that influence how we think, decide, and respond under pressure. In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with cybersecurity expert Robert Siciliano to explore what more than 30 years of studying risk, deception, and human behavior has taught him about why we're easier to manipulate than we think—and how becoming more aware can make us harder targets. Robert explains the Human Blind Spot, how scammers manufacture urgency to bypass better judgment, and why understanding human behavior is central to becoming a harder target. The conversation also covers social engineering, online scams, identity theft, password security, two-factor authentication, credit freezes, and fraud prevention.
