This podcast episode delves into two significant topics: Brian Niccol's new leadership role at Starbucks and the implications of a major data breach at National Public Data. The hosts express skepticism regarding Niccol's ability to rejuvenate Starbucks' identity as a social space while navigating declining sales and employee morale, particularly in light of the pressures from the company's founder, Howard Schultz. In the latter part of the episode, cybersecurity expert Dave Hatter provides valuable insights on safeguarding personal information post-data breach, emphasizing the necessity of understanding the breach’s details, monitoring finances, and leveraging available resources to mitigate identity theft risks.
