Most people don't realize how much their personal information is being bought and sold every day. Data brokers are making billions, pulling details about you from public records and the internet, and then packaging and selling it, usually without your consent. That's how your information lands in the hands of scammers, spammers, even stalkers. It's why you get endless robocalls and why ads seem to follow you everywhere. That's where Aura comes in. Aura actively removes your data from broker sites and keeps it off. They also instantly alert you if your information shows up in a breach or on the dark web. But Aura goes beyond data protection. With one app, you get a VPN, antivirus, password manager, spam call protection, dark web monitoring, and even up to $5 million in identity theft insurance. All backed by 24/7 US-based fraud support. Other companies might sell just credit monitoring or just a VPN. Aura gives you all of it, together, at the same price competitors charge for just one service.

Today, we're sitting with a legend, an absolute powerhouse for all of you. Our guest is a season C-suite executive who has held top leadership positions in two of America's most iconic brands. He led the modernization of 7/11 during his tenure as CEO, overseeing a major transformation that extended product offerings and improved operations globally. Later, he took the helm of Blockbuster during a critical time in the company's history. His experience spans retail, entertainment, entrepreneurship, and today, we're excited to dive deep into his insights. Join us as we introduce to you, though one, the only legendary Jim Keys. I literally every day is a new adventure. I never know where I'm going to be, what I'm going to do, what next adventure is on the horizon, and I truly have no routine. Now, if I'm at home, I try to hit the gym, the first thing, the basics, right? Yeah. But on the road, you just never know. How often are you on the road? About 50% of the time. 50% of your life is spent on the road. Yeah, quite a bit, especially since launching the book. Yeah. And let's talk about the book. Education is freedom, the features in your hand, and I know you did a tour with Mr. Beast on that, right? Yeah, I was really fortunate to have Mr. Beast philanthropy reach out and they were doing a program with Ron Clark Academy over in Atlanta, bringing 800 teachers in to help them. And Jimmy Donaldson's done some amazing, amazing work in philanthropy and teaching kids the power of giving. It's incredible stuff, but he gave me an opportunity and he said, "Hey, would you like to partner on a scholarship opportunity when they did this video?" So I immediately said, "Yes." I mean, they've got 260 million subscribers.
