What if everything your family needed to thrive during a crisis was just one click away? In this episode, Marine Corps veteran and cybersecurity expert Michael Lester joins us to talk about legacy, digital safety, and enjoying life while preparing for the unexpected.

From flying helicopters in the Marines to launching IronClad Family, Michael shares how a passion for technology and protecting people inspired him to build a company that safeguards what matters most. Hear how he helps families organize critical documents, protect digital assets, and future-proof their legacy—especially when tragedy strikes.
