ACap ReCap: Financial and Tax Tips

Making IT Your Secret Weapon: Cybersecurity and AI for Small Business

Are you worried your business could be taken down by a hacker, ransomware attack, or one wrong click from an employee? In this episode, Ara sits down with Bonesy Ijeoma, founder and CEO of AllSafe IT and AllSafeIntelligence (and fellow EO Los Angeles member), to break down how small and mid-sized businesses can turn IT from a constant liability into a true force multiplier.

Bones shares his journey from teenage tech whiz helping his dad’s accounting firm, to database developer, to consultant, to building multiple IT and AI companies that support airport retailers and growing businesses across the country. Together, they dig into what managed IT actually is, why it matters more than you think, and how AI can radically streamline your operations without losing the human touch your clients expect.

You’ll learn:

  • What a managed IT provider really does day-to-day (beyond “fixing computers”)
  • Why onboarding and offboarding employees is a critical security risk most owners underestimate
  • The three biggest warning signs your business and data are already at risk
  • How to think about Google Workspace vs Microsoft 365 as you grow
  • Practical ways to use AI today (including how Ara’s firm uses it to troubleshoot tax software)
  • Why AI should start with business problems, not shiny tools
  • How infrastructure-as-a-service and remote desktops can secure a distributed workforce
  • Where AI has the highest impact: eliminating copy-paste and low-value busywork so your best people can do their best work

If you’re a business owner who’s been DIY’ing IT, dealing with recurring outages, or wondering how to use AI without creating chaos, this episode will give you a clear, practical roadmap—and a few hard truths—on how to keep your company safe and ready to scale.
