Episode 22: What Big Tech Doesn't Want You To Know About Your Data with Daniel Rodgers

In this episode of Oh Hell No…Not My Data, Keisha sits down with Daniel C. Rodgers, award-winning author, former big tech program manager, podcaster, financial freedom expert, and creator of the Escape the Clock methodology for a powerful conversation about privacy, AI, data collection, and the hidden cost of convenience. Daniel shares insights from more than 20 years in tech, including work connected to Microsoft, Google, cloud, product, program management, and AI infrastructure. Together, Keisha and Daniel explore why personal data is more valuable than most people realize, how AI changes the privacy conversation, and why clicking “accept,” “allow,” or “agree” without pausing can have long-term consequences.

The conversation also dives into Daniel’s science fiction novel Kill Switch, a warning-style exploration of artificial intelligence, control, human autonomy, surveillance, and what could happen if society hands too much power over to systems we may not be able to shut down. From real-world phishing stories to AI-generated images, data brokers, smart devices, surveillance, and the future of personal freedom, this episode will make you rethink what you share online and who may be using it.
