Human trafficking is closer than you think—and the predators are already online. How do human traffickers find their victims? How are they using social media and technology to recruit and control children and vulnerable people? And what can parents do to protect their families?

In this episode of The Seven Figure Builder Show, I sit down with Jeff Tiegs, retired U.S. Army Special Operations officer, author, speaker, and founder of Skull Games Solutions, a nonprofit dedicated to fighting human trafficking and exploitation. Jeff reveals what most people misunderstand about human trafficking and online predators, including:

▶️ How traffickers use social media to recruit victims
▶️ The warning signs parents shouldn't ignore
▶️ How predators manipulate and control their victims
▶️ What open-source intelligence can reveal about trafficking networks
▶️ How parents can build trust and communication with their children
▶️ Why protecting your family requires more than simply providing for them

Jeff also shares how his Special Operations background shaped his mission to become a protector of victims and why awareness, resilience, and courage are critical in the fight against human trafficking. If you're a parent, have children who use social media, or want to understand how online predators operate, watch this conversation.
