What happens when a technology leader treats generosity as a growth strategy — not just a nice idea?Dan Hernandez has spent nearly four decades building PCS Technology into one of the San Francisco Bay Area's most trusted IT and cybersecurity firms — with a particular passion for serving nonprofits. From his early days hustling paper routes and mowing lawns as a kid raised by a single mom, to building the first local area network for Bain & Company at the dawn of the personal computing era, Dan has always done things a little differently. He shares information instead of hoarding it. He role-plays with his team before every client meeting. He occasionally eats the cost of a ransomware cleanup because the client is a ten-year partner who had a rough year. And he once engineered a nearly one-million-dollar free Wi-Fi network for six thousand low-income housing residents using rooftop radio line-of-sight technology instead of expensive street-level fiber.Dan talks about his journey from aspiring tennis pro to IT pioneer, the culture he's built around core values and raving fans, the real cybersecurity threats facing nonprofits today, and why he believes generosity isn't just good character — it's good business. He also opens up about the mentors who shaped him, the EOS operating system that transformed his company, and his audacious goal of serving over 100 nonprofits.HIGHLIGHTSDan's early entrepreneurial roots: paper routes, lawn mowing, and collecting cash door-to-door as a 12-year-oldHow a junior-year computer class sparked a 40-year career — because he was better at computers than his genius best friendFounding PCS Technology in 1989 after realizing "there's a computer in every building on every floor" of San FranciscoWhy Dan chose nonprofits over the San Francisco Stock Exchange — "it was more fun and it felt better"Serving on nonprofit boards, including as board president of the Arc of the East Bay and on the San Francisco Giants Community FundThe thorough 30-day onboarding process that builds IT roadmaps within a nonprofit's real budgetCo-authoring the book "Cyber Liability Guard" with Tim Keefe, and the upcoming "From the Server Room to the Boardroom"A heartbreaking story of a hacker redirecting a large donor payment from a small nonprofit — and why Dan took them on pro bonoHow PCS role-plays every client interaction, from service calls to quarterly business reviews, drawing on Dan's sports backgroundThe time a $10,000 missed step in a file server migration became a free fix — no questions askedA $15,000 ransomware cleanup eaten at no cost for a struggling ten-year client, with zero data loss and no ransom paidWhy executive directors, not their IT staff, are the ones who will be sued after a breachHow AI is supercharging cyberattacks and what that means for nonprofits in 2025A midnight firewall crisis: shutting down remote access for 15 clients before hackers could strikeFour decades of IT evolution — from floppy-disk viruses at Bain to AI, SOC 2, and CMMC complianceImplementing EOS (Entrepreneur's Operating System) and living life in 90-day incrementsThe $900,000 California Public Utility Commission grant that brought free Wi-Fi to 6,000 low-income housing residentsDan's marketing journey: from cold calling and bulky mailers to finding the right brand story with Brand3Behind the Brand Q&A: Tom Petty karaoke, working from Hawaii, and the day he met SamanthaDan's big hairy audacious goal: support over 100 nonprofits and be known as "that guy"CHAPTERS0:00 — Introduction1:45 — Generosity and Nonprofit Joy3:47 — Dan Joins the Show4:48 — Early Hustles and Work Ethic6:45 — Tennis to Computers7:31 — Service Mindset in IT8:55 — Founding PCS Technology11:29 — What Makes PCS Unique12:25 — Nonprofit Focus and Boardroom Insight13:41 — Onboarding Roadmaps and Full Stack Services16:02 — Books and Cyber Risk for Nonprofits16:56 — Pro Bono Rescue and Real Incidents17:59 — Hiring for Values and Culture Fit19:42 — Creating Raving Fans20:49 — Role Play and Service Standards22:50 — Raving Fan Stories in Action26:45 — Executive Liability Risks27:59 — AI Driven Threat Surge28:35 — Firewall Crisis Response30:35 — Four Decades of IT Change33:01 — Building a Scaling Team33:39 — EOS and 90 Day Goals34:46 — Core Values and Partnerships37:02 — Mentors and Work Boundaries39:34 — Giving Back and Mentoring41:18 — Free WiFi for Housing43:47 — Marketing Storytelling Shift46:25 — Brand3 Messaging Results48:41 — Behind the Brand Q&A51:27 — Legacy and Contact Info53:31 — ResourcesRESOURCES MENTIONEDPCS Technology https://pcstechnology.comEmail: dan@pcstechnology.comStop Doing Stupid Stuff: Cyber Liability Guard by Dan Hernandez and Tim KeefeBook EOS (Entrepreneur's Operating System)Scale Beyond Referrals WorkshopThe CEO’s Heart for Service is a production of Brand3.
