Professional Bio

Christopher Trocola is the 2024 IAOTP Top Founder/CEO of the Year, a three-time Marquis Who’s Who honoree (top 3% globally), and the founder of ARC Defense Systems – creators of NexDefense, the world’s first AI antivirus that stops deepfakes, voice cloning, and synthetic fraud at the device level.

Before AI defense, Christopher spent a decade reshaping regulated industries: he helped draft 10 state solar laws, built America’s first nationwide sales-licensure platform, and deployed one of the earliest AI agents for customer and rep onboarding – cutting processing time by 80%. Those experiences taught him how to scale fast, stay compliant, and build systems that outlive founders.

Known as “The Crystal Ball” for calling, he’s scaled ventures past $100M in revenue while applying timeless Kingdom principles to modern business. He is the author of Chains Off, Crowns On: Kingdom Principles for Business Success and the upcoming AI Revolution: Navigating the Ethical Frontier.

Whether he’s keynoting on AI risk, regulatory survival, or faith-driven entrepreneurship, audiences leave with clarity, conviction, and an immediate action plan – plus his popular free diagnostic “Is AI Eating Your Business?”.

Is AI Eating Your Business?

Your organization is adopting AI faster than ever — but is it quietly exposing you to deepfakes, regulatory fines, or reputational collapse? Christopher walks executives through his signature 18-minute diagnostic (the same one used with private consulting clients) with live demos of real attacks and hands every attendee his “Is AI Eating Your Business?” workbook + 90-day compliance roadmap. Perfect wake-up call for boards, leadership offsites, and industry conferences.

Deepfakes Are Already Inside: Why Your Current Cyber Stack Is Obsolete

Most companies spend millions on firewalls that stop everything except today’s biggest threat: synthetic media. Christopher demonstrates live deepfake voice calls, video scams, and AI phishing that bypass every legacy tool — then reveals NexDefense, the world’s first AI antivirus that blocks them at the device level. CISOs call this “the demo that keeps me up at night — in a good way.”

Kingdom Entrepreneurship: Building Wealth That Outlives You

Based on his bestselling book Chains Off, Crowns On, Christopher delivers a no-apologies masterclass on scaling ventures with biblical principles — profit with purpose, leadership that lasts generations, and wealth that becomes legacy. Consistently the highest-rated talk at faith-driven founder events and Christian business conferences.

Chains Off, Crowns On: Faith-Driven Leadership Masterclass

The complete framework from Christopher’s book: identity, authority, stewardship, and multiplication — translated into daily practices for founders, CEOs, and high-capacity leaders who want Kingdom impact at scale.

AI Firecalls for the C-Suite

Concise, zero-jargon briefing designed for boards and executive teams: current synthetic threat landscape, regulatory timeline, financial exposure, and the one technical layer that actually reduces risk today. Always ends with the diagnostic workbook and clear next steps.

The Crystal Ball Playbook

Every booming market follows the same predictable lifecycle:

Dreamers – visionaries who see the future
Bankers – capital pours in, infrastructure rises
Salespeople – explosive scaling + professionalization (Christopher spent his career here: wrote 10 state laws.
Sharks – consolidation, margin wars, predators circle
Thieves – fraud explodes, regulators descend, most players die

Using hard-won stories from solar and today’s AI gold rush, Christopher reveals exactly which phase your industry and company are in right now — and the three moves that let you dominate Phase 4 instead of becoming Phase 5 roadkill.
Attendees walk away with a one-page diagnostic that instantly shows their current phase, the threats barreling toward them, and the playbook to build a business that survives.

Perfect for founder retreats and industry events.
