Facial recognition is everywhere. We have heard stories about all kinds of surveillance, but facial recognition is even more integrated into our lives than you may realize. Every time I access my phone, it uses facial recognition, when you use filters on popular apps, that is facial recognition. Even the camera I am using right now is tracking my eyes to focus. Today we are going to talk with a company that builds one of these systems.

Today we are talking with a company you might be familiar with, CyberLink. They are know for their video players and video editing tools, but they have recently been building a product called FaceMe that provides facial recognition for various applications, like like authentication systems. We have with us Richard Carriere, a senior executive at CyberLink who focuses on AI, Media and Facial Recognition, and he is going to tell us how facial recognition works and why it is important.

Stress, Burnout and bad behavior are rampant. We see signs of a greater search for meaning in the fallout from the Great Resignation. Today we are going to be speaking with some people who started out on a journey to discover their real self, and along the way started a company to help others do the same.

Before we get started, I wanted to ask everyone to think about subscribing to the channel. Currently 96% of the people who watch our videos are not subscribers. That subscription really helps the channel.

So, two monks, a startup founder and an investment banker walk into a bar. Well, I don't know about the bar part, but they did get together to start a company to help leaders discover their true selves, helping them free themselves from the trappings of the ego. Philosopher Soren Kierkegaard summed it up as, to upbuild is the key to maximizing human potential. So today we have with us Upbuild founders Rasanath Das and Vipin Goyal to tell us what self-realization is all about.

Welcome Vipin and Rasanath

I have heard so many times, I don't have to worry about privacy, because I have nothing to hide. But privacy is so much more than that. Protecting your privacy keeps you safe and those who know you safe as well. Today we are talking to someone who is building the tools to help you choose privacy.

Ghostery was created in 2008 as a weekend project of David Cancel to get a peek behind what was happening with web pages he was visiting. Fast forward to 2017 when Ghostery was acquired by Cliqz a company out of Munich Germany. Now Ghostery has a whole suite of privacy and security products including the Dawn Web browser, the Glow search Engine and Insights which provides real-time analytics.

Today we are talking with Cliqz's founder and Ghostery's CEO, Jean-Paul Schmetz, about the increasing importance of online privacy and what it means for you. Jean-Paul, or JP as he goes by, will fill us in on how Ghostery's suite of security and privacy tools help to keep you safe and generally make things work better.

Supply chain issues have consistently been in the news. We are seeing lead times for some products more than a year out. Quite frankly some of these items will be end of life before they are ever shipped. Businesses are desperately struggling to just manage to this situation, much less provide a great customer experience. Today we are talking to a company that is helping to solve this problem.

With the rapidly changing landscape of product sales, there is a lot of talk about experiential retail, but right now, companies are spending so much time struggling to get control of their supply chain and logistics that the customer gets lost in the chaos.
