In this episode of Built in America, host Sam Mahmood sits down with Blake Hall, co-founder and CEO of ID.me, to explore his remarkable journey from Army Ranger to tech entrepreneur. Blake shares how his experience in military service shaped his approach to leadership and ultimately inspired the creation of ID.me, a digital identity platform now used by tens of millions of Americans.

Blake opens up about the sacrifices required to build something meaningful, the importance of integrity in leadership, and what it means to navigate criticism while staying true to your mission. He also discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the need for trusted identity verification and reflects on the legacy he hopes to leave behind for his children.

Join us for an inspiring conversation on leadership, resilience, and the pursuit of purpose in building a company that’s changing the way we prove who we are.

Let’s keep building…
