Your host, Doug Noll, talks with the COO and Co-founder of Merit, Jacob Orrin. Having lived in various places before settling in Silicon Valley, Jacob experienced firsthand the frustration of not being able to easily verify credentials and access programs in our modern, tech-driven world. This frustration led to the creation of Merit, a platform designed to streamline the process of identity verification and data management, particularly in government and emergency response sectors.

One of the most compelling stories shared by Jacob was about Merit's work with first responders, specifically firefighters. Merit's platform has revolutionized the credential verification process for these brave individuals, allowing them to easily check in and out of their work and significantly reducing paperwork.

Your host, Doug Noll, talks with the CFO and Chief Health Systems Officer of Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, Dawn Koffarnus. Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida is a private, nonprofit organization that collects, stores, and distributes donated food to more than 625 feeding partners in seven Central Florida counties.
