Welcome to the Tearsheet Podcast.

We seem to be in a societal tug of war about privacy. Facebook's CEO famously augured that people would happily give up their privacy on his social network. Financial apps like Venmo create a public data exhaust on individual payment history. On the other hand, initiatives abound in financial services to ensure privacy is upheld and comes first before anything. So, which is it? Do people really care about privacy?

Yuval Brisker believes privacy is the issue of our age. The three time entrepreneur is back in the founder chair with his newest company, Mezu. It's the first mobile payment app that allows users to keep their id entities and spending habits private. It doesn't use blockchain and it's just like a smarter version of cash.

Yuval Brisker is my guest today on the Tearsheet Podcast.
