Our guest today is an Army Ranger who hunted down the Al Qaeda bomb network during his time in Iraq. He also led a platoon for fifteen months in the war and he was awarded the Bronze Star with Valor for leading his men during a firefight against Al Qaeda which saved twenty American lives.

But believe it or not, that is not the main reason he is on the podcast today. His name is Blake Hall and he is the Founder and CEO of ID.me which is a $1.5 Billion digital identity verification company which has grown to employing over 1000 people and credited with eliminating $210 billion in government identity fraud out of the estimated $400 billion to take place during the pandemic.
