The Liquid Lunch Project How One Founder Built Tech to Outlive Us All
What if your future kid could hear from a grandparent who's no longer here? Not in a cheesy, preloaded card, but a real message, made just for them?
This week, Matt grabs a digital drink with Jared Emerick, Founder & CEO of Emotiga, the company behind Kapsol, a platform that lets people record heartfelt messages today and deliver them years from now. Think wedding day notes from your late father, or advice from Grandpa showing up exactly when your kid needs it.
But don't get it twisted—this isn't sci-fi fluff. Jared's building tech that blends emotional intelligence, AI, and storytelling to bring meaning back into our hyper-automated world.
🍸 What you'll hear in this episode:
-
How "Kapsol" lets you send messages into the future
-
Why emotionally intelligent tech is the next big market
-
The moment that sparked Jared's mission (and why it still gets him choked up)
-
What entrepreneurs get wrong about "scaling" emotional connection
-
Why the 50+ crowd might be your startup's secret weapon
-
How to build software people feel, not just use
💡 Notable Takeaway: We're losing intergenerational wisdom…and relying on AI to fill that gap. That's dangerous.
