How can technology help us prevent injury? - Ivonna Dumanyan: CEO and Cofounder of FathomAI

This was a very fun episode where I sit down to talk with Ivonna about the device her company (FathomAI) built to help people exercise with less injuries. We talk about the subjective and objective components of injury prevention as well as a little bit into the biomechanics of what their product is measuring.  I enjoyed it so much that I then interviewed her technical cofounder about more of the biomechanics and I'll be releasing that this monday.

How will the next billion users interact with the internet? - Jani Pasha: CEO of Lokal (YC-backed)

Jani and I talk about how his company helps people in India who don't speak English leverage the internet to reach their goals. This is one of the episodes of the series I'm doing on the rise of innovation outside of Silicon Valley.  This company is particularly interesting for me because there are linguistic borders to the internet and Lokal is breaking them down for people who don't speak English in India. There are a lot of languages in India. I'm trying to do the same with my podcast with the languages of Spanish, Portuguese, and French and will soon be publishing those episodes on other channels.
