"It is a scientific fact that these macaques, like all other primates, including humans, are communicating. They communicate in much the same way we do - facial expressions, vocalizations, body postures, those kinds of things." - Jeff Kerr Jeff Kerr is PETA foundations Chief Legal Officer. I asked him to come on the show to talk about one of PETA’s current lawsuits against the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Nathional Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). PETA is arguing that the monkeys being tested on in a government run facility are capable of communication (or “are communicating”). And that we have a constitutional right under the First Amendment to receive their communications. This could be a game changer in allowing us to see what’s really going on in labs that are funded by taxpayer money, and which have so far been censored from public view. PETA’s lawsuit follows years of NIH’s attempts to deny Freedom of Information requests banning PETA executives from its campus and illegally censoring animal advocates’ speech on NIH’s public social media pages. Through the lawsuit, PETA is seeking a live audio-visual feed to see and hear real-time communications from the macaques who have been kept isolated, used in fear experiments, and had posts cemented into their heads. Anthropologists and other scientists have studied macaque and other primate communications for decades and know that the monkeys communicate effectively and intentionally through lip smacking, fear grimaces, body language, and various cries and sounds—all of which constitute speech under the law. Primatologists can analyze that speech on a deeper level to share their stories with the world.…

21 - Starting An Agency, Finding A Need And Building Her Own App To Meet That Need, Meet Elina Chow - Founder of JOT 44:02

4 years ago44:02

44:02

I’ll keep this little introduction short because this is an episode that you don’t want to miss. We’re kicking off the season with Elina Chow, founder of the app JOT, which is going to take your professional life to the next level! The timing couldn’t be more perfect with everything opening up due to Covid restrictions (hopefully!). In this episode you’re going to learn about how you can start your own app from knowing a market very well and solving a problem within that market. Some of the most successful apps in the world are born out of solving a problem. Just look at Skype. Niklas Zennström travelled a lot and was often calling colleagues across Europe, but as a result, was picking up huge phone bills. Whenever he travelled, he had to buy a new SIM card for his phone and pay overseas rates to call his team. This was a problem he had in his life that needed solving. He knew there had to be a better way. Using his knowledge in peer-to-peer networks, Skype was launched by Niklas and his co-founder Janus Friis. Jot™ is a mobile application that helps professionals manage their contacts and their relationships. It gives you quick and easy access to information about past interactions with the contact you are meeting. They want to give professionals a simple and fun way to share contact details, jot down notes and action items and then recall the information as needed. It was created for professionals whose careers depend on the value of their database. After spending decades in senior relationship management roles, they found other solutions on the market too complicated, too expensive and too difficult to use on-the-go.

19 - How To Get People To Pay For Your App Without It Even Being Built First From Teresa Young - Founder of TrueKonnect 48:56

5 years ago48:56

48:56

To build an online course requires a whole bunch of time, dedication, effort and resources. After building it, how would you feel if no one was interested in it? You would be pretty devastated right? But that’s exactly what happens to many entrepreneurs right now in the knowledge industry. In fact this happens to a lot of entrepreneurs in many industries. They build products that they think their audience want but in fact, don’t! The same applies with apps. People invest a whole bunch of time and resources into building apps that no one uses or wants, and ultimately it fails because quite simply, they didn’t validate their idea first. So how can you validate your idea first? Well, going back to online courses for just a moment, what entrepreneurs have learnt to do is to pre-sell their course first. This means they get their ideal audience to pay for the course first before one piece of content is even made. They sell a product that hasn’t been built first! It’s genius, and really helps to validate an idea. If people want it, they’ll pay for it - that’s plenty of validation for an entrepreneur to know that they should build that course. The question on your mind I guess right now is...can you pre-sell an app? Meet Teresa Young, founder of the app TrueKonnect who talks you through the gold-standard way to get started on your ap and the answer to that game-changing question. About TrueKonnect TrueKonnect is the first of its kind that instantly “konnects” you to local beauty pros for all of your beauty needs, based on exactly what you are looking for in your next beauty professional.
