992: Making Room For People In The Modern Workplace
The average person spends more than 90,000 hours of his or her life at work, making it more important than ever that employees feel productive and happy in their environment. Companies and employees alike are realizing that today's current iteration of the workplace, the open office leaves a lot to be desired.
ROOM has positioned itself at the center of this conversation as a solution to the workplace's most pressing issues: lack of privacy and dwindling productivity. They believe that modern workplaces need to be flexible, agile, and able to respond to the shifting needs of an organization.
Their booths are cost-effective, high quality and are becoming an integral part of modern design for all types of companies, from startups to Fortune 500s such as Uber, Salesforce, JP Morgan and Google. But when I heard they had also launched in the UK, I invited their CEO and founder, Brian Chen onto my daily tech podcast to find out more.
Brian Chen, is no stranger to open plan environments, having spent the majority of his career working with and advising tech startups, where he routinely found himself exposed to constant noise and distraction. He's a Y Combinator alum, and was a founding member of Bluesmart, a smart luggage company that pioneered a new category of connected consumer travel accessories.

NovuHealth is a consumer engagement company in the health care industry. Combining performance analytics, behavior science and comprehensive technology solutions, they are enabling health plans to better understand, motivate and connect with members.
Thousands of people every year skip necessary health screenings because it's inconvenient, they're busy, or they just don't want to go. Just 25% of adults ages 50 to 64 and less than 40% of adults ages 65+ are up to date on core preventive services such as mammograms, cancer, and diabetes screenings.
At NovuHealth, they have surprisingly learned that a $15 gift card is all it takes to get 80-90% of people to make an appointment. It will even get 50% of people to get a colon cancer screening. The same tactics that keep people coming back to Starbucks, Target, and Hilton are now being used to get people to the doctor.
“There is a huge opportunity for health plans to improve member engagement. Doing so starts with knowing the most effective ways to create meaningful relationships with members,”
As Minnesota increasingly appears on my radar for digital health startups and a thriving healthtech scene, I invited Jordan Mauer, EVP of marketing and engagement at NovuHealth onto the podcast to find out more.

Yegor Sak shares his journey of building Windscribe and the challenges he faced along the way. He explains how he was able to grow the company to more than 50 million active users, despite the intense competition in the VPN industry. Yegor highlights the importance of providing a high-quality product, excellent customer support, and focusing on the needs of the user.
Yegor also discusses his approach to scaling the company with a small team. He believes in the power of remote work and investing in technology to automate processes. This has allowed him to build a global team and scale the company effectively.
One of the key topics of discussion was the ongoing consolidation in the VPN industry and its impact on the consumer. Yegor believes that as larger companies gain more control, prices may increase and privacy may decrease. He also shares his decision to not terminate Russian access to Windscribe, as he believes that people in the country should have access to real news outside of the state media propaganda.
In addition to his work with Windscribe, Yegor also discusses his other company, ControlD. This fully customizable DNS service allows users to block annoyances like malware, tracking, ads, and IoT telemetry, and unblock over 200 services through a network of servers in over 100 cities. All without any apps to install.

Jason Wilk is better known as the AllScreen and 1DaySports.com Founder, and is currently an active Angel Investor, and Co-Founder Advisor of Mark Cuban-backed WriteyBoard.
But today, I invited him onto the show to talk about his brand new FinTech app Called Dave! The app helps millennials by predicting future expenses and preventing negative balances with a unique spin on borrowing money.
Dave exists because its creators think it's fundamentally wrong to kick people when they're down. A coffee should not end up costing you $38 after overdraft and bank fees.
Upon connecting any checking account, Dave instantly analyzes trends from an individual's bank history and displays their '7 Day Low', a number which represents the lowest Dave forecasts your account balance will get in the next week. It's like a weather report for your checking account. If your '7 Day Low' dips below $0, Dave notifies you to take action.
"We invented this new type of account balance because a current balance just doesn't mean anything if your Netflix bill is due tomorrow and your rent check is going to be cashed tonight." says Dave CEO Jason Wilk, who is working with Mark Cuban on their 3rd company together.
