πŸŽ™οΈ In Episode #228 of The Geek Within, my guest is Wes Kussmaul. He is the CEO of The Authenticity Institute, which is an incubator that supports companies providing measurably reliable identities of individuals to their target markets in healthcare, finance, critical infrastructure protection, and others where reliable identity is important. Wes was the founder of Kussmaul Encyclopedia in 1981, which featured an encyclopedia, email, and primitive chat, which later became Delphi Internet Services Corp. I am looking forward to hearing more about how all of that happened. Wes and I talk about the importance of privacy and how the internet has taken that away from most of us and we want it back.
