In the latest episode of ID Talk, Tony Bitzionis and Alex Perala sit down with Nicole McNamee-Wicks, Director of Biometric Cybersecurity at FaceTec and a former federal agent with over 30 years of law enforcement experience. Nicole shares how her career combating identity fraud with the SSA OIG led her to FaceTec – and why she believes the company’s technology could be a game-changer for securing documents and protecting individuals.
They discuss the rise of fake IDs, FaceTec’s industry-leading spoof bounty, and the UR Code: a compact, digitally signed biometric QR code that preserves privacy, requires no special hardware, and is free to deploy for governments and nonprofits. Nicole outlines real-world use cases from law enforcement to elder care, and explains why this scalable solution could be the most practical answer yet to America’s identity fraud crisis.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
