Easily one of my favorite startup founding stories. Andrew Farah, CEO and Co-founder of Density, wanted to create an API he could call to find out how many people were in line at his favorite coffee shop. Once Andrew figured this out, he quickly discovered this sort of technology was something many real estate operations teams and workplace teams across the country would want. Shortly after announcing what he'd created and that he intended to build it out more, thousands signed up for a waitlist to learn more.Density is both a software and hardware company, but as you'll hear Andrew describe, they're a reluctant hardware company that's really great at creating software solutions. By bringing in some of the best talent in creating physical products and leaning on his experience leading a dev shop, Andrew has created the perfect balance that is driving the success of Density today. Whether or not you care about office space utilization, you'll be hard pressed to listen to Andrew and not be inspired by what he's building and dream up other use cases throughout this episode.

Lisa and her guest Scheffie Lindquist have an entertaining and fun conversation about The Paris Wife by Paula McLain, which is a historic fiction book about Ernest Hemingway's marriage with Hadley Richardson. There will be spoilers in the book. McLain writes about how she read letters from Earnest and Hadley and her extensive research was utilized in this book. The Cleveland Plain Dealer described McLain's masterful way that she portrayed Hadley's pain in the book. However, The New York Times writes that the book's dialogue has some clichés. The Guardian says this book is more of a risky affair than its sugary surface portrays. Indeed, the book delves into how Hemingway fell in love with his second wife while still married to Hadley. Vogue writes an article about Hemingway's second wife - Pauline and how she's often villainized. There is still discussion and debate about Hemingway's mental health issues. In his book, Hemingway's Brain, Andrew Farah wrote that due to his many traumas he wasn't suffering from bipolar disorder or manic depression. He believes he suffered from brain injuries triggered by multiple concussions. Books Mentioned on the show: Calypso by David SedarisHolidays on Ice by David Sedaris. This includes his famous story about working as a elf for Santa.Spindle by W.R.

John J. Miller is joined by Andrew Farah to discuss Franz Kafka's 'The Trial.'
Real estate is the largest expense for most companies. More than a trillion dollars is put towards unused (but leased) space. But for buisness leaders paying expensive leases, how much office space do they need? And how do they know how many people are in the building? The second challenge is how space used in a world of hybrid working? Are certain amenities empty while others are always crowded? Some businesses even have entire floors occupied by five people. This year, two of the most significant opportunities are optimizing real estate during a pandemic and designing real estate spaces, so employees/customers have exactly what they need and need it. When COVID hit, Density Founder and CEO Andrew Farah realized that bringing people back to the office safely, it would require new types of real-time data to ensure social distancing. They created go/wait screens for customers that gave people the necessary information to know when it was safe to enter and launched new sensors that gave even more insight into usage. Things started to take off in three months, Density had seen more revenue than all of 2019 combined. Andrew went on to raise a $51M Series C from Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Jason Calacanis, and others to scale further. By the end of the year, the company had nearly doubled in size and signed a record number of Fortune 100 enterprises, universities, governments, warehouses, etc. There was no way to forecast what 2020 would hold, but Andrew was able to turn one of the worst scenarios facing any founder into the fastest growth period in company history. In today's episode, Andrew shares the journey he has been on and talks about how their technology sits above any open space and gives a real-time view of that information. There are no cameras to track people or behavior -- on purpose. Its privacy-focused and highly advanced tech uses infrared light, artificial intelligence, and depth data to determine what's happening below. Imagine the room you're in right now represented by billions of dots, with your movement shown as different colored dots lighting up in that space. Then A.I. analyzes what's happening from there.

Almost every infrastructural challenge our cities face begins with the question of density. How many people are actually in the city? Where are they spending their time? Which trains are overcrowded? What about parks? Sidewalk traffic? San Francisco has one of the worst housing crises in history. Which of our buildings are being used at capacity? Without an answer to these questions it's impossible to effectively build. So how do we measure these things? I talked with Andrew Farah, CEO of Density, about the work his company has done in the space, and the now essential work they're doing to help our businesses and cities fight back against the pandemic.
In this week's Inside Access Control, sponsored by the Security Industry Association, we sit down with Andrew Farah, CEO of Density and it is packed with great content. Density is a company that started with hardware and software focused on people counting sensors and data. They have since adapted to much more for businesses and are one of the leaders working on what work will look like as offices, grocery stores, and all commercial buildings start to open up to workers and patrons. Andrew shares his experiences and thoughts on what work and commercial spaces will look like.

Hemingway's Brain Examined - TBI, CTE & SuicideEvery man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.~ Ernest HemingwayDr. Andrew Farah, is a forensic psychiatrist, psychopharmacologist, and the author of a remarkable new book: http://geni.us/farah (Hemingway's Brain). This interview, our first CBJ discussion, is at once transcendent, entertaining, and prescient regarding the brain awareness changes today taking place in both our society and our neuroscience community. This is a republication of our exceedingly popular earlier conversation at CBJ/114 Brief BioDr. Farah is a native of Charleston SC and now serves as Chief of Psychiatry at the High Point Division of UNC Healthcare. In addition to this extraordinary piece on Hemingway, we've invited Andy back to CBJ for a serious discussion regarding the homocysteine theory of depression, and the use of reduced B vitamins for depression and neuroprotection, particularly the prevention of dementia challenges. Yes, he's a neuroscience expert as well. Stay tuned for our next visit. His Interest In Hemingway's BrainIt's important to note that Dr. Farah's remarks in this engaging and remarkably informative interview arise from his love of Hemingway's works. His passion for meaningful work as a writer is evident, his professional experience as a psychiatric/forensic investigative reporter is exemplary, as is his abiding personal drive to face the new, discoverable realities of Hemingway's brain function. If you have loved the troubled, insightful and metaphoric Hemingway, as we have over many years, you will most certainly find our discussion interesting. And you will genuinely appreciate Andy's book. From the historically documented challenges of Hemingway's https://www.bu.edu/cte/about/what-is-cte/ (chronic traumatic encephalopathy, CTE), to alcohol abuse, to the challenges of global celebrity in this CBJ/114 episode, we discuss many interesting aspects of Hemingway's life and mind. For decades his death and life challenges have remained so inexplicable because they occurred in times of ineffective brain diagnostic technology, only about 56 years ago. * Photo by https://unsplash.com/photos/wwV3ZMLaAmg?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText (Mariya Georgieva) on https://unsplash.com/?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText (Unsplash) - Lake Como Hem's Medical TragedyThen, even at the esteemed Mayo Clinic, the extant standard of care overlooked Hemingway's brain challenges as biologically relevant, measurable or correctable. Upon careful review, stigma and celebrity kept him from going to Menninger's [a nationally esteemed psychiatric evaluation/treatment facility] for his depression, as he could appear more medical for the purported reason of hypertension at the medical Mayo Clinic. His http://corebrainjournal.com/136 (celebrity kept him away) from improved psychiatric care. It's reassuring to confirm how we've come such a long way in our understandings of brain injury in just a few years.

ADHD Connects With Chronic Fatigue & FibromyalgiaIt is quality rather than quantity that matters.~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca 5BC - 65ADDr. Joel Young - As the medical director and founder of the Rochester Center for Behavioral Medicine Dr. Young provides care to patients across the lifespan and travels the landscape beyond ADHD. He's opinionated about parallel biomedical, metabolic conditions that significantly impair ADHD/Executive Function recovery if not addressed comprehensively at the outset. In addition, Dr. Young is responsible for all program development and oversees RCBM's clinical staff of more than twenty practitioners. His primary clinical interest involves the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity through the life cycle, and Dr. Young also specializes in treatment-resistant depression. He has researched and published on clinical issues regarding chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia and weighs in during our CBJ interview on these omnipresent clinical comorbidities with ADHD. Brief Bio - Beyond ADHDIn addition to his patient care responsibilities, Dr. Young is Chief Medical Officer of the Clinical Trials Group at the Rochester Center for Behavioral Medicine. Often the clinic participates in a number of national clinical trials, usually involving ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, or dementia. Dr. Young oversees all treatment taking place at the Rochester Center for Behavioral Medicine. Dr. Young is also committed to the education of patients and mental health providers. He has given a multiplicity of lectures, locally and nationally regarding these specialties. He is also Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the Wayne State University School of Medicine.

Homocysteine & The Depression ImperativeThere is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow men. True nobility lies in being superior to your former self.~ Ernest HemingwayDr. Andrew Farah is a forensic psychiatrist, a psychopharmacologist, the author of a remarkable new book, http://geni.us/farah (Hemingway's Brain), - and an all-around deeply interesting guy on many levels. In this interview, our second after our first delightful http://corebrainjournal.com/114 (Hemingway's Brain CBJ/114) discussion, is again most entertaining, and prescient regarding the brain awareness changes today taking place in both our society and our neuroscience community. Here Dr. Farah dives from the commanding precipice of brain injury, art, and history into the deep caverns of neuroscience: brain molecular physiology. This Depression Imperative encourages more precise thinking with more predictable outcomes for treatment failure on many levels. Here we start with depression. Brief BioDr. Farah is a native of Charleston SC and now serves as Chief of Psychiatry at the High Point Division of UNC Healthcare. This report addresses fresh details regarding the homocysteine theory of depression [1], and the use of reduced B vitamins for depression and neuroprotection, particularly the prevention of dementias. Yes, he's a neuroscience expert as well. The standard of care for depression in those distant Hemingway years dramatically differs from today. Today we know more about multiple causes of depression and, as Dr. Farah so articulately reports, the biology of brain deterioration for a complexity of biologically relevant nutritional contributions that mushroom into depression over time. Homocysteine presents a fresh marker, a depression imperative for all of us working with mind science. Farah's 2 CBJ Episodes: A Mix of History, Art, Metaphor, and RealityDr. Farah's depression imperative lessons go beyond just memorable - to transcendent. Mark down this interview as also unforgettable. - Thanks, Andy.

UNTETHER.tv - Mobile strategy and tactics (video) | Pervasive Computing | Internet of things
There is a word that keeps cropping up when it comes to mobile anything - density. It is such a great word unless there isn't any. There are 3 axis for mobile these days: Context, location and density. Context is easy to start with: Is it morning, noon or night? Is it raining, sunny or snowing? Location is getting easier (and VERY slowly getting more accurate): Standing in a stadium, restaurant or train station? New York, New Jersey or Philadelphia? Density is a little more challenging. It looks for the answer of how many people are nearby or in a shop or are using an app in a specific region. The problem is that to make key mobile marketing decisions you need accuracy on all three. Hence, the three axis of mobile. Today's guest is Andrew Farah, founder of the aptly-named Density. They install in/out counters in the doors of small and medium-sized businesses to do one thing: Count people entering and leaving the business. Seems simple enough but the challenges and the impact of what they are doing are many and wide-ranging. Full show notes can be found here.
