What do eyeglasses, blockchain, and social media all have in common? If you answered nothing, then obviously you haven't heard of Lucyd. On this episode of Up Next in Commerce, I sat down with Harrison Gross, the Co-founder and CEO of Lucyd, a smart eyewear company that is bringing hardware and software together in pretty incredible ways. Harrison told me all about how the company was built on IP from research universities — an underutilized trove of crazy cool ideas — and how Lucyd's crowdfunding backers became the perfect beta testers for the Lucyd Lyte glasses, which are glasses fitted with bluetooth technology that allow users to talk on the phone, listen to music, engage with Siri, and more, all without ever taking your phone out of your pocket. Smart glasses are not a new concept, so you may be wondering what makes Lucyd different. Harrison is developing an app to pair with the glasses that uses blockchain to create a social community where people can utilize tokens, buy and sell NFTS, and engage with people and brands -- all from their eyewear. It's a whole new kind of commerce, and I'm excited to bring you today's conversation with Harrison Gross!Main Takeaways:The Will of the People: Crowdfunding is not just a way to raise capital, it's a proven method to build a community of people who are willing to help your company succeed. Backers from a crowdfunding campaign can become a pool of beta testers and product development focus groups that can help a company get to a MVP much sooner than otherwise possible.Meet the Market: Although the market might not be in place to adopt your original idea, you can always pivot to deliver something that people need right now. But don't let the original idea die — find a new way to introduce that idea that is suitable to how people live and operate right now, the same way Lucyd is doing with blockchain technology, which you can tune in to hear more about!Make it Easy: If you have a product that will solve a problem or make someone's life easier, you might think it will sell itself, but it won't. You have to fully explain how the product works and where they will see improvement in their life through using the product. You also have to train those who sell the product to build education into their sales speak, and every piece of content you create should illustrate how you are making life better, because when the consumer sees that, you make their purchase decision easy.For an in-depth look at this episode, check out the full transcript below.

Good Morning, Colorado, you're listening to the Daily Sun-Up with the Colorado Sun. It's Thursday August 26th.   Today - Between rising housing costs and a lack of affordable child care many rural school districts are struggling to hire new teachers, and keep existing ones. One approach to addressing this problem is by opening up child care centers of their own.   But before we begin, let's go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett's book “Colorado Day by Day”:   Today, we take you back to August 26th, 1776 when a Spanish expedition consisting of two priests, a cartographer, two aristocrats, and five other men arrived at an area on the Uncompahgre River. They named their campsite “La Cienega de San Francisco”. It still stands today on the south side of Montrose near History Colorado's Ute Indian Museum.   Now, our feature story.   Some rural school districts in Colorado are struggling to hire and retain teachers because of a double-whammy of soaring housing costs and a lack of affordable child care.    Faced with chronic staffing shortages, some have decided to open up child care centers of their own in an effort to attract more teachers. Colorado Sun reporter Shannon Najmabadi and Erica Breunlin recently spoke with staff and administrators at local schools to find out more.   Najmabadi and Breunlin talk with fellow Sun reporter Daniel Ducassi about what they learned.   To read Shannon and Erica's article, go to coloradosun.com   And Before we go, here are a few stories that you should know about today:   Beloved Hanging Lake may be mostly off limits to hikers for the next year, but Forest Service managers see opportunity in the hiatus created by massive mudslides in Glenwood Canyon. During a walk up the trail ruined by mudslides the managers said they expect to create a more sustainable trail to the travertine lake that will be better able to handle the crowds of hikers that visit this year. About 15,000 reservations to hike the trail were canceled when the trail was closed earlier this month. The company that manages them said many people are opting to contribute their $12 fee to the trail rehab work.   Colorado voters will decide in November whether to raise marijuana taxes to boost out-of-school learning. The Colorado Secretary of State's Office ruled Wednesday that supporters of Initiative 25 gathered enough signatures to secure a spot on the upcoming ballot. Backers of the Learning Enrichment and Academic Progress Program Initiative, also known as LEAP, easily met the 124,632-signature threshold to qualify for the 2021 statewide election. The initiative would impose a new 3% sales tax on recreational marijuana starting on Jan. 1 and increasing to 5% by Jan. 1, 2024. That's in addition to the existing 15% state sales tax on recreational marijuana.   Colorado has only paid out about 7.4% of the $444 million in federal rental assistance funds it had available. The amount of money being paid out is increasing monthly, but the state has hired a new payment vendor to get the money out to tenants and landlords who have been waiting for months for help. Including the $246 million local governments had to hand out, the state started with almost $700 million in federal aid available to people at risk of eviction.    For more information on all of these stories, visit our website, www.coloradosun.com. And don't forget to tune in again tomorrow for a special holiday episode. Now, a quick message from our editor.   The Colorado Sun is non-partisan and completely independent.

What's up everyone? We hope you guys are having a nice week and that you missed us on our brief hiatus from an early week episode. With Jake's birthday falling on Tuesday plus a few scheduling conflicts, the guys decided to go for one mega episode this week, in which they have a lot to talk about, and a special chat for you all to enjoy. Starting things off, the guys discuss what went down in Charlotte on Saturday night in the 2nd preseason game, as well as the rest that's gone on as camp has progressed since then. Negatives are discussed, positives are brought to the forefront, and after listening, you'll feel ready to take in the final preseason game of the year this coming Saturday in Landover against the Football Team. After the initial banter, the boys welcome on friend of the show Dennard Melton (@TheFireZoneShow) an expert on the finer points of linebacking to discuss what he's seen (and expects) from this Ravens linebacking corps in 2021.

Despite rocking his best Kickstarter launch ever, there was one metric that was really bothering Night Wolf creator Rob Multari... his returning backer rate? Was this a sign that something major was wrong with his launch? Or was this "problem" actually not a problem at all?

Look at the film we're covering on this week's Pop Screen. Who can say it's not beautiful? That's right, this week Graham and Ewan are reviewing True Stories, the sole directorial credit for Talking Heads frontman David Byrne. A drily comic compilation of stories inspired by Byrne's love of local tabloids, it gave John Goodman an early starring role, it gave Thom Yorke a band name and it gave Warner Bros.' marketing department a headache as they struggled to sum it up in a trailer. It's a strange movie, but fortunately God made some people who like it that way, and it's been a consistent cult favourite. Join us to discuss the film's unusually sweet-hearted view of the suburbs, what the film says about its director, the epic nerd feud between Errol Morris and Byrne, and why you shouldn't expect a seat at David Byrne's house. Some people say this movie is the cathedral of our time. Not me. Shopping is a feeling, and if you've been looking around for the perfect Patreon to donate to, might we suggest ours? Backers get a monthly bonus episode of this very show, access to our other film podcast Directors' Lottery, Graham's weekly Doctor Who reviews, and more. Follow us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook for more puzzlin' evidence of what we're doing next. #popscreen #moviereviews #davidbyrne #johngoodman #truestories #talkingheads #swooziekurtz #stephentoblowsky #spaldinggray

If all goes according to plan, the Special Session on gambling will end today. Also, on today’s Sunrise: — The Florida Senate approved the new Seminole Compact after lawmakers learned it will bring billions of dollars into the state coffers. — Sen. Jeff Brandes disagrees, saying they sold out to the Seminole Tribe. — But selling out was OK with the rest of the Senators. Brandes was the only one to vote against the deal … and the House will pass it today. — A few ideas did not survive the Special Session. The House derailed plans to legalize wagering on fantasy football and other virtual sports. And the concept of allowing bingo at casinos went down in flames, thanks in part to opposition from Sen. George Gainer. — Senate President Wilton Simpson says lawmakers can deal with fantasy football next year, but they won't be messing with bingo. Simpson says they're already expecting a legal challenge to the new Compact. — Backers of the Compact know they may have run afoul of the state constitution, which requires voter approval of any casino expansion. They refused to put a transcript of their Session in the official journal of the Senate because it could be part of a court challenge. — The Senate is done … now it's up to the House; they plan to be done before the end of the day. — Another lawsuit is challenging Florida's new law that clamps down on voting by mail. Voting rights groups claim the real intent is to silence black and brown voters. — Orlando Congresswoman Val Demings is telling her supporters to “stay tuned” as she considers a run for the U.S. Senate. POLITICO is reporting that she's planning to run against Marco Rubio; Demings responded with a tweet confirming that she's looking at Rubio’s seat. — And finally, a Florida Man says he was speeding down Highway 1 in the Keys because he was trying to get home … to Cuba.

Backers of a $15 federal wage say it’s a no-brainer if you want to fight poverty. Critics say it’s a blunt instrument that leads to job loss. Even the economists can’t agree! We talk to a bunch of them — and a U.S. Senator — to sort it out, and learn there’s a much bigger problem to worry about.

The House approved a bill to try to weed out the bad apples of law enforcement. Backers of the bill hope it can improve relations between police and communities of color. Also, on today’s Sunrise: — The policing bill passed the House unanimously … which absolutely no one would have predicted at the start of Session. — A bill to expand and merge Florida's private school voucher programs is headed to Gov. Ron DeSantis after final passage in the Senate. This vote was NOT unanimous. They'll have a lot more money to spend once the Governor signs the voucher bill. — After boasting that Florida had the best election in the country last year, the Senate approves a controversial election reform bill. The bill passed on a party-line vote. — The Senate also approves a controversial bill punishing social media platforms for banning Donald Trump and censoring hate speech. — Don't look now… Otter Cat is back. Last week it was in the Senate… now it's an issue in the House. It was fun the first few times, but Otter Cat may have worn out its welcome in The Capitol. — And today, a homeless Florida Man is being hailed as a hero after saving the life of a driver whose SUV caught fire after a head-on crash in Escambia County.

This is supposed to be the final week of Session, and they will indeed wrap things up by the Friday deadline. But lawmakers will return next month for a one-week Special Session on gambling. Also, on today’s Sunrise: — The Special Session was announced shortly after the Governor signed a new 30-year gaming compact with the Seminole Tribe, which would serve as the state’s electronic hub for online sports betting. — The Seminoles would also be allowed to offer craps, roulette and other Vegas-style games that are not allowed in Florida today. But there are legal issues that could spike the deal. — After hours of debate emotional debate, the Florida House approves a bill banning what the sponsors call "disability abortions." Backers of the bill say they're trying to prevent eugenics … opponents say it IS eugenics. — HB 1221 says any doctor who performs an abortion because the parents don't want a disabled child is committing a felony. — And finally, a Florida Woman is on probation for DUI manslaughter who was clocked doing 111 miles per hour on I-4 in Hillsborough County.
