When Enrique Rangel first entered the world of aesthetic lead management, he was shocked to discover that practices were waiting an average of nine and a half hours to follow up on their leads. Maybe that doesn't sound egregious at first — after all, plastic surgeons and medspas can get pretty busy. But considering that many other industries respond to their leads within minutes, the need for an aesthetic-focused lead management system that could help optimize and organize follow up and increase conversion rates became immediately apparent. In this episode of the Technology of Beauty, Enrique tells the story of how MyMedLeads grew from a back-of-the-napkin idea to an industry-leading platform that was recently acquired by Nextech Systems. Tune in to hear the story as well as get a preview of upcoming enhancements to the platform, plus much more, in episode 49 of the Technology of Beauty.

Location: Remotely Date: Tuesday 26th January Company: Hypersheet Role: Co-Founder Bitcoin has had a great year so far, after hitting a new all-time high of ~$42,000 it has been in a consolidation range bouncing between $30,000 and $40,000. Since that top, we have seen a massive uptick in FUD, including a misreported double spend. This ‘double spend' scared some investors and NexTech, a software company that had recently bought 130 Bitcoin, sold off the $4 million of Bitcoin they had acquired as a result. With Bitcoin cooling off for the first time in this bull market, what is the on-chain data telling us, and how can you know when a bull market is coming to an end? In this interview, I talk to on-chain analyst and the co-founder of Hypersheet; Willy Woo. We discuss the run-up to $42,000, what the on-chain data indicates, price targets for Bitcoin and how to call the top.
