For more than a century, window cleaning for skyscrapers has been a dangerous, labor-intensive job. Skyline Robotics is changing that.In this episode of Building Better, Ross Blum, President and COO of Skyline Robotics, discusses how their flagship robotic system, Ozmo, is transforming facade maintenance through automation. Ozmo cleans windows three times faster than traditional methods, reduces risk for human workers, and creates new opportunities in the industry.The conversation explores the challenges of implementing robotics in an established industry, how trust is built with stakeholders, and the role of human labor in automation. Ross also shares insights into privacy concerns, cost drivers, and the technical complexities of working with outdoor robotics.About Building Better:Building Better with Brandon Bartneck focuses on the people, products, and companies creating a better tomorrow, often in the transportation and manufacturing sectors. Previously called the Future of Mobility podcast, the show features real, human conversations exploring what leaders and innovators are doing, why and how they're doing it, and what we can learn from their experiences. Topics include manufacturing, production, assembly, autonomous driving, electric vehicles, hydrogen and fuel cells, leadership, and more.About Skyline Robotics:Skyline Robotics is a deep tech robotics and automation company bringing robotics to facade maintenance. Its flagship product, Ozmo, is the world's first high-rise window cleaning robot, offering a safer, faster, and more effective alternative to human window washers. With artificial intelligence, computer vision, and machine learning, Ozmo is disrupting the $40B window cleaning industry. While Ozmo automates the physical task, human operators remain an integral part of the process, overseeing operations and ensuring efficiency.Key Takeaways: Skyline Robotics is revolutionizing window cleaning through automation. The company's mission is to own the facade, extending beyond just cleaning. Automation presents major opportunities in outdoor environments. Trust-building is critical for successful implementation of robotics. Privacy concerns must be addressed when using data collection technologies. The cost of window cleaning is influenced by labor, weather, and regulations. Human labor still plays a role in the automation process. Transparency and humility are key in building client relationships. Technical challenges include adapting to various building designs and conditions. Data analysis can enhance building maintenance and efficiency.Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to Skyline Robotics 05:52 The Importance of Facade Maintenance 08:47 Cost Drivers in Window Cleaning 11:34 Automation and Labor Dynamics 14:58 Privacy Concerns and Data Management 17:49 Facade Management Opportunities 20:44 Technical Challenges in Robotic Cleaning 23:41 Building Trust in Automation 26:48 The Journey of Innovation 29:54 Conclusion and Key Takeaways 46:17 The Complexity of Window Cleaning Automation 48:40 Building Trust in Automation IndustriesAbout the Guest:Ross Blum is the President and COO of Skyline Robotics, leading operations across Israel and the USA.

ConstitutionDAO had raised over $45 million for the auction, but was unable to compete against Griffin's final bid due to hidden expenses such as Sotheby's auction fee of 13.9% and the costs to preserve and transport the historic document. This caused confusion and frustration, as some felt the DAO had not been transparent enough with its contributors and closed fundraising too early. Now that the auction is over, ConstitutionDAO is fracturing. Some members are demanding refunds while others are urging the DAO to pursue a new project with all that capital. Since it began, ConstitutionDAO has maintained that if it lost the auction, all contributors would be refunded. What many donors new to the Ethereum ecosystem didn't realize, however, was that the network's high gas fees meant no one would see their full donation amount returned.3.

Cryptocurrency & FinancialMarkets News & Stats22nd Nov 2021Today I talk about the following:1. Our Portfolios performances2. ConstitutionDAO had raised over $45 million for the auction, but was unable to compete against Griffin's final bid due to hidden expenses such as Sotheby's auction fee of 13.9% and the costs to preserve and transport the historic document. This caused confusion and frustration, as some felt the DAO had not been transparent enough with its contributors and closed fundraising too early. Now that the auction is over, ConstitutionDAO is fracturing. Some members are demanding refunds while others are urging the DAO to pursue a new project with all that capital. Since it began, ConstitutionDAO has maintained that if it lost the auction, all contributors would be refunded. What many donors new to the Ethereum ecosystem didn't realize, however, was that the network's high gas fees meant no one would see their full donation amount returned.3. A California man who in February agreed to plead guilty to felony charges of money laundering and operating a crypto exchange without proper licensure has been sentenced to three years in federal prison, according to a release from the U.S. Department of Justice4.Quidd, a marketplace for digital collectibles and a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, has raised a total of $5 million in private pre-sales and an initial DEX offering (IDO). The token sale took place on Polkadot project incubator Polkastarter on Nov. 18. The allotment of 2 million QUIDD tokens at a price of US$0.25 per token sold out in under an hour, raising $500,000.https://cointelegraph.com/news/animoca-brands-raises-5m-for-nft-marketplace-quidd5.

The integration works for Ethereum (ETH) deposits, and allows Binance users to directly deposit their funds without using the Arbitrum bridge.10. Bitpanda, an Austrian cryptocurrency exchange, announced Monday that its digital asset investment product is now completely integrated with Lydia, a French mobile payment app.With the integration, Lydia consumers will be given access to over 170 digital assets, including cryptocurrencies, commission-free fractional stocks, exchange-traded funds, and precious metals.The partnership with Lydia strengthens Bitpanda's objectives in France, according to Eric Demuth, co-founder of Bitpanda.11. https://financefeeds.com/bitso-partners-circle-us-mexico-payments-corridor/The opportunity for Circle and USDC to be part of making cross-border exchanges seamless between the U.S. and Mexico — the world's largest exchange corridor — is tremendous.12. CRO, the native token of the Crypto.com exchange, soared to a record high after the launch of the Cronos protocol and the announcement of a 20-year agreement to rename the Staples Centre the Crypto.com Arena.Crypto.com was created as Monaco Technologies in June 2016 by co-founders Kris Marszalek, Rafael Melo, Gary Or and Bobby Bao. CRO went live in late 2018. The coin forms the basis for Crypto.com's financial services, including its cryptocurrency exchange, payments app and Visa credit card. Holders of CRO can stake their coins to act as validators on the blockchain and earn fees for processing network transactions. They can use CRO to settle transaction fees and earn cashback through the payments app and credit card. The price of CRO has been rising since the end of October, ahead of the launch on 8 November of the mainnet of Cronos, its Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible network for decentralised finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and the metaverse.The Cronos network runs alongside the Crypto.com blockchain and, according to the Cronos blog, “aims to massively scale the DeFi and decentralised application ecosystem, by providing developers with the ability to instantly port apps from Ethereum and EVM-compatible chains.“With low cost, high throughput, fast finality, and built-in interoperability, Cronos is poised to bring decentralised applications to the 10M+ user base of the Crypto.com ecosystem and beyond.”Cronos uses the Cosmos software development kit (SDK) to build in interoperability and bridging to the Crypto.org blockchain and other chains with Inter-Blockchain Communications (IBC) enabled.Network fees for on-chain transactions are paid with CRO, the platform's native token.

Welcome to week 18. To me, the best influencer marketing programs look to elevate the creator beyond the contractual agreement. When brands grow alongside creators, something magical happens. I wanted to learn more about what this looks like which is why...I'm talking to Adam Hadi. Adam is the VP of Marketing at Current which is a modern bank built to meet the needs of a younger demographic who live paycheck to paycheck. When it comes to influencer marketing, no one is doing it better than Adam. There's a good chance his team at Current is already working with your favourite creators. Adam has shown the value of building deep relationships with creators. Spoiler alert: it doesn't happen overnight. Look no further than Current's one-of-a-kind partnership with Mr.Beast. Fun fact: Adam gave Mr.Beast his first brand deal back in 2017 while working at Quidd. So, let's get to the good stuff. Here's my conversation with Adam Hadi.

The Mobile User Acquisition Show

My guest today is Adam Hadi, the VP of Marketing at the mobile bank Current. Adam began his career as an economist at the Bureau of Labor Statistics and made his way into mobile app marketing for The Topps Company. Since then, he's headed up marketing for leading apps such as Draft, Quidd and now Current – and advised a host of other apps on influencer marketing. Adam's experiences are fascinating because with his background in quantitative performance-focused marketing, he would be an unlikely proponent of branding in marketing - yet in his present role at Current, he has championed driving performance while being very brand-focused, even without massive budgets. In this conversation, we dive into why branding matters, especially for high-involvement products like fintech apps - and how Adam approaches this. As someone that, much like Adam, is very performance-focused, this was a refreshing & new perspective on marketing.Key Highlights:As someone with a predominantly performance marketing background, what made Adam aware of the importance of branding.Why branding is far less important for games than it is for high-involvement, emotional products like fintech apps.How Current's brand and performance marketing efforts are integrated.Why complete focus on performance can erode your brand - and eventually hurt performance.How Adam recommends approaching branding for a performance marketer that is looking to become more brand-conscious.How the evolution of mobile has resulted in the natural shift to an increasing emphasis on branding.Check out the full transcript and show notes here:http://mobileuseracquisitionshow.com/episode/why-you-need-to-protect-your-brand-in-a-relentlessly-performance-focused-world-with-adam-hadivp-of-marketing-at-current/**Get more mobile user acquisition goodies here:http://RocketShipHQ.comhttp://RocketShipHQ.com/blog**Check out our podcast featuring inside stories of how technology evolves and grows:http://HowThingsGrow.co

Today's is a unique episode. I have two amazing guests to offer two different perspectives about a theme that I've always been very very fascinated by - influencer marketing, and the economics of internet fame. Sophia Yeh(aka Sophia Beatbox, or Sophia Kiddbeatz) is a YouTuber and influencer manager. Sophia literally grew up with Youtube. She started making videos in high school, and really took off on the Youtube platform as a teenager making these really cool beatboxing videos. After growing her presence on Youtube for a number of years, she moved over to the business side of influencer marketing - in helping influencers strike deals with brands. Adam Hadi is the VP of Marketing at Current, and is known as one of the foremost experts in the world at influencer marketing, particularly for mobile apps. Adam began his career as an economist at the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and made his way into mobile app marketing for The Topps Company, in which capacity he stumbled upon the wild world of influencer marketing. Since then, he's headed up marketing for leading apps such as Draft, Quidd and now Current - and advised a host of other apps on influencer marketing. Between them, Adam & Sophia bring very unique perspectives on influencer marketing - on what it's like to be an influencer, on what it takes to grow an audience as an influencer, on the unique and peculiar challenges of being a creator and a businessperson, on how deals are made on influencer marketing platforms - and so much more.KEY HIGHLIGHTSWhat inspired Sophia to make Youtube videos in high school - and the first results she saw on her first 4 videos.How Adam stumbled upon influencers while running campaigns for a soccer app.How influencers like MiniMinter & KSI evolved with the Youtube platform and expanded their brand from just FIFA related content to much broader themes.How Adam essentially hunted down his target influencers at the conference PAX East.The most important factor that contributes to an influencer's early growth - and why ignoring this caused Sophia's Youtube to die down for a bit. How this factor impacts Youtube's algorithms.What catalyzes influencers who grow really big - or expand their brand in dramatically different ways?What results Sophia saw when she tested videos that didn't show her beatboxingHow marketers evaluate a new channel for influencers who are present on it. Is there a minimum audience size at which a platform becomes interesting for marketers?Why influencer marketing can be intimidating for performance marketers - since they dont have a lot of raw data to base decisions off of. What Adam recommends doing to make these assessments when there is imperfect data.Why platforms such as Google have had some reluctance to embracing influencer marketingThe Adpocalypse - and how that hit influencers badly, and how Sophia reacted to the hit her channels were taking. Check out the full transcript and show notes here:https://howthingsgrow.co/the-inner-workings-of-internet-fame-with-sophia-yehcmo-at-most-amazing-adam-hadivp-of-marketing-at-current/**Get more goodies here:http://MobileUserAcquisitionShow.comhttp://RocketShipHQ.comhttp://RocketShipHQ.com/blog
