Hi, everybody and welcome to another episode of Fastlane Founders and Legacy with me, Jason Barnard. And a quick hello and we're good to go. Welcome to the show, Kevin Koym.
Kevin Koym [00:00:45]:
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Jason Barnard [00:00:47]:
Brilliant. Lovely to have you here. We're going to be talking about the Impact Through Innovation. I'm really interested in innovation, business, how it all fits together, how we can make an impact. And from a business perspective, keep your business going while you're innovating, which is something you would imagine is really simple. But I found to be very hard at Kalicube, which brings me to this, which is your Knowledge Panel. This is where we specialize in the representation of people and companies in Google and in AI. And I thought it was really interesting that you don't have a subtitle of your name, so Google can't categorize you.
Jason Barnard [00:01:20]:
That's the thing at the top, the little arrow. So Google doesn't know which category to put you in. And because it works on cohorts, that's a big problem.

You are looking really closely there.
