Productivity Yes But at the cost of what?
COVID 19 changed the way we live and work. Our relationship with other humans and the value that we believe in. The dynamics around the work culture have changed immensely. There is a big realization now within the company’s culture as well. What is important to me to keep my life-sustaining versus burning myself to please others. Are you a people pleaser?
In the highest Consciousness employees are able to separate what is important and what is not.
Happiness has a price and the price sometimes has a profound impact on how we see the relationship with our livelihood.
Do you believe that your happiness is more important than your own security?
Productivity comes from doing the things you love doing the most. Not form pleasing others and hoping they would recognize your own productivity.

I have been inviting a lot of entrepreneurs and leaders and talk to them on various topics. Largely the topic centered around entrepreneurship digital transformation and the use of technology and so forth.
Today I thought I would go solo and share some of my learnings of my own.
By reflecting on the things that I've learned so far just by listening to entrepreneurs and leaders who took part in the podcast.
Because I get a lot of questions from upcoming entrepreneurs and I thought I could create a summary of different topics. And I will be publishing a few short podcast sessions just dedicating to those particular topics. I hope you will like it.
For today's session, I would like to maybe focus today more on motivation.
Like many of you, motivation to me comes from being able to do the things that I loved doing from deep inside. Along with being curious being a fool and learning from people.
That keeps me alive and I wake up every day just to do that.
The covid 19 pandemic has changed the way we all run our businesses. The thing that didn’t change is what makes us motivated. We are still doing the same thing but within the confined boundary. Maybe we have taken a different route but still, find our motivation on the things that we love doing the most.
While talking to entrepreneurs what I realize is everyone has their motivation and specific triggers that set them apart from each other. There are similar traits that make them entrepreneurs. Whats separates them is the value that they believe in.
You may have the motivation to make a lot of money by running a business operation. For some, it's about creating a solution so that more people can benefit from it. They wake up every morning to see how many people’s lives can be affected by their solution.

Its system is designed to enable clinicians to detect a variety of medical conditions, prevent blindness, and save lives. AEYE Health collaborates with advanced academic medical centers in the United States and its solution is already in use in primary care clinics to help improve patient outcomes.
About Zack Dvey-Aharon, Ph.D., CEO and Co-Founder of AEYE Health
Zack started working on data analytics when he was 12 years old. Later, when he was doing his Ph.D. in machine learning at Tel Aviv University, he developed a fascination with machine learning and the way it can advance healthcare. When he researched heart data (phonocardiograms) and brain data (EEG and fMRI), he realized that if the brain and the heart are the engines of the body, then the eyes are its mirror. With this realization, he began exploring healthcare of the eyes, and discovered the world of retinal screening. In 2018, he turned to his friend Danny Margalit, former founder of one of Israel’s largest tech companies, who was immediately intrigued by the system Zack started developing. They joined forces and established what later became AEYE Health.

Sidney Collin is the inventor of the NexStride, and is the co-founder and CEO of De Oro Devices. De Oro Devices is a VC-backed biomedical device start-up whose mission is to develop products to improve mobility, independence, and quality of life for those who suffer from mobility disorders and the aging population. NexStride is a small, portable device that uses research-backed sensory cues to help people with Parkinson’s overcome freezing of gait and be able to walk smoothly.
Sidney started the company while studying Biomedical Engineering at Cal Poly. She has an
academic research background in computational neuroscience, with a recent research paper
published in the Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology. In addition, she has experience working in R&D at a past medical device startup during their product launch. Sidney was awarded Cal Poly’s 2019 Outstanding Woman in Engineering award, Outstanding Student Award, and Lisa Hufford Scholarship Award. She was also recognized as one of the most influential women at Cal Poly by the Wire in their 30 under 30 list, and as an accomplished young business leader in the Pacific Coast Business Times 40 under 40 list.
De Oro Devices’ mission is to improve mobility, independence, and quality of life. The first product, NexStride, uses visual and auditory cues to help people with Parkinson’s overcome freezing of gait to regain mobility and independence.
Freezing of gait is one of the most common and most debilitating symptoms of Parkinson's, defined as a sudden onset of immobility. Research shows that external sensory cues can be used to reconnect the brain and body, bypassing the damaged neural circuits, to overcome freezing of gait. They took the most effective visual and audio cues and combined them into one small, versatile device that attaches to any cane or walker. The visual cue is a green laser line and the auditory cue is a metronome, customizable to the person's walking speed. These cues have been scientifically shown to be effective in reducing the duration of freezing episodes, frequency of episodes, and frequency of falls.
The NexStride is a simple and effective way to regain independence and mobility.

Bilal Soylu of XcooBee (https://www.xcoobee.com) talks to Pramod in Hitechies Podcast where he explains how their technology is set to change the in-store purchase experience through no contact purchasing straight from your phone for a safer retail experience.
His team pivoted from privacy tools to creating a whole new shopping experience as part of COVID response.
Imagine
Walking into a store and, instead of waiting in line for self-checkout while attempting to maintain social distancing, you checkout from your phone.
For small business owners, they can easily authorize a real-world purchase of any item by their employees, instead of giving them an expense account or credit card.
A nephew visiting the store on behalf of his immune compromised grandmother at any time and shopping on her behalf without worries of exposing her or himself further.
A better insight into your college-age child's spending without a need for them to access to your credit card but still supporting them when they need to get something at Target that they need
Meanwhile stores can reduce the cost of self-checkout stations, keep their employees safe by reducing their interaction with customers and also capture additional impulse purchases and shopper data. With XcooBee Retail System Stores can process more sales with the same number of employees and deploy less hardware while having better store security. All this can be coupled with AI at checkout points to validate purchases faster and more accuracy (think Costco), and much more.
Furthermore into the conversation Bilal Talks about privacy and importance of privacy as well as how we could monetize our own privacy using XcooBee as a solution.
