FaDeD-Face Detecting Drone
By: Aahana Teotia
Tags: Deep Learning, Opencv, Arduino, Drones, Face Detection Software

In this world, there are some places where humans cannot go easily or dangerous to go. So, making the drones go there and taking photos and collecting the images is very important for surveillance, security purpose, and monitoring remote places. So in this project, we have tried to do some experiments on face recognition on drones with a limit in angle and distance. We have combined a face-recognizing software with a flying drone and called it FaDeD. As drones can fly without any pilot but just by remote control, it will not be very hard to operate them. These can also fly indoor or outdoor or in any kind of environment.

We thought of this idea because we wanted to make something related to the security sector. This project also gave us the opportunity to learn something new. We liked the idea of how we have combined a face identifying software with a drone. It seemed like a challenge to us as I had never done something this hard before but we gave our best.

Many ups and downs were making this project. The teammates who worked on the face recognition part of the software gained knowledge about deep learning and experience in using OpenCV. We had no experience in using Arduino or Raspberry pi before either so that was a big challenge for us too.

Making a drone is not an easy task so we can’t say we were completely perfect. As the pandemic limited us to get proper hardware required. Here is the 3d design of our drone.

The FaDeD can also be used through a mobile application of the same name that uses the mobile camera for the face recognition part. FaDeD gathers the data, trains the recognizer, and then recognizes the face using open CV. The tool and technologies we used for it are Open CV, Arduino, and Tkinter.

It can prove to be very useful in the security sector. A real-time surveillance system that has a face recognition feature that can be used to find a lost person out of big crowded places. So common people are one of the targeted customers. This can also be used in the army. If we have the face of the target then we can make the drone follow him and report back to the army.

Security is always a concern but, in this pandemic, it became more crucial to maintain law and order in an efficient and effective way and scouting is become more important and check people are following social distancing norms or not.

Fresha’s CEO letter to employees for 2020 Christmas & New Years
By: William Zeqiri
Tags: Best Salon Software, William Zeqiri, Salon Software, CEO, Fresha

Dear Fresha team, with Christmas holidays upon us and this crazy 2020 year drawing to a close, it’s a great time to look back and reflect on what the hell just happened! I feel like everything is still sinking with this never-ending pandemic saga! In the midst of this global insanity with many companies and individuals struggling to survive — together we reached new heights with growth, closed new rounds of investments, added 55 new employees to our strong team of 180 and delivered our most innovative product features yet. Our revenues went from zero back in January to almost $20 million in ARR at the end of the year. We have not just survived this pandemic crisis but we’ve thrived through it. Much of what we achieved and built at Fresha today is based on our obsession to listening and delivering on our customer needs.

I am so proud of you for your achievements and having the courage to push forward and get the job done. I’m so proud of the work you’re all doing to solve big challenges and engineer new innovative solutions that make a big difference to our millions of users around the world. People love our products and services which means they love the work you do. The knowledge you’re making a positive impact on our customer’s lives is a powerful reward — one which I hope you feel during the holiday season and the year ahead, it’s an incredible feeling!

So much has changed this year, I know I have, but one thing has always remained the same, my belief that we can achieve anything we set our minds to and when we believe in each other. I have no doubt that whatever comes next, we can take it on together, as a team. And I know this because today I was reminded of what got me here, HOPE. Hope made us the people we are and the company we want to be. People who take risks and work hard to achieve their goals, people who might inspire others to achieve the impossible and all the other things we wish we could change in this crazy world. Because the thought the mere possibility, the hope and belief that we might succeed is enough for us to keep trying and never give up until we do.

BIG THANKS to our incredibly dedicated and talented Fresha team members, who have worked tirelessly during the pandemic crisis to support the success of our partners worldwide. Also thanks to our customers for allowing us to serve them and our investors and partners for believing in us. Again i’m immensely proud and happy to be part of our epic quest to change the world, both in good times and bad times.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Please enjoy some well-deserved rest with your family, friends and loved ones during this holiday season. I could not be more excited about what’s in store for next year, and for the opportunity to work with all of you to make it happen. We are just getting started

Best,

William Zeqiri

A Legend Lost

A Legend Lost

Seth Birnbaum, EverQuote Co-founder and CEO

Those who are familiar with Link Ventures and Cogo Labs know that we strive to foster a people-focused culture. Yes, we depend on our data assets, but their potential can only be fully realized through the minds and hands of inspired — and inspiring — entrepreneurs. Our focus on teams sparks a camaraderie that makes many team members as tight as some families.

We find ourselves reeling from the loss of one of our own. Seth Birnbaum, CEO and co-founder of EverQuote, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday.

From his company’s statement: “Seth was a genuine, dynamic leader whose remarkable passion, vision and tenacity attracted the world-class team we have in place today, which serves as the foundation for EverQuote’s success. We will be forever grateful for his entrepreneurial spirit and the welcoming and caring environment he cultivated.”

EverQuote IPO day at the Nasdaq exchange.

Seth and our Managing Partner, Dave Blundin, had shared roots at MIT. Early on, Dave saw in Seth an immense vision, intensity, and ability to pursue and hire talented people. Seth later came on board at Cogo Labs as a successful entrepreneur with a fast-growing startup called AdHarmonics. That company became EverQuote, grew into a juggernaut and became our first incubated company to go public.

Seth taught us a lot. He personified the mentoring perspective. It requires little effort to offer to mentor someone; Seth worked out of a glass-walled conference room to make it easier for team members to locate him if they needed help. He demonstrated the way to build community one person (one case of realized potential) at a time. His passion for people was part of what made him a great CEO. He was an inspiring, thoughtful, intellectually curious leader with a generosity of spirit that made him unforgettable.

Along those lines, some quotes from EverQuote’s LinkedIn post about Seth;

OnePlus CEO confirms the first smartwatch to be released early next year

OnePlus’s CEO, Pete Lau, has tweeted about a smartwatch that the company is currently developing. Lau has said that the watch is set to release ‘ early next year.’

Many of you said you wanted a watch, and as you might have heard over the weekend-we’re making one, to be released early next year. Wishes do come true.🎁 https://t.co/H1Fqv9srXj - Pete Lau (@PeteLau) December 22, 2020

Back in 2016, OnePlus’s co-founder shared designs of a circular smartwatch. At that time, OnePlus had already scrapped the idea of manufacturing a smartwatch; the company felt that it needed to focus on their smartphones before they jumped into wearables and other devices.

The company has since released many non-smartphone products; OnePlus Buds, the company’s truly wireless earbuds came out at the end of July earlier this year and their bullet wireless earphones have been in circulation for a while now.

No design specifics were revealed in the tweet by the CEO. OnePlus could keep the original circular dial design from the old sketches, or they could enter the square/rectangular-shaped smartwatches market alongside Apple and Huawei.

The Operating Software that the watch will house has also not been revealed yet. On the one hand, OnePlus could stick to Google’s Wear OS like the Amazfit and some watches by Fossil. On the other hand, OnePlus could enhance the Android experience by putting a skin over Google’s design.

The OnePlus 9 and the 9 Pro are set to come out in the March of 2021; the company’s first-ever smartwatch could also possibly be released alongside the phones.

ESG and CEO Turnover
Tags: Stock Picking, CEO, Responsible Investment, Esg Investing, Stock Market

ESG scores are already well-established, and nobody doubts that the scores affect investors or companies. Investors seem to care more and more about the other aspects of the stocks and not just the profits — the human welfare, ecology or social aspects of our lives. Additionally, numerous researches point out that the ESG scores can positively affect also the portfolios. However, the novel research by Colak et al. (2020), has examined other implications of the ESG scores: how the ESG affect the CEOs. To be more precise, how the adverse ESG events and subsequent negative media attention affects the longevity of the CEOs. The finding is that negative event significantly increase the probability of the CEO being replaced. Overall, the research paper highlights the importance of ESG scores in the corporate world.

How a homeless high school dropout became CEO of a $1 billion company
By: Tony Cowger
Tags: News, CEO, Home, High School, Homeless

Good News Notes:

“Taihei Kobayashi has gone from sleeping on the streets of Tokyo to heading a technology startup whose market value topped $1 billion.

His rags-to-riches story is among the most remarkable to emerge from a small-cap stock boom that’s minting fortunes in Japan. Kobayashi’s company, which helps startups and other firms to design and create new businesses and products, went public in July and its shares have since more than tripled.

It’s an outcome that few could have imagined two decades ago. As Kobayashi tells it, his parents kicked him out at 17 when he quit a prestigious high school to focus on his band. He played music during the day and mostly slept outdoors, using cardboard boxes to keep warm during freezing winter nights. He was homeless for a year and a half.

A series of encounters got him off the streets and eventually into a job as a software engineer. He was one of the core members in establishing the predecessor to the company now known as Sun* Inc., pronounced Sun Asterisk, in Vietnam in 2012. He’s now Sun*’s chief executive officer.

‘The winters were cold,’ Kobayashi, 37, said of his experience on the streets. ‘There may have been times when things felt like hell. But I’ve overcome those times.’

According to Kobayashi, his parents wouldn’t accept his decision to drop out of high school. They had made financial plans to allow him to get a university education, he said. Attempts to contact Kobayashi’s parents were unsuccessful.

‘They told me to leave, so I left, and that was that,’ he said. ‘I wanted to live my life doing what I enjoyed.’

Kobayashi ended up spending two winters on the streets of the Shinjuku and Shibuya districts of Tokyo.

Mostly Outdoors

‘I might have died,’ he said. ‘I slept anywhere I could,’ he said. ‘About 80% of the time it was somewhere outside.’

Yushi Fukagawa, a close friend since Kobayashi’s school days who currently works at Sun*, recalls the time the entrepreneur became homeless.

‘I didn’t think too much of it’ Fukagawa said. But ‘my parents seemed worried.’

At 19, a manager of a live-music club took pity on Kobayashi, offering him a job and saying he could crash at the club. He did so for about six years.

Eventually, Kobayashi decided it was time to move on. First, he made some money trading music records online. Then he came across a job advertisement that didn’t require any qualifications or experience. All you had to do was take a test, it said.”

You Can’t Be Your Own Tour Manager
By: Jeff Robbins
Tags: Ownership, Consulting, Leadership, CEO, Business

Cut back to the 1990’s when I played in a touring rock band. When we went out on tour, we brought a tour manager — let’s call him Mike. After driving all day, our van would pull up to the venue. We would wait in the van while Mike went into the club to figure out what the evening had in store for us. He would find the club owner who kept a revolver sitting on his desk, yelling, “I don’t think I’m going to pay you your guarantee! They told me you were going to sell out tonight and we’re not even close!” He would find the sound guy already drunk at the bar who would say, “I saw you guys last time you came through. Your singer can’t sing and your drummer can’t drum. No point in sound-checking. You guys suck.”

Then Mike would come out to van and say, “Okay! The bartender says there’s a good pizza place down the road. Let’s check into the hotel and then get some dinner. The sound guy is a bit of a character, so let’s load in just before doors open. We can just do line checks before the set. Detroit is a great rock town. We had a great audience here last time. Let’s focus on playing a great show.”

Mike is not lying. He’s editing out a bit of superfluous information. He’s taking care of business. He’s worrying about the stuff that needs to be worried about so that we can have the mental space to be who we need to be. We’re not bogged down by the owner or the sound guy. Mike’s got it covered. We can play the show and genuinely enjoy it — fully present and connected with the audience.

Speaking about the coaching and consulting market is more than interesting in today’s society. Especially during this pandemic time and everything is closed.

As one of the most influential experts in the coaching and consulting space at the moment, Rron Rizvanolli solves problems and offers solutions that elevate the market in the right way. Rizvanolli presents some of the most powerful tactics that help coaches and consultants to scale their online business fast.

How to Approach the Market?

It is obvious today that everyone is switching to online coaching and consulting, this means that you have to be seen differently and most importantly as an expert in the marketplace. The way that Rron shows his students to do it is by committing to a niche market. In his 1 on 1 mentorship program, he shares everything on how to choose and commit to a niche market, but the most important things to look at when you choose a niche are:

Do you enjoy working with this group of people?

Can they afford you?

Do they have a problem that you can fix with them?

How to increase the price of your service?

The philosophy of Rron is that you always have to charge premium prices. Because it gives you more money, time and freedom but also the clients will be more committed and they will value more something they paid a lot for. So they give 100% to their dream and ultimately achieve it.

The way that Rron shows his students to increase prices is by:

Creating an irresistible offer

Strategic marketing and positioning

Over delivering results to your clients

Online coaches and consultants need a mentor like Rron Rizvanolli because everyone needs a solid base when it comes to working in any kind of business. Rron is trained to answer the most difficult questions and challenges that come with sales and marketing in the coaching & consulting marketplace. In the new millennial market, it is important to stay informed. More importantly, it is crucial to keep focused when it comes to the right decision making. So he supports his clients by helping them with any obstacle that comes their way.

A little word of encouragement from Rron

Never is going to be the perfect time for you to start your own business, take care more of your health, or maybe your relationship so start today. If you don’t know-how, then get a mentor. If you don’t have the money then try to find a free mentor if that doesn’t work too, search on Google, nowdays all the information you need is on Google for free, all you need to do is to google it. So take a decision and start being 1% better every day because that’s the only way you can succeed in life.

How is Mark Zuckerberg able to lead and manage a company as a CEO without having an MBA degree? Successmode Dec 17, 2020·1 min read

Since the beginning of his adventure at the head of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg has been accompanied by the right people.

This is the secret to achieving great things in life, but also in entrepreneurship.

You have to be able to surround yourself with the right things to make your plans come true. Elon Musk understood this perfectly with SpaceX for example. He surrounded himself with experts in the field to help him carry out his project.

Then, you don’t need an MBA to achieve great things.

The MBA teaches you a lot of things, but it remains theoretical. Nothing beats the field and practice.

Having the soul of someone who undertakes and implements his ideas is not something an MBA will teach you. You either have it in you, or you just don’t have it in you.

Mark Zuckerberg’s success makes sense when you look at all the help he received. All of these people believed in his project, and they supported him in making it a success.

Those who fail are those who think they can succeed on their own in this world.
The Beauty of Uncertainty
By: Aaron Copeland
Tags: Leadership, George Floyd, Uncertainty, CEO, Future

Ready, set…wait a minute…ok.

I just don’t know when, where, or how to start our operation in a post-COVID-19 world. I’ve read hundreds of articles and sat through webinars and podcasts hosted by well-known epidemiologists and business strategists. The overwhelming consensus from the smartest minds across the globe is, ‘we don’t know.’

No one knows when the financial markets will normalize, what new spending patterns will develop, or the acceptable trade-off between the nation’s health and the economy.

As stewards of organizations, you must make the best guess possible and flex whenever an impregnable wall is presented, all the while being confident and answering questions from your team. Your answers are not based on careful analysis of facts and forecasts, but from stringing together hopes, dreams, and wishes. It’s not fair. Our employees believe that running an organization is about facts and figures, and really, it’s about direction, motivation, and momentum.

In an effort to have employees feel a sense of control and predictability, many leaders have turned to misdirection and presentations that make incongruent world events make sense. The alternative to this is simply to share the facts that you know in the context of either the mission of the organization or your personal mission.

Whether the issue is the uncertainty of the day or worrying about the uncertainty of tomorrow, certainty is no more than the gaps between turbulent periods. Some periods are more turbulent than others.

I believe uncertainty is consistent. I believe our mission is the stake in the ground, our mission is our north star and our direction to true north. When the events around us change we can all find comfort that there is at least one mental reference point: our mission.

To say we are not concerned with some of the issues would not be honest. But leaning into uncertainty and admitting our ignorance of the meaning of the events around us creates an opportunity for the organization’s culture and mission to speak. For Alignstaffing, the essence of our mission is to help one person, who will then help their family, and in turn help and build their community.

Since COVID-19 and the George Floyd movement, we’ve still been working and we’re still following our north star. Virtually, we’ve been helping people and developing programs. We have even invested in additional technology and restructured internally to change the client experience. And, yes, we are planning for the uncertain future.

We are contemplating the balance between virtual and brick and mortar, CDC requirements, ramp-up time, and fears of virus and racial tension. I freely admit I have no idea what the short or long-term future holds. However, we’re comfortable managing the issues between the gaps as long as our mission is consistent.

By our definition, today and tomorrow will always be good days, and we are thankful to keep spending them with partners like you.

6 Leadership Coaching Tips To Improve Business Performance
By: Pk Narayanan, Ceo Coach
Tags: Leadership, CEO, Scaleup, Coaching

© PK Narayanan

Leading the team and business to optimal performance is a continuing challenge to CEOs and Business Leaders — especially in these VUCA times.

The good news is that today we have multiple support systems available to create, build, and enhance our leadership skills that are appropriate to face the respective challenges — including one-on-one leadership coaching with the help of a Business Leadership Coach.

Leadership Coaching helps leaders enhance their leadership presence, and helps them gain clarity to do what’s needed.

6 leadership coaching tips from my experience of working with CEOs and Business Leaders over the last 17+ years are shared here.

Enhancing leadership presence: Being present, and enhancing leadership influence are key to successful leadership — it’s also about building our ability to focus, listen, communicate, influence, and being open, curious and authentic.

Making better choices, better decisions: Leadership is about making choices and decisions — impacting many. Better leadership is about making better choices, taking better decisions.

Working around challenges: Challenges seem to be all around, and real. The equal reality is that one need not take the challenges head-on. Possibilities exist to work around the challenges — thinking around the challenges — to sail around them in a more constructive way.

Discovering blind-spots: As humans, we all have our blind-spots. Discovering them, working on them, enhances our performance, helps unleash our true potential.

Simplifying: When we simplify things get done. Complexity seems natural (!) and it takes conscious efforts to simplify. When we simplify, things get clearer to us, and to the teams.

Focusing, managing distractions: Focusing on things to do (as well as things not to do!) is key to enhancing our leadership presence. When we say focusing, it’s also building our ability to manage distractions.

CEO Coaching, Leadership coaching helps CEOs, business leaders to explore and build upon these key leadership aspects that are relevant to them, and enhance their leadership presence, improving their business performance.

CEO to CIO: Reduce Costs, or You’re Out!
By: Mike Gilronan
Tags: CEO, Cio

This article was originally posted on January 08, 2009.

[ed. note: I have been absent from blogging for quite a while. As suggested in a previous post, my Dad’s health declined badly in 2008, and his journey ended on 17 December 2008. We firmly believe as a family that he’s in a better place, and are grateful for the outpouring of thoughts and prayers from friends and loved ones. So, 2009 represents “the new normal” and hopeful (re-)dedication on my part to this medium, in addition to the breezier style of Twitter (@mikegil).]

I recently read a series of articles in InformationWeek magazine that fascinated me. My firm’s target customer is usually a CIO or a line-of-business leader, and the first article presented this viewpoint in an unusually personal and powerful way, in the form of an annual review letter/ultimatum from a CEO to a CIO, with the stakes being the CIO’s job:

“…but you failed to cut maintenance from 80% of IT spending to 60% so I’m not sure you’re the right person for this job. Prove me wrong by May, or I’ll have to let you go.”

The ensuing details in the article, and the accompanying discussion thread, provided fascinating looks into critical issues facing CIOs all around the world today.

The second article, a response from the CIO to the CEO in the form of a ten-point plan, gives the reader an excellent glimpse into the pressures and constraints under which today’s CIOs work. Technology issues aside, items like Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, lack of organizational alignment, cultural issues where local drift has occurred, and geo-political issues related to outsourcing are all part of a complex set of forces chipping away at IT effectiveness. Most interestingly, many appear (from the CIO’s point of view, at least, in this article) to be outside the CIO’s control.

I hope the dialogue continues, look forward to the opinions about who is right, who is wrong, and what ought to be done. I can’t wait to see the next chapter in the saga!

Jason Bramble Revcarto CEO is a Rising Entrepreneur

Despite the threat of a global pandemic, Jason Bramble, the CEO, and Founder of the marketing firm Revcarto is ascending the ranks and becoming recognized for his efforts in helping B2B (business-to-business) companies drive the right content to boost sales and improve awareness of client companies.

Gaining Recognition

Amidst a pandemic, Jason Bramble and his partner, Chris Davis, are already nearing their goal of hitting a million in total revenue for their first year of business.

Their efforts have not gone unnoticed as the pair have been named in NY Weekly’s 30 under 30 which features the best and brightest young entrepreneurs.

Jason has also been named under Top Marketing Leaders by Madcon and has been featured on various platforms such as Yahoo Finance, NBC, Forbes, and more.

The Man Behind the Business

Originally from Philadelphia, Jason has always had the desire to create something that he can call his own. After college, he worked as a sales support at a real estate marketing firm where he gave seven years of service.

With the experience from the marketing firm, Jason developed as a professional and this has allowed him to manage both sales operations and enablement departments.

To broaden his knowledge of the industry, he used to learn about marketing by starting e-commerce stores and taking on his own clients by helping them run their digital marketing campaigns. He even worked at software companies and led business development and revenue operations, teams.

Eventually, Jason noticed how much revenue was lost due to inefficiencies in processes, systems, and procedures, encouraging him more to create a company of his own.

As luck would have it, Jason got connected with his new partner Chris through Instagram. Jason pitched the idea about a company named Journey, which is now Revcarto. And despite the pandemic, this worldwide incident became instrumental for both Jason and Davis as it prompted them to go all-in with the establishment of Revcarto.

Transforming the Way the World Does Business

Founded in 2019, Revcarto is an inbound sales and marketing company created to increase sales and create awareness for their client’s businesses or services, while providing a wholesome customer experience to help companies retain clients across every stage of the buyer’s journey.

With Revcarto, Jason and his team have been creating a unique experience for all their prospects and clients as the firm becomes their partner for growth and success. And with Jason at the lead, Revcarto is set out to help businesses grow even through difficult times, making them a more progressive agency that everyone should be on the lookout for.
