1074: The Tech Transforming Employee Reimbursement For Mobile Workers
Since 2005, the mobile-enabled workforce has grown 11 times faster than the total workforce, with more than 92 million mobile-enabled workers now in the U.S. alone and a growing number of companies allowing use of personal devices to make balancing the demands of work and personal life easier.
Motus recently announced the launch of a first-of-its-kind solution that makes it possible for companies to easily and accurately reimburse employees for the business use of their personal mobile devices. As the world’s foremost experts on reimbursement, Motus developed the Fixed and Variable Rate (FAVR) reimbursement methodology.
After the IRS recognized FAVR as a tax-free reimbursement option in 1992, Motus used it to transform how companies reimburse employees for personal vehicle use. With this new solution, Motus applies the same FAVR code to mobile devices for the first time, allowing companies to fairly, accurately and compliantly reimburse employees for this rapidly growing mixed-use asset class.
As recent trends in employment law now require employers to recognize even small tasks performed by employees on their personal devices as work, fair and defensible reimbursement is more important than ever. Organizations often face legal action over inaccurate expense reimbursement – and lawsuits have begun to include disputes over accurate mobile device reimbursement.
Motus CEO Craig Powell joins me on this daily tech podcast to discuss the announcement in further detail, including why he believes this is a huge stepping stone in helping to accommodate the needs of the future workforce.
Craig also discusses how the company’s recent acquisition of Wireless Analytics made this possible and shares the strategic vision Motus has for the future of reimbursement for mobile-enabled workforces.
Craig is the visionary of Motus with experience leading companies to achieving market leadership within their industries. As President and CEO, he is responsible for the vision, strategic direction, cultivation of key relationships and tone of the winning culture at Motus.

1221-the-drone-software-platform-built
A lot is happening in the drone space right now, with one of the big stories being the emergence of open-source for drones. Auterion has found itself an interesting niche in the industry, developing a drone operating system and analytics platform based on open-source R&D that is rapidly gaining traction. Think iOS vs. Android (Auterion). Auterion enables drone manufacturers to focus on their hardware, so they no don't have to worry about developing and continually updating the software layer that controls the aircraft and captures and manages the data. This reduces R&D costs and enables companies to focus on innovating new applications and payloads and focusing on key differentiators.
Auterion is building an ecosystem of hardware platforms unified around a single software system, with a consortium of companies mounting a credible challenge against market leader DJI, chipping away at their market dominance. GE Aviation, Freefly, Avy, Impossible Aerospace, Quantum-Systems, and several other companies already use Auterion, with more in the works. At the heart of Auterion is PX4, the most used flight control software (in terms of units) in non-DJI drones. The project was started by Lorenz over 10 years ago and today counts more than 8000 users (individuals and companies) and 600+ contributors. Because the project is open source (and is permissively licensed) it has gained broad adoption worldwide and is today comparable to "the Linux" for drones. Hundreds of companies build components, products, and solutions that are compatible with these open standards.
Lorenz Meier Co-Founder of Auterion joins me on the Tech Talks Daily Podcast to share the story behind the software platform designed to make large-scale drone operations simple, safe, and fully integrated in workflows.

2369-fiscalnote-the-tech-behind-global
In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I chat with Tim Hwang, the 30-year-old CEO of FiscalNote, who became the youngest Asian American CEO on the NYSE in August 2022. Under Tim's leadership, FiscalNote has grown significantly.
FiscalNote is the premier platform for regulatory and policy data, functioning as the "Bloomberg terminal" for state, federal, and global policy information. With over 5,000 clients, FiscalNote powers the data used in President Biden's daily briefings, informs decision-making at half of the Fortune 500 companies and enables foreign embassies to monitor global changes and enact diplomacy and treaty negotiations.
During the interview, Tim shares the background story of FiscalNote, which he started during his junior year of college alongside his childhood friends. He also discusses how he secured Mark Cuban as the company's first investor through a cold email after watching Shark Tank.
Tim emphasizes the importance of a "Bloomberg terminal" for policy in today's rapidly changing regulatory landscape. With 69% of people in the government and regulatory affairs sector experiencing increased policy issues, FiscalNote's technology and AI-driven platform help key decision-makers navigate complex policy environments.
Lastly, Tim delves into his commitment to equal opportunity information and intelligence, highlighting FiscalNote's work with clients across the political spectrum and around the world. As misinformation continues to plague modern society, Tim believes everyone should have equal access to accurate data, regardless of political beliefs. Join me and Tim as we explore the innovative world of FiscalNote and its impact on policy intelligence.

Arcus is a fintech startup working to create better financial health for individual people and the financial institutions by using technology to build a more seamless, secure, and enjoyable finance experience.
Edrizio De La Cruz is the CEO and Cofounder of Arcus and immigrated from the Caribbean to the South Bronx at age 11, and immediately started working, but quickly became frustrated that he couldn’t help his parents make ends meet and manage their finances.
However, being so close to Wall Street fueled him with endless dreams, ambitions and possibilities. After spending time in the US Air Force Reserves, he became an Aircraft Engineer at JFK Airport, but became enamored by the world of finance and technology while attending community college.
In spite of not being the ‘traditional fit’, he then kicked off his career as an Investment Banker at J.P. Morgan, and later graduated from The Wharton School. This journey instilled an innate sense of purpose and vision to democratize access to better financial services for everyone. In 2013, this vision sparked the launch of Arcus in Silicon Valley’s Y-Combinator.

Millo Appliances is a food-tech company on a mission to inspire the global community to adopt a healthier and more sustainable diet by developing innovative solutions for simple, enjoyable food preparation.
Founded in 2016, the company created the Millo blender, a smart, simple, and silent device. Millo is the blender reimagined and reinvented as a smart gadget for our busy lifestyles. Inspired by minimalist design and crafted with materials of the highest quality, Millo seamlessly blends into any environment, fitting in with other smart devices.
Its technology makes it three times quieter than the average blender and allows it to do things that other appliances can’t. Millo doesn’t need any buttons - it can be controlled from anywhere on its 360-degree, touch-sensitive surface, as well as via its own smartphone app. It is cordless, fully portable, and can make up to 10 smoothies on the go with just one charge.
Millo is powered by a brushless engine with an integrated magnetic coupling. This innovative technology, called AirDrive, was developed and patented by Millo’s Founder and CEO Ruslanas Trakselis, who was inspired to create it after seeing his daughter play with a toy with two dancers that were spun magnetically.
Ruslanas, an avid athlete who does marathon and triathlon training in the early morning, decided to reinvent the blender after becoming frustrated by the mess and noise caused by making his post-workout smoothie with a regular blender, which often woke up his family.
Millo Appliances has raised a total of €1.5 million in investment. Its Kickstarter campaign in 2017 raised over €100,000 and saw over 300 reservations for Millo in less than 30 days.
Millo’s Founder and CEO Ruslanas Trakselis shares the startup story that began with an idea in Lithuania and has taken him to the show floor at IFA in Berlin.

Embedded finance looks set to radically transform digital businesses and create a new benchmark for customer experience across multiple industries. According to Juniper Research, the embedded finance market will be worth $138 billion by 2026.
In the near future, embedded finance will enable digital businesses to serve SMEs and micro-entrepreneurs worldwide, helping them sell to their core offering and create diversified revenue streams by embedding payments, insurance, lending, and other financial services under the banner of their existing brand.
Innovative businesses are also expected to adopt embedded finance to overcome perennial challenges around handling payments across geographies, currencies, and differing regulatory zones. As a result, they will be able to offer fintech as a service to help clients implement financial services into their own business models.
Frederick Crosby - Chief Revenue Officer at NIUM, joins me in a conversation about the trend towards embedded fintech and how the Nium platform enables banks, payment providers, travel companies, and other businesses to collect and disburse funds in local currencies to over 100 countries.
