Summary

Mark Jeffrey is the award-winning co-founder and CEO of Guardian Circle, a service tackling an extremely critical industry most of us take for granted… emergency response. He's also a serial entrepreneur with five exits, a published author, named one of '50 to Watch' by Variety, and worked closely with some of the biggest names in tech including Jason Calacanis and Travis Kalanick.
Guardian Circle will support the six BILLION people worldwide and in developing countries, who have no emergency services at all — particularly in countries like India where a woman is sexually assaulted every 15 minutes.
Guardian Circle is the first emergency response system that acts as an AMBER Alert-style warning for your own private network. The app offers four different alert levels: Emergency, Urgent, Request and

Only A Test, so your guardians know the severity of your request, can communicate with one another and organize a response team, dispatching help closest to your emergency. These guardians are then rewarded in cryptocurrency with Guardium, the company's new token built on NEO. Tokens can be redeemed for more services or sold for fiat currency within the platform. All transactions are recorded using blockchain-based smart contracts.
Guardium's token sale is going on now and closes June 1, 2018 @ 6:59AM (UTC)

0:13.3	Almost here means these technologies are now here and starting to be used.
0:17.8	We're just around the corner, from Bitcoin to artificial intelligence, 3D printing, blockchain, virtual reality, and more.
0:32.2	Coming to Dallas, Texas, September 14th, 15th, and 16th, 2018, the Blockchain and Future Tech

0:52.0	and several other future technologies that are poised to and
0:56.4	actually changing our lives as we speak. Here's why you should attend. As you may know,
1:01.7	early adopters are the ones that investigated and profited from things like the gold rush
1:06.7	in the 1800s, from the dot-com boom in the 1990s, from the internet boom in 2005, from the
1:13.5	smartphone explosion in 2007, from the real estate boom that ended in 2008, and of course,
1:19.5	from the Bitcoin boom that started in 2012. Early adopters act now, they don't wait until
1:25.0	later. They go out west first and they're covered wagons. They
1:28.4	find the biggest gold nuggets. If you consider yourself an early adopter and you want to find
