Welcome to Almost Here, Round the Corner of Future Technology Podcasts with Richard Jacobs.

Future Technologies are always to transform our lives for better or worse or the focus of this podcast.

Almost here means these technologies are now here and starting to be used.

We're just around the corner, from Bitcoin to artificial intelligence, 3D printing,

blockchain, virtual reality, and more.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to Future Tech Podcast. I'm your host, Julianne Lamar, and we have

with us today Philip Andre. He is an expert in payment systems and identity, and he is operating

with Philip Andre and Associate. So thank you so much for joining us here today. Well, thank you,

Julia, for inviting me. Absolutely. So let's just kick it off. You do so many exciting things.

Give us just a little bit of an overview of Philip Andrean

Associate. So I started my career well back in the last decade, excuse me, the last century

as a consultant focused on building trading rooms in New York City and ultimately in London and eventually

moved into the card payments area where I worked for a group called Europay International,

which gave me an insight into a couple things. One is how our card payments operated on a

global scale. At the time, our partner was MasterCard, and ultimately

MasterCard bought EuroPay. And the second thing is, is what are these things that we use, these

tokens, these devices to identify ourselves when we are attempting to transact or to introduce

ourselves or to otherwise create a relationship.

And as Philo Fondering Associates, what I've been doing over the last decade is helping

companies understand their role in those environments, helping them to build out their systems

in those environments. I come to the whole world with a technology focus and have had a computer on my desk

since I graduated university more years than I want to remember ago.
