by This week Simon is joined by special guest Aidan Fitzpatrick, a serial app inventor and data privacy evangelist who has the distinction of being the first to “crack the code” on creating technology so people could recover their lost Apple data (neatly thwarting the FBI’s early requests for a back door access). His efforts in social impact technology and app and data creation has earned him England’s highest technology honor from the Queen of England, the Queen’s award, twice. He’s been an invited speaker for Google, Snap and a host of other technology leaders and his most recent app, Camo, is revolutionizing how people engage in virtual meetings, streaming and content creation.
