THIS IS YOUR LIFE…
July 28, 2018

Prior to that time, I had heard so many amazing things about the book, I even referenced the’10,000hour rule’, but I never read the book. It turned out to be a very interesting read.

July 21, 2018

Carbyn has developed an emergency call-handling platform, supported by an ecosystem that integrates live video streaming, location services and texting capabilities. After Amir Elichai, founder and CEO, was robbed on Tel Aviv beach in 2013, he called the police and had to go through a tedious, long-winded conversation with the dispatcher (“Where are you, what happened, etc.”) before help was finally sent.
