A team-based approach
to corporate wellness

“Let’s talk about activity and strain. Let’s talk about that. Let’s talk about your variable heart rate. Those are things that, my guess, 2 to 3 years from now, everyone’s going to be talking about.”

Laurenn Cutshaw catches up with Ed Buckley, CEO and Founder Peerfit, a flexible fitness solution that lives in the corporate wellness category and is fully paid for by health insurance. They talk about how Fitbit made counting steps cool, the next big personal data metric, and the value and behavior of the 65+ crowd.

Picture This: Artificial
Intelligence, Genuine Efficiency

“I think in the next five years that any tool that’s based on the management and distribution of your content, that doesn’t have a significant component that’s based on AI to help you either tag or organize or distribute your content, without the AI, it’s going to be garbage.”

We speak to Tyler Steinhardt, Director of Marketing for the Premier Lacrosse League, and Andrew Fingerman, CEO of PhotoShelter. The two spoke about their new partnership and Tyler spoke specifically how AI from PhotoShelter is saving his team hundreds of hours of work by auto-tagging pictures, and even automatically identifying brands on the field of play!
