36. 2x Ideas with Serial Founder Nick Boniciolli

Idea Overflow

Today we’re speaking with Nick Boniciolli, founder and CEO of Optible AI. We touch on his serial-entrepreneur-ness, starting with how his stock trading in university funded his first business, through to his current venture.
He also brings two ideas to the table that we build on - a life soundtrack based on brainwave emotion detection, and a lie detector based on facial recognition and senses that detect blood flow changes in the face.
And we side-track into thoughts on autonomous vehicles, and opportunities in the circular economy.
(18:34) Idea #1 - Life soundtrack
(25:03) Idea #2 - Blood-flow lie detector
(32:11) Autonomous vehicles
(33:35) Opportunity in the circular economy
