Manali Yavatkar, the Founder and CEO of Palm Bin, with a new approach to food waste collection for composting joins the Green Business Podcast.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Manali Yavatkar discuss the following:



* It’s Earth Month you have a sustainable new appliance for the kitchen–What is Palm Bin’s vision and what is the product you are bringing to market?

* What was your inspiration for solving the food waste problem?  What is the problem you are solving?

* How does the Palm Bin work? Can you break it down for our audience?

* What are the primary benefits of the Palm Bin?

* Where can our listeners buy the appliance?





Manali Yavatkar is Founder & CEO of Palm Bin committed to delivering solution in reducing the 93,200,000,000 pounds of food waste that are sent to landfills from our homes each year, where it produces 20 billion pounds of methane. Armed with a passion for sustainability and a technical background, Manali has set her sights on solving the unpleasant side effects of home composting.

Manali is a graduate of Columbia University with a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering, but has been a green advocate since youth when she was inspired by the film “An Inconvenient Truth.” Prior to inventing the Palm Bin, Manali served in data scientist and machine learning engineering roles at a Bay Area healthcare startup. She switched her focus, however, when she began to upcycle food waste during the pandemic. Manali bought a countertop bin, but when that began to smell within a day, attracted fruit flies, and required constant cleaning, Manali realized there had to be a better way. Through her research, she found many people keep food scraps in the refrigerator. The lightbulb went off and the end result is Palm Bin, a smart mini-fridge for compost collection.

Hi, I’m Andre Martins, and I’ve got a story to share about going from painting houses to running my own business, Party Rentals R Us. It’s been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, but it’s taught me a lot about never giving up. Back in 1996, I came to the U.S. at 16 years old, looking for a better life. I started working right after high school as a house painter during the day and went to college at night. It was tough, but I was determined to make something of myself.
In 2009, I decided to start my own business, Party Rentals R Us. It began as a side gig with only two bounce houses, just to make some extra money. But soon, I realized it could be something bigger. I graduated from college with a finance degree in 2011. But the job market wasn’t great, so I couldn’t find work in my field. That’s when I decided to focus on growing my business instead. Instead of giving up, I invested everything I had into Party Rentals R Us. It was a risky move, but I believed in myself and my business. Slowly but surely, Party Rentals R Us started to take off. We became known for providing great inflatables and party equipment for all sorts of events, from backyard parties to corporate gatherings.
Today, Party Rentals R Us is more than just a business to me – it’s my legacy. It shows that with hard work and determination, you can achieve your dreams, no matter where you start. My journey from house painter to business owner hasn’t been easy, but it’s been worth it. It’s taught me that with perseverance and a bit of courage, anything is possible.

People also listened to: How Enterprises Can Reduce Risk of Deep Fakes and Other Cyber Attacks

Tyler Reese, director of product management for Netwrix, a software vendor that delivers effective and accessible cybersecurity to organizations of all sizes joins Enterprise Radio.

This episode of Enterprise Radio is on association with the Cyber Security Channel.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Tyler Reese discuss the following:



* AI is undoubtedly the #1 topic in any tech room these days. Like any technology, it can be used both for good and for bad. What are the main AI-associated threats anyone should be aware of nowadays?

* Can you give us examples of how such deep fake attacks occur?

* What can security teams do to mitigate the risk of such an attack?

* It sounds like the industry’s best security practice is just enough to face the AI threat. Don’t we need anything much more sophisticated?

* So, is it all about security teams taking care of these threats?



TIP: AI is a powerful tool, and the world has just entered this new era. However, strong basics originating from proven security practices are enough to significantly mitigate risk. In fact, if an organization’s IT infrastructure is too complicated to infiltrate, threat actors will move towards an easier target.



Tyler Reese has over two decades of experience in the software security industry and holds a current CISSP. His professional experience ranges from identity and access management (IAM) consulting for Fortune 500 companies to being an enterprise architect of a large direct-to-consumer company. As a product director for the IAM portfolio at Netwrix, he is responsible for evaluating market trends, supporting relations with the analyst community, setting the direction for the IAM product line — and ultimately, fulfilling the needs of end-users.
