Meat & Potatoes Podcast Silicon Slopes

Join Garrett Clark as he sits down with David Sinclair, CEO and Co-founder of 4Freedom Mobile. In this conversation, they discuss the founding story of 4Freedom Mobile, how large corporations and governments collect and use personal data, and why privacy protection should be on everyone’s minds.
Before founding 4Freedom, David worked internationally, helping corporations and government agencies collect personal data. Upon returning to the States, David realized the tools he used overseas were being used nationally. Seeing this national problem, David bootstrapped, designed, and developed 4Freedom Mobile, a secure mobile service platform, that provides secure, unlimited talk and text while preventing corporations and government agencies from tracking location, identity, communication, internet activity, payments, and more. Today, 4Freedom Mobile has generated thousands of subscribers and has sold hundreds of phones.
