Afternoon Session · 3:12

0:00 Where a grandparent can have a grandchild call them and say, hey, I made a mistake

0:05 and I've run into somebody and I need some money. And then an attorney gets on and

0:10 says, we're actually going to need you to send us over here. It's a $10 billion

0:13 industry a year in fraud, which is in addition to what we saw earlier, which

0:18 that happened 10 years ago. It's like what's happened since this Cindy's son had

0:24 actually taken her life. These are some of the things that actually can can do it in

0:27 real time. And so when a grandparent actually imagine a future where a

0:32 grandparent doesn't need to use username and passwords. They just grab their phone,

0:36 push on an apps, log in, and they can actually see all of their assets, all of

0:40 their ability to pay things, all of the things that they own, all the contacts.

0:45 And it's actually managed by someone that's given guardianship rights from an

0:49 organization like a state to be able to help manage that grandparent. Maybe it's

0:54 accounts. Maybe it's paying bills. Maybe it's paying different vendors. Maybe it's

0:59 different assets and how to pass them from one generation to another. Maybe it's

1:03 currencies. Maybe it's the ability to actually manage context, not just for your

1:07 child, but also for grandparents. There's a lot of confusion when people get into

1:11 that environment. And then the ability to actually take these types of things and

1:15 actually drop from one environment to another to actually make it easy for them

1:20 to pay. So if you wanted to pay a utility bill or you wanted to pay a grandchild,

1:24 it's all integrated and simple. So that's a good example of a grandparent type

1:29 guardianship reality with a simple app that you can pull down, log in today and

1:34 actually start using these types of things. It also works with children. So

1:38 the ability for children to be able to be managed from what apps are they using to

1:43 what sites are they going to. There's a lot of functionality and opportunities

1:48 there. So I just want to say thank you for those specifically Sam Smith, Phil

1:53 Windley. These are people that have dedicated their lives to solving this

1:56 problem. Tim, I mean, this is real. This is a nucleus here in Utah that we can

2:02 actually make a real difference. But ultimately, it's actually all of you that

2:06 have said, this is a problem that I want to learn about and a problem that I want

2:09 to be able to be a part of the solution in the future. So thank you for coming and

2:13 thank you for actually understanding what's happening here in Utah. But it's

2:17 really the world. It's a problem that society has, a responsibility in our

2:22 generation. Like when all of us were born, we didn't have the cell phones. We didn't

2:27 have the internet. And when we pass on, we've got to pass on a better legacy than

2:30 what's currently there. So thank you for Chris and all the hard work that he does

2:36 to put this together and those at the state that truly are aligning with this

2:40 effort. Because I know it's not easy to put these parts and pieces together. When

2:43 we went and searched the world, we could not find a body like this. We went to the

2:48 government in the DC. We went here. We went in. It's just amazing to see the

2:53 heart, the alignment to support someone like Cindy who 10 years ago lost a son.

2:59 That's real. In this university. That young man went to this university 10 years

3:05 ago. And here we are. So thank you for being here and understanding some of these

3:11 concepts.
