I have yet to talk to someone who has an answer as to how to separate our personal, professional and even ‘secret’ lives… until now.

Enter Sam Lawrence, CEO of Blackbox Republic, a social networking site that allows you to decide what gets published to ‘public’ social networks that anyone can search, such as Facebook and Twitter, and then what content you want to keep within your ‘private’ persona on Blackbox Republic.

In an age of privacy concerns and risk around what we reveal about ourselves online, it seems this is a business trying to serve a genuine need.

I asked Sam about the inspiration for the business and how it’s played out so far. He gave out a free trial promo code during the show – be sure to check it out! Promo code: RADIOBBR
