David Friend, Chairman and CEO of Carbonite, joins us to talk about the importance of backing up your data, how easy and affordable it is, and why more people don't take the time to properly back up their data.

Social media is playing a bigger role in our lives from staying connected with family and friends to conducting business. It's also playing an increasing role in travel. Ron Callari, Vice President of Business Development for Flip.to, joins us to explain how social media is changing the way people travel. In the past people would rely on a guidebook or online review to find the best places to stay or eat. However, it was hard to tell if the reviews were written by the owner themselves or if a business had to pay to be featured. Now with social media, people are able to get honest reviews from actual travellers. Ron shares his favorite travel apps and websites, shows us how to find the best travel deals and incentives, and discusses the future of travel. To learn more, visit www.flip.to.
