00:00Now that it's a new year, out with the old, in with the new.
00:08That's why Gen Z businessmen Nero and Sophia thought of a high-tech business.
00:14The business of calling cards.
00:16There's nothing to throw away.
00:18Just one tap on the cell phone and the contact information will appear.
00:22There's no need for a lot of paper.
00:23All you need is one card.
00:25Presenting Digital Business Card.
00:31Digital Business Card
00:37Ma'am, I messaged you but you didn't receive anything.
00:41No?
00:41Hello!
00:42I'll give you my number.
00:43How?
00:43Here, here, here.
00:44What is this?
00:44It's all here, my number.
00:46Oh, it's not here.
00:47It's a new number.
00:48So fancy!
00:50Hey!
00:51Ma'am.
00:52What's wrong?
00:53I'm having a problem with my business.
00:55I feel like I don't have enough knowledge when it comes to business.
00:58Hold on.
00:59Here, here, here.
01:00Let's tap.
01:03Oh, there.
01:03Watch this.
01:04You'll see how it's done with the money.
01:07You'll see it there.
01:08See?
01:09What's this card that I'm flexing?
01:11Are you curious?
01:15My order of calling cards from Nero has arrived.
01:21There it is.
01:23There, that's great!
01:24You just tap it like that.
01:26Here's your contact number.
01:28If you have email address,
01:31your social media accounts,
01:33you can also put it here.
01:35You can include it here.
01:37On this card,
01:38you can literally introduce yourself.
01:41Jensen, Nero, and Sophia have already introduced themselves.
01:44They started this business in 2022,
01:48at the age of 21 and 19.
01:50Now, they're earning millions.
01:53I hope all of them.
01:54Our first year was okay.
01:56So, we were arranging six digits per month.
01:59By the end of our second year,
02:01we were able to hit the mid to high seven figures already.
02:06Nero was just a kid when he started his business.
02:10Our parents were already entrepreneurs.
02:12They always told us that we should start a business.
02:16So, when I was 16,
02:18that's when I started trying to buy and sell.
02:20From buying and selling cellphones,
02:22Nero started other businesses.
02:25On the other hand,
02:26Sophia is a third-year dentistry student.
02:29I grew up in a family full of doctors and lawyers.
02:33So, of course, growing up,
02:34I also thought that the way to success is to study medicine or to become a lawyer.
02:39But Sophia's perspective changed
02:41when she met Nero, a business-minded person.
02:44Using the 50,000 pesos she earned,
02:47they started a business called Digital Business Cards.
02:50It would be the very first venture that I would ever do.
02:53So, the first time, I was scared.
02:55We were selling out 25,000 pesos back then, each comment.
02:59I was younger back then.
03:00I think I was probably 18 or 19.
03:03If you're wondering why this business came to mind,
03:05Nero's wake-up call was a turning point.
03:08I was in a conference,
03:10and I gave a calling card.
03:12When I came out of the room,
03:13I saw it in a trash can.
03:15So, I said,
03:16we really have to make something better than the paper business cards.
03:21On a trip to Singapore,
03:23Nero discovered the Digital Business Cards.
03:26But compared to its price back then,
03:28they came up with a way to make it more affordable.
03:31A Digital Business Card can be bought for 999 pesos to 2,998 pesos,
03:38depending on its design and type.
03:41You can customize the card to your liking.
03:44There are also mini or buttons
03:47that you can put on the back of your cell phone for 799 pesos.
03:51And booptags that you can put on pets for 399 pesos.
03:58So, it looks like Rocky.
04:00So, if your pet is missing,
04:02and you see this,
04:03the number of the pet owner is written here,
04:06you can call them.
04:07In just 2 years,
04:09Nero and Sofia's business has come a long way.
04:13At first, we were just at home,
04:14in the home office.
04:15There was a point where we were just working in a coffee shop.
04:19And then, right now,
04:20of course, as the team is growing,
04:22we want to foster the company culture
04:24that all of us will grow together.
04:26And that's why we got the office here in Pasig.
04:31Before, they were just 2,
04:33now they are almost 15 years old.
04:35With the help of the business,
04:37Nero was able to build a house.
04:40Now, we have a lot of ways to tap and save cards.
04:44We have 2 options to set up.
04:46First option is,
04:47we will tap,
04:48a notification will appear,
04:50just click it.
04:51Or, alternatively,
04:53we can also scan the QR code on the back.
04:56Just use your phone camera,
04:58scan it,
04:59then open the app.
05:00What you will see is this page
05:02wherein you can put all your details.
05:06For the digital business card to work,
05:08technology called NFC or Near Field Communication is used.
05:13An NFC card is similar to an RFID card
05:16that you use in the hallways.
05:18The only difference is,
05:20it uses Near Field Technology,
05:22which is what NFC means.
05:24So for example,
05:25if you have a phone
05:27and then you have an NFC card,
05:29when you connect it on the phone,
05:31since it's near distance,
05:33your phone will read the information
05:36that's inside of it.
05:38If the NFC program is not right,
05:43there can be a security breach.
05:46Your data can be stolen,
05:48your personally identifiable information can be read,
05:52such as credit cards.
05:54If it's near the Near Field Communication reader or NFC reader,
05:58you can read its details.
06:00For the calling card,
06:01I don't see any danger
06:03because usually what you put in your calling card
06:07is what you want other people to know.
06:10Remember, Art is an IT practitioner.
06:13Be careful with the cards you tap on your cell phone.
06:16If your link is malicious
06:18or made by bad people,
06:21you can tap
06:24and then you'll go to the link
06:26where you can download malicious code.
06:30So that's the danger here.
06:31So let's be careful with tapping,
06:34especially with people we don't know
06:35because it can point you to malicious links.
06:41My advice for everyone is
06:43it's better to regret something later on
06:47than to regret not doing the thing that you really wanted.
06:51What I learned from Tap and Save
06:53is making sure that the goals that you set for the year
06:57are way beyond what you actually can.
06:59You should always try to reach for the heavens
07:02so that even if you fall,
07:04at least you reach the stars.
