In today’s episode, I sit down with Tanner Haas, a four-time founder and CEO of Freedom Chat, to talk about taking back control of our digital lives. Tanner shares why he created a private messaging app designed to eliminate screenshots, block data collection, and protect users from themselves in moments of bad judgment. We explore the false sense of privacy big tech companies sell and how Freedom Chat’s approach flips that model by refusing to store user data or monetize personal information. Tanner also opens up about the challenges of going against industry giants and the lessons he’s learned building a company on true privacy.
