On Mondays we like to talk big ideas. Here’s one that comes in a small package. A little round data collection device called Trace. Trace is made a company called Active Replay, and it’s designed to give rich information to people who play action sports. Trace sticks on your surfboard, skateboard, or snowboard, and it can tell a lot about what an athlete does. David Lokshin is co-founder of Active Replay. He says Trace is a way to get big data from the the big waves, jumps, and snowdrifts.

There’s a lot happening in the world.  Through it all, Marketplace is here for you. 

You rely on Marketplace to break down the world’s events and tell you how it affects you in a fact-based, approachable way. We rely on your financial support to keep making that possible.
