Matthew Wiles recently sat down in a telephone interview with Sanitation Zone, to learn more about how they are helping empower businesses to instill public confidence in them. This interview is a BigTimeDaily exclusive.

Please tell us about yourself.

We are a group of entrepreneurs who believe, now more than ever, that it’s our shared responsibility to create a healthier world around us. 

What is SanitationZone?

SanitationZone believes that, in today’s world, what we do is now as important as what we say. Businesses, organizations and nonprofits should lead by example, empowering customers and members to make a difference, where they are.

That’s why we created SanitationZone stations: the world’s only, true all-in-one sanitizing station that allows you to offer sanitizer, wipes, disposable masks and more to customers and members, with a built-in trash box.

Who is the team behind the creation of the Sanitation Station?

Co-Founder Shaun Roberts has built and owned a number of e-commerce brands in the last several years. Shaun is a retired lawyer and politician.

Greg Swafford is a former agency owner who has strong expertise in marketing along with operational execution.

Can you tell us about what prompted the development of the Sanitation Stations?

Before COVID-19, a safe, clean and healthy environment seemed to be a bonus feature offered for many facilities. However, since COVID-19, it’s clear that going forward businesses and organizations will need to make the safety and health of its patrons a part of the brand.

We saw too many places taking a random sanitizer jug and placing it on racks, or pretty much whatever they could get their hands on, to make it work. These places would have beautifully designed physical spaces but then this eyesore of a “band-aid” fix to offer sanitizer.

We believed that a place could offer these newly needed sanitizing options to customers without sacrificing their brand. So we created SanitationZone to help.

The Sanitation Station’s response to the pandemic was quick. During the evolution of the product, did you face any challenges due to time constraints?

We believe that you move fast, and if there is collateral, fix it later. Every business must constantly adapt to ensure it meets the needs of its customers. SanitationZone is no different. 

One of the challenges we face is the constant battle between small retail and large entities (i.e. colleges) wanting SanitationZone but having different needs. A small retailer may only use a limited number of wipes but a college may need wipes by the gallons.

These two situations require totally different structures to SanitationZone. Accommodating both ends of the spectrum can be challenging, but we are committed to making it work for anyone.

What different options are available for your Sanitation Stations? How can customers customize their individual Stations?

On the website, we offer a few color variations and offer a branded logo for free.

With larger volume orders, we can customize more parts of SanitationZone to fit the organization’s needs.

What features of Sanitation Zone make it the top choice in comparison to other competitors in the industry?

We are the only true all-in-one sanitation station on the market. Our stations allow you to offer sanitizer, wipes, disposable masks and other PPE equipment, all with a built-in trash box.

What industries do you think will benefit the most from the Sanitation Zone Sanitation Stations? Who are your customers?

Anyone who has decision-making authority over a physical space and wants to ensure that space has a consistent brand message, including how they present and offer sanitizer and wipes.

Our customers vary from small businesses, facilities operations, colleges, churches, manufacturing plants, schools and more!

Your Sanitation Stations recently launched, can you tell us about the success you are seeing in the early stages, so far?

Our experience and expertise in terms of marketing is digital. We are able to launch and move very quickly in this space due to our exceptional marketing capabilities.

Rather than rely on traditional marketing, like this industry typically does, we are able to use cutting edge methods in unique ways to penetrate the market. Consequently, we’ve sold hundreds of units strictly using this digital marketing approach.

When we add our sales team and other traditional methods, we expect the growth to continue upwards in larger waves.

How is the Sanitation Zone helping empower people as they begin to return to life as “normal?”

We want to empower businesses and organizations to instill confidence in the public to return to a life they once knew. By having the right tools, such as SanitationZone stations, with all its capabilities, people can feel more comfortable and confident visiting places knowing businesses care about their health and are taking steps to protect it.

Are there any future expansion plans for the Sanitation Zone you would like to share with us?

Absolutely! We are looking to expand to some new fun and exciting avenues. More on this later!  As always, we will be able to penetrate them quickly with our digital marketing expertise in this domain.

Is there anything else you would like our readers to know?

Life has certainly changed, whether or not we wanted it to happen, or how we feel about it. Life is not about what happens to you, but how you respond. If you are trying to figure out how to best respond to this new normal, as long as you have the goal in mind of making people feel comfortable and confident to restore a life they once knew, you are doing your part to helping continue to build a better place around you.

Click for Counsel: YesLawyer Wants to Make Lawyers as Accessible as Wi-Fi

For many people facing a legal problem, the most difficult part is not understanding their rights but finding a lawyer willing to speak with them in the first place. Long wait times, unclear pricing, and administrative hurdles often delay even the most basic consultations. YesLawyer, an AI-enabled plaintiff firm operating across all 50 states, is testing whether technology can shorten that gap.

Founded in 2024 by 25-year-old entrepreneur Rob Epstein, the platform offers free intake, automated screening, and, in many cases, same-day conversations with licensed attorneys. The idea is simple: reduce the friction between a client’s first request for help and an actual legal discussion. In this interview, Epstein explains how the system works, where artificial intelligence fits into the process, and what problems the company is trying to address in the broader legal system

Q: When you say you want lawyers to be “as accessible as Wi-Fi,” what does that mean in practical terms?

A: It’s a way of describing speed and availability. Someone dealing with a workplace dispute, a serious injury, or an immigration issue should be able to move from an online form or phone call to a real conversation with counsel in hours, not weeks. YesLawyer is structured so that a client begins with a free case evaluation, goes through automated conflict checks and basic screening, and, in many instances, speaks with a lawyer the same day.

Q: How does the process work once someone contacts the platform?

A: We use a structured workflow. It starts with a short questionnaire and an initial conversation to capture basic facts. That information feeds into conflict checks and internal review. The system then proposes a match with a licensed attorney and provides a calendar link for a virtual consultation, often within 24 hours. After the meeting, the client receives a written legal plan outlining next steps, deadlines, and estimated fees.

Q: Where does artificial intelligence fit into that process, and where does it stop?

A: AI is used for organizing and routing information, not for giving legal advice. It helps with conflict checks at scale, case categorization, and structured summaries so attorneys can focus on the substance of the matter. Every consultation is conducted by a licensed lawyer, and all decisions about strategy or next steps are made by humans.

Q: What problem is this model trying to solve in the current legal system?

A: Delay and cost are still major barriers. Many civil plaintiffs face long waits just to get a first appointment, along with high retainers and hourly billing that make early legal advice risky. We try to respond with faster consultations, flat-fee options, and financing. The idea is to remove administrative friction so lawyers spend less time on logistics and more time speaking with clients.

Q: Some critics say platforms like this blur the line between a technology company and a law firm. How do you describe YesLawyer?

A: We describe ourselves as a national, AI-enabled plaintiff firm that connects clients with independent attorneys. That structure does raise regulatory questions, especially around responsibility and oversight. We focus on licensing verification, attorney-written case plans, and clear communication about fees and services.

Q: You’ve said the main bottleneck is “systems” rather than people. What do you mean by that?

A: The issue isn’t that lawyers don’t want to help more people. It’s that the systems around them make it hard to scale their time. Intake, scheduling, and document handling take hours. Automating those parts means attorneys can handle more matters without being overwhelmed by repetitive tasks.

Q: Does this model risk favoring only the most profitable cases?

A: That’s a real concern in legal technology. Automation often works best for repeatable, high-volume disputes. Our view is that lowering administrative cost can actually make it easier to take on smaller or more complex cases that might otherwise be turned away. Whether that holds over time depends on the data.

Measuring Impact Over Time

YesLawyer’s attempt to compress the timeline between inquiry and consultation reflects broader changes in how legal services are being delivered. As artificial intelligence becomes more common in administrative work, firms are experimenting with new ways to reduce wait times and clarify costs.

The company’s early growth suggests that many clients value faster access to an initial conversation, even before considering long-term representation. Whether this platform-based model becomes widely adopted or remains one of several emerging approaches will depend on regulatory developments, lawyer participation, and measurable outcomes for clients. For now, YesLawyer’s experiment highlights a central question in modern legal practice: how quickly can help realistically be made available to the people who need it.
