not to mention how Obvious it is! 
Definite reinvention of the "wheel," but adaptive to notary scheduling needs. I'm all in for "combating Corporate Giants," including SD - and Totally agree (have always thought so) that competing with the scheduling giants is about making it EASIER for hiring parties to find us. I recently reached out to Mr. Q, a programmer professional on here (who, by the way gets spanked when he moonlights his side business to notaries here, as he should) to help me with an interactive regional directory For the Purpose of Competing. I've been using Square platform but since it's $$ fee-generated, the appointment couldn't be made without making it look as if a payment was due up front. I also didn't find it easy to customize. I've tried one or two others.
Convenience and Technology are what is driving all these reforms. I guess the question is, Who really benefits?
I bet if NR had a programmer add a tiny little phone icon or a Booking Request next to notary profiles this could be a Game Changer. But I believe they're competing on the basis of (intra) Communication. Information. That's good, too!
Tons of tech software out there to sift through, and it seems OP has partnered with Accuity to customize scheduling for notary use. Yes, innovative and helpful. Yet, agree with Marilyn & LD 100% in relation to its promotion HERE. Politics can lead sighted folk into the Blind Zone.
Btw, liked the interview but wondered at whole new can of worms . . . and I was hoping those annoying clicks weren't made by the pen.
P.S. What is relationship between RON's opposer to the notary Coach guy?? If there is NO benefit to OP, then maybe room to rethink my view of possible conflict of interest.
