Brian Asingia  is the CEO and co- founder of the Dream Galaxy platform, an innovation studio that trains, advises, and funds ethical entrepreneurial leaders to launch, grow, and scale content, programs, and businesses.

Today's conversation covers a diverse range of topics that focus on and relate to what Asingia calls the Cashless Society, which in its broadest sense reframes how we as individuals and communities allocate invest and exchange value. Cashless Society is both an ethical philosophy and a technocratic ideal. This concept is already transforming transactional relationships within countries and communities around the world.

Asingia's forthcoming book, Cashless Society 101, will be published in March 2022. In his book, Asingia captures the essence of how humanity-first design and innovation can leverage technology in delivering meaningful solutions for the 21st century and beyond. By putting ethics and values first, automation, data privacy, cyber-security and other concerns of the future of work, education, health and finance can be approached in a sustainable way.
