17:26—"Fresh off the grill"

Feature segment with a new guest each podcast.

For this episode, we invited Varun Mittal—a knowledgeable resource on the latest technologies in FinTech—to discuss his stance and other aspects of blockchain, cryptocurrency and initial coin offerings (ICOs).

What is blockchain and is it secure?

Do you think that the lack of general understanding about how blockchain / cryptocurrency works as the main inhibitor to mass adoption?

Are cryptocurrencies here to stay and going to change our lives?

59:35—"Last call of the day"

Given the Trump-Kim summit sweeping the nation, our panelists were asked: If you could take either President Trump or Kim Jong-un out for lunch, who would you take, where would you go, and what would you ask him?

We have now introduced a product review at the end of each podcast. This episode, the team sampled a selection of new scents: Les Eaux de Chanel.
