Vinny Lingham is a prolific entrepreneur who has built businesses spanning the globe and across various verticals including website builders, a gift card company and a decentralised identity verification platform on the blockchain.

He is also an active investor, shark on shark tank South Africa, a dragon on Dragon's Den South Africa and an author.

Vinny and I sit down to discuss his business Gyft which was dreamed up, built and sold in less than three years for more than $50m.

We talk about Gyft paying $50 fees on $5 transactions and how introducing bitcoin payments pulled the company out from the depths of despair. Hold on to your headphones because this is a fast-paced episode!
