My guest today is my friend Shawn Owen, CEO of Equa. Equa is the leading one-stop-shop software solution for frictionless organization, integrated in a company's current workflow. From seed to fruition, Equa helps businesses form, raise, and grow by minimizing the chaos and pains of being an entrepreneur and business owner. Before founding Equa, Shawn has been heavily involved in the Crypto space. He is widely known for being an early Bitcoin advocate and pioneer in the crypto-backed lending space, which was deployed in 2017 as the company SALT launched the first Bitcoin-backed loan products. Shawn is a proven business founder with two decades of experience in leadership and enterprise operations, focused on innovation, product delivery, and consumer satisfaction. In our conversation, we discuss the evolution of the crypto community, Shawn's journey in the crypto space, Proof-of-Brain, what is true decentralization, DAOs, new ways of building trust and much more.
