In this episode, I speak with Andreas Antonopoulos, a best-selling author, speaker, educator, and one of the world’s foremost bitcoin and open blockchain experts. He is known for delivering electric talks that combine economics, psychology, technology, and game theory with current events, personal anecdote, and historical precedent effortlessly transliterating the complex issues of blockchain technology out of the abstract and into the real world. 

We covered at a high level, what blockchain is and, as the first application of blockchain technology, what Bitcoin is and the history of digital cash that predates Bitcoin.

We also covered how crypto is regulated by the code itself and how crypto protocols are “rules without rulers”, why Bitcoin has endured for over ten years, the difference between public systems like Bitcoin and private systems like Facebook’s LibraCoin, tokenizing real world assets and the role that cryptocurrencies will have for “the other 6 billion” people in the world who do not currently benefit from the financial status quo.

Finally, Andreas and I discussed a recent tweet storm in response to his “intentionally provocative” tweet inviting suggestions for diverse podcasts to appear on in the blockchain space after being dismayed by the number of  "white, American man in finance" suggestions he’d already received to an earlier inquiry. He shared his insights on race, gender, the myth of meritocracy and what he describes as the “dominance of the mediocre” in the crypto ecosystem.

In the end, he accomplished his goal. To find podcasts like Tech Intersect to engage in conversation about the past, present, and hope for cryptocurrencies and open blockchains. This episode is sure to provoke lots of thought and conversation.

In this episode, Sports Illustrated legal analyst and contributor, Professor Mike McCann, and I discuss how pro athletes like NBA star, Spencer Dinwiddie of the Brooklyn Nets, is leveraging his earning potential by issuing a cryptocurrency (PaINT) via the Ethereum Network’s blockchain to tokenize his earnings and engage fans and investors directly. We also talked about when and how scholarship-athletes might actually benefit financially from their name, image and likeness. Given trailblazers like college basketball star, Ed O’Bannon, the mega millions that schools make off the backs of the athletes who compete under their names, and the rising public support for these athletes to receive some type of economic benefit, we conclude that it’s not a matter of if but when college scholarship athletes truly and meaningfully participate in the upside of the value they generate for schools and the NCAA. As a former scholarship athlete and former professional tennis player, this topic is near and dear to my heart. Guest social assets: Twitter @McCannSportsLaw

In this episode, I interview Minda Harts, author of the best-selling book The Memo: What Women of Color Need to Know to Secure a Seat at the Table, renowned speaker, entrepreneur, leader, and all-around amazing human. Minda and I covered a lot of ground in this interview. I felt like we were sitting around a kitchen table brainstorming about the exciting future of work and leadership for women, especially women of color. Before The Memo was a book, it began as her career development platform for women of color, of the same name. In this episode, she explains why she created the company and what in her own career development as a woman of color inspired her to do so. She offers strategies to prepare a professional foundation that helps you achieve true agency and professional freedom and we both reflect on what to leave behind personally and professionally as we prepare to enter new possibilities and opportunities in a Web 3.0 data-driven world. Listen. Learn. Leverage! My poem-turned-song, Find Your Own Shine, closed out this episode. I wrote and published it in my book, Seasons of Her, and it also appeared in the CD/Book, SHINE. I performed it around the country, in venues big and small.
