Financial freedom means many things to many different people. But the way I see it, financial freedom means no longer needing to trade your time for money, financial security, and even being your own bank. And the road to that freedom starts with financial literacy, knowing your risk tolerance, and empowering yourself with tools and resources. Join me as I talk with Anne T. Griffin about all that and more. This week, episode 160 of the Tech Intersect™ Podcast is about finding financial freedom in the new digital economy!

The tech industry is fast-paced and constantly changing. One of the emerging changes is that tech companies are looking to hire a more diverse set of talent. But in a world where training and educational opportunities are still limited for people of color, how do we make these opportunities more accessible? Today, Kasheef Wyzard is here to tell us about Dream.org and its mission to connect people of color with opportunities in the tech field. This week, episode 159 of the Tech Intersect™ Podcast is about making tech opportunities accessible to people of color!

Kasheef Wyzard is the National Director of Dream.Org. As a first-generation American born to parents of Caribbean descent, Kasheef attributes the alignment of his career and purpose to interventions and exposure to educational resources far outside of the community that raised him. With such a dichotomy between the two worlds he grew to know, an unshakeable commitment to be on the frontline of change was born. 

Some of the talking points Kasheef and I go over in this episode include:

• How access is linked to opportunities in tech.
• Kasheef’s work with Fortune 500 companies to diversify their talent base.
• Getting into opportunities while the tides are low versus when the tides are rising.
• How Dream.org prepares people to rescale, upskill, and pivot their careers.

Hester Peirce is the Commissioner for the SEC, holding the office since January 2018. Prior to joining the SEC, Commissioner Peirce conducted research on the regulation of financial markets at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. She was a Senior Counsel on the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, where she advised Ranking Member Richard Shelby and other members of the Committee on securities issues.

Some of the talking points Commissioner Peirce and I go over in this episode include:

• The SEC is only one of the entities that have an impact on the crypto space.
• The importance of regulating to allow this new technology to take hold in other parts of our lives.
• The crypto space is not asking for no rules, they’re asking to KNOW the rules.
• Regulators need to have public discussions and not make all their decisions behind closed doors.

On March 9, 2023, I met Paul Grewal, the Chief Legal Officer of Coinbase, while giving testimony before the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Digital Assets, Financial Technology and Inclusion. When the news came out that Coinbase received a Wells Notice from the SEC, I knew I had to sit down with Paul to get a better understanding of the situation.

This week, episode 151 of the Tech Intersect™ Podcast is about the Coinbase Wells notice and SEC regulations around crypto (or lack thereof).
