Today I was lucky enough to speak with Michael Terpin, a serial cryptocurrency entrepreneur and technology startup extraordinaire. With a background in PR and a robust track record as founder of multiple million dollar companies, Michael is no stranger to big business. He has continually redefined himself over the past two decades by strategically placing his businesses and his investments to take advantage of the internet boom and forever evolving tech industry.

In this episode Michael reveals some fascinating insights into the future of cryptocurrencies - a multi billion dollar industry which is rapidly expanding across the globe. As co-founder of Bit Angels, a company geared towards bitcoin investors, Michael has quickly risen to prominence within the industry.

If you've ever wondered about cryptocurrencies and how they apply to the world not only today but well into the future, then this episode is a must listen!

In this episode you’ll discover:

7:30: The number ONE mistake that Michael sees most cryptocurrency startups make.

10:40: The different kinds of cryptocurrencies and what's hot right now.

15:24: Where Michael invests his money

18:45: Michael's top criteria for investing in cryptocurrencies.

Key Takeaways:

"These days it only makes sense to use digital currencies. A penny in the United States costs two pennies to make. It’s possible that 20 years from now we won’t ever need to walk into banks to make transactions and file checks; just like before mobile phones  - you had to physically be at home to answer your phone – times are changing we are well and truly in the digital age."

"Cryptocurrencies are great because they allow users to track their spending and allow digital marketplaces to be fully accountable. This is a huge reason why nations with unstable economies, especially those that rely on other currencies (ie. the US dollar), are looking to make their financials more transparent."

In today’s episode I speak with Tyler Basu, author of the No.1 Bestselling book “The Lifestyle Business Blueprint”.

As a young teen growing up in one of the poorest postal codes in all of Canada, Tyler reveals exactly how he managed to turn his life around and set his course toward financial freedom.

Funnily enough, Tyler didn’t start out so successful right away. After high school he enrolled in a degree in Business Management but after only two semesters, he dropped out. Tyler was driven and knew that if he wanted to succeed in business then he would have to actually go and get his hands dirty.

Since that day forward Tyler has dedicated his life toward mastering the art of lifestyle entrepreneurship. He spent the next few years building relationships, learning sales in real estate and accumulating the skills that he believed would enable him to become a successful entrepreneur.

In 2011, after starting his own blog and podcast, Chatting with Champions, Tyler has catapulted his brand and business into a full-time living, giving him the freedom to live his lifestyle goals.

Tyler now publishes his very own digital magazine and podcast, Lifestyle Business Magazine which you can learn more about in the podcast.
