In this (first) episode of the Tokenize podcast, I speak to my dear friend Richard Turrin, whom I have followed and learnt from over the years.

Richard has been an authority in Fintech, particularly within emerging markets and has seen the rise of China's cashless revolution by virtue of living and providing live coverage of the leapfrog moment. He has published two books, 'Cashless' and 'Innovation Lab Excellence'.

In this episode of Tokenize, Richard simplifies Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and the implications for the developed and developing world. We touch upon regulations, and more importantly, Richard makes an exciting announcement. Enjoy the listen!
