NFTs are changing the way we engage with and understand art, community, money and much more. On episode 7, we broke down what NFTs are and further discussed their social utility with Brendan Gillen.

E12 - Defi, Crypto & Financial Freedom With Grant Nieddu Feb 01, 2022

Show notes

DeFi or Decentralized finance is defined as an emerging financial technology based on secure distributed ledgers similar to those used by cryptocurrencies. Defi eliminates the fees that banks and other financial companies charge for using their services. With DeFi, you hold your money in a secure digital wallet instead of keeping it in a bank. On this episode, let’s talk some DeFi as it’s a growing global digital financial movement that has gotten the attention of the traditional financial institutions due to the fact that it offers bank-less and under banked communities around the world a chance to earn yield or return on the money. Today, I’m joined by Grant Nieddu who shares how DeFi and crypto play a role in his life as an entrepreneur, coach, investor and on his own financial freedom journey. Grant’s optimism about the future of DeFi and crypto is perfectly balanced with his personal and very accurate belief that at the end of the day - - markets and the larger economy are driven by human behavior and psychology. Throughout this episode, there is a bunch of new jargon and we both do our best to define things as we go. If we miss anything of interest, please google it and know that the DeFi and crypto communities are constantly creating new vocabulary for the growing space. And like with all of the previous episodes that discuss investments and personal financial opportunities, please know that this is not financial advice but rather a candid convo highlighting how people today are leveraging DeFi and crypto to create value and build wealth.

Show notes

Everyday, we’re surrounded by design. But how often do we think about those who spend hours designing our world? And beyond that, how are the creatives that design our world treated? How is their creative energy cultivated and encouraged within the the larger profit driven capitalist system? If it’s not being properly cultivated and encouraged, is there a better way? My guest today is Jesse Rademacher and he’s CEO and cofounder of Madeium - and Madeium is that better way. Madeium is a new-generation freelancer platform that brings together top design experts to build brands, products and experiences. It is also the world’s first blockchain innovation network that hopes to be the release valve for pent-up creative frustration. Jesse and his team have been building Madeium for the past three years and it was humbling to have met Jesse in this moment. The idea of design has been around a long time and it’s this history that has and will continue to inspire Madeium to create the future and not just think outside the box, but all together create a new one.

E4 - QuickPod | U.S. Regulation On Cryptocurrency - A False FUD Narrative Sep 15, 2021

Show notes

It's often cited from cryptocurrency skeptics that the U.S. government will one day come along with regulation to ban or block cryptocurrency, bitcoin and the entire space. This episode, Jarrett explores why this is a false FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) narrative and how even Ted Cruz understands the potential of the space to transform the country and ensure that the US remains an innovation leader in the world. We don't grow by running away from new ideas but rather by leaning in and with crypto, learning/knowing is half the battle.
