Speaking Out - Tantra Talks Jun 12, 2020

Show notes

Episode 27 - In the wake of the protests following the murder of George Floyd (and of course many others), we felt as a company, that we could not remain silent.

Inspired by our CTO’s recent Medium article, this episode of Tantra Talks is a wide ranging conversation between our CTO, Russell LaCour, Creative Director, Brekkie von Bitcoin, and our Podcast Editor, Savannah Van.

The episode needs no real introduction and speaks for itself. Please listen with an open mind and an open heart, and if you are on the fence about speaking out and acknowledging the changes occurring in the world today, we hope this episode will help you on your journey. Please see below for some of the important links mentioned during the show.
