Since launching this three-week online small group coaching intensive, I have received lots of fantastic questions about the digital cash economy, Bitcoin, blockchain and what it all means. I've also heard the misinformation and disinformation about cryptocurrency. Spoiler alert: it ISN'T all about the dark web or criminals.If you believe cryptocurrency is too complicated, too confusing and WAY too risky, this episode and my course are for you. Because just three years ago, I thought the same way. But I’ve worked hard to make it all make sense so you don’t have to.I’ve done the heavy lifting through the jargon and fringy buzz words to demystify and clarify how to participate fully in a supportive, inclusive environment. I want to share what I’ve learned with YOU!I empower underestimated life-long learners traditionally locked out of tech and finance to take control of their financial futures and participate in the new digital cash economy safely, legally and confidently in a welcoming space so they can stay ahead of the curve and create autonomy, opportunity and generational wealth in the fast-paced, tech-driven world.Be sure to like, comment and share!Links: News Feed: https://proftonyaevans.com/news/Blockchain and Cryptocurrency, Explained (Evans) [13:18]Educating Law Professors about Blockchain (Evans)“If Blockchain is Inclusive, Where are the Black Women?” NBC LX by Ngozi Ekeledo (Nov. 22, 2019)Tonya M.

In sum,  She and her work are some kind of wonderful.There are many gems and lessons in this episode about thriving in the tech space and in life. One of the most important words of wisdom is that you can be multi-faceted or a “late bloomer” in tech and still be right on time.

Send us a textIn this episode, I speak with library-of-the-future software veteran Tony Zanders who is also founder and CEO of SkillType, a company and product Tony created to help people to increase their industry-relevant skills and credentials and also to help libraries and information professionals with job skill analysis and development. The ultimate goal is to “future-proof” the information industry and remove the unnecessary dividing line between education, upskilling and work. Skilltype is reimaginging professional development and it’s not a moment too soon. Access to information and the ability to upskill and reskill virtually is critically important. The pandemic has definitely shined a light on this reality. Employers are now returning to training their workforce.  So Tony has positioned Skilltype to leverage that need in order to empower the information professionals industry on both sides of the education vs work divide. Skilltype is in Beta right now. So catch this amazing project on the way up!

Arlan built this fund from the ground up, while experiencing homelessness. Literally. Backstage Capital addresses funding disparities in tech by investing in high-potential underestimated founders (people of color, women, and/or members of the LGBTQ community. Started from scratch, Backstage has now raised more than $7 million and invested in more than 130 startup companies led by underestimated founders. See amazing Arlan’s fireside chat with Shontavia Johnson and me during the Phoenix Rising Summit: Crisis-Proof Your Career & Monday (4/19/2020) with some never-before shared insights, experiences and encouraging words (streaming replay access for the entire event that includes this chat available for purchase at PhoenixRisingSummit.com). She also hosts the Your First Million Podcast and recently launched two long-anticipated projects. Her first book, It’s About Damn Time (business/inspiration/self-help), hits the shelves on May 5th. And she recently launched her informative and invaluable course, Raising Capital for Your Company from Scratch via Teachable. Tech Intersect listeners receive 50% off the course with the code TECHINTERSECT (now $360, $900 beginning May 5th). Some takeaways from this episode and It’s About Damn Time: Decision points matter.

He is also a co-founder and the General Counsel of Athena Blockchain, a professional services firm focused on tokenized investments.We discuss what Bitcoin and blockchain are, about other cryptocurrencies including stablecoins and government issued digital fiat, and regulations and regulators in the United States and around the world, given that public, permissionless blockchains--the rails that support the issuance of many cryptographically-secured tokens of value--are borderless. We also talk about what a "crypto lawyer" is and does.Previously nominated as one of Coindesk’s Most Influential People in Blockchain in 2017, Drew is frequently quoted and cited in articles related digital assets and blockchain technology, and regularly speaks at legal, industry, and academic conferences. Drew’s areas of expertise focus on legal and business issues related to public network cryptocurrency systems, decentralized system governance, and legal and ethical issues related to cryptocurrency systems.

Stephanie has a long and impressive history in technology and media, but she is most passionate about helping people, especially children, to become better digital citizens. We cover exactly what that means and how to utilize technology responsibly and safely. This episode is particularly relevant now that so many of us have transitioned to "work-from-home" status due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. So many people are now forced to leverage the Internet to work, play and connect.

Send us a textIn this episode of Tech Intersect™, I have a rich and engaging conversation with Kailei Carr. She’s the CEO of The Asbury Group, LLC, and she advises executive and executive-bound women on their executive image, presence and brand. Her podcast, Beyond the Business Suit, provides insider “tips of the trade” for successful women in business and beyond. She is also the Director of the Emerge Academy, a one-year program specifically designed for women of color in technology.The future of work includes the future of leadership in a Web 3.0 world. And the executive path to the C-Suite is—like every area of business—being disrupted by technology, both in terms of increased opportunities for diverse voices and representation at the C-Suite table. You must be in a constant state of evolution to ensure preparation will meet opportunity in the new economy. Kailei reminds us about the importance of developing leadership skills—especially the importance of using one’s existing expertise to participate in the new economy that is data, innovation and technology driven. And she also reminds us that self-care, especially for women and people of color, is not a luxury; self-care is essential. And that’s why her Beyond the Business Suit Retreat is so popular and well-received and restorative.We recorded this conversation before the COVID-19 pandemic gripped the entire world. She decided, out of an abundance of caution, to reschedule the retreat. She confirmed that the TECH2020 discount for $200 off of registration will still apply when the new dates are confirmed here. Time to LISTEN, LEARN and LEVERAGE™.Guest social assets:Twitter: https://twitter.com/kaileicarr and @asburygroupWeb: beyondthebusinesssuit.com/retreatTech Intersect #1: Minda Harts-Curate Your Own Career to Secure the Seat in the New EconomyFull Show Notes: https://techintersectpodcast.com/listen/**Watch the latest Ask Me Anything (AMA) Replay**Contact:Questions and requests: [email protected] Follow: Twitter @AtTechIntersect Instagram @TechIntersect Web: http://www.TechIntersectPodcast.com Subscribe for early access + the Triple L Weekly: http://eepurl.com/gKqDyP (early episode access + info)Regulate & The Rabbit Hole by Notty Prod licensed via Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License.

Her ventures include Flat Out of Heels, Lifestyle Cafe, and PopCom, a software as a service company, after identifying a need to make vending machines more intelligent.Dawn reminds us in this episode that only solutions scale.  And also that who you build with is often more important than the solution. Without the right people by your side, many a great solution will die on the vine. And finally, she reminds us to have a “me first” mentality and know your power. This “me first power” isn’t selfish but self FULL. Because empty cups don’t overflow. And empty vessels certainly can’t fill others.This is a really info-rich and high energy conversation that focuses on three areas to empower founders: knowing your purpose, your people, and your POWER.

She is passionate about the human aspects of technology and building machine learning and AI products rooted in the realities of the human experience. She is also an Emerging Tech Correspondent for Tech2025, a platform and community for learning about, and discussing emerging technologies such as AI. Tech2025, incidentally, company founded by another Tech Intersect Guest, Charlie Oliver—so listen to ep 4 to hear my conversation with Charlie about the future of technology. Anne’s current focus is on exploring what "fairness" means at a product level and how teams can integrate empathy and awareness of the impact of bias into the creative and development process. She has worked with major companies such as Microsoft, Mercedes-Benz, American Express, Comcast, and Colgate-Palmolive. So her background and expertise make her uniquely qualified for the work she does today. Anne shares her origin story, thoughts on some of the most promising technologies in the Web 3.0 build, the most pressing challenges and concerns about bias in the build of Web 3.0. We talk also talk solutions and the imperative for inclusion to ensure there are diverse people with diverse perspectives and talents at the laptop as we usher in the fourth industrial revolution. **Rate This Podcast** Guest social assets:  Twitter: https://twitter.com/annetgriffinWeb: https://www.annetgriffin.com/Email: [email protected] Mentions: Tonl: https://tonl.co/ (stock images reflecting POC)Episode 4 with Charlie Oliver of Tech 2025: https://share.transistor.fm/s/42b73883Full Show Notes: https://techintersectpodcast.com/listen/episodes-shownotes/**Watch the mental health and wealth expert Anthony Ware Ask Me Anything (AMA) Replay** Contact:Questions and requests: [email protected] Follow: Twitter @AtTechIntersect Instagram @TechIntersect Web: http://www.TechIntersectPodcast.com Subscribe to the Triple L Weekly: http://eepurl.com/gKqDyP (early episode access + info)Want early access to episodes, exclusive content including full show notes, live video chats and replays, a copy of my e-book, The Gen Xers Guide to Upskilling for a Web 3.0 World and self-guided course of the same name?

Send us a textIn this episode of Tech Intersect, I welcome Professor Christopher K. Odinet to discuss his recent work in crypto lending and consumer data that explores the potentially discriminatory impact of artificial intelligence and machine learning on fintech lending. We talk about consumer lending, inclusion and social impact as Web 3.0 technologies like AI and machine learning usher in tech companies that act more like banks engaging in more banking-like things than pure tech companies do, especially for small unsecured consumer loans. The reason? Household debt is higher today than it has ever been in history (mortgage, car, student loans). The borrowed amounts tend to be lower even though household incomes are up. FinTech lenders are providing small dollar, short term loans to make middle American ends meet. And while some define “middle class” by income and others by lifestyle, perhaps another definition involves access to credit that often leads to a lifetime of debt. A stranglehold for most people trying to live the American dream. And huge, evergreen profits for tech companies getting into the lending business for unsecured, personal consumer loans. Questions persist, about how the law should deal with the problems these newcomers experience that might be similar to the issues that banks deal with and, because it isn’t all doom and gloom, how these tech companies might be different. Tune in and tweet me @AtTechIntersect so we can listen, learn and leverage together. Chris Odinet is an associate professor of law at the University of Oklahoma College of Law and is an affiliate faculty member with the Tom E.

Send us a textIn this episode of the Tech Intersect™ Podcast, Tonya speaks with cybersecurity expert, and Digijaks founder and CEO, Alan W. Silberberg. Alan has a 25-year background in national politics and technology. He was even instrumental in analyzing the Democratic National Convention email hack that led to the Wikileaks release of 44,053 emails and 17,761 attachments from the top of the US DNC. He speaks and advises on the dangers of social media being used for propaganda and has written dozens of articles about weaponized information, which he also writes about in his book, Bots Against US: The Ongoing Information War Against the United States. This topic is especially relevant in this 2020 election cycle. It’s also a topic I speak about in the Elect Tech 2020 session at South by Southwest 2020 in Austin.  Every person, government and businesses is at risk of falling victim to a cyberattack. And, as Alan explains, security on the internet of things is completely non-existent. And then there’s the threat to our political system with coordinated political propaganda bots working to create instability in the US elections and the political system at large.

Send us a textIn this episode, I chat with entrepreneur and mental health and wealth expert, Anthony Ware. Anthony’s business, Aware Catalysts, focuses on—among other things— a program called Founder Mental Wealth, which helps underestimated and underrepresented entrepreneurs to decrease burnout and improve business outcomes. His mission is to help create a world of new generational wealth: mind, body, spirit, time, and money. Anthony shares a lot of wisdom in this episode in addition to his touching origin story and also his important evolution story from his original mindset that money = stuff = happiness to a more grounded focus on how a founder’s emotional well being drives culture and that drives long-term mental and financial wins or challenges.  Mental and emotional challenges, certainly experienced by all founders, are experienced even more acutely by those who are underrepresented and marginalized. I will drop a link in the full show notes to the report Anthony and I discussed and also provide other resources to support founders in the journey toward mental health and financial freedom.  We leave you with some lifework. Make a list, make a plan, and then execute that plan by making sure you always pay yourself FIRST.

Send us a textIn this episode, I speak with Andreas Antonopoulos, a best-selling author, speaker, educator, and one of the world’s foremost bitcoin and open blockchain experts. He is known for delivering electric talks that combine economics, psychology, technology, and game theory with current events, personal anecdote, and historical precedent effortlessly transliterating the complex issues of blockchain technology out of the abstract and into the real world. We covered at a high level, what blockchain is and, as the first application of blockchain technology, what Bitcoin is and the history of digital cash that predates Bitcoin.We also covered how crypto is regulated by the code itself and how crypto protocols are “rules without rulers”, why Bitcoin has endured for over ten years, the difference between public systems like Bitcoin and private systems like Facebook’s LibraCoin, tokenizing real world assets and the role that cryptocurrencies will have for “the other 6 billion” people in the world who do not currently benefit from the financial status quo.Finally, Andreas and I discussed a recent tweet storm in response to his “intentionally provocative” tweet inviting suggestions for diverse podcasts to appear on in the blockchain space after being dismayed by the number of  "white, American man in finance" suggestions he’d already received to an earlier inquiry. He shared his insights on race, gender, the myth of meritocracy and what he describes as the “dominance of the mediocre” in the crypto ecosystem.In the end, he accomplished his goal. To find podcasts like Tech Intersect to engage in conversation about the past, present, and hope for cryptocurrencies and open blockchains. This episode is sure to provoke lots of thought and conversation. Guest social assets: Twitter: https://twitter.com/aantonopYoutube: https://youtube.com/aantonopWebsite: https://aantonop.com/ Andreas’ Books:The Internet of Money, by Andreas Antonopoulos: https://amzn.to/2rGtoDu The Internet of Money: Volume 2, Andreas Antonopoulos: https://amzn.to/35b9vSM Full Show Notes: https://techintersectpodcast.com/listen/**Watch the latest Ask Me Anything (AMA) Replay**Contact:Questions and requests: [email protected] Follow: Twitter @AtTechIntersect Instagram @TechIntersect WRegulate & The Rabbit Hole by Notty Prod licensed via Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License.

Send us a textIn this episode, Sports Illustrated legal analyst and contributor, Professor Mike McCann, and I discuss how pro athletes like NBA star, Spencer Dinwiddie of the Brooklyn Nets, is leveraging his earning potential by issuing a cryptocurrency (PaINT) via the Ethereum Network’s blockchain to tokenize his earnings and engage fans and investors directly. We also talked about when and how scholarship-athletes might actually benefit financially from their name, image and likeness. Given trailblazers like college basketball star, Ed O’Bannon, the mega millions that schools make off the backs of the athletes who compete under their names, and the rising public support for these athletes to receive some type of economic benefit, we conclude that it’s not a matter of if but when college scholarship athletes truly and meaningfully participate in the upside of the value they generate for schools and the NCAA. As a former scholarship athlete and former professional tennis player, this topic is near and dear to my heart. Guest social assets: Twitter @McCannSportsLawCourt Justice: The Inside Story of My Battle with the NCAA, by Ed O’Bannon and Michael McCannThe Oxford Handbook of American Sports Law, by Michael McCann Full Show Notes: https://techintersectpodcast.com/listen/episodes-shownotes/**Watch the latest Ask Me Anything (AMA) Replay**Contact:Questions and requests: [email protected] Follow: Twitter @AtTechIntersect Instagram @TechIntersect Web: http://www.TechIntersectPodcast.com Subscribe to the Triple L Weekly: http://eepurl.com/gKqDyP (early episode access + info)Want early access to episodes, exclusive content including full show notes, live video chats and replays, a copy of my e-book, The Gen Xers Guide to Upskilling for a Web 3.0 World and self-guided course of the same name?
