Kudos, Questions, Comments? Send it here.
In this episode of Tech Intersect, I invited Mark Wetjen, head of policy and regulatory strategy at FTX, a cryptocurrency exchange, on to discuss the recent bipartisan legislative initiatives that seek to clarify the crypto asset regulatory environment and also about a really exciting crypto education initiative recently launched by FTX, #GetToKnowCrypto, and about how platforms like FTX can play an important role in ensuring the future of work, wealth and creativity are accessible and inclusive for all.
There are a LOT of scammers out there on social media impersonating me. I will never slide into your DMs to solicit your time or your money. I created a FREE masterclass about the topic, at SecureYourCryptoBag.com

With thousands of different types of crypto, crypto is a fast-paced, fast moving emerging asset class. Find out what banks, governments, and companies like Paypal don’t want you to know about owning crypto and holding it in your own wallet or self-guided crypto IRA. Bottom line? It’s a wave. And you deserve this opportunity to ride it all the way to financial freedom that leads to economic empowerment and generational wealth.
LEARN safely, legally and confidently while you EARN so you CAN:
- transform your relationship with money
- generate wealth in the new digital cash economy
- create digital ownership streams that lead to generational wealth
- vet, buy, store, trade, earn, and sell cryptocurrencies
- engage in “defi” to lend and leverage your crypto
- create, buy and trade creative and collectible NFTs

Tech Intersect #133: SPOTLIGHT 114-Maxwell Frost-Congress, Crypto and the Future of Economic Justice
Kudos, Questions, Comments? Send it here.
In honor of Representative-Elect Maxwell Frost's epic win to represent Florida's 10th congressional district as the FIRST Generation Z candidate to head to Congress, I've selected my May 10, 2022 conversation with him about Congress, crypto and the future of economic justice to spotlight for this week's episode. Gun violence prevention was a core tenet of Frost's campaign platform, as well as supporting social, environmental and economic justice policies like Medicare for all and a Green New Deal. And as a member of Maxwell's Blockchain Advisory Council, I enjoyed exploring some of the most important questions and opportunities in the future of wealth for systemically marginalized folks, and making the case for bitcoin and DeFI as progressive agenda items.

Tech Intersect #135: The FTX Collapse, Congressional Hearings and Where We Go From Here
Kudos, Questions, Comments? Send it here.
In this special episode of the Tech Intersect Podcast I share my initial thoughts on a week that will go down in crypto history regarding the FTX centralized crypto exchange and its (currently behind Bahamian bars) disgraced founder Sam Bankman-Fried. It’s been all over the news and social and I have received so many questions about it that I needed to hop on here with some feedback in preparation for my full recap and my year-end "state of crypto” episode this coming Friday, December 16th. So be sure you’ve subscribed on your favorite podcast app or platform or at techintersect.buzzsprout.com.
SAFETY DISCLAIMER: There are a LOT of scammers out there on social media impersonating me and other crypto educators and trailblazers and I need your help. Now hear this. I will never slide into your DMs to say “peace and blessings” or hey. And I will never reach out to solicit your time or your money. Like. EVER. So be careful and make good choices! FYI, I developed an entire FREE masterclass about the topic, so check out SecureYourCryptoBag.com for more information.
