What if the future of work is not just about humans collaborating with machines, but about creating entire organizations that operate through AI agents? In this episode of the Talking AI podcast, host Matt Paige unpacks this concept with Alan Wunsche, Managing Partner at Agentware AI and an expert in organizational change and emerging technologies. Together, they discuss the rise of "agentic organizations," where AI agents are not merely tools but integral members of the workforce, executing tasks autonomously and enhancing productivity.Alan draws parallels between the current AI revolution and historical technological advancements, such as the printing press. He explains how organizations are beginning to give AI agents more agency, allowing them to take on responsibilities and make decisions that were once the domain of human workers.

Education is critical for ensuring your financial fitness and creating a future of financial freedom. Beyond seeking advice and listening to other people’s stories on the strategies they use to make investment decisions, one of the best strategies to understand new concepts and ideas is to experiment and try new things yourself.   On today’s episode, I share how my discussion with Alan Wunsche on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies inspired me to learn more about digital wallets and how to use them to complete various transactions. I share the research I have conducted on the different types of digital wallets, the level of security you can expect from each type, and the lessons I have learned about cryptocurrencies and digital transactions after setting up my first digital wallet. I also explain why many financial institutions prohibit using your debit or credit card to acquire cryptocurrency and how to choose the best digital wallet to meet your personal financial needs.   “Since early 2018 Canadian banks have made changes, that vary by institution, about how clients can use credit or debit cards as it pertains to cryptocurrencies.” - Tracey Bissett   This Week on Young Money:   The types of digital wallets. The pros and cons of using electronic wallets and software wallets. The difference between a “hot wallet” and a “cold wallet” and why I chose to use a hot wallet to learn more about digital wallets and cryptocurrencies. Security measures you can expect when setting up various digital wallets. Why some financial institutions prohibit the use of debit or credit cards to acquire cryptocurrencies. The importance of researching cryptocurrencies and exchanges before investing. The importance of continuing your education about cryptocurrencies and digital wallets.   Top 5 Lessons on Digital Wallets & Cryptocurrencies:   Before you set up a digital wallet, make sure it is compatible with your country and/or currency of accounts. Be prepared to provide confirmation of your identity - similar to setting up a bank account. Before entering into cryptocurrency transactions, know how you will pay for them - find out what is possible in your country and at your financial institution. Research cryptocurrencies and exchanges prior to making transactions, so you understand the risks of this type of investment. Be curious and continue to educate yourself. The cryptocurrency market is evolving daily.   Resources Mentioned:   Episode 039 - Bitcoin and Other Cryptocurrencies Demystified with Alan Wunsche BRD Coinbase Rate, Share & Inspire Other Young Millionaires-in-the-Making   Thanks for tuning into the Young Money Podcast - the advice show for young millionaires-in-the-making!

He also shares examples of simple and complex transactions using cryptocurrencies and debunks some of the most common myths and misconceptions regarding bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.     “Cryptocurrencies allow us to represent anything of value.” -  Alan Wunsche     This Week on Young Money:   How Alan's experience led him to work with cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. The origins of Bitcoin and how it started using blockchain technology. Why is it called "blockchain"? Key terms related to cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. How Bitcoin works, how is it valued, and its real-world applications. What mining for crypto means. What Ethereum is, where and how it started and how it differs from bitcoin. What TokenFunder serves to provide. What people should learn about cryptocurrencies and the best way to learn. Common misconceptions about cryptocurrencies. Resources to continue learning about blockchain and cryptocurrencies.   Key Takeaways:   Cryptocurrency network is simply a peer to peer version of online cash. Blockchain technology is essentially about decentralization. No financial institutions are involved in a bitcoin transaction. If both parties can agree, one token can be worth half a house or even half a business. To accelerate your learning, get a digital wallet and purchase a unit of cryptocurrency so you can understand how a transaction works and learn firsthand. A digital wallet does NOT hold the cryptocurrency, it simply reflects the balance from the public blockchain ledger.

Amidst the unregulated ICO craze that began about a year ago, the now CEO and Chief Token Officer of TokenFunder, Alan Wunsche, was working closely with regulators to develop a fully compliant ICO that would allow retail and accredited investors to fund the creation of the TokenFunder platform. Having received Canada-wide approval, TokenFunder is now accepting investors from all around the world. The TokenFunder ICO is offering investors something that many others don't: rights to the future profits of the platform, voting rights to prioritize which companies come onto the platform, and voting rights to direct the future developments of the platform. “We want to do something that really benefits our token holders and gives them real rights,” says Wunsche. The platform is also designed to help companies launch their own regulatory-approved ICOs. Wunsche discusses the importance of assisting startups not only with the technological and security aspects of their ICOs, but also with lifelong governance and guidance of those ICOs. Among other topics, Wunsche discusses the future of TokenFunder and the future of the blockchain industry in general. Check out the details at tokenfunder.com.
