"Many of us forget to be in service to the most important person in our lives - ourselves." - Earle G. Hall Do you find vulnerability scary? Have you ever been told you need to become more self-aware? Then today's episode is for you! My guest is Earle G. Hall, CEO of AXES.ai, a fintech company present in over 40 countries dedicated to the eradication of money laundering, addictive gambling, and illicit activities. I took furious notes during this interview because when you've traveled to 108 countries like he has, you learn a few things ;) Earle is Vice-Chairman of the International Gaming Standards Association and a Government Blockchain Association board member. He is a graduate of the Royal Military College of Canada and a Veteran Army Officer. He also holds a master's degree in Public Administration and has undertaken doctoral studies in Organizational Psychology. He hails from my home province of Newfoundland, and in this episode you'll learn: Why one of the greatest qualities a new leader can cultivate is self-awareness, and how to crack that code early in your career The power of humanizing your colleagues in a world of lost connection (hint: it's easier than you think) A life-changing tip he received from General Romeo Dallaire, and how it can help elevate you, too...and more! How Vulnerability Inspires Others The more I showed them my real, authentic, and vulnerable self, the more engaged they became with me and the more productive they became. That's when I learned that there's something more to leadership than just giving direction, orders, and getting things done.   Overcoming your fears and insecurities When you look out to the group and you're trying to guess everything they're judging about you, you're just judging yourself. So what you can do as a new leader is you can take note of everything you think people are judging you about, because all that is is chatter coming out of your brain. It's doubt, lack of confidence, self-esteem, and these are the things that you need to overcome to sit inside yourself and just be authentic.   Making the most out of your new leader role New leaders have a competitive edge. Because when you're a new leader, you know almost nothing, and so you get to ask questions and learn many things. You get to listen actively and engage with people sincerely. And when an employee sees a new leader that is interested, engage, and genuinely wanting to understand, that employee will open up their entire knowledge base and hand it over to you for free.   Links and Resources Connect with Earl: LinkedIn Richard Beckhard books Trello

Dismantling racism doesn't happen by simply one self-diagnosing as being "not racist," it requires actively engaging in dismantling systems and processes that are inherently biased according to race, socio-economic status, zip-code etc. As an example, it's not enough to say "I do not promote the keeping of trash in the full, kitchen trash can," we have to move onto the action steps starting with taking out the trash. Then we can start to implement systems that prevent the filling of the trash can and signaling to draw attention when needed. I take you around that allegory to explain the premise behind the work Dr. Damon Bryant is advocating. In order to join the NFL, the NBA, get into graduate school, or compete for a job, testing is required. Rightfully so, correct? If you or your organization needed to fill its ranks with the appropriate type of talent you would need ways to evaluate applicants, I get it. What Dr. Bryant has shown is that the test that many organizations employ are flawed, biased, lack transparency, and in many cases don't actually test for their intended variables. Simply put, old systems that we have failed to tear down are impacting the trajectory of our families, generation after generation. The good news is that Dr. Brant and his team are confident that employing blockchain technology they can change the game.

This episode is all about what enterprise blockchain is and how it can be used! We are honored to feature Radhika Inyegar, co-author of the book “Enterprise Blockchain Has Arrived”. She shares with us how the blockchain came about conceptually, the differences between proof of work versus proof of stake, the different roles for permission and permission-less systems, smart contracts and the impact it will have on healthcare. Blockchain is essentially a database that has multiple owners, so everyone sees and has access to the same information. Right now, blockchain is used in the non-PHI side of healthcare.  Blockchain is all about truth and transparency in the transactions involved, and their application to healthcare is going to change the game.  About Rhadika Inyegar Radhika Iyengar is a TEDx and keynote speaker, author, Silicon Valley Woman of Influence, and a serial entrepreneur. She is Founding Partner at StarChain Ventures, a Silicon Valley-based venture studio focused on the convergence of advanced technologies including Blockchain, AI and IoT. She is also Managing Partner of DoubleNova Group, a global advanced tech advisory company based in Silicon Valley. Radhika is a co-author of the critically acclaimed book Enterprise Blockchain Has Arrived.

Radhika is an Advisory Board Member and Global Ambassador of Blockchain in Healthcare Today (BHTY), the world's first peer-reviewed journal on blockchain in healthcare. Key Take-aways  The Internet changed the world, and blockchain is on its way to do the same.  Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology which allows multiple owners to have ownership of the data that's within it. Once a change is made in a blockchain, it is immutable.  In blockchain all of the blocks of information are tied to each other.  Blockchain does not store data, it stores the hash of the record.  Guest Links and Resources: Connect and Follow Radhika on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/radhikaiyengar13/  Follow Radhika on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RIyengar13  Grab your copy of the book “Enterprise Blockchain Has Arrived” by Radhika Inyegar and Jorden Woods here: https://www.amazon.com/Enterprise-Blockchain-Has-Arrived-Deployments-ebook/dp/B07Z3LJCHW 

Luc Bohunicky & Misha Hanin (DeepDive) discuss a controversial, disruptive technology topic: is enterprise blockchain adoption REALITY…or is it more BUZZ and HYPE? While the technology world was pitching 2020 as "the year of blockchain in enterprises" from reports as reputable as Gartner, Forrester, KPMG and Deloitte…the reality we've seen as technology builders has been quite a bit different! Misha has been in the blockchain technology world before any buzz ever existed, as an active member of the enterprise blockchain community, an Ambassador of Government Blockchain Association's UAE Chapter, and lead DeepDive Technology Group to become the first Hyperledger blockchain certified vendor in the entire MENA region. Despite his belief that blockchain remains “the future,” this episode discusses an honest perspective on what's holding blockchain back, with a strong call-to-action for all viewers to weigh-in with their own personal thoughts!   In this episode, we dive deep into such topics as...   -possible reasons WHY enterprise blockchain adoption has NOT lived up to expectations or hype -the difference between incremental improvement vs massive leaps in value, when it comes to new tech adoption -pros and cons of blockchain technology -the most ideal use-cases for blockchain technology -how the adoption of blockchain in the enterprise compares to adoption rates with other disruptive tech -what enterprise executives should do with this information (forget the hype, & experiment)

CoinDesk reporter Leigh Cuen is joined by attorney Preston Byrne, a partner at the Washington, D.C. office of Anderson Kill, to talk about fraud and constitutional rights. This episode is sponsored by ErisX, The Stellar Development Foundation and Grayscale Digital Large Cap Investment Fund.“There is really very little difference, at least in the point of origin...whether something is a scam,” Byrne said, regarding inaccurate blogs and representations of software projects. “Take Ethereum, for example. Ethereum had all manner of promises that were made...the statements coming from the Ethereum Foundation were somewhat more measured.” Regardless of whether any particular project is an attempt at fraud, it’s likely that online money schemes of every variety will become more common during this coronavirus crisis. According to Thomas Papageorge, head of the Consumer Protection Unit at the San Diego District Attorney’s office, there’s a “clear pattern” of more white-collar crimes since the recession began. “The rate of incidents, the amount of fraud, does increase dramatically during an emergency situation like this,” Papageorge said. “I’ve heard about new types of scams that involve cryptocurrency … investment scams and bogus advice about protecting your savings or bitcoin.”Bitcoin evangelist Andreas Antonopoulos tweeted that fraudsters were impersonating him to offer unemployed people fake jobs, identity thieves looking for personal information. Likewise, CoinDesk impersonators are also targeting people across the sector. According to Carnegie Mellon University economics professor Sevin Yeltekin, the financial stressors people are experiencing today make them “more vulnerable to those scams.” However, there is a silver lining, she said, because businesses that survive the current recession will do so because they reimagined how they operate, including “risk management.”Even tech-savvy people like Lisa Gus, startup investment lead at the Government Blockchain Association and co-founder of the startup WishKnish, can be vulnerable to fraudsters in such stressful times. Gus said she spent several weeks being led on by a scammer impersonating a Binance employee, before her startup’s security solution MetaCert identified a phishing domain behind the fraudster’s email account, support@communitybinance.org. “About LinkedIn, I’m not the only one being inundated with fake [investment] offers...the amount of propositions I’ve been getting (is up),” Gus said. “Especially for larger companies, it’s impossible to track profiles that are associated with them.”With regards to this instance, a LinkedIn spokesperson recommended members “take precautions” in these trying times and “report any messages or postings they believe are scams to us so we can investigate."Larger companies often charge early stage blockchain projects for working together, whether it’s cited as marketing costs or listing fees. In Gus’s case, the fraudster had due diligence paperwork and non-disclosure contracts, which made the scammer’s request for a bitcoin deposit less suspicious. As for retail users, ShapeShift CEO Erik Voorhees has “definitely seen more phishing attempts” since early March. Likewise, a Binance spokesperson said so far in 2020 the company saw an average of 180 scam reports per month, which dwarf the unreported instances. So the exchange offers a public verification tool to check whether websites, phone numbers, emails, Telegram and WeChat handles are actually affiliated with Binance. That’s why the blockchain explorer Etherscan launched the “EthProtect” program in April, to tag wallet addresses reportedly used for fraud. Etherscan CEO Matthew Tan said the company uses internal “circuit breakers” to minimize false positives and aims to provide users with “actionable data” to make “informed choices” about who they transact with. As for the attorney Byrne, he said in some cases cryptocurrency projects may run afoul of consumer protection issues, even if they are not considered unregistered securities or frauds. “There’s a range of representations of things, what you can say about things, that aren’t necessarily true but aren’t fraudulent,” he said. The fact is, cryptocurrency now exists. People will use it unethically, the same way they do with all other forms of money. But there are lawful and constructive ways to use the technology as well. “You can operate a bitcoin business in a regulatory compliant fashion,” Byrne said. “However, it requires a lot of work and advice and design to do that correctly.” Want more?

A blockchain supported voting app is in the aggressive testing phase and could be the solution for the upcoming 2020 Presidential Elections in the USA. Susan Eustis, the inventor of the Electronic Voting Machine is working with members of the Government Blockchain Association to bring this new solution to the voting public. The blockchain technology will secure the audit trail of every vote and the delivery via cell phones and devices will address concerns posed by social distancing and coronavirus. Several blockchain platforms (including Ardor - https://ardorplatform.org) are integrated into the new voting app. Contact Susan through the Government Blockchain Association - https://gbaglobal.org Part One of this Interview is on the Together-ing Podcast and can be found here: https://together-ing.com/electronic-voting-machine-inventor-works-on-blockchain-voting-app-for-elections-during-coronavirus-pandemic/

Susan Eustis invented the electronic voting machine. Now she has developed a cell phone app for voting that is secured by blockchain technology. This app would give voters the freedom to cast their ballots safely and remotely during the Coronavirus. Testing of the voting app begins today, April 24 for state election officials and anyone who is interested. In this interview Susan and I talk about her involvement in the voting process over the years and how she is coping and contributing during the coronavirus pandemic. Susan's best coping advice is to find happiness in the little things.

Alisa talks about her background, first coming to the United States from Uzbekistan twenty-seven years ago at twelve years old, growing up in Kentucky and moving to DC to raise her children, particularly for its stellar educational opportunities, which transitions into the two discussing raising their children in today's scholastic systems.Segment 2This segment begins with Alisa speaking more on her education in Kentucky, getting her associates and shifting her focus to business, starting her career in marketing and meeting her husband, a developer, and becoming a producer on a show, moving into publication in 2011, and ended how she started working in the blockchain space. She talks about how she first got her start in publication in Virginia through savings and investments and the extended process of getting a book published and put into physical stores and online. She talks about the challenges of being a small business going against Amazon and how this led to the start of her blockchain business.Segment 3Elisa explains the concept of ‘blockchain', going into how she started her business in 2016, learning the ins-and-outs of Reddit , how it was initially created to cut down on banking fees, and its purpose cutting out middlemen like Amazon, explaining ICOs, how it all comes down to who you choose to trust, and explaining how Bitcoin and cryptocurrency fits into the big picture with the process. She also speaks on why banks decided to stay out of this arena. Elisa then goes into how blockchaining can help burgeoning business minds and how its beneficial for people looking to do business internationally, and how the automation of WishKnish makes the sharing of data amongst traders much more proficient. Segment 4The final segment of the show begins with how blockchaining can potentially replace big fish like Amazon and Google and how their existing technology will be integrated gradually to make the shift between that technology and blockchaining much smoother for the average consumer. Elisa then talks about being the Manager Partner at the nonprofit, VeeSee, which supports female entrepreneurs in many areas like legally and mentally, Gus going into learning from an experience of getting hurt by trusting the wrong people, which gave her the initiative to support the cause in the first place, as well as the especially high rates of mental health issues reported from female entrepreneurs in particular. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-entrepreneurial-web/donations
