gm. Mauricio Magaldi and Cuy Sheffield are back this week for another deep dive. In today's Insights episode, we aim to answer the following question: "What is the current state of crypto, and what is fostering adoption?" In the past two years, we have covered an immense range of topics and new stories, ranging from all things DAOs, NFTs, web3 advancements and all the exciting news about them, all the way down to regulation, stablecoins and pretty much anything you can think of. We now want to start drilling a little bit deeper into specific regions, and their own innovations and developments in the crypto sector. However, before we can do that - we need to zoom out once more, and lay some foundations. So in today's show, we're taking a look at the global state of crypto to explore how the past couple of years have shaped this sector into what it is today, what developments are currently fostering adoption, and as always - what we hope to see in the near future!

We hear more and more about the need to get more women in tech. More female founders, female funders, and more female panelists at events. Is it a man's world? Jess Houlgrave, founder of Codex Protocol and shEOS recently said in an interview with the Spectator that blockchain is "an industry based on merit. It’s very diverse, very varied politically and geographically — so no one cares whether you’re male or female, it’s about how good you are". Does that mean there isn't a problem? We discuss with Jess herself, her thoughts, experiences and theories, on the role of software, society, finance, the media, quotas, regulation and education in correcting the balance.
In this episode we speak with Jess Houlgrave, co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Codex. Houlgrave speaks on the non-financial aspects of blockchain, specifically in the arts & collectibles asset class. Here, Houlgrave touches on topics such as the regulatory environment in the United Kingdom, the uses of Codex and the many possibilities for blockchain in the arts & collectibles asset class. Major topics Non-financial aspects of blockchain Provenance Codex Advantages of Codex Bidable Regulatory environment in UK Biography co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Codex Credit Suisse in investment banking and M&A Ontario Pension Trust Oxford University

After listening to this episode you will learn: How Jess initially got into the Blockchain The connection Jess saw between Blockchain and the art world How that led Jess into the academic world and ultimately publishing a thesis paper How there was a perfect storm for Jess to combine her non-technical business and investment skillsets to create the Codex protocol How Jess was really excited by the creativity and diversity of the Blockchain scene Some tips on how to pick A players and manage a remote team across the world How they use all hands meetings three times a week to keep people and incentives aligned Why team building is such an important building block for success About how art is a $2 trillion dollar asset class How the Codex protocol works and helps tokenize art and collectables For show notes and more please visit: LAB Radio
