With the ascendance of gig work platforms like Uber, Fiverr, and DoorDash, it could be easy to be lulled into thinking that the space is fully matured. But there’s a new wave of gig working platforms that promise to add in Web3 Technology and the ability to accomplish more complex work. Our guest today, Matthew Spoke, is the Founder and CEO of Moves Financial, a fintech platform designed to enable the gig economy in Web3.About Matthew Spoke:Matthew Spoke is the CEO of Moves, the Digital Credit Union of the gig economy.

He’s served as an advisor to governments on the regulatory implications of new technologies like blockchain on the future world of finance.In his former life, Matt was working as a CPA with Deloitte, when he discovered Bitcoin and became fascinated with the technology.A word from our sponsor:At Ripple, we manage all of our fund expenses and employee credit cards using Jeeves. The team at Jeeves helped get me and my team setup with physical and virtual credit cards in days. I was able to allow my teammates to expense items in multiple currencies allowing them to pay for anything, anywhere at anytime. We weren’t asked for any personal guarantees or to pay any setup or monthly SaaS fees.Not only does Jeeves save us time, but they also give us up to 3% cash back on our purchases including expenses like Google, Facebook or AWS every month. The best part is Jeeves puts up the cash, and you settle up once every 30 days in any currency you want, unlike some other corporate card companies that make you pre-pay every month. Jeeves also recently launched its Jeeves Growth and Working Capital initiative for startups and fast-growing companies to enable more financial freedom for companies. The best thing of all is that Jeeves is live in  24 countries including Canada, US and many other countries around the world.Jeeves truly offers the best all-in-one expense management corporate card program for all startups especially the ones at Ripple and we at Tank Talks could not be more excited to officially partner with them. Listeners of Tank Talks can get set up with a demo of Jeeves today and take advantage of our Tank Talks special with a‍ $250 statement credit after the first $2,500 in spend or a $500 statement credit after the first $5000 in spend. Lastly, all Jeeves cardholders receive access to their Lounge Pass program and access to over 1300 airports globally.Visit tryjeeves.com/tanktalks to learn more.In this episode we discuss:02:44 Matt’s journey into Startups04:44 The attention his early ideas received and how that was embraced07:42 Lessons he learned from his first crypto startup12:38 False competition and bad ideas in a frothy market18:48 How the gig economy has evolved since 2020 and the pandemic23:45 What surprised Matt most about Gig worker economy27:12 How the privacy lockdown on iOS has affected data collection for gig platforms30:29 What Moves does and how it works for Gig workers39:23 How Moves interacts with traditional banks and financial services45:50 Getting gig workers aware of their financial position and helps improve their financial health49:02 The revenue model of Moves50:57 Plans for their recent $5M Seed round led by Omers VenturesFast Favorites🎙- Favorite Podcast: All in, Curse of Politics📰- Favorite Newsletter /Blog: Lenny Airbnb📲- Favorite Tech Gadget: DJI Mini 2 drone📈-  Favorite New Trend: Stock ownership by workers📚- Favorite Book: Inspired🤔 - Favorite Life Lesson: If you’re the smartest person in the room, change roomsFollow Matt Cohen and Tank Talks here!Podcast production support provided by Agentbee.Agency This is a public episode.

Welcome to another episode of the Action and Ambition Podcast. We have on the show is the CEO of Moves, Matthew Spoke. Spoke is regarded as a thought leader at the forefront of game-changing technology, having spoken at dozens of innovation conferences and written for Forbes.com, Coindesk.com, Financial Post.com, and TechCrunch. He is a major proponent of the societal advantages of decentralized technologies and founded the Open Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to advancing blockchain technologies. Spoke took stock of what the organization had done and the lessons learned in late 2019. Spoke noticed a need for a new type of product-centered on empowering gig workers after having a conversation with an Uber driver. The following day, he began shifting the company toward addressing the systemic issues confronting the rising gig workers — and Moves was born. Moves is a social finance product for gig workers obsessed with two things: building a world-class financial product for gig workers and forming a collective to help gig workers through shared social experiences. Efforts to rebalance the gig economy in favor of its workers took place. Gig workers now make up the majority of the American workforce, numbering an estimated 50 million people. However, no one is looking out for their best interests or giving them the tools to capitalize on their collective scale. Find out more by tuning into this episode. You're going to love it!

Most people who choose independent work in the gig economy do so because they are pursuing career fulfillment, independence, and flexibility. But the trade-off is that you need to fend for yourself: withholding and remitting taxes, putting money aside for health insurance, retirement or paid sick leave, etc.   This can be overwhelming, but today I welcome Matthew Spoke, CEO of Moves Financial, to the show. Moves is a startup dedicated to helping independent workers achieve their financial goals.   We discuss what the gig economy is exactly, how it was expected to grow, and how COVID-19 impacted the timeline. We also touch on the increased demand for interim C-level executives and what the biggest pitfalls are for gig workers and the people who hire them.   Get to know the gig economy   Growing labor force trends: Economic and industry instability — More people will choose independent work as a primary choice or to diversify income in the coming decades. Increasing selection — More skills are being brought into the online marketplace every day.   Tips for Gig workers: Diversify — Make sure you have profiles on every platform to avoid your reputation being held hostage. Financial hygiene — Understand your income and live below your means so you can put money aside.   Tips for hiring gig workers: Do your due diligence — Investigate reviews to avoid the most common pain points.
