What this episode covers

Blockchain as a tech solution for real world challenges is often lost among the 5 minute news cycle noise that tends to focus on blockchain only as the tech behind bitcoin, cryptocurrency and/or NFTs; however, blockchain can be used to better our day to day lives and support communities around the globe to increase financial inclusion initiatives and climate resiliency efforts. On this episode, I chat with Ken Kou about how Mercy Corps Ventures is leveraging blockchain to make real-world positive impacts and create new opportunities for communities across the globe.
