The Worlds of Identity and Anonymity with Phillip Shoemaker

On this episode of the DIVI Crypto Podcast our host Steve McGarry is joined by Phillip Shoemaker, CEO and Executive Director of Identity.com. To start the show Phillip goes through his early career going from start-up to start-up, and how he got to running the App Store at Apple as a coworker of Steve Jobs. They talk about the worlds of Identity and anonymity, and the problems that are present in those areas that led to the creation of Identity.com. Steve asks about the current state of the service and how it can be used today, and what excites Phillips about the Web3 space today. Identity.com is the leading identity-verification nonprofit providing an open-source, decentralized ecosystem. Its flagship technology is the Gateway Protocol, which provides permissionless authentication and verification. Together with Identity.com, companies and developers may create convenient, on-demand identity verification solutions that offer consumers ownership and control over their digital identities. - Twitter @Identity - https://twitter.com/identity - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/shoemaker/ - Website - https://www.identity.com/home-3/ – DIVI is creating the world's first closed-loop, vertically-integrated cryptocurrency ecosystem.
