Thursday Jun 10, 2021
In today's episode, we dive deep to understand what a "home" really is—and what it means to us. Our idea of a home is rather unconventional, but when the goal is to truly be a global citizen... the concept of home expands beyond the walls of a physical space that an individual owns or rents.

Sunday Jun 06, 2021
Sunday Jun 06, 2021
In today’s episode, we discuss whether or not someone can be too early when adopting/creating new tech, new business models, or new opportunities.
Although this question seems easy to answer on the surface, early adoption is actually a much deeper and complex topic that’s certainly worthy of a quality conversation.

221. Why Is Self Efficacy Important?
Saturday Jun 05, 2021
Saturday Jun 05, 2021
In today’s episode, we discuss our thoughts on the importance of self-efficacy—the internal belief in one’s own ability to accomplish, learn, and/or eventually become great at something. Why is it so important to believe in yourself?
We share some of the dips in our own confidence that we’ve experienced recently, and why it’s so essential for each of us to find the strength to push through those lows. Through this conversation, we come to realize just how essential this self-efficacy piece of the entrepreneurial puzzle is.

Friday Jun 04, 2021
Friday Jun 04, 2021
Get excited friends, it’s adventure story time again! Today we share one of our favorite travel stories—that time when we went to an exclusive Steve Aoki concert on a private beach in southern Nicaragua and watched it all from the VIP lounge. This just so happens to be the perfect example of a time when finding the 3rd door really worked out for us.
We recap what we mean by “the 3rd door” (we have a whole podcast episode on this too!) and share some of our tips for how to set yourself up for success when discovering that third option. We hope you enjoy this fun story and that it inspires you to seek discomfort, fun, and adventure. Get out of your box amigos—you never know what may come next.

219. Why Do We Feel Late to the Party?
Thursday Jun 03, 2021
Thursday Jun 03, 2021
In today's episode, we discuss an all too familiar feeling we're experienced constantly in the blockchain/crypto space—are we too late to the party? In all honesty, NO we are not... it's still very early days. And if you're listening to this, neither are you—but why do we tend to still feel this way sometimes?
There've been other industries, trends, and experiences that have made others feel this way too—so in this episode, we deep dive into the reasons why this may be.

Wednesday Jun 02, 2021
CREAM: Cash Rules Everything Around Me.
In today's episode, we discuss a new type of bank that is encouraging users to save money in a savings account each month in a very different way—through lottery tickets!
We deep dive into what this company is really trying to do, how they do this, and the psychology behind why lottery tickets are so effective in altering human behavior (hint: it ironically has a lot to do with our relationship with luck, chance, and uncertainty!).
Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Tune in to hear our thoughts and conclusion of Yotta, the (fiat) savings bank account disrupter.

Tune in to hear our tips and tricks as we reflect on our own diverse range of presentations—from the TedX stage to a small classroom of undergraduates—as well as others we've watched both in-person and online. We hope this episode helps you kill it in your next presentation!
