THE EPISODE:
Jarrett Vaughan and Host Ashley Smith cover several themes in this episode including crypto & web3 education for the everyday layperson, emerging opportunities for fundraising & non-profits, and the possibilities with blockchain technology & real estate. As a university professor who teaches about cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and web3, Jarrett has deep insights into the blockchain realm, and sees the ebbs & flows of interest in the technology and markets, as well as trends in the demographics of those who are leaning in to learn. Jarrett shares his personal story about his 8 year old daughter, Sailor, who has been courageously navigating multiple physical disabilities since birth, and how she found joy in art during long & difficult hospital stays. This led to the idea for digibuddies, an inclusive NFT project with a mission to raise awareness of the often-overlooked limitations that individuals face. They also aim to donate a portion of sales proceeds to their children’s hospital. In this chat, Jarrett provides an overview of how blockchain can serve charitable giving, some of the current tools, and some of the existing challenges he hopes to see overcome. Ashley & Jarrett also spend time breaking down ideas on how web3 technology may impact the real estate sector, reviewing current uses and ideas for the future. There’s a lot in this episode - listen all the way through to get the most out of it!
