Joe Hagan: From Wall Street Stockbroker to Crypto Crusader (Part 1)

About Joe Hagan:

Joe Hagan, a former Wall Street trader, has a deep understanding of financial markets and a talent for identifying future value. Throughout his career, he has learned that businesses are far more than just stock prices or dollar amounts. With time, he recognized that companies exist to solve human problems, and entire industries are constantly evolving to meet these challenges. This realization has driven Joe to shift his focus from trading equities to exploring the future of business marketing and payments, particularly through his work with WealthColony.

At WealthColony, Joe is passionate about decentralization and its potential to reshape the way businesses operate, especially in marketing and payments. He is particularly focused on educating others about the npayme solutions suite, which leverages smart contracts to allow businesses to maintain control over their brand growth, reward customers directly, and process payments without the need for intermediaries or regulatory interference. By embracing decentralization, Joe believes companies will be able to thrive on their own terms, using tools like social media without being beholden to them. This is the future Joe envisions for business—a future where companies can go viral and engage their customers autonomously.

In this episode, your hosts, Jason and Scott, together with Joe Hagan discuss:

• Wall Street experience and investment strategies
• Personal tragedies and shift in priorities 
• Introduction to crypto and Bitcoin
• Mining Litecoin and building a crypto venture
• Mainstream adoption of crypto and future prospects

Key Takeaways:

• Joe's unique approach to tracking insider trading activity allowed him to differentiate himself from typical brokers and build long-term client relationships based on his ability to identify promising investment opportunities early. 
• The loss of his mother, father, and wife, led Joe to reevaluate his priorities and shift away from the high-intensity Wall Street lifestyle.
• Despite initial skepticism, Joe's willingness to learn and his ability to surround himself with knowledgeable partners allowed him to recognize the long-term value of cryptocurrencies and blockchain-based solutions.
• Showcasing his ability to identify and capitalize on emerging opportunities, Joe had a mining venture that involved setting up a large-scale Litecoin mining operation in his garage.
• Witnessing the increasing mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies, including the acceptance of Bitcoin for government services in Louisiana, Joe’s desire to educate and empower others to participate in this transformative space reflects his commitment to shaping the future of finance and technology.
