Hosted by Mark Connors, Onramp’s Head of Global Macro Strategy, and Rich Kerr, Onramp’s President of Managed Wealth, this show seeks to provide financial professionals the “wake up call” they need, prompt them to have an open mind with respect to bitcoin, rethink their prior assumptions, become more educated on the topic, and learn from others who are already farther down this path.
Mark and Rich bring a combined 60+ years of experience across traditional markets and financial services, and will share their unique perspectives in how their peers and colleagues can approach the realm of bitcoin. Wake Up Call will feature guests from various backgrounds and industries, who will share their own journeys to bitcoin and how others can get up to speed.
