According to my guest, many entrepreneurs are not good at storytelling and cannot encompass all the struggles that happened in their journey to success. People only see the success part and think that everything was achieved easily. They did not see these successful entrepreneurs' sacrifices, rejections, and hard work. Wendy O's accomplishments as a person and an entrepreneur are a testimony to the many struggles to overcome to be on the top. Wendy is also known as CryptoWendyO. She became interested in cryptocurrency and blockchain in 2017. Before that, she worked in healthcare and a large infectious disease company. Since the summer of 2018, she has been involved in the cryptocurrency space full-time while finishing a degree in business and marketing. In addition, she hosts The O Show, which documents her journey in crypto. In just a few short years, she's become the largest female voice in the space, with millions of monthly views across multiple channels. Her focus is transparent marketing and media solutions for crypto companies, as well as hosting face-to-face meetups and educating legislators and the people on the benefits of this new industry.
