In this episode, I had a chat with Ivan Zhang, CEO of PennyWorks, former Quant Portfolio Manager, and Crypto entrepreneur. Ivan is currently focused on using the power of Web3 to give people more agency over their money. During the conversation, we discussed blockchain, DeFi, and Web3 and how these technologies can help prevent the financial issues brought about by inflation. For those who are tired of seeing their hard-earned money being eroded by inflation, PennyWorks is an alternative investment platform that offers access to high-yield investments with no lockups. PennyWorks uses the funds to make collateralized loans, one of the safest forms of lending. These loans leverage the power of blockchain technology to cut out the middleman, reduce fees, and give more income back to the investor.
In this episode, I had a conversation with Kim Hamer. A fantastic woman with a remarkable story. Kim launched 100 Acts of Love, a consultancy that provides tools to help leaders increase team productivity, trust, and engagement when cancer affects the whole team member.

She's an HR consultant and a sought-after public speaker who lives in Los Angeles, where she tries not to bother her relatively well-behaved college-aged children.

During his illness and after his death, she was amazed by the helpful ways their co-workers, bosses, friends, and family supported them. Kim started calling their kind actions "acts of love." After the death of her husband, Kim, an HR leader, noticed that managers received no guidance when navigating cancer or death on their teams. She saw how their lack of helpful tools and guidance was costly. It negatively affected employee engagement, increased turnover rates, and lowered productivity. She set out to change that. Combining her personal experience with her professional knowledge and leadership skills, she launched 100 Acts of Love.
