00:00I'm definitely big into the crypto Web3 space.

00:02You know, I went to Token in Singapore.

00:05I have a crypto podcast called Courtside Crypto, which basically for me, it's, you know, whenever

00:11you talk to people that are into crypto space, right, they use a lot of words that people

00:14don't understand or can't gravitate.

00:15For me, it's like being the bridge the gap, because at the end of the day, do I look at

00:18the crypto world is that I feel the cup is about 90 to 95% full, right?

00:22All those people in that space, they're all in the pot.

00:24But in our world, in the Web2 world, what they call the normies, I feel like it's to

00:29be conservative, maybe only 8% full of the cup, which means there's a 92% cup that needs

00:33to get full, right?

00:35Because the world is changing.

00:36You see with them talking about building out a Bitcoin reserve here in America, right?

00:40Right now, you can use your USDC to pay for regular things.

00:44I know I use my own USDC card to pay when I go to go to restaurants, right?

00:49So for me, it's like, how can I take the Web2 audience and integrate, but take both worlds

00:54and combine them into one.

00:55And for me, with MyPockets and my platform, I feel like I'm able to articulate and help

00:59people onboard and understand in a way that's very simple.

01:02My base, this is my goal is, how can I take the gentleman that works at a concession stands

01:06in the arena, instead of him going to, and no disrespect to none of these financial institutions,

01:12instead of going to H&R Block and Fidelity and giving me your biweekly check to invest

01:15for you, how about you learn how to take more financial freedom, because I feel like crypto,

01:20it's gaining back your financial freedom, where you can open a wallet, where you can

01:23do DeFi and yield and make 1% a day on your money, right?

01:27My whole goal is to help people create financial freedom and help their life grow.
