At the beginning of the month I shared my monthly to-do list in my private makers group: I thought it would be a great idea to publish this publicly in order to keep myself accountable, and maybe, I can inspire some you to start working through your own to-do list. Let’s look at how I […]
I’m not overly keen on attending events, but I had the opportunity to attend the Blockchain World Conference in Bangkok this week, and I’m so glad I did. I learned heaps. In fact, I walked away from the event feeling I have so much more to learn about the crypto world – especially around other […]
