Vanessa Grellet - Coinfund, Blockchain for Social Impact & How to Start a Career

“People don’t care about what you do until they know why you do it.” This is a paraphrase from Simon Sinek’s bestseller ‘Start with Why’. People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common, but they all started with asking ‘WHY’. After all, no one will listen to your idea unless they know the WHY behind it.

 

So, with the hope of demystifying the blockchain industry and its leaders, I started this podcast. If you are curious as to the identity of the movers, shakers and innovators who are shifting and making their mark on the blockchain industry, then this podcast is for you.

 

Not only will we discover how companies are transcending the crypto space, but we will also dive into the habits of leaders and what makes them outstanding people.

 

I hope that each episode gives you the strength to pursue your aspirations, and remind you that to achieve great things, enormous amounts of focus and dedication must be invested.

 

I believe that if we fulfil our true potential, each of us holds the key to a brighter future.

 

The Future Hour Podcast hopes to remind you: In the ocean of life, the isles of blessedness are smiling and the sunny shore of your ideal future awaits your coming.
