Description

What are NFTs? What's the difference between Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies? And should you still spend time learning about them given the recent volatility in the crypto market?Our answer: yes. Blockchain and the new digital technologies it’s spawned aren’t going away. New investments in this space by Meta, Microsoft and other big players mean some of these technologies will probably part of your future, soon. In this episode, we speak with expert Brit Morin who offers clear explanations for terms like NFTs, blockchain, Web3 and cryptocurrency. She even defines some jargon so you can sound savvy the next time a tech bro tries to mansplain the blockchain to you. Morin is the co-founder of BFF, an open-access crypto community for women and non-binary people. She is a serial entrepreneur, venture capitalist, podcast host, founder and CEO of Brit and Co - a media and digital education company. She recently founded a venture firm Offline Ventures and is also the creator of Selfmade, a start-your-own-business course for women entrepreneurs.Brit Morin➤www.instagram.com/brit➤www.twitter.com/brit➤www.firstinlinepod.com➤www.mybff.com➤www.offline.vc➤www.brit.coYou can follow Jessica Yellin here:➤Instagram: instagram.com/jessicayellin​➤Twitter: twitter.com/jessicayellin➤Twitter: twitter.com/newsnotnoise➤Facebook: facebook.com/newsnotnoise➤YouTube: youtube.com/newsnotnoise➤Website: NewsNotNoise.com➤Newsletter: newsnotnoise.bulletin.comSupport this work:➤patreon.com/NewsNotNoiseJessica Yellin is the founder of News Not Noise, a channel dedicated to giving you news with real experts and providing facts, not panic attacks.

I’m Jessica Yellin, the founder of News Not Noise. For years, I worked in network news at ABC, MSNBC, and CNN, where I was the Chief White House Correspondent. I’ve reported from around the world and won awards.The more years I got under my belt as a reporter, the more I became convinced that the news doesn't speak to a large part of the audience.In the summer of 2018, I did something different. The midterm elections were approaching and friends asked me to explain what the heck was happening in the political cycle.So, I picked up my phone and began posting short, daily explainer videos on Instagram. What started with me and a ring light is now a small team, dedicated to giving you news in a different voice. We aim to provide facts, not panic attacks. We interview real experts — not pundits. My goal is to provide the understanding you need to engage in the conversation and take action in the world.
