Something Ventured -- Silicon Valley Podcast

Alison McCauley is the Best Selling Author of Unblocked: How Blockchain will Change your Business and What to Do About It.

Why does blockchain matter? Alison points out that disruption is no longer a moment in time. It's a continual state. How do you understand the new opportunity? Set priorities in a complex and ever-shifting landscape? Prepare for what’s ahead? Alison helps you navigate the human side of digital acceleration.

In this episode we discuss the moment Alison came to be blown away by the potential of blockchain, how it’s like the early Internet…and the surprisingly large role of women in this industry.

I also conduct a thorough podcast investigation of whether Alison is Satoshi Nakamoto. Don’t miss it!
