WYFT or What’s Your Focus Today!

I go back with Dara now more than 6 years, when she was an early player, mover and shaker with all things related to the JOBS act and related crowdfunding issues. She continues to be a power in the space, and a big voice around the issue of small business, capital markets and formation, the rapidly changing landscape around exchanges, and most recently her interest in all things cryptofinance related. My conversation with her at the time was before Bitcoin was a conversation starter, and DLT/Blockchain nowhere to be seen. However, in our conversation, she's showing a keen understanding of many of the issues that are out there, need to be addressed, and what is keeping us from getting there. It is now clear that she was and continues to be a visionary, and her latest focus on the cryptofinance space is only testament to that. Check out her work at daraalbrightmedia.com, and be sure to tune into my update with her, I'm sure pretty soon.
