Episode 168 - Flo, lead developer for the Noir Coin team

It's been a super long time since I've put out a podcast.  I've been working on building my own brand.  But I bumped into Lee at an event in Cigar Sessions in Middletown, Delaware.  That 15 minute conversation led to me dusting off my mic and getting back into the swing of things.  In Episode 183, Lee and I discussed how he get into cigars.  We talked about his blending method, factory tours, the core line offerings from Stolen Throne, and limited editions.  Make sure you visit their social media accounts and keep up with them.

Also known as "Principle Z", Nadav was formally a Software engineer.  Introduced Podcasting to his school as a way to engage student learners.  The blockchain advocate moved from SW engineering because he wanted to really make a difference and decided to move to education as a Physics and Robotics teacher.  He wants to use Blockchain to change education. Blockchains are a ledger of account that the transcript can be imported to. You could decentralize the high school transcript and have their progress follow them all through their education. It incentivizes a shift to project-based learning instead of test-based learning.  In this episode we discussed his love of Bitcoin and his book: Follow Nadav on Twitter: @nzeimer S/O to @nftylab for their work on NFT's Support Nadav by buying his book Education in the Digital Age: How we get there https://amzn.to/3oLarsB
