    Web3 Venture at Decasonic

    Canada Crypto Week was a blast! From the Blockchain Futurist Conference in Toronto to the events all week long, the energy and optimism were palpable, and it was amazing to connect with so many brilliant minds pushing the boundaries of blockchain technology. From catching up with old friends to forging new connections, I was truly inspired by the collaborative spirit and forward-thinking discussions happening at every turn. Canada’s premier blockchain conference didn’t disappoint, and I’m excited about the innovative ideas and projects that will undoubtedly emerge from this gathering. For everyone I had the pleasure of meeting, expect a follow-up soon. It was a joy to share this experience with you, and I’m looking forward to crossing paths again in the near future. #FuturistConference #CanadaCryptoWeek #Decasonic

    Visionaries power positive transformation across digital and physical worlds. It was a pleasure hosting VIPs in Sterling Bay's newest VIP space, 360 N Green in Fulton Market. Excerpts of my opening remarks celebrating #visionaries: "Visionaries express the bold aspirations that flourish others.  Visionaries execute on those dreams with humility, substance and tremendous clarity.  Visionaries come in all shapes and sizes, in unexpected spaces, many times with unexpected long term impact.  Professionally, I study visionaries and am energized to work with them.  Through Decasonic, I have the fortune to express my life’s vision, my life’s work: the power of #Web3 innovations builds a better tomorrow, for your kids, for my two daughters, for their grandkids.  We are pushing the frontiers of what’s possible and ensuring technology serves as a force for good. Tonight, I open our conference at this VIP reception event with a celebration of the humble visionaries in our industry.  What is a “humble visionary” you ask? A quick story that starts with my father-in-law.  My vision is inspired by my father in law.  Early in life, he had a vision for his kids to have a better life and went through hell in a civil war to come to the US.  He’s a survivor of a war, a boat refugee who attempted three times to escape his home country with a family of four, with two kids under the age of six.  He worked long hours as a refugee in the US to pursue the American Dream.  He embodies the quiet hard work and optimism with a vision for a better tomorrow. He’ll never take credit for it but is always looking to the future.   Today, he’s today a founder of not one, but two successful multi-million dollar revenue companies in the food and wine industry.  I’m honored to call him Dad.  I come from generations of economic migrants who travel the world with a vision that this migration helps unlock our potential.  Innovation is everywhere and I will travel anywhere to connect with them.  This vision led me to buy my first bitcoin in 2013 and enter the world of crypto.  That next year, I was dating a beautiful athlete who convinced me to watch her run the Chicago marathon in 2014, 10 years ago.  I had never been to Chicago.  That woman took me to a meat packing area west of the loop to eat at a trendy bunch place.  At about that time, there were rumors that Google was moving into this neighborhood, called Fulton Market.  Today, Fulton Market has been transformed.  #FultonMarket is today where you are - it’s a neighborhood thriving with tech ideas, michelin stars, McDonald’s and other F500 HQs, and a vibe that mixes culture, tech and an industrial Midwest work ethic.  I’m humbled to call these humble visionaries behind Fulton Market my friends:  Dean Marks, Keating Crown and Andy Glor at Sterling Bay.  As crypto and #Chicago have grown, we have seen crypto and tech flourish in Fulton Market."
