Season 5- The future of money line up:

This season we are bringing guests on to the broadcast for a live Q&A on the hottest topics in this new normal of business. We are going back to the basics- plot TWIST- the basics have changed! Join us each week as we dive deep into the murky waters of money. At the core of business is one simple understanding. You have something, someone wants that thing you have and is willing to exchange something they have to get it.

​"Money" started off as trading goods or services and now Money is a liquid asset used in the settlement of transactions. It functions based on the general acceptance of its value within an economy. The current value of monetary currency is not necessarily derived from the materials used to produce the note or coin. Instead, value is derived from the willingness to agree to a displayed value and rely on it for use in future transactions. This is money's primary function: a generally recognized medium of exchange that people and global economies intend to hold, and are willing to accept as payment for current or future transactions.

6/14/21    NFT's? WTF....    "Hahaha... This title says it all.. What.. the... Future ready is a NFT? Let's find out!  It's easiest to answer the question metaphorically. Think of an NFT as a certificate of authenticity. But instead of a sheet of paper, it's a unique string of characters.  That string is connected to a blockchain, the same concept that powers cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. The main difference is that bitcoins are fungible, which means they are essentially the same. NFTs are non-fungible — each one is unique.

"New normal", "Pre-pandemic", "The great reset" While we don't always like hearing or even admitting it, the pandemic has changed how we view our world and our individual place in it. Money is man - made, from concept to conception, so it is not immune to changes in humanity. In fact, "Money" has changed thousands of times throughout human history and will continue to do so. Let's take the jargon and the new fancy names out of the picture, let's pull back the veil of secrecy and dive deep into this new budding future of money
