The Future of Community with Faia Founder George Siosi Samuels - a podcast by Travis King

Hey Everyone,

Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Also happy birthday weekend to myself! As a gift to you all and myself, i decided to put out this fresh episode with George that I had tonight. It's very interesting because I'm at the intersection of Enterprise B2B technology and the future of community + blockchain, which now that I learned about it a little, is super interesting and I can better understand why there are over 4,000 of these bitcoin groups around the world on Meetup's platform. Okay you'll hear the context of the episode and I hope you enjoy it and share with your friends, or anyone else who might be interested in:
