Bitcoin Entrepreneurialism
with Anthony “Pomp” Pompliano
In this episode, Brad sits down with Anthony "Pomp" Pompliano. Pompliano — colloquially called Pomp, is an entrepreneur, investor and podcast host. He's also one of the most recognizable personalities in crypto — with 1.5+ million followers on Twitter and regularly appearing on TV to debunk misinformation about bitcoin throughout the industry.
Pomp has invested over $100 million in tech startup companies, owns Bitcoin, and has often been the voice of reason in Bitcoin diehards' and Bitcoin skeptics' showdowns.
He has an initiative called PompCryptoJobs, through which job seekers can connect with industry employers. Pomp and Brad delve into that, some of the shockers in the industry's 2019-2021 cycle, and how to strike a chord among all Bitcoin camps in this episode. Tune in!
