This episode is a continuation of my Blockchain series where I
sit down with people working in the cryptocurrency/blockchain space
to try to find out how the blockchain will impact the world.
In this episode, I sit down with Dr Marcus Weller.
Marcus has been a Founder, CEO, and Advisor to companies
spanning consumer electronics, blockchain, and biotechnology since
2012. Starting in 2009, Dr. Weller served as 1 of 10 Americans
selected by the Humboldt Foundation to develop scientific ties in
the field of Psychology between Germany and the United
States.
While in Germany, Dr. Weller also studied Cognitive
Neuroscience at the University of Munich. After graduating from
Wayne State University with a PhD in Industrial Psychology with a
subfocus in Data Science, Dr. Weller joined Maxim Semiconductor in
Silicon Valley before founding one of the first consumer Augmented
Reality technology companies in 2012. Dr. Weller is an inventor on
over 20 patent applications spanning areas including biotechnology,
consumer electronics, and pharmacodynamics, and has been fortunate
enough to learn alongside some of the best innovators in the
world.
Marcus is currently CMO at iTrust Capital and Head of Science
at Halcyon Biotechnologies Inc.
We talk about what consolidation may look like in crypto,
tribalism in the space, and we ask one big question: Can the world
truly be decentralized?
