One of the greatest battles of our generation is having equitable access to today’s economy. But it is possible to bring about social justice through economic empowerment, and breaking open the doors to the tech world is one of the best ways to do it. This week, episode 147 of the Tech Intersect™ Podcast is about achieving social justice and financial freedom with careers in tech!

DETACH: The Prudent Crypto Investor Method Premium Webinar

After beginning 2023 below $17,000, bitcoin has quietly floated near $25,000 and continues to hold its position, despite Fed interest rate hikes and the ebb and flow of stock, bond and commodities markets. Ethereum is rallying, as well. Experts are hinting the market may have bottomed out and are predicting we may see another bull run by year’s end.

Only time will tell but if past is prologue, markets always rebound. Always. And fortunes are sown in down markets and reaped when the bulls run. So, it’s time to stay ready so you don’t have to get ready.

I’ve developed an exclusive and engaging premium webinar to share my six-step D.E.T.A.C.H. framework for the prudent crypto investor. If that’s YOU, secure your seat today (VERY limited tickets capped at 100 total for ALL ticket types to maximize impact and community connection).

The market never sleeps. So, it’s time to wake up, and prepare to DETACH!
