The Curious Learners
I feel privileged to speak to so many great minds as part of my job. They are passionate builders, insightful investors, laser-focused leaders. They are all curious learners in their own way. It is their urge to learn more. That urge is curiosity. When I speak to these people, I hear fascinating ideas, solid business plans, genius growth hacking practices, relentless team building focus, unique investing strategies and many others. However, most of the time, key insights, business intelligence and inspiring stories shared in these conversations do not make their way to the outside world. The Curious Learners is an attempt to share the stories of those curious learners with those, who might find the inspiration that they were looking for or those who might get the encouragement for their own journey that they already started. Looking forward to a long journey together.

My guest today is Patrick Hansen. He is the Head of Strategy and Growth at Unstoppable Finance. It is a start-up with a mission of financial inclusion and making decentralised finance accessible to the mass market.
Patrick and I talked about what it takes to onboard billion users in DeFi and what they are building at Unstoppable Finance to contribute to this goal. Some of the specific topics that we discussed are below:
- Current challenges in DeFi
- Response from regulators and policy-makers
- CBDCs vs. privately-issued stable coins
- Transformational impact of web 3.0 and expanding use of NFTs
- Serving 'power users' and new users of crypto at the same time
Please enjoy my conversation with Patrick Hansen.
