Behind The Builder ep. 22 - Sami Ahmed, COO & Head of Legal @RepublicCrypto

not only is Sami working @RepublicCrypto, but he is also a blockchain law professor @Wharton

more people from twitter should become crypto teachers !!!

instead of letting media and uneducated professors from other subjects explain what crypto is - encourage a little homework on self educating how crypto is applicable and get a teacher at schools "fostering innovation" from the industry

thanks, Sami for a wonderful episode and you can show your students this spring semester your on chain podcast they can collect themselves
