Dante Disparte – Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Global Policy for Circle

]]> A Sea Change in How We Send, Spend, Save, and Secure Money? Josh Burek, Dante Disparte 00:25:08 In our inaugural episode, we hear from Dante Disparte. He’s Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Global Policy for Circle, a leading platform for moving digital money across the Internet and around the world. Dante gives us a fascinating preview of some transformative changes on the horizon – indeed, happening now – for how we send, spend, save, and secure our money. We also discuss the deeper ways that digital money could elevate living standards for the 1.7 billion people on this planet who are unbanked or underbanked. As the saying goes, it’s expensive to be poor, but innovations in this space suggest we’re on the cusp of meaningful social impact – if this movement doesn’t go off the rails.
