Ep. 40: Isabella Santos - The Unique Voice of Education, Entertainment & Empowerment
You're The Voice | by Efrat Fenigson - Ein Podcast von Efrat Fenigson
My guest today is Isabella Santos, content creator & educator, co-founder of GetBased - a media company, and the founder of BTC Isla in Isla Mujeres, an initiative to create a Bitcoin circular economy with the vision to empower locals to utilize Bitcoin as a tool for freedom. In this episode Isabella shares her upbringing, career journey and her work around bringing financial literacy and Bitcoin circular economy to Peru, Mexico and the world. She discusses the corrupt political situation in Peru and the lack of basic needs for many communities, and hence the importance of teaching them about Bitcoin in simple terms and breaking down the barriers to entry. We also touch on the corrupt nature of the media landscape, control and censorship of social media platforms and the importance of mindset change, critical thinking and personal responsibility in navigating today's society. . ► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.
