I’m the founder of a newsletter-based publication, Vivid Minds, which focuses on how leaders overcome challenges. I’m particularly interested in exploring the intersection of mental health and the creator economy, as well as the impact of digital trends and crypto on our well-being. In 2016, I had the opportunity to interview Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, when ether was just $12, and has been following the crypto scene closely ever since. In the last six years, my work has taken me around the world, from Moscow to New York City. In San Francisco, I helped host blockchain conferences for over 3,000 attendees. In 2018, my own blockchain event in Germany, called Blockchain Visionaire Summit, brought together hundreds of attendees and contributed to the growth of the European blockchain scene.
