About Joe Hagan:Joe Hagan, a former Wall Street trader, has a deep understanding of financial markets and a talent for identifying future value. Throughout his career, he has learned that businesses are far more than just stock prices or dollar amounts. With time, he recognized that companies exist to solve human problems, and entire industries are constantly evolving to meet these challenges. This realization has driven Joe to shift his focus from trading equities to exploring the future of business marketing and payments, particularly through his work with WealthColony.At WealthColony, Joe is passionate about decentralization and its potential to reshape the way businesses operate, especially in marketing and payments. He is particularly focused on educating others about the npayme solutions suite, which leverages smart contracts to allow businesses to maintain control over their brand growth, reward customers directly, and process payments without the need for intermediaries or regulatory interference. By embracing decentralization, Joe believes companies will be able to thrive on their own terms, using tools like social media without being beholden to them. This is the future Joe envisions for business—a future where companies can go viral and engage their customers autonomously.In this episode, your hosts, Jason and Scott, together with Joe Hagan discuss:Decentralized control and transparency of data and assetsOvercoming resistance to technological advancementsDigital wallets and smart contracts enabling efficient transactionsLeveraging Web3 for enhanced customer engagement and loyaltyiDeFi’s mission to educate and empower users in the Web3 spaceKey Takeaways:Web3 represents a paradigm shift in how we interact with the internet, moving from centralized control to decentralized ownership and transparency.
