Shownotes

This episode of Unraveling Crypto is a little different than our usual conversations with brilliant leaders in the bitcoin, crypto, and web3 space. Today we bring you Vane’s take, a new feature of the podcast where our host Vane Vargas shares a little more behind the scenes on what she’s up to, her experience in the space, and her takes on varying issues and topics.

In this first solo episode, Vane sat down to share more about her background in marketing and wellness, the journey from Colombia to Miami, how losing $11,000 in a sour crypto deal was a catalyst to diving down the crypto rabbit hole, and what inspired her to create the Unraveling Crypto podcast.

Meet Our Host

Vane Vargas is an entrepreneur, wellness coach, and bitcoin and web3 educator and guide walking the path of self-mastery and empowering the sovereign woman to explore the next era of technology while leading a life of beauty and wonder. With a background in wellness, business, marketing and social media, Vane brings a richly textured perspective on what it means to demystify the sometimes bewildering world of web3, blockchain, and cryptocurrency.

Thinking she would need to start from ground zero when it came to crypto, Vane quickly realized that her ‘real world’ skills were transferable, and is now passionate about helping women break the rules, close their knowledge gaps through easy conversations, and expand their understanding of financial literacy to include the incredible value that web3 brings.
