Corey Secord is today’s guest. A graduate of Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, Corey discovered Bitcoin in 2017 and immediately wanted to study it. He quickly realized he had to unlearn much of his university knowledge while simultaneously learning all about Bitcoin. Corey always had a love for sports and enjoyed wearing sports memorabilia as clothing, especially Toronto Maple Leaf jerseys, so during this Bitcoin education process, he naturally began looking for a Team Bitcoin jersey. He could not find one so decided to make one himself! During the podcast he tells how these events led him to starting and running his business, Hodlers Official, which is a Team Bitcoin merchandise company. Enjoy the podcast.
