Anything from David Birch is worth the price of admission…just provides fascinating insight.
We booked Dave to come and speak at a company event, and what I was particularly delighted about was the number of people who aren’t technical by nature or role in Moneyhub who are now so keen to know more about biometrics, blockchain and AI – to the point where they’ve gone off to do more research!
The attraction of his work is the ease with which he ties together the technology, business, and societal viewpoints. Dave demystifies this often-complex world.
Many thanks Dave for your support and wisdom.
Dave Birch is one of a pretty small group of people who write sense about money and identity – and he is pretty much unique in doing so with wit and lightness of touch.
Thank you once again for being part of this and facilitating our workshop!
As you likely will not be surprised, they very much liked your framing and presentation. Breaking fluff down in an understandable manner and linking it to language and framing that they understand. Great communication!!
