This week we have the pleasure of chatting with David Derryck, serial entrepreneur. We met David in his role as Chief Impact Officer at SaverLife.org, a non-profit fintech that employs gamification and behavioral science to build savings habits for low to moderate income individuals. Most recently, David launched BuyBlack.org to drive traffic and revenue to Black-owned businesses using web3 tools. Today we talk about both.
