Episode 97: David Markley & Anna Popova

In this episode, Anthony talks with David Markley, Senior Director of Business Solutions at Algorand, and Anna Popova, Vice President for Delivery at Globant and leader of Globant’s Be Kind Tech Fund.

First conversing with David, Anthony seeks to explore Algorand’s world’s first Pure Proof of Stake (PPoS) blockchain that provides security, decentralization, and scalability in an eco-friendly, sustainable way. Together, David and Anthony discuss whether other blockchain networks follow the lead of Algorand’s sustainable technology and carbon neutrality, and the recent news that FIFA named Algorand as an official blockchain partner before the World Cup competition taking place this November in Qatar.

Anthony then discusses Anna Popova’s role as co-lead of Globant’s new Be Kind Tech Fund, diving into examples of the misuse of technology, the spread of misinformation, and online “fake news”, as well as chewing over the philosophical debate that arises from the overuse of technology and the effect it can have on our mental, and physical health.
