This course was an invaluable opportunity to learn from the first-hand experience of the instructors and guest speakers who have experience leading the implementation of blockchain projects in industry, and investing in some of the top blockchain companies. My classmates each brought diverse and rich experiences to the candid and free-flowing discussions in class - ranging from companies with big tech experience, to financial institutions and government agencies. Some of the more experienced classmates previously held C-Suite positions in banks, or come with decades of experience in the financial services and capital markets industry. As someone early in my career, it was such an eye opening experience learning from not just the instructors, but also the classmates. After completing the course, I immediately saw opportunities to apply the knowledge back at work on Monday.
