Welcome to another episode of the Digital Banking Podcast.

My guest today is Edwin Mata, the CEO and co-founder of Bricken.

Have you ever been to the doctor and had a super long conversation where they use a lot of words that you know what they mean, but the order in which they use them, coupled with probably a handful of words you've never heard and probably couldn't pronounce if you saw them on a sheet of paper, makes it so that you have no clue what they're saying.

And then at the end of it, you finally realize they're just telling you your arm hurts and you should probably rest it.

So many times specialization in certain areas gives us a different level of understanding.

And then trying to relate that to someone else can be a challenge.

Complex topics need simplification to really scale.

Now Edwin started his career as an M ⁇ A lawyer, but he loved the challenge of solving the moving puzzle.

He's also always been a technologist at heart, although in the past that manifested itself more as a tinkerer of tech gadgets and games.

But when an opportunity arose to get into the startup tech world, solving legal, regulatory, and technology challenges, Edwin got excited.

But being able to solve problems in a really complex field and trying to simplify the concepts, challenges, and opportunities into strategies and roadmaps was something worth chasing.

I'm really looking forward to this conversation with Edwin about his perspectives on the impacts of tokenization on global markets and banking and how something that not too long ago was too complex is now having real world implications.

So with that, Edwin, welcome to the show, sir.

I really appreciate the lead-in of we're talking about some fairly complex topics.

And I'll be the first one to admit this is not my area of specialty, right?

But it's something that we talk a lot about is the impacts of tokenization and of blockchain.

And there's a lot of talk, but I think especially for a lot of folks in the US community banking space, there's not a lot that's actually happening, right?

So where's the disconnect?

What's being built?
