Brooklyn Moore is a fascinating person we were introduced recently. She has some interesting perspectives from whole bunch of unique experiences from her upbringing in the bay being born of "Jamaican Gypsies" to her work as a Dancer and Professional Poker player. She's very into Painting, Movement meditation, Crypto, and herbal medicine and Tea.

This was a really interesting conversation that ranges from lessons that we can learn from playing poker and letting go of our attachments to results to some of the ways that cryptocurrencies can connect the abstract world of computers to the physical world and help democratize the money system.
