In the past few hours, we learned how PB is implemented in Africa, how to use numbers to change our mindsets, about the amazing work of PB Atlas, how PB can effectively be used around the world, and how to collaborate. 10 more hours of rich content! #FirstRootConference2022

1 1 = 2... or does it? What about 1 water drop 1 water drop? Just a bigger water drop. Context changes the answer. Think about that 🤔. Andrew Miller of @enjoybiz making us question things we thought were true. #FirstRootConference2022

In the first 8 hours of the #FirstRootConference, we learned about NFTs to fundraise for schools, to be a boring investor, how PB is run in CDMX, a healthy financial wellbeing model, about how to combat stagflation, and all about the various ways we can vote! More to come!
