Hi Guys my name is Tom from Melbourne Australia
Before the pandemic I used to travel the world (Sweden as well) playing music in a rock band. Now that is over I got into crypto and blockchain through Ivan’s Youtube channel and decided to take up this course and learn new skills to survive in a modern world. So far I am really enjoying it. Hope to meet new people and share the truth of crypto!
My name is John. I work in the Oil and Gas industry. I am interested in coding and learning more about the opportunities that these courses can provide.
Hi, I joined IOTA a couple weeks ago and want to learn as much as I can about cryptos. I am very interested in Dapps and am up to that section now in the course material. I have a background in middleware on Sterling Integrator and Dell Boomi. I look forward to talking to many of you.
Hey, I am Jiri! I have been in crypto for about 3 years, but didn’t find good quality informations in one place. I was looking for this all the time.
Ivan, Guys,
Thank you for having me!
The only thing I regret about joining the academy is that I started with the Premium plan instead of the Professional plan… Something I will have to fix at the end of this month!
PS: I usually don’t trust anyone on YouTube and always aware when someone is just trying to sell me a course (99.9% of people with big following and daily videos and automated email marketing). I truly believe that I might have found the 0.1% so I am here!
Hi Ivan and everyone in this community! 
I’m Alejandra from Perú. I just started learning about blockchain a couple of days ago so I’ll do my best.
I’m glad to have found Ivan’s channel and join in this great community! 
Hi, my name is Rob. I was an option trader and broker on the floor of the CME. With Covid, 99% of the trading floor is closed and I am currently unemployed. Love crypto and believe it is the future, not really sure where I can fit in here. I hope that one day I can go full time crypto.
Hello,
My name is Josh and I live in the US. Spend half my time in Montana and the other half in Alaska. Started investing into crypto about 6 months ago and just want to learn as much as I can now and maybe be able to go full time crypto at some point.
Hi everyone! My name is Jorden and I have been in crypto since 2017. When I started off I didn’t really know what I was doing and made all the mistakes that beginners make. Now I probably still don’t know what I’m doing, but I love this technology and am very pasisonate about the cool implications it will have on our life. I work in traditional finance, but would love to make to switch to the blockhain industry. That’s one of the reasons that I am hear to learn as much from the courses and ofcourse all of you. Happy to share my experiences and insights as well on the forum wherever I can.

Hi everyone
My name is Al, I am from Australia and work in finance. I have been in crypto since mid 2017 and it has been my passion ever since.
Since my mind is mostly in crypto these days I thought why not also have a full time career in crypto?
I am looking to brush up my knowledge on blockchain and also looking forward to learning programming. I’ll see you all around and happy to be part of this community 
Al
Hi
Looking to use skills for creating efficient payments for merchants I interact with daily.
Legacy financial systems will catch up at some point and it would be nice to be in the middle of a more efficient system
thanks
Welcome and I’m new here too. This is my first post. We had the same train of thought regarding why not also have a full time career in crypto.
Good luck in your endeavors!
Hi! My name is Toby and I’m looking forward to learning more about Blockchain and programming smart contracts, Defi, etc.

I’m located in Canada.
Hey Everyone
My name is Charlie and I’ve been following the crypto wave avidly for the past 3 years and I am now looking for an entry level job in the crypto space.
With a background in marketing my toolkit covers social media, copywriting and content generation. A few years back I was lucky enough to develop my entrepreneurial instincts at a VC-funded tech startup specialising location technology. After that I decided to take a year off and go travelling around South Asia where I spent my time volunteering, teaching English and learning how to surf pee-rollers (very badly). It was while I was travelling that I began to read about Bitcoin in my spare time and I’ve been stacking Satoshi’s ever since. My interest in crypto quickly became a passion and I now find myself here in this wonderful community ready to learn from you all!
Please feel free to reach out and connect, I look forward to chatting all things crypto with you.
Cheers,
Charlie

Hi Everyone,
My name is Jason Mack. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English, from the University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh; a Master’s of Arts in Teaching and Learning with Technology from Ashford University; and a Doctorate in Industrial/Organizational Psychology and Organizational Leadership with a Specialization in Educational Leadership from the University of the Rockies.
I currently teach psychology courses at the College of DuPage and Digital Literacy courses and study skills courses at Ashford University. I also run my own consulting company(https://skillrocket.pro/) in higher education and leadership. I am 100% self employed and when I am not teaching or running my consulting company, I do gig work. I have worked for myself for about a year, and now I am pursuing my education in Blockchain.
I grew up in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, a town of about 60,000 people. I am a Green Bay Packers fan. My first job ever was in pushing shopping carts in high school with temperatures sometimes below freezing, and bagging groceries. I moved to California in 2003, shortly after graduating with my Bachelor’s degree. Presently, I live in the Chicago Suburbs with my wife. We have been married for five years and do not have any children. I am a downhill skier and I have been skiing since I was three years old. I like to ski double and triple black diamonds.
I have posted a link to where I have my published book/dissertation (Faculty Work Family Conflict and Faculty Intention to Resign) and where I write articles.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jason Mack
Hi everyone!
I am a professional developer working in the fintech payments industry. I have been interested in blockchain technology for years but have only recently been ‘red pilled’ as they say.
I am currently studying a masters degree in computer science and it is my goal to work full time in this exciting and ever changing crypto industry.
When I can find spare time outside of being a crypto nerd, I am into running, mountain biking, snowboarding and Muay Thai Kickboxing.
I look forward to engaging with the community here at Ivan on Tech Academy.
