The Intersection Podcast — Blockchain and Removing Creative Barriers (Episode 3)

“I’m very much drawn to a regret minimization framework. The mindset is, what would you regret more? Trying this and it not working out… or not trying it because you were scared, someone else does it, and they have the success that you should’ve had for yourself. What would upset you more at the end of the day?”

Ian Panchèvre graduated from Yale University undergrad and was then pre-admitted to both Harvard and Stanford business schools. He chose Stanford where he is studying design thinking, advanced technologies, innovation strategy, and technology entrepreneurship. He jointed Intuit’s Advanced Technology group where he lead its blockchain and distributed ledger technology research. Afterwards, he spent 14 weeks during the summer to travel to Europe on vacation, which soon turned into an entrepreneurial venture helping some of the local artists.

In this episode, we discuss how to remove your personal barriers that prevent you from starting a business or creating something. We’ll also dive into what it’s like to be a part of a blockchain team at a publicly traded company, and how Ian went to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland among the most prestigious world leaders, presidents, and CEOs in the world.

Ian Panchèvre is an entrepreneur who is currently studying at Stanford.
Here is a photo of Ian with Intuit’s previous CEO, Brad Smith.
Ian absolutely loves to travel. It’s one of the activities that inspires him to most to think about big world problems that he wants to solve.
