Episode 23 — Join Brekkie for a conversation with two of Tantra’s co-founders, Ped Hasid & Tom Kivisto:

  • Drawing on his years of expertise, Tom gives us an update on global oil markets, sharing thoughts on the ongoing feud between the Saudis and Russians as well as the effects on the American oil industry.
  • From breaking apart computers and putting them back together, to starting his own IT company at 15, Ped tells us about his early days and how he got into Bitcoin and founded Tantra Labs.
  • We then tie the episode together with Ped & Tom’s infamous airplane story. Stuck on the runway for hours, with nothing to do but talk to each other, Ped introduced Tom to something called Bitcoin, and by the time they landed in LA, they were already planning to go into business together.
  • For more from Ped, follow him on Twitter & LinkedIn
  • For more from Tom, follow him on LinkedIn and read some of his thoughts, here on Medium.
