nrc16 | The importance of service, gratitude and values with Valentin Popescu of Motiv Perú

<p>Valentin Popescu has a very big heart.</p> <p>You'll see what I mean as you listen to him talk about the people he serves in Perú through his NGO, Motiv Perú.</p> <p>Through Motiv Perú, Popescu not only raises funds in bitcoin but teaches those her serves how to use Bitcoin as a tool.</p> <p>However, he's the first to acknowledge that Bitcoin in and of itself doesn't fix everything. He understands that we need teachers to explain what Bitcoin is and how to use it. And even after teaching Bitcoin, he believes that we need to instill in people a sense of gratitude and a set of values that will help them thrive as they become empowered financially.</p> <p>Learn more about Motiv Perú and donate to the initiative here: <a href="https://motiv.ngo/">https://motiv.ngo/</a></p> <p>Follow Valentine on social media:</p> <p>X (Twitter): @motivperu</p> <p>Timestamps:</p> <p>0:00 Cold open</p> <p>0:53 Intro music</p> <p>1:08 Introduction</p> <p>3:44 Valentin's experience working with non-profits</p> <p>6:12 What attracted Valentin to non-profit work?</p> <p>9:25 How Valentin trains leaders</p> <p>14:17 The importance of service & Jonathan's story</p> <p>30:58 Is the support Valentin is providing sustainable?</p> <p>33:44 How Valentin learned about Bitcoin</p> <p>45:24 Motiv as a Bitcoin circular economy</p> <p>52:07 The process of adopting Bitcoin in Peru</p> <p>59:54 Education is essential for greater Bitcoin adoption</p> <p>1:12:58 How does Valentin support himself?</p> <p>1:17:47 The non-paternalistic approach to helping</p> <p>1:20:57 Where can we find Motiv and Valentine online? / Outro</p> <p>Listen and subscribe on the platform of your choice:</p> <p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@newrenaissancecapital">https://www.youtube.com/@newrenaissancecapital</a></p> <p>Apple Podcasts: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/new-renaissance-capital-w-frank-corva/id1696184407">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/new-renaissance-capital-w-frank-corva/id1696184407</a></p> <p>Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/7k6eUo3z5L5LEeP0Bo35SP?si=4eb4482b611c4983">https://open.spotify.com/show/7k6eUo3z5L5LEeP0Bo35SP?si=4eb4482b611c4983</a></p> <p>Google Podcasts: <a href="https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5saWJzeW4uY29tLzQ3ODYyNi9yc3M">https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5saWJzeW4uY29tLzQ3ODYyNi9yc3M</a></p> <p>Fountain: <a href="https://fountain.fm/newrencap">https://fountain.fm/newrencap</a></p> <p>Intro music by correspondents: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/45u2rj38rllskHPnIRUTl3">https://open.spotify.com/track/45u2rj38rllskHPnIRUTl3</a></p> <p>Subscribe to our newsletter: <a href="https://www.frankcorva.substack.com">https://www.frankcorva.substack.com</a></p> <h1 id="bitcoinbtclatinamericasouthamericaperuperngonongovernmentalorganizationnonprofiteducationeconomicsfinanceinspirationgratitudeservicevaluesvalueseducationmoneyhopeyouthorphanswidowsempowerment">bitcoin #btc #latinamerica #southamerica #peru #perú #ngo #nongovernmentalorganization #non-profit #education #economics #finance #inspiration #gratitude #service #values #valueseducation #money #hope #youth #orphans #widows #empowerment</h1> <p>Thank you for listening!</p>
