00:01.590 --> 00:03.420
Johny Fernandez: So far being
here, what have you seen? What

00:03.420 --> 00:06.900
have you observed so far about
just the come back in the space?

00:07.530 --> 00:10.410
Justin Novak: Well, first of
all, it's good to be back, here

00:10.410 --> 00:14.220
live with people, you know,
we've all been kind of cooped up

00:14.220 --> 00:17.670
stuck at home past 12 months and
some change. So it's just good

00:17.670 --> 00:22.260
to be back and meeting new
people. And feeling like, you

00:22.260 --> 00:26.070
know, a lot of innovation
happening in the space, I'm new

00:26.070 --> 00:30.690
to the payments world, I come
from an e-commerce background.

00:30.870 --> 00:33.900
And so there's just so much to
learn, which is it's

00:33.900 --> 00:34.770
fascinating.

00:35.370 --> 00:37.350
Johny Fernandez: So as someone
that's new, and that's, you

00:37.350 --> 00:42.330
know, still under the age of 30,
let's walk us through, like, how

00:42.330 --> 00:44.820
have you seen the younger
generation kind of walking in

00:44.970 --> 00:46.350
and taking over the space?

00:48.510 --> 00:50.779
Justin Novak: They, I mean,
they're brilliant, you know,

00:50.833 --> 00:53.859
they're motivated, they're
hungry. And I think there's a

00:53.913 --> 00:57.425
lot we can learn from them. Even
me being 28. And I have a lot of

00:57.479 --> 01:00.775
mentors that are older than me,
but I also have, like cousins

01:00.829 --> 01:04.071
and friends and colleagues who
are younger than me that I've

01:04.125 --> 01:07.367
realized there's so much to
learn from them and just the way

01:07.421 --> 01:08.880
they think about the world.

01:08.880 --> 01:11.047
Johny Fernandez: And what advice
would you give someone that's

01:11.095 --> 01:14.033
looking to get into the space
that's either completely new to

01:14.081 --> 01:16.923
the whole concept of it, or
someone that's young and that's

01:16.971 --> 01:17.790
trying to get in?

01:18.510 --> 01:21.714
Justin Novak: Yeah, there's so
much change happening in this

01:21.784 --> 01:25.755
space and there's so many
opportunities to to find a work

01:25.825 --> 01:29.935
environment that's, that's
suitable for you. I feel back in

01:30.005 --> 01:34.394
the day, traditional finance, it
was very what's the word? Like

01:34.464 --> 01:38.644
it was, tt wasn't for everyone.
But nowadays, with like, say

01:38.714 --> 01:42.964
crypto, you know, it's it's more
open minded, so maybe that's

01:43.033 --> 01:46.726
more suitable for you. And
there's a lot of different

01:46.795 --> 01:50.976
shades in between traditional
finance and crypto. So I think

01:51.045 --> 01:54.599
you know, there's something out
there for everyone.
