We had the good fortune of connecting with Learwinson Jackson and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Learwinson, is there something you can share with us that those outside of the industry might not be aware of?
One thing about blockchain, in relation to the financial industry, that people who aren’t into blockchain are probably unaware of is the concept of decentralized finance (DeFi). DeFi refers to a set of financial applications and services built on blockchain technology, which aim to provide traditional financial services in a decentralized manner. These services include lending, borrowing, trading, and asset management, which are all able to be conducted without intermediaries like banks or financial institutions. This changes the game because this means that opportunities in blockchain are for everyone, no matter race, gender, or economical status! DeFi truly holds the potential to disrupt traditional financial systems by offering greater accessibility, transparency, and also potentially reducing costs for users.
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Being an educator in blockchain involves sharing knowledge and insights about this disruptive technology with others. It means teaching individuals, especially the youth, about the fundamental concepts, applications, and potential impact of blockchain in various industries.
Being involved in blockchain sets you apart from others because it positions you at the forefront of a rapidly evolving field. By having expertise in blockchain, you become equipped to navigate and understand the intricacies of decentralized systems, smart contracts, cryptography, and other related concepts. This knowledge can give you a competitive edge in the job market and open up opportunities in industries that are adopting blockchain technology.
Personally, I am proud and excited about educating the youth on blockchain because it equips them with the necessary skills and knowledge to thrive in the future. By introducing them to blockchain early on, we empower them to be prepared for the changes and advancements that will shape our world. It’s a way of ensuring that they have the tools to be successful and make informed decisions in an increasingly blockchain-driven society.
Getting to where I am today with knowledge in blockchain and other areas is attributed to my dedication of time and consistency in research and application. I have invested countless hours in studying blockchain technology, reading research papers, attending conferences, and engaging with the blockchain community. It has been a continuous learning journey, and I believe that progress is only achieved through struggle, learning, and growth.
Overcoming the challenges of this process is not easy, but having solid mentors and a passion for understanding blockchain’s integration into the world has helped me tremendously. Mentors provide guidance, support, and valuable insights that accelerate learning and development. Additionally, my passion for blockchain has been a driving force, fueling my curiosity and commitment to unraveling its potential.
It is crucial for the world to understand the importance of blockchain and its potential effects on our future. Blockchain has the power to revolutionize industries such as finance, supply chain, healthcare, and more. It offers transparency, security, and efficiency, reshaping the way we interact and conduct transactions. By spreading awareness and knowledge about blockchain, we ensure that individuals are prepared for the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.
Finally, I encourage everyone to tune in live to the “Rap N’ Crypto” show every Wednesday at 9pm on the P2GNETWORKSTV YouTube page. This show provides a unique and engaging platform to understand the latest happenings in the world of blockchain and cryptocurrency. By joining the show, you can gain valuable insights, interact with experts, and deepen your understanding of this transformative technology.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
So if my best friend was visiting for a week-long trip here in Dayton, Ohio, this is a detailed itinerary created with the purpose of showing my best friend a really great time! Dayton, Ohio may not be everyone’s choice for fun and a good time, but I can guarantee this itinerary will not leave any disappointment.
So for Day 1, we will focus on celebrating my friends arrival and began our exploration of Dayton! So after arriving in Dayton and checking into their hotel, we will start our adventure by visiting the National Museum of the United States Air Force. This museum is an awe-inspiring museum that showcases the history of aviation. After doing this, later in the evening, we will head over to enjoy the Oregon District. The Oregon is a vibrant neighborhood filled with eclectic shops, restaurants, and bars. There we will enjoy a delicious dinner at one of the local eateries and after we will explore the unique boutiques. Lastly, if my friend would like, we will finish the evening by visiting one of the bars, in order to have a celebratory drink for their safe arrival.
On day 2 we will focus on places and things that explore the culture and history of the Dayton area. We will start the day with a visit to Carillon Historical Park, which offers a fascinating glimpse into Dayton’s history. There we will explore the museum exhibits, historic buildings, and beautiful gardens. After that fun experience, for lunch, we will head over to eat at one of the iconic Marion’s Piazza locations.

The Dayton Art Institute is a world-class museum featuring an impressive collection of art from various periods and cultures! Following this visit we will start the end of the day with a relaxing stroll along the scenic RiverScape MetroPark, situated along the Great Miami River. Once the evening stroll at Riverscape is completed we will head over to brown street and enjoy dinner at one of the amazing restaurants on the strip. The choice of restaurant will be left up to my friend, but if I had to make a strong suggestion then it would be my personal favorite, Penn Station East Coast Subs!
Going into day 3 we would do more outdoor adventures. We would embark on an exciting day at the Five Rivers MetroParks! But, in order to start the day off right we would go to grab a filling breakfast from the Pancake House. Then we will head over to Five Rivers MetroParks which is a network of interconnected parks offering abundant opportunities for outdoor activities. We would chose from the enjoyment of hiking, biking, or kayaking in scenic locations like the Germantown MetroPark or the Huffman MetroPark. After rapping up with our exploring and enjoyment of Five Rivers, we will grab a quick snack/lunch at one of Dayton’s food trucks, which offer a variety of cuisines and flavors. After take some time to relax and after potentially taking a quick power nap, in the evening, we will head over to the Fraze Pavilion for some entertainment. The Fraze is an outdoor amphitheater that hosts tuns of concerts and live performances. We will also be able to eat dinner at The Fraze because they have concessions with lots of amazing foods to chose from!
On day 4 we will start the day off focusing on Aviation and Innovation. We will visit the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park. This park is dedicated to the Wright brothers and their groundbreaking achievements in aviation. After enjoyment and education at this park we will head over to explore the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery. This is a family-friendly museum featuring interactive exhibits focus on science and nature. After a fun adventure to the Boonshoft we will eat a late lunch/early dinner at the Pine Club. This is a legendary steakhouse known for its mouthwatering steaks and classic ambiance. After our meal we will end the day with a visit to the Dayton Dragons Minor League Baseball Stadium, where we will catch a game and be able to enjoy the experience of the lively atmosphere!
For Day 5 we will heavily focus on Dayton’s Culinary Delights! Yes that means a day filled with food! To start the day we will visit the 2nd Street Market, a bustling indoor market offering fresh produce, artisanal products, and delicious food options. There we will enjoy a leisurely breakfast/brunch. Next up on the list of places for the day, we will take a guided food tour in the Oregon District, where we’ll go around and sample a variety of local flavors and specialties from the area’s best restaurants and eateries. Later that afternoon/evening when gaining some room in our stomach, we will head over to both the Dayton Beer Company and Warped Wing Brewery. At these establishments we will be able to experience Dayton’s vibrant craft beer scene! This should create an eventful and enjoyable evening!
On our last day full day of activities, we will focus on exploring nearby attractions. First we shall take a trip to the nearby city of Yellow Springs, known for its artistic vibe and natural beauty.
