    It’s encouraging to see more people take up this new attitude of empathy and emotional intelligence. I’m a young person myself, but I hope I remember this lesson as I get older. Thank you for sharing your story.

      I think it will be useful to give more importance to storytelling again, especially in times when I am feeling lost it will have precious gems right there. And also I liked his personal way of adressing common concepts like “boundless ingenuity”, that terms are not of everyone. I sense he is a very thoughtful person and really dwindles between different arguments in his job. Also the sense of humor is an added value. Like adressing parents claiming to be above the other parents like two-spidermen pointing to each other, that stroke me haha. I sense he is really having fun right there

    Leadership is a verb, and it requires action. Don’t be limited by frameworks and titles. Get proximate to young people, change your language, and hold yourself accountable. Reject false choices and lean into the power of ‘and’. Foster empathy, community building, and storytelling. Stand with and follow the model of leadership demonstrated by young people to fulfill your responsibilities as a leader and stand on the right side of history.

    🔑 Key Insights:
    • Young leaders show remarkable adaptability, accountability, and ability to drive positive change
    • They focus on building community, empathy, and inclusive narratives – unlike many adult leaders stuck in partisan debates
    • Mohan learned from youth advocates to:
    ✨ Prioritize emotional intelligence over rigid management models
    ✨ Embrace the creativity and storytelling skills of young people
    ✨ Avoid either/or thinking and instead seek collaborative “and” solutions
    • To support young leaders, Mohan suggests:
    🤝 Hiring youth, attending their events, and listening to their perspectives
    🗣️ Changing how we describe effective leadership
    🔍 Reassessing recruitment and selection criteria

    The core message is that empowering young leaders is crucial for driving meaningful, equitable progress. By learning from their example, adult leaders can become more impactful.

Building trust in crypto with Jonathan Levin of Chainalysis | Equity Podcast

Late last week, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission chair Gary Gensler said that he was “proud to serve” the agency, which some are taking as a hint at an upcoming resignation. Gensler has faced heavy criticism for his crackdown on crypto, including a recent lawsuit from 18 states, and is likely to be replaced under President-Elect Donald Trump who has vowed to oust Gensler. On Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump is meeting with Brian Armstrong, the CEO of crypto exchange Coinbase, to discuss potential personnel appointments. 

This episode of Equity brings you an interview between Rebecca Bellan and co-founder and CSO of blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis, Jonathan Levin. The pair caught up at our Strictly VC event in New York shortly before the Gary Gensler news dropped to discuss the imminent change for crypto in the wake of the US election and Chainalysis’s choice to run its operations in the US. 

Equity is a show about the business of startups, where we unpack the numbers and nuance behind the headlines. New episodes drop every Wednesday and Friday. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
