Yorke Rhodes Explains How Microsoft Is Leveraging Blockchain

Microsoft is a Web2 giant producing software, consumer electronics, personal computers, and related services.

Yorke shares his experience working at Microsoft in a strategy and transformation role in blockchain and Web3 technology, specifically focusing on producing a blockchain-based full-stack application within one of the largest supply chains in the world.

We dive into what Microsoft is doing within the blockchain space, how Microsoft is using NFTs internally, and the use-cases of Ethereum and IPFS inside the company.

We also talk about the different CEOs that have led Microsoft over the years and even get into the rumors of Google choosing their slogan "Don’t Be Evil" because of Microsoft.
