We've all heard the buzz about blockchain, but do you really know what blockchain is or how it will change industries in the future?

On this episode of Innovation in the 'Burg, Alison helps answer those questions. She is joined in the studio by blockchain expert and associate professor at Lehman College, Sean Stein Smith. Smith was brought to St. Pete by the firm Gregory, Sharer & Stuart to talk to CPAs and clients about how blockchain will change the financial industry as they know it. Smith took the time to explain those changes in this long-form, easy-to-follow conversation.
