Wholesaling Inc with Brent Daniels
Find distressed properties for pennies on the dollar and turn them for huge profits!

The ideas aren’t focused on your success, it’s focused on theirs. Well, it doesn’t have to be that way.

Africa is quickly becoming one of the most dynamic regions for crypto adoption, but the story unfolding there is very different from what many in the West might imagine.
Chris Maurice, co-founder and CEO of Yellow Card, joins the show to share how stablecoins are already transforming businesses across the continent, solving real-world problems, and taking on SWIFT. Plus, he explains why USDT is the stablecoin of choice there.
He also dives into the long-term economic impact of crypto adoption and explains why anyone serious about business should be paying close attention to Africa.
Show highlights:
- What Yellow Card is and the focus on U.S. Dollar stablecoins
- The complexities of doing business in Africa
- Which African countries have the highest rate of adoption
- Chris’s background and his fun story of how he got into working in Africa
- How operating a company in Africa is different from other places
- Why Yellow Card is currently operating with three stablecoins, and the dominance of USDT
- Why Yellow Card only offers centralized stablecoins
- Why everyone should pay more attention to the continent, according to Chris
