MMH - Should Sanctions Be Considered an Act of War? + Seven Day Work-Weeks, Healthcare Blockchain - with Neet Shah, Boaz Salik

In this episode of the Monday Mess Haul, we brought in both FischerJordan partners for a speculative discussion on some current hot-button issues, including: 

• Is the idea of financial services as an enforcement arm of political willpower a new/growing trend or just an emergency use case? 
• Given the potentially devastating impact of sanctions on a nation's economy, should sanctions themselves be considered an act of war and not just a "war-time measure?"
• Are five-day work weeks out and...seven-day work weeks in?
• What are the implications of healthcare successfully implementing blockchain technology at scale? 

The Mess Haul features a more free-form conversational approach with multiple participants than our more interview-focused style. This format is designed to generate quick takes on a handful of recent topics, facilitating shorter, more opinionated discussion with a number of different perspectives. Each episode of The Mess Haul is recorded, edited, and released in the same day. 

Today's guests: Neet Shah, Boaz Salik
