So imagine you have an emergency, you need this money right away. Sometimes you can get the money right away, but it's going to cost you even more.
So it could be up to 20 percent of the transaction costs. If you're sending money to other places, and if you're sending money to relatives who live in, say, a third world country, you know that makes a big difference and how much funds and can help stimulate the economy.

Yes, absolutely. I'm excited to have you as well too. And before we jumped into the interview, I want to read a little bit more about Brianna so you can hear about all the awesome things that she's been working on.
Brianna is the president and CEO of the Interledger Foundation, or ILF, a nonprofit organization committed to expanding digital financial inclusion to vulnerable populations. ILF invests in organizations, communities, and entrepreneurs working towards the shared goal of enabling interoperable and frictionless payment around the globe.
In her role, Brianna leads the strategic vision of the organization and has grown ILF from a small team of three to a workforce of change-makers all across the globe.
Having firsthand experience and the challenges associated with navigating inequitable and inaccessible financial systems. Brianna understands how imperative it is to enable communities within opportunity to create and lead their own financial futures.
In recognition of her work at ILF she has been nominated as a finalist for Finnovates 2023 Executive of the Year Award and named as a Changemaker on the International Black Heritage Month's inaugural list. in a recognition of individuals disrupting the status quo and advancing inclusions.
And some fun facts I found about Brianna was that she's from Detroit, but she's lived in many places and was briefly a digital nomad, which I thought was pretty cool.
We talked a little bit and we're, we're connecting over our being both dog parents, her dog's name is Seamus. And I have to do any shout out. I get the opportunity to talk about any other dog parents.
But I really love when I was reading an interview, she said something that really stuck with me, where she said, inclusion should be an expectation, not an invitation.
Every leader in every field benefits from ensuring inclusivity is woven into the DNA of their organization. It is proven across the board that genuinely inclusive organizations perform better. So I love that because that speaks to all the awesome things you're doing. Brianna, I appreciate your time. Are you ready to speak to the I Am CEO community?
