John Wolff joins us to discuss how Tontachi.io is bringing AR gaming onto blockchain.

John is a Detroit-native, seasoned game developer. During his career he worked as a Data Scientist while becoming bilingual in Japanese and running his own studio called Urban Electronics. He recently spent 4+ years in Japan, using the language to overcome cultural barriers to effectively conduct business. As a developer he worked on Japan\'s first ever "blockchain game" in 2017, burgeoning as a "game economist". Now John focused on Augmented Reality (AR), merging it with blockchain to create new video game experiences that incorporate a "play to earn" model.
