Ryan Stober
Innovator and Improvement Coach
What drew me into the crypto space back in 2020? It was the
idea that things could change…for the better. A new, immutable financial system,
that could lift humanity to new heights? What a concept…precise imagination...evolution.
Yes, I was hooked almost immediately.
When I discovered ARC, I found a community who shared this
realization…and…have had many great experiences and made new friends. I discovered
I have a strong passion to open eyes and change minds. Sharing that enthusiasm
with this group has been the greatest part! I look forward to continuing this
quest with you all. This is not just about “number go up”…crypto is one of the
most human experiences you can have! It requires patience, research, emotional intelligence
and a willingness to pivot when plan A becomes plan B.
WE ARE GOING TO MAKE IT!
I look forward to connecting and making sure we all cross
the finish line together.

Jeordan Burkhart
Innovator and Improvement Coach
My name is Jeordan Burkhart, but you can also call me JB. I’m from a reasonably small town in Ohio, about 15 mins south of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Life outside of crypto for me consists of helping a
friend run his dog kennel, working on various jobs at home, or hanging out with my own dog, which a lot of you have probably seen in class. I started my journey with the ARC as a student in the first week of 2023. Since joining, I’ve treated learning about crypto and defi like it’s a job. My desire to learn and teach others about what is possible in crypto turned into a position on the ARC staff in November. While I may be the new kid on the block, I get down with a little bit of everything; liquidity pools, borrowing/lending, leveraged trading, airdrop farming, etc. Whether you need help getting started or you want to learn about something new, you’re in good hands. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to work with you.
Tom Frederick
Innovator and Improvement Coach
I am a father of seven, whose initial goal with cryptocurrencies was to provide legacy wealth and investment knowledge to my children. With over 30 years of experience, I am a master teacher and coach. My journey into cryptocurrency began with the ARC in 2021. As a savvy investor, mathematician, and natural rebel, I embraced DeFi with a vengeance. My deep dive into DeFi knowledge earned me the nickname 'ObiWan Crytobi' from Swami, humorously more for my resemblance to a certain actor than my crypto expertise at the time!
I've come to see that ObiWan Crytobi is more than just a name; it represents resilience, innovation, and guidance for those exploring the vast world of decentralized finance. My journey through this digital cosmos has been an odyssey of sorts, providing a beacon for others to follow. Initially attracted by the allure and promise of financial freedom, I soon grasped the significant implications and transformative potential of DeFi's mass adoption. This insight sparked my evolution from an enthusiast to a passionate advocate, coach, and guide.
My path has been fraught with challenges, from market volatility to the rise and fall of various projects, each teaching me valuable lessons and strengthening my resolve. Delving into the complexities of smart contracts, liquidity pools, and yield farming, I emerged as a seasoned veteran. Aware of the pitfalls within DeFi, such as scams, complexity, and barriers to entry, I've made it my mission to demystify DeFi for everyone.
I envision a world where financial empowerment is accessible to all, free from the clutches of centralized institutions. Combining my vast knowledge with a natural teaching ability, my coaching transcends tactics and
strategies, embodying DeFi's principles of transparency, inclusivity, and personal empowerment. My approach is holistic and patient, simplifying complex concepts into understandable lessons. I don't just share knowledge; I foster understanding, critical thinking, and prudence, enriching lessons with personal anecdotes as both warnings and inspiration.
My goal as a coach is to transform learning about DeFi into an exciting adventure towards financial independence, making it both enlightening and enjoyable.
