"What Meeting Rick Has Brought Me"
The day I first met Rick still holds a special place in my memory during a post seminar conversation about βtrust in blockchain,β his ideas both surprised me and made me think deeply. Over time, we had the chance to collaborate on a project, where I witnessed his analytical mind and attention to detail up close. I still remember when we were preparing a presentation: while I was bothered by even the slightest inconsistency in the visuals, he calmly suggested, βIf we look at it from this angle, maybe this approach would give us more clarity,β offering a fresh perspective that stayed with me. His approach to people is always genuine, backed with the courage to admit mistakes, and he has a magnetic ability to create synergy within a team. Meeting Rick has enriched me not only professionally but also on a personal level.
