We start our conversation by getting a little insight into Zoe’s background, which is quite unique and unusual but also lends itself quite well to the work she’s doing today in privacy and human agency. She shares the ways in which her past **humanitarian work** in conflict zones and developing nations opened her eyes to issues around surveillance capitalism and how she had her first big realization of how crypto can change individuals’ lives in meaningful ways when she met a group of **Bitcoin miners** in Iraq during the Mosul conflict when Iraq successfully took back the city of Mosul from the Islamic State. We then dive into some big topics around **agentic tech**, including user control, consent, privacy, and online (and onchain) data sharing. Zoe envisions a world where humans have full agency over how their information and data are used and we talk about what it might take for us to get there.
