In this special episode recorded live at the Blockchain Ireland Summit 2025, we’re joined by the ever-inspiring Dr. Lisa Cameron—President of The Financial Club and former UK MP—for a truly eye-opening and energising chat. From debating legislation in Parliament to leading global conversations on crypto regulation, Lisa has been at the heart of the blockchain conversation from the very start. And she brings that same passion and insight to our conversation on the podcast stage.

Lisa talks about her current work bringing together regulators, innovators, and lawmakers from around the world to help shape a future where blockchain can thrive. She shares stories from the summit floor, from conversations with founders forced to set up abroad due to red tape, to her ongoing mission to make the UK and EU more attractive for blockchain startups. With her work through The Financial Club and the UK-US Crypto Alliance, Lisa is leading the charge to create more open, collaborative, and future-focused regulatory environments.

But it’s not all policy talk—Lisa also lights up when talking about the real-world, human side of blockchain. From ensuring the authenticity of life-saving medicine, to giving people ownership of their health records, to helping MPs understand what tokenising property actually means (no, the houses don’t disappear), she makes a strong case for why this technology matters beyond the headlines. And through her efforts to educate lawmakers—literally taking them “back to school” at blockchain academies—she’s making sure decisions about the future are informed by real knowledge, not just buzzwords.

This episode is packed with heart, humour, and hope for what blockchain can be when the right people are in the room. If you care about where innovation meets impact, and how we can build bridges between visionaries and policymakers, this one’s not to be missed. Join us for a conversation that’s as insightful as it is inspiring.
