In this episode, we sit down with Gabriela Chang, co-founder of EthicHub, a blockchain-based platform connecting unbanked coffee farmers to global finance. Her journey from industrial designer to impact entrepreneur reveals how creativity can become a tool for inclusion and resilience.

Born in Chiapas, Mexico – a region rich in both biodiversity and cultural roots – Gabriela grew up believing that diversity and trust go hand in hand. That belief now drives her mission to redesign financial systems for those left out of them.

Together, Gabriela and Mat explore how trust can be measured, why transparency outperforms credit scores, and how farmers producing 80% of the world’s coffee can lead the next generation of sustainable finance. The conversation also touches on biodiversity, community resilience, and the possibility of a more responsible capitalism.
