Everything Rises and Falls on Leadership
Everything rises and falls on leadership - John C. Maxwell
That quote is one of my all-time favorites by John C. Maxwell, one of the top authorities on leadership in the world. Let's face it... everything truly does rise and fall depending on the leadership qualities of the team or the organization at hand.
If you stop to think about it, a company will either grow or die depending on who is in charge and what their core characteristics are. Anyone who has purchased a product or service in the past has done so because the leaders of that company helped create that customer experience for them.
Today I would like to highlight a couple gentleman who I think stand out from the crowd. They are out of the box thinkers who have a strong understanding of the power of blockchain technology. Those two gentleman are IJ Maha @steemcafe and Rick Miller @instructor2121. (and no, they did not slip me a $20 to say this)
Each of these guys have spearheaded a project many of you are familiar with called FreedomEx @freedomex. I had the honor of meeting IJ and Rick last year during our trips around North America for the Global Block Builders conferences. I can tell you first hand that these guys know how to lead, and they know how to lead well.
I talk about them in greater detail in the video, but basically I am proud to know these two leaders and call them my personal friends. They know how to do business, and at the same time they know how to foster relationships and create long-standing friendships.
Every company, project, or organization, no matter the size, will either rise or fall based on it's leadership. Leaders matter. They are the ship-steerers for lack of a better term. Solid leaders are the pioneers who are willing to do whatever it takes to see an idea come to life.
Lastly, I'm going to leave you with a bit of homework. For those of you who have leaders who have impacted your life in some way, shape, or form... tell them. Tell them what they have done to help move the needle in your life. Cheers and God bless.
Ken. It is an honor to meet you, work w/ you, & to call you my friend. You are an incredible example for the blockchain community of a person who is dedicated, hard working, kind, generous, & optimistic. @kenmelendez. -resteemed-

If the best people of the world have been whole because of all the leadership and do not give proper leadership, then any structure becomes impossible, so the right leadership is very important and without proper leadership, nothing can be possible without impossible impossible.
I created an account on FreedomEx and the site is not yet ready. The exchange is slow without liquidity.
I am a little deceived because I wanted to test the fiat gateway!
Go test it. The gateway is up.
Also, you will need to post your trades...liquidity doesnt appear out of thin air. It is up to the traders to make the markets and liquidity.
FreedomEx is fully functional for trading, deposits/withdrawals, and the fiat gateway!
Can a link my Canadian business account with your exchange, I want to test the fiat gateway in both directions.

It has been great to see how leadership has been created from the community despite the challenges of the last year. It shows what can be done with a great protocol and community behind it!
