When Chris Ebeling co-founded entertainment company Virtually Human back in 2018, Blockchain was just becoming popular. Since then, the company has raised $21M+ and their online horse racing game ZED RUN gained an impressive following. 
In this episode, Chris talks to Adam about his experience launching in the digital world and shares a few tips:  
Innovation comes with risks. Don’t be afraid to seek advice; be transparent and self-critical.
Nothing is permanent. If you believe in an idea, don’t overthink it — start making it a reality.
Involve the community. When your product is in beta, let your users weigh in on what is and isn’t working.
