This week LUNA and it's stablecoin UST blew up and took down the entire crypto market.  Nick talks with the founder and writer of http://solsweet.co/, Toby Johnston, to break down all the madness.  This story has a little bit of everything:  Financial warfare, conspiracy theories, Citadel (the villains from the GameStop series), George Soros and the Bank of England, and an economic fallout to the tune of hundreds of billions.  If you're interested in crypto, you don't want to miss this one.

In this episode, we talk with Danavir Sarria.  Danavir is an e-commerce, SEO, SMS, and email marketing expert who works with 7-8 figure DTC brands.  We dig into his strategies for building his own d2c brand from scratch, https://rooftopsquad.com --- and we couldn’t let him go without getting his advice for growing our own businesses.  Davavir gave us a bunch of immediately actionable advice, so I know you’ll find this one helpful.
