Highly Recommend

Excellent podcast. Chase is a great host and asks relevant questions to interesting and experienced guests.

Awesome perspective!

I’ve been going down the rabbit hole for months and always thought of web3 as a developer’s space. I’m excited to see more about the human side of things and begin to understand that web3 needs way more than just devs. Thanks, Chase!

If you’re going down the rabbit hole of Web3 definitely listen 🙌
