    In this episode we speak with Darren Deanto, Chase Whipple and David Holt who are a group of experienced builders in the crypto space.  We discuss their personal journeys into crypto and what motivated them to build their careers in blockchain.

Also, Chase just placed in a Solana Hackathon for creating a protocol called Seagull finance that seamlessly allows you to spend your crypto from your wallet with a debit card. We cover a lot of ground and one of the highlights of our conversation is our discussion of the benefits of crypto and decentralized systems and how they are ultimately more advantageous business models for end consumers.
