This episode explores how my views of Web3 and Blockchain have evolved since I started this podcast. It also sheds some light on why I decided to put things on hold indefinitely. If you want to know what I'm doing next, listen to the very end. 

In this episode, I chat with Keith Corbin, an Engineering and Product leader with decades of experience across multiple industries. Keith is also an executive coach with his own practice called Evolution Coaching. Evolution Coaching provides transformational leadership coaching to executives at various levels...so if that's of interest to you, I highly recommend him.

In addition, Keith is a mentor and a friend of mine. I wouldn't be doing this episode with anyone else.
