Recorded Live from Veecon 2023!
Check out my sit-down interview with Jesse Pollak, founder at Base @ Coinbase. He leads their efforts to build, support, and integrate protocols into Coinbase products. This is a fantastic talk on Jesse's career journey into web3, and he unpacks "how it works" so that even my mom will understand it!
