Welcome to Episode 2 of our new series, "Only Projects". In this episode we chat with Chris Sinclair about Customer Experience and how it's important for projects. We learn that it's all about experiences, different approaches for understanding your customer journeys and that its not just external clients that projects should be mindful about.

Chris also plays an important role the Aus DeFi Association in that he has been integral with gettin our audio visual setup for meetups, events and podcasts. He's also a member of the venture studio, NotCentralised which we heard about in Episode 1 and this time the tables are reversed with Mark from that team taking on interviewer duties.

Digital Village also have a great podcast called "That DV Show" which you can check out below.

Stay tuned for more interviews like this in this series.

Welcome to Episode 1 of a new series we are calling "Only Projects". As the name implies, it's all about the projects in the web3 space and for the first few episodes we're going to focus on the services and people out there helping these projects come to life.

We created this series to give the builders and people involved in projects a voice so that they can share their experience and wisdom and hopefully you as the viewer gets to learn something from this.

In this first episode we chat with Mark Monfort, co-founder of NotCentralised which is a web3 venture studio and a major sponsor of the Australian DeFi Association. We learn about how NotCentralised came to be, what services it provides and more.

Thanks to Chris from Digital Village for hosting this interview.
