The gang is joined by COOL HUNTING creative duo and fellow SURROUND Podcast hosts, Evan Orensten and Josh Rubin, for a dynamic conversation on their journey from curious technologists in early Web2 to being 20 year vets chomping at the Web3 bit. Tune in as we dive into their insights about being early to building in a new space, the implications for A&D helping to design entirely new worlds, and consider rebranding the pod to make it ‘cooler’.
