We've got one shot to make sure we have the right Congress for #DeFi and Matt West couldn't be more crypto native. He's the right candidate at the right time and all of crypto should be backing his candidacy against an anti-crypto candidate. 

We cover Matt's background as an Intel engineer and more importantly as a Yearn strategist / Solidity developer and his background from the earliest days of bitcoin. We couldn't get a more pure crypto candidate than Matt West. 

What are his chances?

What is his district like?

Why is he running this crazy race at this crazy time?

How he plans to win. 

What issues are important.

and much more. 

Matt is a delight and he deserves our support. I'd like to see an entire Congress filled with scientists and engineers.

One of the things I like to do with projects is to check in and see how things are going and the team at Beanstalk in the few months since our first interview has made amazing success. They've seen tremendous growth in every aspect of the project from team size to volume and much more and they've had great success with their tokenomics keeping $BEAN to peg. We discuss with Publius why they think things have gone so well, the lessons they've learned, and we discuss where they want to be short and long term. We also cover the value to investors in the protocol and the different ways they can earn and how they hope to make it even better in the future. This is a team firing on all cylinders and trying to create a truly decentralized project. It will be very interesting to see how they grow in the future.
