Founder, The BlkChain | VP Community, Science Magic Studios
Today we’re joined by Sian Morson, founder of The Blkchain & VP of Community at Science Magic Studios.
This episode covers a lot of ground, but is particularly focused on two topics: diversity & community. What does Web3 offer to marginalized voices? What are the main barriers to entry? How do we avoid groupthink to establish healthy communities? For all this and more, be sure to watch (or listen) all the way through.
Enjoy!
