Episode notes

I think there's a lost decade for crypto. I think all the interesting stuff that happened in the first three or four years, you know, 2009, 10, 11, 12, Bitcoin starts emerging and other projects. But then it got so derailed by the just massive influx of money. People really did suspend disbelief, put too much money into it. We need to get into reality building mode more than anything. Lemon.io will find you the perfect candidate in 48 hours. They're a marketplace of engineers from Europe. And if it doesn't work out, they'll replace the developer right away.

Today, Acquired’s David Rosenthal joins us. We discuss their recent Climate Pledge Arena Show (1:37), the new fundraising environment, and what the best founders and VC firms are doing (21:29), and we dig into the New York Times' latest hit piece on Glossier CEO Emily Weiss (37:40). We wrap with an optimistic look at what Australian billionaire and Atlassian CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes is doing to take on Australia's biggest polluter (1:00:59).
