Crypto is still the future, are you in or out? Today we discuss why the crypto market needed a reset, explain how to hack back your creativity, and divulge the secret to picking investments in a down market. Hosts Greg Isenberg and Sahil Bloom are joined by guest Li Jin, the mastermind behind the “passion economy,” the co-founder of Variant, and a fundraising savant, who was able to raise her first fund during the onset of the pandemic. Li shares the lesson investors (hopefully) learned from the fall of 3 Arrows Capital, Sahil depicts why creators must have passion for the products they build, and Greg shares the pitch story that is every founder's worst nightmare.
