How to Hire or Land a Job in Bitcoin with Eric Podwojski and Andy Thompson (WiM308)
The "What is Money?" Show
The Power of Money
"I was an economics major in college, never used it, never went into accounting or anything like that. But I had this, like, small foundation where I thought I knew what economics meant," he says. "So the excitement to finally, like, mesh those two worlds, the fiat life, you know, my traditional experience with my Bitcoin obsession has been the best thing ever by far."
Andy Thompson and Eric Podwojski join me to discuss the pros and cons of a Bitcoin-only company, the emergence of Bitcoin VCs, and the current state of the Bitcoin recruitment industry. We also cover the impact of Bitcoin on future generations and the importance of live Bitcoin events.
Andy Thompson is one of the co-founders of the Bitcoin Talent Co., where he works as a recruitment manager and Eric Podwojski is co-founder of the Bitcoin Talent Co where he leads the business development team.
