Today, I'm joined by Hamzah Khan, Head of DeFi at Polygon.
This episode is an inquiry into the secret internal dynamics that set Polygon apart in the blockchain ecosystem. Polygon is known for a run of incredible business development successes, including deep partnerships with Reddit, Starbucks, and OpenSea. But underlying this extraordinary BD is a unique ability to pragmatically manage multiple simultaneous projects. Polygon is an organization whose execution merits study. Together, Hamzah and I try to figure out how Polygon is able to build a crypto network that spans several generations of blockchain scaling technology, while also appealing to the biggest brands in the world.
This is one of my favorite episodes of the show so far. It's always a pleasure speaking with Hamzah, who is direct, funny, and personable. I learned a lot in this conversation. I hope you enjoy the show.
