Like many others, I've been down the rabbit hole of crypto and web3 over the past year or two. I've met some fascinating people doing what I can only describe as some next level shit as they explore new ways of building communities, creating new business models and generally exploring what's possible with blockchain and tokenomics.

Today, I'm speaking to Pedro Oliveira (CEO) and Filipe Macedo (CMO), co-founders of Talent Protocol. They're old friends who, after pursuing separate careers since they left university, have come together over the last couple of years to create a start-up whose vision is to enable high potential talent to create an on-chain resume, launch their own token, and start building the support network they need to succeed.

We discuss what led the two of them to web3 and the genesis of the idea behind Talent Protocol, the role communities have played in supporting their careers, and why their vision is to create an interoperable and user-owned social network that values the quality of connections more than the number of followers.
