Drew From Goonz - Scaling a Fashion Business After Growing up in a Cult

We're excited to announce that the rest of Season Five is now powered by Towns! Built on Base and running on River, Towns is a decentralized and permissionless group chat app that allows anyone to create & own digital town squares on their own rules. Available on web and iOS with full end-to-end encryption, users can join or create feature-rich Towns with native on-chain gating, paid memberships and more with tons of exciting features & rewards coming soon. 

We'll also be doing a little collabing with our friends at SHILLR in a joint Town for our communities so make sure to tap in to get access to some Towns exclusive giveaways, rewards and more. Head to https://www.towns.com/ for more.
