Episode notes

- Erin described a bad first Web3 job where her comms work was ignored and the team collapsed after she advised them to change course.
- That false start pushed her back to Web2 briefly and taught her to pick projects with better governance and experience.

- Join structured communities to learn Web3 instead of only doing solo research.
