Alana was part of Seed Clubs' third accelerator with the project EVE wealth. In our conversation, we discuss the journey of first deciding to introduce web3 concepts to the EVE wealth community, concrete ways of scaling and decentralizing content creation and community work, and her thought process through the evolution of launching a token. 

We sit down with Jeff Kauffman, leader of JUMP, a community of marketing and advertising professionals from top agencies, brands, and startups that are passionate about web3. Nicole and Jeff met and came through the Seed Club second accelerator together and have been in this wild web3 space for almost a year.
