Grant sat down with Arbitrum CMO - Andrew Saunders to chat about all things Off-chain labs, Arbitrum, DeFi, NFTs, Arbitrum Nova, and sneaky marketing tactics good and bad.

Interview with Jack Niewold | That LUNA EXPOSE Thread | Do Kwon, CULT LEADERS and founder archetypes
Grant sat down with Jack Niewold who is a good friend within the industry. We had been meaning to have a catch-up for a while and thought it would be fun to record the session. We chatted about the LUNA Expose thread that created a bitter-sweet I told you so moment. Terra and its downfall and what happened in the aftermath. What is next for the crypto pragmatist, where can we go as an industry, learning from cult figures, writing in a bear market and finding time to yourself. It was a great conversation and I really appreciate Jack. The whole Terra thing was a shitshow and he was one of the first people to point out that something was up. For better or worse the industry needs to be open to discussion on lots of different viewpoints not just ones with bias.
