My guest today is Nat Eliason, an Internet creator and writer of the new book, Crypto Confidential.

We also talked about the Olympus project, how he's built a career on being early and why he's devoting the next phase to writing. Please enjoy the wide range of conversation with Nat Eliason.

How Nat got into Crypto

Nat, thank you for joining me today. I'm excited to have you. I talked to lots of people in crypto, traders, builders, founders, investors. And usually, it's obvious how they made it into crypto. They were doing something adjacent, but you were running a marketing company. So I'm curious how you went from marketing company to crypto to writing a book about crypto.
