In this episode we speak to Christian, the founder of Metalancers, as he discusses his background and experiences in the web3 space. He attended a top law school in the UK and briefly worked in finance before dedicating himself to web3 full-time. Despite launching a Solana project during a time of market collapse, Christian was transparent and did not "rug" his community, and he has since learned valuable lessons from this experience.

The interview focuses on the importance of taking a slow and methodical approach to building in the web3 space, as well as the advice that Christian has gained from his experiences. Metalancers, Christian's current venture, aims to revolutionize the comics industry and change the way NFTs are licensed.
