Hi my name is Leo Wezelius, I used to work with cows and seaweed, but now I'm on a mission to inform, educate, connect and onboard the growing nordic community of people interested in blockchain technology, NFTs and crypto onto Web3; a new and decentralized version of the internet, where users own their own data, global digital transactions are secure, and online exchanges of information and value are decentralized. An internet where community is at center stage, and the value and power that used to be monopolized by a few large companies, goes back to the community that created it.
I hope you enjoy the episode!
