Callum is joined today by Simon Smith. Simon is the founder of Excalibur.fm and a sage on all things Web3.

On 11th November 2022, FTX, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, filed for bankruptcy. Overnight, CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (then a 30-year old billionaire) went from crypto's darling to public enemy number one. Bizarrely, 'SBF' (as Sam was universally known) made the somewhat dubious decision to live Tweet the collapse of his company.

According to Chris (@castig), the core pillars of Web3 are decentralization, self-custody and building-in-public. Given many of us take those tenets for granted, isn't it weird that so much of Web3 community revolves around a centralized, privately owned and opaque platform like Discord?

In Web3, the metaphor of being 'pilled' refers to experiencing an epiphany of Web3's potential, and the burning desire to contribute to the development of this ecosystem. This epiphany is what led today's guests, Neal Rushton-King and Paddy Vance, to turn their backs on multi-decade careers at some of the world's most prestigious blue-chip companies.

Instead, Neal and Paddy are using a wealth of experience to build MIN3, a Web3 native consultancy disrupting outdated industries with new technology.

We've all been there. You find out about a new DAO or a new Web3 project, get excited and dive into the Discord to find out more.

Every DAO has a different structure, different terminology and different rules. Getting up to speed can be overwhelming.

If Web3 itself is controversial, no topic is more controversial than the concept of Crypto-Anarchism.
