In our latest episode, host Robert Hackett (Robert Hackett) sits down with Bryan Pellegrino (Bryan Pellegrino (臭企鹅)), cofounder and CEO of LayerZero, one of the core infrastructure projects that enables blockchains to talk to one another. We talk about why crypto went multichain, what it means for crypto to compete with legacy financial systems, and a lesson Bryan took firsthand from Elon Musk. We also get into Bryan’s background as a professional poker player, and how that has shaped his views on competition, conviction, and focus. We go deep on founder psychology: – When founders must replace early leadership — and why no one talks about it – Why conviction matters more than advice – And why the hardest decisions are the ones no playbook prepares you for Here's a snippet from the conversation.
