I waited 4 years to interview @matthall2000, co-founder of @LarvaLabs (creators of the Cryptopunks, Autoglyphs and Meebits) and of course it happens during Art Basel after a few tequilas.
Loved the energy, what really stood out to me is the relationship between Matt and @NaughtalieStone, which shows you the synergy with Yuga Labs.
As someone who entered the industry via NFTs and whose goal was to own a CryptoPunk, this interview was an honour and I'm very grateful for it.
Hot take: Yuga is doing a good job with the Punks, but I will let you watch and get a feel for yourself.

Here is my full interview with @Bryan_Johnson!
It was a pleasure to dive deeper into Bryan's mindset and how he approaches life. Following the interview, I strongly believe he is misunderstood. You don't have to adopt his lifestyle, you just have to better your own one step at a time.
