  2. I Might Have Been Wrong About NFTS - As the edge lord of “often wrong and never in doubt,” I am here to potentially set the record straight and eat my words. I say “potentially” because if anybody can be wrong about one thing twice, it’sya boy! 

  3. Higher and Hire: Dynamic Work Cultures Attract Great Staff - If you create a company that promotes driving forward and learning from failure as integral parts of its way of work, you are likely to have a company that is going to attract those people you need.
