Excited to share the first episode of my new podcast, Building Web3. This is an extension of my newsletter where I interview world-class product leaders and founders in crypto to uncover actionable and tactical advice to help you build, launch, and grow your own web3 products.
The first episode is with Yahya El Asmar, the head of product at @layer3.lens . In it, we discuss:
Problem statements, target users, and aha moments for Layer3
Big product changes, the motivations behind them, and measuring success
Doing things that don't scale and how to start scaling
Discord workflows for crypto products
Building for a growing crypto market
Building a product around the technical limitations of crypto
Progressive decentralization
Thanks for listening and if you find it valuable, please share!
