Over 125 episodes of interviews with the most interesting founders, builders, & investors in web3

Ava Labs

J.M. Porup is the Chief Information Security Officer of Ava Labs (here in a personal capacity to talk security and web3). In this episode we discuss security differences within web2 vs. web3, how to think about security in web3 as an individual and as an institution, why being a CISO is about risk reduction (not risk elimination), and why security in crypto right now is like “fighting Mike Tyson with a blindfold on” (hint: it has to do with playing defense against actual nation-states—without governmental support).

Digital Power Optimization

Andrew Webber is the Founder & CEO of Digital Power Optimization. DPO helps owners and developers of power assets secure more value for their energy. They combine their expertise in cryptocurrency mining with partner expertise in power generation — offering Cryptocurrency Mining as a Service (CMaaS) to energy companies. In this episode we discuss the market dynamics of the cryptocurrency mining space, how DPO connects the dots for non-crypto-native energy industry players, and ultimately what the future of the space looks like over the next five-to-twenty years.
