What Is Polkadot & Why It’s The Future of Web3 with Dan Reecer

Jorgenson’s Soundbox Episode 14: Dan Reecer

Today, my guest is Dan Reecer. Dan joined the crypto world 3 years ago instead of going to get his MBA, and is now VP of Growth for Acala, the Defi Network launching soon on the Polkadot Blockchain Platform. Don’t worry, all of those words get explained in the episode.

In this episode, I try to bring us all (myself included) from basics to applications of blockchain, and help us all see around the next few corners we’ll all go through together over the next decade.
