On our first episode of Season 7, we’re speaking with DeFi Beats aka Johnny Gabriele about how to not get rekt in crypto, why WAGMI is not dead, and his best pieces of advice for newcomers to the crypto and blockchain space. DeFi Beats is an advisor, investor, DeFi power user, good listener, and self admittedly terrible speller. He initially had his sights set on getting his PhD and becoming a professor, but when that plan fell through, he found himself in a unique job as part management consultant, part podcaster, and part therapist where he helped numerous people find solutions to problems they were facing across a wide spectrum of areas - from air conditioning to figure skating to life threatening medical conditions. Today, he has rechanneled his eagerness to help into helping onboard people to the blockchain space and saving people from getting rekt by their inner degenerate. He’s currently building out an AI chatbot called The Crypto Professor that’s designed to help newcomers learn about crypto and stay safe while exploring the space.
