At first, blockchain seemed very intimidating. In fact, I was so uncomfortable with the technology that I had asked my wife to go online, read what blockchain was about, and tell me what it actually was. Not one to mince words, she drew me a diagram that involved boxes, arrows and money symbols, things I could totally understand, and so my career in blockchain started that evening. Eventually, I had progressed to being a CBDO of a blockchain development firm. Outgrowing this position, I had developed my own network in the industry and decided to form my own marketing and development company.
起初，区块链看起来非常吓人。事实上，我对这项技术感到非常不适应，以至于我让我的妻子上网，阅读区块链的内容，并告诉我它到底是什么。由于很难用语句说明，於是她给我画了一个包含盒子、箭头和金钱符号的图表，这些都是我完全能理解的东西，所以我在区块链的职业生涯就在那天晚上开始了。最终，我已经成为了一家区块链开发公司的CBDO。在这个职位之后，我在业内发展了自己的人际网络，并决定成立自己的营销和开发公司。

Eventually, having a temperament of an entrepreneur, I got very attracted by then booming DeFi sector. It seemed at the time (this was around 2020), that DeFi was the hottest start-up sector out there, and that the opportunities were endless. Seeing the possibility to make a real impact, I convinced my very hesitant partners to come in with me into my new venture and back it as early investors. In doing so, I had converted my agency at the time into an incubator for new blockchain projects.
最终，具有企业家气质的我，被当时蓬勃发展的DeFi行业吸引。在当时（大约是2020年），DeFi似乎是最热门的初创行业，而且机会是无穷无尽的。看到了产生真正影响的可能性，我说服了我非常犹豫的合伙人和我一起进入我的新企业，并作为早期投资者。在此过程中，我把我的机构变成了区块链新项目的孵化器。

None of us are able to achieve success without some help along the way. Is there a particular person who you are grateful towards who helped get you to where you are? Can you share a story about that?
没有帮助，我们没有人能取得成功。有没有你感激的人帮助你达到了现在的位置？你能分享关于这的一个故事吗？

My wife Gail has been an incredible source of support and inspiration. I think I have shared at least two stories here about her, one involving her telling me what blockchain was, and the other about how she told me that, “someone needs to make blockchain accessible to normal people.”
我的妻子盖尔一直是一个令人难以置信的支持和灵感的来源。我想我在这里至少分享了两个关于她的故事，一个是她告诉我区块链是甚麽，另一个是她告诉我 “需要有人让普通人能使用区块链。”

Another good story is when she made-up the “we are the best, gliterally” slogan for Glitter Finance, our company and project. I thought it made it sound much cooler than what it had been.
另一个好故事是，她为Glitter Finance、我们的公司和项目创造了 “we are the best, gliterally” 的口号。我觉得这听起来比以前的酷多了。

Can you share a story of a time when things went south for you? What kept you going and helped you to overcome those times?
你能分享一个过去的故事吗？是什么让你继续前进，并帮助你克服了那些困难时光？

Sure, I had a couple of partners that highjacked my first DeFi project. What kept me going in that moment is my family, a feeling of destiny, a feeling of inspiration to still work to create. At the end of the day, a real builder and entrepreneur can pick-up the pieces, and build something even better. This is exactly what I did.
当然，我有几个合作伙伴劫持了我的第一个DeFi项目。让我前进的是我的家人，一种命运的感觉，一种仍在努力创造的感觉。在一天结束时，一个真正的建筑者和企业家可以捡碎片，创造更好的东西。我正是这么做的。

In your experience, what are the top strategies that blockchain companies should consider to have a stronger competitive edge?
根据你的经验，区块链公司应该考虑使用哪些顶级策略来拥有更强大的竞争优势？

The only thing that really matters is that normal people can use your product and that it realistically fills a gap in their daily lives. At the end of the day, if your blockchain product is just as relevant to a soccer mom or an overworked 50-year-old, as it is to a 24-year-old hacker then you know your product is a big deal and it will be incredibly competitive and have a good life.
唯一真正重要的是，普通人可以使用你的产品，它实际地填补了他们日常生活中的空白。在一天结束的时候，如果你的区块链产品对一个足球妈妈或一个过度劳累的50岁大妈而言如同对一个24岁的黑客一样重要，那么你就知道你的产品是超棒的，它会有一个美好的生活。

What are the 3 things that most excite you about the blockchain industry in general? Why?
关于区块链行业，最让你兴奋的三件事是什么？为什么 ？

Freedom — because it’s nice to call your own shots with your own money
自由——因为用自己的钱做自己的事是很好的
