On Episode 19 of the Zero Rights Reserved Podcast, hosts Toady Hawk and Prof Werder sat down with Roy aka Zeneca, founder of ZenAcademy and the 333Club, cohost of the Two Bored Apes podcast and beloved web 3 educator!
We talked with Roy about his journey, from playing poker professionally to teaching NFT-curious people when to hold'em! We ask what it was like to build ZenAcademy through the bull market and the bear, talking about the realities of founder burnout, and why he believes that many projects should concentrate on building communities, not necessarily companies.
And of course we had to ask Roy for his takes on Nouns and CC0, a topic he has written about extensively. We hope you enjoy this conversation with a true legend of the space!
