The Builder’s Journey with Brkfstsndwch

Today I sit down with brkfstsndwch, a longtime builder in the Nouns ecosystem. We go through his history as a photographer, coming to Nouns, and working on one of the first ten proposals. We even talk about his latest project, Nouns Coffee, and he gives us his recommended coffee set up.

Noun O' Talk is the podcast all about NounsDAO. The host, Christian, interviews members of the DAO and project builders in the ecosystem. We hear about how they came to Nouns, what they're working on, and what they see for the future of Nouns. You can listen to past episodes at nounotalk.com. Noun O' Talk is produced by brileigh.eth & matthewbrooks.eth and the cover art is by Messhup of Nounsense.
