Anthony Sassano | Layer Zero

Anthony Sassano is undoubtedly one of the most committed individuals to the Ethereum ecosystem and the values that come along with it. Dropping newsletters and podcasts every weekday with his consistent fervor is inspiring as it is valuable.

In this episode Layer Zero, we dive into what drives Anthony. This opens up to a broader conversation of philosophy, longevity research, his thesis on life, and his beard oil company (?!)
