Shane Mac is building a crypto-native communication protocol for web3. Similar to SMTP for email, XMTP will enable communication between existing crypto wallets via its own independent protocol and decentralized network.

We talk about being young and lucky, learnings from interviewing Gary Vee, writing a book at 23, entrepreneurship, the origin story of XMTP, and much more.
