We will send a copy of Nat's New Book Crypto Confidential to the first ten people to be subscribed to the podcast and email pia@modernstoa.coThis podcast got me absolutely torqued. Nat is always someone whom I have admired for his ability to be on the cutting edge of the next "thing" and find a creative way to monetize it. It was super fun to watch, and he was really good at it. About two years ago, he decided he wanted to embark on the great creative journey of his life. A life where he isn't on the cutting edge, but instead working on one project for years at a time. This book is his first child of this commitment, and it is fun as fuck to read.Nat is really living in his art and I am so fucking stoked for him.Follow Nat:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nat_eliason/X: https://twitter.com/nateliasonSubstack: https://blog.nateliason.com/Book: Crypto Confidential  https://a.co/d/03L5pfl
