Last week, Diana Chen interviewed me for the Rehash podcast. We spoke about fractional work, AI, learning, and building on Bitcoin. It was the first time I've been interviewed, on a live stream, for 55 minutes straight, and we get in pretty deep to my current brain space. Welcome.
Thanks to Diana Chen for a really fun interview and to DeFi Beats for nominating me.
S9 E3 | Fractional Work, AI Learning Models, and Bitcoin Developer Ecosystem w/Bethany Crystal
Tune in at:
In case you don't want to listen, here are five things that AI perceived as the most unique or interesting about this conversation:
Custom Job Role Creation: We cover a lot of ground about my journey into fractional work, including my longtime pattern of proactively creating jobs for myself, both in a full-time and fractional capacity.
AI-Powered Leadership Team: We talk about how I use AI to optimize my workflow, including a story about creating an AI-powered leadership team to assist me in a new job function.
Non-Traditional Learning Motivators: Do you know why you like to learn? I share that while motivation to learn is often fueled by pure curiosity, sometimes it can be led by a different energy, like frustration or anger.
Decoupling Passion from Income: In a fractional capacity, you have a lot more wiggle room to place with diversifying income streams; I share how I sometimes separate high-paying work from what I’m most passionate about, using the former to “buy” time to spend on other projects.
Potential of Bitcoin Development: In the last five minutes, we talk about my new role on the board at Hiro, and Bitcoin's large market cap as untapped potential, and the wide open developer space for future builders.
