In many ways it’s surprising that it took us until Season 7 to bring Julia on the podcast because she has actually played a part in Rehash from Day 0 as you’ll hear us talk about at the beginning of this episode. Julia is an investor, connector of people, and all around one of the kindest and most generous humans I’ve encountered in this space.
In this episode we start out by talking about DAO Masters, a project she crowdfunded through Mirror that ended up winding down last summer, and what she learned about the give-get equation through her experience there.

We then get into a discussion around why there’s so much latent and unused human talent floating around in the corporate world and what people have been doing about it, such as flocking to freelance and contract work, or even to DAOs. Obviously DAOs aren’t perfect and are far from it, but Julia shares some strategies she thinks could be implemented for DAOs to be more effective in their operations while maintaining the same draw they have for people today.
Finally, we talk about what Julia is most focused on in the global landscape with crypto and nintynick chimes in with a question about progressive decentralization.
