UNAJUA S10: Why DAO? feat Justin Irabor

Subscribe to the podcast wherever you listen

"Why DAO?" In this UNAJUA Series, Nigerian creator, scientist, and knowledge worker Justin Irabor makes a case for why anyone intent on building valuable things on the Web would do well to lean into the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) trend.

The last five years have seen Justin go from being a content writer to working as a performance marketer, then on to becoming a director of growth at Eden Life, and eventually morphing into a full-stack web developer. When Justin isn't posting viral hot-takes on Twitter and writing widely-read think pieces, he works as a dev at the Serbian platform-as-a-service provider, TradeCore—where he's helping build next-generation banking and investment products.
