Oh yes - buzzwords galore in this one! Manny is a longtime friend and former roommate who works at American Express by day, and crypto by night. We focused on his side hobby of racing NFT horses via Zed Run, and strayed into a myriad of other crypto topics. We laughed, talked over each other, and probably misspoke more than once but overall we covered a lot and hope you find it entertaining. ========== Thank you for exploring these side hobbies with us.

Welcome back! In this episode we got to chat with Hillary Arnold, the founder and lithium-battery behind Sprout and Willow Co, which is a shop full of beautiful reversible dog bandanas carefully crafted from her home - proof that with a little bit of motivation and sewing machine, anything is possible. Hillary shared stories from her childhood which cumulated in this creative venture, the push from colleagues to start, and what all she uses (and doesn't use) to get this product out the door. It was an inspiring chat about resourcefulness and a great way to kickstart a year of side hobbies and side hustles for all of us. Hope you enjoy!
