Moneda Moves (151): 🎧 Investing In the Future of Media, In Web3 | Trustless Media Co-Founder Zack Guzman
A new Moneda Moves episode is out, mi gente! In today’s conversation, we speak with an old CNBC colleague and reporter Zack Guzman who’s leading what could be the future of the media landscape.
What’s important to know: Zack is a crypto journalist through and through. But in the last few years, he decided to also challenge the current media model and raised $3.25 million dollars for it. Today, he is the co-founder of Web3 media company Trustless Media, and host of the first community-owned, mainstream crypto show "Coinage."
Now, Zack has worked for his fair share of traditional US news outlets. He has also previously worked at Yahoo! Finance as an anchor and at CNBC as a reporter covering startups and tech. His reporting has been featured across multiple platforms including the New York Post, Washington Post, Huffington Post, NBC, Entrepreneur and AOL. Today, we speak about to new media model Zack is fostering, how raising funds had everything to do with the right connections and timing (among them, Netflix co-founder Marc Randolph) as well as how community plays a core role in the future of Web3.
Note: We also discuss navigating uncertainty given funding was raised by Sam Bankman-Fried’s Alameda Research and the recent downfall of Alameda/FTX.
Con poder,
