In this episode, I spoke with Pepe Blasco. Pepe is the CTO of MELD, a revolutionary decentralized non-custodial banking protocol built on Cardano, providing both crypto and fiat borrowing/lending services.  

Pepe talked through a huge amount of advice in this conversation. From getting started in your career, what made him successful, what it means to be a manager to a day in the life of a CTO and what it's really like working in a Web3 startup.  

He gave us an introduction to MELD and talked through what makes the project unique and exciting, and Pepe talked us through what part luck and sacrifice play when building your career.  

Behind the blockchain is a series of conversations with leaders who have built successful products, teams and careers in Web3. You will get a chance to discover how successful individuals were able to accomplish their career objectives, the skills they have acquired, the mistakes and difficulties they encountered, and the advice they can offer you to help you reach your own career aspirations.
