🎙 Making Magic - A Defiant Love Story with Robin Schmidt & Alp Gasimov

We have a special podcast episode this week — a live conversation between Defiant founder Camila, our head of video Robin, and our editor Alp, recorded directly from The Defiant’s video studio in the Netherlands. Robin and Alp were one of the very first team members working with Camila in making the best DeFi and web3 content out there. They’re the dynamic duo responsible for the launch of The Defiant’s video content. They started the YouTube channel back in July 2020, when they were still working at Harmony, and then came on board full time in January 2021.

In this episode we hear their story, how they came to work together and what moves them. We also go behind the scenes on their intense production process and schedule. Together with Camila, they also try to make sense of the latest drivers behind the crypto market, including the war in Ukraine, last year’s massive bull run and the recent volatility.

Podcast audio and video was edited by Daniel Flynn and Gary Leuci. Transcript was edited by Samuel Haig.
