Hey listeners, welcome back. Courtney and I went on the first cruise of our life this weekend for a friends wedding and let me tell you, we had the best experience in the world and it had nothing to do with the ship. It was all about our expectations and the friends we surround ourselves with. Isn't that the beauty of life? Back to this this episode of The Charlie Shrem Show, I sat down with Bryan Pellegrino, Co-Founder and CEO of LayerZero Labs, and Anthony Georgiades, General Partner at Innovating Capital and Co-Founder of Pastel Network. We discuss the evolution and future of interoperability in the crypto space, AI integration, and the industry's challenges and opportunities. You will enjoy this nice long episode. I started doing a Bitcoin Hour and will be sharing those with you all very soon!
