We sat down to chat with J4ck, a former Google designer and DJ, who now co-founded Icebreaker, a decentralized professional network often dubbed the "Web3 LinkedIn." In this episode, we dive deep into J4ck's journey—from working at Google to creating innovative music scenes in New York. We also explore the challenges and future of hiring in the Web3 space, the power of recommendations, and the seamless integration of personal and professional identities in the digital age. Tune in for an inspiring look at how Icebreaker aims to leverage trust and zero-knowledge proofs to reshape how we connect and collaborate professionally.
