Ep. 30 - Coordination, DAO tooling, and building community with Zeugh

Welcome back to another episode of the Juicebox podcast. This week Matthew and Brileigh are joined by Zeugh. Zeugh was an early JuiceboxDAO contributor, the founder of CanuDAO, and previous Community Lead for DAO launcher Origami.

In this episode, Zeugh tells us about his experience working for both companies and DAOs, how bots can help build and maintain communities, and get his take on how DAOs have evolved over the last two years. He also gives us his advice for launching a DAO and how to build community, the DAO and coordination tooling that he’s most excited about going forward, and his reflections on attending crypto conferences over the last couple of years.

This episode was one of the most chaotic behind-the-scenes. It was recorded in two parts because of internet connectivity issues and features interruptions by deliveries, grandmas, kids ringing doorbells, dogs, planes… the list goes on. Despite all this, we rolled with it and hope you enjoy this friendly conversation with Zeugh.
