Summary

In this conversation, I talk with Jonny about his journey into the world of crypto, his transition from working at Google, and Coinbase, to founding his own company - called Fabric and their development of Hypersub; an onchain subscription service. You could say Hypersub is NaaS product - NFTs as a subscription (NaaS).

We touch on many things, including the concept of subscription fatigue and the unique features of Hypersub and why the future of media maybe onchain. Jonny talks about the challenges and opportunities of building a creator platform, the user experience, and the potential for growth and expansion in the future.
