All right, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls gather around the screen, gather around the Spotify, the headphones, the TV, wherever you guys are in the world, you're in the right place.

Because it's the Crypto 101 podcast, and we are joined by another absolute sharp shooter,

high caliber kind of guy here in the crypto defy space. And I'm not talking about Brendan,

who I'm joined by every single week.

I'm talking about our special guests.

But before we introduce our special guest, I want to talk to my buddy, Brendan, and check in, see how the Thanksgiving went.

And the whole holiday season, Brendan, you're feeling good.

You're feeling right.

These green candles are bringing up your spirits.

Yeah, you know, it's hard to feel bad when the crypto market is doing this good.

I did get a little bit of culture shock going from North Carolina to Florida,

back to North Carolina.

I'm going from 80 degrees to 30 degrees.

And, you know, other than that, we're doing just fine.

So your, uh, your, your, your, your, your, your, your, your,

thermo regulatory systems a little off. I imagine, a little confused. At least you're on the

same time zone though. That's good. Yeah, you know, that's all good. No kind of like jet lag or

anything like that. But yeah, the body's still adjusting. Love it. No, I, I hope all of our

listeners, everybody, all those good, wonderful citizens of Crip Nation who are out there celebrating, just the whole holiday season, whatever you celebrate. We just hope and pray that you guys have a great season. And with that being said, we want to introduce our guests. We have got Jason Ma. And Jason Ma is the head of Defi at Axelar. And Axelar is a very, very new,

very interesting protocol that's kind of just started to pop up big on the scene. And so we wanted

to do some deep dive, both on who Jason is and what Axelar's role is um so we're going to shut up we're

going to let jason take over jason how are you doing today fantastic what an intro thanks for having me
