My guest today is Pedro Oliveira. Pedro is the Co-founder and CEO of Talent Protocol, a web3 professional platform where builders and creators can create their on-chain resumes and find the meaningful connections and support they need to succeed. I met Pedro in person when I moved to Lisbon and participated in many web3-related events and conferences organised by him and his company.
