Nick Hansen, host of the GRTiQ Podcast, was gracious enough to spend some time with me on this episode of SoulSpeak. 

After hosting 75 episodes of GRTiQ at the time of this recording, Nick has had a front-row seat to some of the most influential business, tech, and thought-leaders in the web3 space. In GRTiQ, Nick usually steps back and lets his guests shine, but this was different for him and I was happy he got a chance to tell his story. I got to know Nick as a fellow podcaster, human, educator, as well as his background with business. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
