One of the things I am most excited about in this space is integration into the real world and Gro is definitely on a path to that.

- His background working for Spotify and Revolut and how that variety of experience helped in building Gro

- How the idea came about to provide a mix of conservative and more aggressive risk in DeFi

- Their initial offering being integrated with other platforms

- How DAOs are working and what they are learning about their own implementation of a DAO

- Strong investors make a big difference in how they function and the help they can provide

- How they will integrate with neo-banks

- What he sees in the market for that expansion

- What it is like to see the DAO start to take over things like treasury proposals
