About this episode
Seung Yoon Lee, CEO and co-founder of Story Protocol, is building crypto infrastructure to unlock the $80 trillion creative asset class.After selling his previous company Radish Fiction to Kakao for $440 million, Seung saw a bigger problem: streaming platforms like Netflix make billions while creators who make the content get almost nothing.
