Owen Healy has spent five years matching blockchain talent with crypto projects around the world - and he's built a 50,000-follower LinkedIn following doing it. In this episode, Aaron sits down with the Ireland-based recruiter to explore how the blockchain talent market actually works: how recruiters get paid, how candidates can trust a headhunter is acting in their interest, and why referrals still beat job boards every time.

Owen shares why Brazilian developers and blockchain professionals are increasingly in demand globally, what skills make candidates hireable regardless of location, and how the remote work pendulum is swinging back toward hybrid models. He also breaks down his "multi-chain" approach to job searching - why one-click LinkedIn applications rarely work, and how building genuine relationships inside target companies is the real edge in today's AI-saturated hiring landscape.

Rodrigo Trindade is an investor at Iporanga Ventures. He joins host Aaron Stanley to discuss his comprehensive research on local stablecoin adoption across Brazil and Latin America.

Rodrigo built his own tracking dashboard monitoring on-chain metrics including supply, holders, transaction volumes, and DeFi activity for regional stablecoins. He argues that while USD-denominated stablecoins will remain dominant globally, local currency stablecoins are essential infrastructure for building functional on-chain financial systems in Latin America, where users need to transact, borrow, and lend in their native currencies.

Looking ahead, Rodrigo identifies credit and yield products as the next major opportunities in the space, emphasizing the need for better transparency through real-time proof of reserves and improved liquidity infrastructure.

John Delaney is CEO and co-founder of Crown. Crown recently raised a $13.5 million Series A round led by Paradigm and is the issuer of BRLV - Brazil's newest and stablecoin with over 360 million BRL subscribed.

He joins host Aaron Stanley to discuss Crown's unique approach to capturing institutional flows in Brazil's high-yield environment - namely by letting BRLV holders earn native yield generated from the underlying reserves.

The conversation explores BRLV's groundbreaking bankruptcy-remote reserve structure with perfected legal guarantees, making it the first stablecoin globally to implement such comprehensive security protections.

Delaney shares insights on Brazil's position as a prime stablecoin market given its massive M2 money supply, crypto-friendly central bank, and positive real interest rates that outpace inflation.

He outlines Crown's ambitious 10-year vision to achieve one trillion BRL in circulation, projecting stablecoins will represent high single-digit percentages of Brazil's money supply as financial infrastructure migrates on-chain.
