Part 4/10:
Alex shares his unique path, which surprisingly diverged from conventional expectations. Growing up in Wisconsin as a farm boy, he faced pressure to pursue higher education. Yet, after a challenging time in college, Alex decided to drop out, leveraging his knowledge of Spanish to travel to Colombia—an experience that ultimately shaped his views on living and working in different cultures.
Amidst his travels, Alex's proactive attitude led him to find ways to support himself financially. He gained valuable teaching experience, which not only helped him understand economics but also catalyzed his interest in crypto. His journey intersected with AJ's when they began collaborating on projects, earning them both a place in the evolving landscape of decentralized finance.
