Welcome back to another episode of ZEROPOD our zero copyright video podcast for people who enjoy Ethereum. This week we were excited to welcome as our guest Yele Bademosi the founder of many things in this space, but most recently Onboard, which is a digital wallet designed as a full service neobank for onchain creators. In this pod, host Toady Hawk from Zero Rights Media talks with Yele about his upbringing in Nigeria, his schooling in London and his series of interesting start-ups since. They chat about why he was drawn to build on Ethereum, and specifically on Base, why he believes providing under-collateralized credit to the world is the most important future priority for Onboard, one simple thing he never learned to do, and much, much more. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did. Please don’t forget to give this video a Like and a Comment, or if you’re on Spotify or apple podcasts, a 5 star review goes a long way.
