In the latest episode of Blockworks’ podcast “Empire,” Jason Yanowitz, Blockworks co-founder, sits down with Colleen Sullivan, a founder at CMT.

During the podcast, Colleen talks about how she spent her summers fighting for space in the pit in Chicago, and how that experience informed her career. She also discusses what her legal experience has taught her about the landscape today.

On “Empire,” once a week, Jason interviews individuals that have built the crypto industry to talk about their struggles, bold moves and tough decisions. For any NPR or Guy Raz fans out there, you can think of “Empire” like a “How I Built This” for the bitcoin and crypto industry.

Episodes are released every Thursday morning.
