The lack of mental health awareness and work/life balance in the crypto space is astounding. A clear indicator is no calendar hygiene. Itâs even more evidence by folks who send meeting invites for nights and weekends. Leaders, consider how you set an example for your teams.

It'll never stop being weird seeing your name on things. No one knew what a Kirin was when I was growing up. Now it's everywhere. And Zora? Zora was a fuddy-duddy old Croatian name. Now it's cool. Wild times. kirincomicscontact.wixsite.câŚ
