Carla - Creation & Courage | Ep. 48

My guest today is Carla, the Creator-in-Chief in a duo called thecryptoc0up1e, with her husband Walker.
With degrees in journalism and business, Carla is a content creator, educator, and a young mum. Had someone educated her sooner, she would have spent less money on degrees, and more on Bitcoin.
In this episode Carla’s journey and talent comes to life. We talk about her upbringing in Romania and immigration process to the US, her work and the challenges she faced while building her brand. We touch on the importance of optimism, handling criticism, and the potential of decentralized platforms like Nostr. Carla emphasizes the need for creators to “just start” and be authentic in their work, while balancing between family life and professional aspirations.
