Dan Conway is an expert on crypto culture, decentralization and corporate America, where he spent most of his career.

He’s had a number of Forrest Gump moments. At Macromedia he was at the epicenter of the dot com boom as PR Manager for Flash. Five years before YouTube was invented he started his own prank video site, Bricksuitcase.com. At PeopleSoft, when software started eating the world, he led PR for the first international launch of its enterprise software package. Then he naturally left tech for grocery, where he served as Director of Government Relations at Safeway. Finally, he ascended to an executive position at a Fortune 20 company.
