Show notes
Chris Champion joins the PreVetted Podcast for a conversation that hops between the things you would expect from a tech and crypto founder and the things you would not, the bread he is baking that week, why the right olive oil changes everything, and the gear he packs to make decent coffee on the road. The result is less an interview about a single venture and more a portrait of how an entrepreneur actually fills a day.
What we covered
- Dog tales as the warm-up, the kind of small talk that ends up telling you something real about how someone lives.
- Homemade bread and the underrated importance of olive oil, where ingredient quality compounds in the same way good engineering does.
- Coffee culture and flavor preferences, from local roasters to the rituals that make a cup worth the time.
- Podcaster Summit LIVE in Lubbock, Texas, what Chris is building with the event and why an in-person community still matters in a remote-first creator economy.
- The final Ruby on Rails conference and what its closing chapter says about the lifecycle of developer communities.
- French press technique and the travel coffee gear Chris swears by, plus Starlink and off-grid adventures for working from anywhere.
