Tom Shaughnessy is a co-founder at Delphi Digital as well as the host of the Chain Reaction podcast. Jordan Clifford is managing director of Scalar Capital. In this end of year interview for The Breakdown, Tom argues that the big story of 2019 was actually the fact that it was all about quiet building. When it comes to 2020, however, watch out for fireworks. Tom predicts we’ll see a major increase in the layer 1 smart contract platform wars, as well as an increased in the perceived importance of token economic design.

The Goods from the Woods - Episode #279 – “Bad Wrestling Promos” with Jon Allen & Justin Morales
In this episode, we got a FULLY LOADED ROSTER! River, Dr. Pat, Carter Glascock, and Sam Harter are all in the house for this NEW YEAR'S REVOLUTION! Joining them in a discussion all about terrible (and a few great) wrestling promos are a couple of the superstars from The Brian Kendrick's Wrestling Pro Wrestling: Jon Allen (a.k.a. "Ricotta Flair") and Justin Morales (a.k.a. "Shitty Superman"). This one is all about the non-physical part of pro wrestling but, as we'll see, it can often be the toughest and that is the wrestling promo. From the dizzying heights of Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes to the lowest lows of Lex Luger, Ultimate Warrior, and Roman Reigns, the promo is an art form that's definitely worth exploring and that's exactly what we're doing on this very special New Years Eve!
