Today I am speaking with Rodrigo Coelho, Chief Spirit Officer at Edge & Node. This is Part 1 of an intriguing two-part series recorded at The House of Web3 in San Francisco, California, during The Graph’s recent 3rd birthday celebration. For those interested, a video recording of this interview is available on The House of Web3’s YouTube channel (link in show notes). I must also extend my apologies in advance for any audio issues, as certain parts of this interview may be challenging to hear.
For those well-versed in the history of The Graph ecosystem, Rodrigo requires no introduction. He holds the distinction of being the first hire made by Yaniv, Brandon, and Jannis when they launched The Graph. Since those early days, Rodrigo has played an important role in nurturing The Graph's ecosystem and growth.
In Part 1 of our conversation, Rodrigo talks about his background, sharing pivotal life experiences and challenges that have shaped his journey. These formative experiences ultimately guided him towards web3 and his current role at Edge & Node. Be sure to tune in next week for Part 2, where Rodrigo reflects on memorable encounters, including the serendipitous meeting with Yaniv at a San Francisco co-working space before The Graph project's official launch. Rodrigo also shares insights into being the project's first employee, recounts the early days and pivotal moments that set the direction for The Graph's remarkable journey.
I've long anticipated recording an interview with Rodrigo, and I'd like to express my gratitude for his time and to the House of Web3 for providing the space and equipment necessary to record the interview.
