My guest today is Marlon Williams (https://twitter.com/marlonwilliams), founder of Atlanta Blockchain Center (https://www.linkedin.com/company/atlantachain/). Marlon is a serial entrepreneur, starting and selling his first business at 25. He currently operates 4 different successful businesses. His company Starter Labs has helped raise over $45million for blockchain startups, and is the parent company for Atlanta Blockchain Center.
