When not curating engaging content, Best can be found reading a book with a cup of hot chocolate, enjoying a Netflix series, or exploring the outdoors with Green - the world\u2019s most quiet and well-behaved Husky. Best\u2019s interests also span other industries such as art, finance, and security, attending seminars and conferences in not just the crypto industry but other industries as well.
