My awesome guest this week is Rob Behnke, serial entrepreneur and extremely well connected member of the NYC tech community. \\xa0Rob brings a marketers intuition and a relentless drive to his many projects, which now include Elementus, Token Agency, Halborn and NouGit.

I met Rob when we worked together on the NouGit team that won the EOS Global hackathon in San Francisco last November. \\xa0The value added that caught the judges attention that weekend was decentralized and incentivized git repos on the EOS blockchain.

NouGit is incorporated now with an alpha release on the way. \\xa0The concept has evolved though, to focus more attention on emerging open source projects that need contributors to stay strong. \\xa0I\\u2019m one of the advisors, and super excited about its future.

Working together, I\\u2019ve become a friend to Rob, watching him through the lens of my own experience. \\xa0In 1990, many of us were bringing value to the Internet when others couldn\\u2019t see a future there. \\xa0But a few years later, the world around us did begin to figure it out and investment demand went absolutely bonkers.

The recent ICO froth in crypto reminds me of the dot com boom 20 years ago. \\xa0Rob tells a story in this interview that at one point with Token Agency, he helped clients raise over $150m during a twelve month period. \\xa0And yet, what matters now is what mattered then. \\xa0Companies must add value to survive. \\xa0From this interview, I think you will find that Rob is one of those people who seeks that value.
