The GRTiQ 10: Sebastian Burgel (Ep. 125)
In a recent episode of the GRTiQ podcast, our host Nick engages with guest Sebastian Burgel for an intriguing session culminating in the segment known as the GRTiQ 10. These ten questions are tailored to offer listeners a deeper dive into the guest’s persona, giving them insights that might inspire them to learn something new, try something different, or achieve more in their lives.
When asked about a book or article that had a significant impact on his life, Sebastian highlights the Ethereum Whitepaper, crediting it for steering him away from his academic pursuits and towards the dynamic world of blockchain. He firmly believes that anyone interested in the field should dedicate half a day to reading this non-technical and impactful whitepaper.
When it comes to a TV show recommendation, Sebastian, who admits he doesn’t watch much TV, suggests Star Trek for its portrayal of an optimistic future – a perspective that aligns with his positive outlook.
If he had to choose one music album for a lifetime of listening, Sebastian would go with either the German band Rammstein or Scooter.
Reflecting on the best advice he’s received, Sebastian shares a simple but powerful message: never stop asking questions, especially about the obvious.
When discussing unique insights, Sebastian emphasizes the importance of deep contemplation about what crypto is truly about. He believes it is about empowering individuals, a fact that many have yet to grasp fully while they chase illusions with the transformative technology.
Sebastian’s best-discovered life hack is a unique mental reframing. He’s realized that when he feels down, it’s usually about something specific rather than a general state of unhappiness. Identifying and addressing that specific issue can lead to a significant mood uplift.
Speaking about the traits leading to success, Sebastian credits persistence, asserting it as critical in both life and business.
In the final ‘complete the sentence’ portion of the GRTiQ 10, Sebastian shares his excitement for web3, especially its potential for creating something entirely novel and unprecedented. For must-follow Twitter accounts, he recommends Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum. Lastly, Sebastian finds happiness at the end of a productive day, particularly when he gets to spend time with friends, partners, and his dog, and still has time left to cook a satisfying meal.
Overall, the GRTiQ 10 provides an enlightening glimpse into Sebastian’s inspirations, values, life philosophies, and what brings him the most joy. https://www.grtiq.com/grtiq-podcast-125-sebastian-burgel/
