Stay in school is the common mantra one hears early in life. Go to school. Make good grades. Get a good job.

It’s very rare to discover someone that drops out of high school at the age of 16 and MIT a few years later, especially a highly studious person.

But if dropping out of school twice doesn’t drop your jaw, then maybe being a Y-Combinator alum as well as receiving a $100,000 Thiel Fellowship grant after successfully founded Nambase.io — the premier domain registrar built on top of the new DNS protocol Handshake — just might grab your attention, a little more.

What a milestone for every podcast to make it too, now including Kickstart.fm: Episode 100! 🎉

It’s been a great adventure thus far, and I can’t even imagine all the various interviews and stories that await the domain and business worlds.

With that out of the way, today’s milestone interview and the interviewee has roots that find deep origin from the Bluegrass State of Kentucky.

The Bluegrass State is famous for a number of things — breeding horses, tobacco farms, fine bourbon, and, of course, the Kentucky Derby.

While domain professionals hail from all over the globe, none are quite as special as today’s darling of domaining. And who might this darling of domaining be?

With just over 2 billion websites on the world wide web, forever increasing second by second and minute by minute, a high percentage of websites don a .com domain. In fact, almost 75% of all globally registered TLDs are .com — that’s just over 150 million.

While most tend to choose and use .com as their preferred extension, there’s a growing number of personal and corporate brands selecting non .com domains to represent their digital presence.

What is the next “big thing” on the horizon? This often tends to be the never-ending question about many things in life, domains included, decade after decade, year after year.

There are many big moments in and throughout the history of tech, especially when considering domains and their role in the existence of the Internet.

One of the latest topics up for discussion admits a world of civil unrest and #CancelCulture is the birthing and formation of a decentralized internet — the web 3.0.

From the legacy domains in a centralized structure of management to the decentralized management of handshake domains, the Handshake domain ecosystem is steadily growing day after day.

Can legacy and Handshake domains coexist in a new web ecosystem?
