Humans of Solana: Ellie Platis | The Woman Behind Breakpoint

Meet the woman behind Breakpoint. In the first extended cut of Humans of Solana, Simon sits down with Ellie Platis (@platis_e), Events Lead at the Solana Foundation and Event Ninja in Chief. She flew a million miles in her first three months on the job - and that's not even the wildest story in here. From 90 weddings a year to Netflix and EA, to evacuating 7,000 people from a crypto street fair in Miami, to the full year it takes to plan a behemoth like Breakpoint: this is what it takes to keep Solana IRL running.
