NOTE: I apologize this likely isn't as thorough as it could be.. I had UPS arrive at my door.. AND the Wix website (this blog) went down for 5 minutes... so I really recommend you listen to this AMA as I feel this summary doesn't do it justice. Gary talks about a lot of stuff and it was too much to capture.

- Epik works with the biggest brands to bring them into Web3 (our Metaverse)

- Epik founded in 2018
