Hey Dean, I know this is random, right? Like that humanizes me, right? Hey, I know, like I didn't say, hi Mr. Dean Shelton, I would love to talk with you. No. Hey Dean, I know this This is random. I wanna shoot you a DM. I'm looking for a job right now, right? And I love the Web3 space. So you said you have a passion, like hiring managers right now want people who have passion, right? And, and I've done some personal projects leveraging certain technology in the Web3 space. Would love to chat about this position. Be intentional with the DMs. Add a note.
