Episode 3 – We5lie's Story
We5lie went from making bad YouTube videos at 10 to becoming one of the more recognizable graphic designers in the DeGods ecosystem — and somehow ended up in Singapore showing Frank a briefcase of custom watches. In this episode he breaks down how he got there, what he's building now, and why he thinks this year is finally his.

We5lie is a UK-based graphic designer who found his way into Web3 through a marketing apprenticeship during COVID. He worked two jobs simultaneously for months before going full-time in the space, eventually landing roles at Floor Protocol and DeGods — where he became known for his design work and his 1-of-1 Youth DeGod. After his time at DeGods wrapped up, he had his next moves sorted by Wednesday of the same week. He's now running three projects at once, including a food delivery platform taking on Uber Eats in the UK, and two other ventures he can't fully talk about yet. In this episode he's pretty open about how everything happened — the good decisions, the lucky breaks, and the ones that paid off way more than expected.
