We Interviewed Kick CEO Eddie

Thanks to the team at Kick we were able to sit down with the CEO of Kick, Eddie, to have a conversation talking through Kick as a platform. We talked about Kick's connections to Stake and if it will be advertised, if Adin Ross is a liability, xQc's 100M deal, and much more.
