Full Transcription
Thank you. you Yo, what is up everyone?
GM, thanks for tuning in so early.
One minute, guys.
That's pretty impressive.
That's pretty impressive.
Again, guys, we're just getting this room set up.
But while we wait, if you guys could do us a huge favor,
if you guys could go to the bottom right-hand corner,
a like, a comment comment a repost a
bookmark any little goodie would be deeply appreciated as we talk about how to get a job
in 2026 with some amazing amazing people here again guys we're just getting set up with this
room gonna play a quick tune and then we'll see you guys soon.
Greco. I Oh
Oh Oh
Oh I'm going to go ahead and put it in the middle of the room.
I'm going to go ahead and put it in the middle of the room.
I'm going to go ahead and put it in the middle of the room.
I'm going to go ahead and put it in the middle of the room. Music
Music
Music Music I'm I I
How do I find my passion?
I would tell you my punchline is
what would you do if you could just do it all the time?
Everybody is the happiest when they get to do what they want to be doing.
When you get to do what you want to do, you've won.
That is the seductive nature of entrepreneurship.
But there's a problem.
There's a naivete in the world
that just because you talk,
people are going to listen.
You actually have to be good.
How do you stay driven?
I'm going to ask you a question.
How do you stay driven?
You won the lotto of the universe,
which is you are a human being on earth
and you're not driven
and you're not fired up and you're
willing to sit like a lump and just wait till you die.
You suck.
I don't know what everybody, like you're going to be 90s and you're going to look back and
what?
This is it.
I mean, there's just so much complaining.
There's so much cynicism.
There's so much.
You got lucky.
There's so much. Everybody just wants to point at other people.
Point at your fucking self.
At the end of the day, it's gonna be what it's gonna be.
It all comes down to 20, 30, 40 years from now.
Like what?
It's just results.
How do the people around you feel about you?
How much did you create?
What impact did you have on people?
It's the money, it's the fame. It's
the impact you've had on people. It's the way your family thinks about you. It's the way your
best friends think about you. You can be a fucking ninja entrepreneur and you can be an
awesome person and give back to society. You can be both if you've got the talent. Damn, the truth, but they think it's just made up.
If you're good enough, if you are good enough to be up here to make bling bling,
if you are good enough, nobody's stopping you.
Not fucking Donald Trump, not the fucking Russians, nobody.
If you are a minority, if you are a female, if you are transgender,
if you're a fucking alien, so...
Avengers!
Assemble.
Yo, GM, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you are in this wonderful, wonderful planet.
Guys, happy, happy new year to everyone here.
Hopefully you guys are starting off your 2026 with a bang.
It seems like everyone is back online on crypto Twitter, on spaces even. It
seems a lot of you guys are on spaces now, seeing a lot of amazing numbers, which is great. I guess
we want to hear about the alpha, right? The alpha coming up. But guys, today, we got a good one for
you today. We're going to talk about how to get a job in 2026. Definitely, it's going to be a banger, banger space with some amazing, amazing people
here in the speaker panel. But before we start, if you guys could do us a huge favor, if you guys
could hit that bottom right-hand corner, a like, a comment, a repost, a bookmark, any little goodie
would be deeply appreciated. But yeah, let's get started started here i know some of us a little late
in our time zone but uh again guys thank you so much for being here um but let me you know what
yeah let me check in real quick with people since we got some time here we got some legends here i
just want to make sure everyone's mic is good i know x x is rugging i'm praying in 2026 elon fixes

But anyways, let me check it real quick with Cindy.
Dude, Cindy, who I was hanging out with in Dubai for Binance Blockchain Week.

right you won an award right yeah so uh that was really exciting binance uh flew about 100 creators
out to dubai um there were creators that were voted in to be the top creators in crypto.
I won, I think, one out of seven places in video and live stream creators. So that was very exciting.
Yeah, I honestly was a surprise for me. I really just started actively creating content maybe last
year on Twitter, even though I've been on here for years um but i think it really ties into the topic of today uh where you know building and
sharing all your thoughts in public really does lead to but more opportunities yeah let's go let's
go appreciate you being here cindy uh let me check in real quick with Damien, who is, I guess, Tintin's muscle boy intern.
Damien, what's up, my friend?
Yeah.
That's it, Damien?

Damien, can you hear us?
Hopefully, I'm not rugging.
But anyway, Damien, good to have...
Yeah.
Sorry, you kind of cut in a little bit, cut out a little bit.

I feel like Chev is like the
unofficial
crypto chaplain. You guys need
some encouragement. If your
day is down, dude, Chev,
he's your go-to guy. He's the unofficial
crypto chaplain.
Chev, maybe you got to put that in your bio too. Unofficial.
Or you don't have to say unofficial. You say crypto
chaplain. But no, shout out to you, Jeff.
Shout out to you.
Happy New Year, my friend.

And, yeah, it's good to be on Spaces, man.
Let's go.
Let's go, Murhab.
Really appreciate you being here.
Happy New Year.
Lastly, I got to check in with the legend herself, Marianne.
Marianne, if you guys don't know, actually marianne is kind of the reason why i talk about
no pants and maybe i'll tell you later but uh excuse me what do you mean you inspired it marian
what the hell so the story goes i don't know if you probably don't remember this this is back in
the i don't know when i was still a small little pudgy. But we're talking about how to host spaces.
And Marianne, you were giving your take.
I don't know if you remember.
This is before your abstract days.
Yeah, this is before your abstract days, before we blew off on the abstract.
But you're like, yo, you can like literally speak on spaces and host spaces naked.
And the light bulb just went off in my head.
I was like, like yo you're right
you're right
and you know
yo that is hilarious
we can do it on stream
I mean that is a little
concerning that is a little
concerning but I want to start with a little
statement about Chinsanity
and I had this statement in mind even
before he talks about
me being his muse for the no pants. Damn, that is a little weird. But anyway,
yesterday in my group chat, I was remembering Dubai Token 2049 last year. And I sent a photo
of the Animoca event. And guys, in the Animoca event,
there was ice baths and Chinsanity was all over the place. And Chinsanity by then, and mind you
guys, I have a really bad memory. So I just remembered that very vividly. And I felt like
talking about it. He had his account suspended. And even though he had his account suspended,
he was just filming videos and filming content.
And right after he got it back,
he started streaming
and he was just all over the place
filming so much videos,
filming so much content.
He just knew it in his heart
that his account will be back.
And look at him now, he's killing it.
This is one of like spaces are down bad and look at your space. I'm really proud of you. Your progress is insane. Your progress is
amazing. I remember when you got started and look at you now. I love your podcast as well. I didn't
have the chance to tell it to you. So I thought I would say that here. So that is a little backstory
of something I remembered Chin Sanin doing and look at where he is now. So I'm
really happy to be on your space and I love the topic. I can't wait to talk about it as well.
Yeah, no, first of all, Marianne, really appreciate the flowers there. And yes, it was amazing to meet
you in real life. And hopefully we get the chance to meet each other again in 2026. And yeah,
thanks for hopping by, hopping by. Love to hear from you as well about
your takes and your journey as well. Again, guys, thank you so much for tuning in. I brought up a
few other speakers as well. We got still some available speaker spots, so feel free to shoot
your shot, hit that request button, and I'll do my best to bring you up. But yeah, before we start
as well, guys, if you guys want to show us some love, hit that bottom right hand corner, a like, a comment, a repost, anything would be deeply
appreciated. And also, if you're not able to come up, right, feel free to put your comments,
your thoughts about what's being discussed here in the comments. And also, if you guys have any
questions for these legends here, feel free to put that as well. And I'll do my best to take a look at the questions.
But guys, let's get started here.
And I guess it's just simply, right?
Just like the question with the title of the space is, how would you advise someone to get a job in 2026?
What skills do they need to know, right?
I know right now in the timeline, everyone's talking
about vibe coding, clawed code and stuff, which is good, which is cool. Right? I mean, it seems
like it's a trend right now, but in your opinion, or maybe from your journey, right? Like how would
you advise someone to get a job in 2026? Um, you guys know the drill, right? If you guys have a
take or two, feel free to raise those hands
if not i'll be like that annoying school teacher and call you out uh but i feel like it won't be
a problem with this panel here i know we have a lot of a lot of yappers i already see a couple
of hands here uh so let me go to them let me go first off to merhab merhab you got pingu privileges
uh merhab what is up uh yeah what's your take on how to get a job
in 2026 bro like even before we start specifically of 2026 let me ramble around like you said i'm a
yapper so let me let me talk for a minute uh the thing is if if you're new to crypto like if you're
new to to jobs in crypto you want to go to full full-time web 3 like if you're new to jobs in crypto, you want to go to full-time Web3.
Like if you're broke, if you don't have a job, if you don't have nothing to work and get money,
you should feel no shame for knocking doors, jumping on spaces, talking to people, connecting with them,
asking for like opportunities, you know, not begging not, let's say, begging for a job.
You can offer yourself to work for something for a short time period, for free, prove yourself that
you're good at something, then you can negotiate for some money. You'll have proof of work,
case studies, etc. uh if we're talking specifically
about 2026 the answer will be the same don't don't fall into the trends the trends will fall
into your category like you need to be that guy that is so good at something you know like one
mistake that i did over the my four maybe this my fifth year in crypto that i was good at many things i wasn't
the best guy at something you know so right now i'm i'm niching myself to one and two things
but one one bad mistake that i made again i was working on multiple stuff so my advice will be
stick to something that you like that you like to do be be like just
love it like hustle it work on it every single day be the best at it and whenever whenever the
space will you can create your own opportunity first and whenever there's a trend on the space
it will happen like look at the clippers i I can call Jack, like, first clip last year.
I remember last year or even, yeah, like, early last year,
before, early days of streaming on PompFan and all this stuff.
He started clipping some stuff.
Then later on, he's working with PompFan, with Solana, with ThreadGuy.
So he just explored it and went to be that guy.
So again, to close my TED Talk,
just see what you like,
be the professional and the best guy at it,
and the opportunity will come your way.
Yeah.
You know, also, like, again,
Merhab, I appreciate you starting us off here.
Something interesting about your journey, Merhab, and something that I was just curious, I didn't You know, also like, again, we appreciate you starting us off here. Something interesting
about your journey, Merhab, and something that I was just curious, I didn't even know,
is how'd you, like, I feel like your progression was really fast, but also like, kind of like
you're saying, like you just sought out opportunities. You're always present where I feel
like when I, when you came first on my timeline, right. Becoming at least like, I know, I know you
from being a streamer on Abstract, right?
You stream every day, interview people,
and then you would like,
and then you progress,
you work with the project,
being ambassador to now working at Unfungible.
Like how were you able to go from a streamer
to working for a project as an ambassador
to working for Unfungible?
Like how did that happen for you?
Exactly. Because it doesn't start from just randomly.
For example, talking about Unfungible
or being an ambassador or whatever.
So I'll start with the last one, which is Unfungible.
I connected with Leon two or three years ago,
but I was in his replies, whatever, connecting with him,
but I was ashamed of, let's say, knocking doors.
That's something that I missed to do.
For example, Gasha, when I was ambassador for Gasha,
I test out the early game of Gasha.
It wasn't Gasha.
It was something else.
We gave feedback that, yeah, the game is shit.
Let's make another one.
And they did another one.
And that's how I was was let's say an ambassador
for gasha it's always connecting with people and and being a genuine human and just just again
connecting uh and be be the best guy at something so again i started my journey in crypto was
bd and doing sales and whatever then i worked tons of stuff then to come back to my my routes
which is what i was the best at you know and again streaming still uh right now i'm taking a pivot
of being that guy of interviewing prediction like people that were that building on top of
prediction market like i know now vibe coding the the trend but i like prediction market. Like I know now Vibe coding is the trend,
but I like prediction market.
I do a lot of predictions on platform.
What I want is I want to meet these builders and these traders.
So what I'm doing,
I'll try to interview each builder
on top of prediction market.
So taking these two routes,
fixing myself into two categories
that I want to be there and trying to
be the best at it yeah yeah and i think again i've seen it i'm sure a lot of people in this panel and
also in the audience have seen kind of your growth just like being present and like you said like
interviewing people uh going hard on things and then just networking right asking for opportunities
and something that, yeah,
I think is a really good advice there.
For anyone looking to get a job, right?
This year, right?
It's just be presence, right?
Be known, right?
Obviously replying to big accounts,
it helps hopping on spaces here, right?
Sharing about, you know, what you do, right?
In the DMs as well.
And one thing, again, this is my pet peeve
and I'm sure everyone in this panel
could share the same experience.
When you're DMing someone,
start off with what,
you can say GM, say hi,
but like start off like what do you want from that person?
Instead of saying, expecting, hey, how are you?
If I know who you are,
like if people in this panel said that to me, okay.
Because I know who they are. I'm like, yo, what's up? But if I don't know who you are, you're sending
a code DM. I think the best thing is just say hi GM, and then just go right at it. Right. Go
right at it. It's like, what do you do or something like that. Right. And go soft too. It's not like
crazy, like a whole paragraph. Right. I know a lot of people like to read articles right now. I don't,
you know, a lot of people like to read articles right now. Uh, but like just whole paragraph, right? I know a lot of people like to read articles right now. I don't, you know, a lot of people like to read articles right now.
But like just something short, right?
And something like that, I think really helps there.
So yeah, Merhap, really appreciate that advice there.
And I see a lot of hands here,
but I actually want to go to my co-host real quick
and then I'll go to the hands.
And I'll actually love to go to Trev first
because I feel like his journey is a little different
because, you know, he's a smart dude.
So he worked a nice Web2 job and then somehow he ended up going to the dark side.
Okay.
I shouldn't say dark side, the light side, right, Trev?
But Trev, real quick from your journey, working in Web2, I guess the transition from Web2
to Web3, how is that like, or whatever you want to share your journey or even advice
for someone down there, maybe still has a Web two job, but trying to transition to web three?
No, definitely.
So hi, everyone.
Again, I am Shev.
If you didn't know, I am leading NHS and the check token at Anymocha Brands.
So I have been with Anymocha for the past three, four years now.
Prior to that, I was in Boston Consulting Group, working as a consultant, different industries,
coverage, kind of working with different clients, and learning. Basically Basically that is my first job out of college.
So I would say the transition is relatively smooth
I would say,
cause the days in Boston Consulting Group
I was also part-time D-Gen,
playing a lot of poker,
playing a lot of flipping a lot of jpgs and um and someday
and just got a phone call basically actually a cold dm on on linkedin and then the the head
hunter was like oh do you want to join any mocha um there is like this um position that maybe you are interested in and i was like oh that was
the time that i was super into xe infinity um and i have four uh scholars in philippines i was
flipping jpegs so i was like what any mocha is hiring and youca is hiring? And that is kind of the time where I feel like, let's go YOLO and go for it.
So I think, yeah, looking back is definitely God's work,
like opening doors.
And I believe Chinsanity had the opening doors experience
as well.
But I think
fast forwarding the past
four years into today,
basically starting to take over
a lot of stuff.
I do think
being
fluent and being able to make products and work with AI, probably it's one of the most important criteria or skill set that one could polish and have.
And to be honest, right now, there's just no excuse.
Everything is free, and you can try like hundreds of different
models. Just as long as you have internet, you can do that, right? So I believe that
being able to just go ahead and build something or find your passion and just go right at it
with some touch of AI. Because I think just today or this morning, I was just looking at
one friend sharing me this video clip, basically saying, I think it's NVIDIA CEO like Jensen Huang,
like there's this speech. And he's basically saying that the era is so different. Like previously, how we define smart, define success is, you know, by the ability to, you know, score high, rank high, and then, you know, get a stable job and, you know, get into like good companies and all that.
But with AI, the definition of smart is basically redefined, right?
Like you think you're a smart kid five years ago,
but right now, just a touch of an AI,
everyone can replace you and be as fast or productive or as smart as you,
if not a hundred times smarter, right?
So yeah, being able to work with AI
and being able to start building with AI
is definitely super important.
Yeah, yeah.
And you mentioned something, Trev,
about like LinkedIn, right?
And this is where I feel like
depending on how big the company is
and what they do, but like, do you advise, Trev, like someone, again, I feel like it depends on how big the company is and what they do.
But do you advise, Trev, someone...
Again, I feel like it depends on the company,
but maybe I'm wrong.
But do you advise maybe people looking for jobs as well
in crypto specifically?
Obviously in Web 2, like LinkedIn.
I mean, you got to be on LinkedIn.
But even for Web 3,
do you think it's a good idea to be on LinkedIn?
I think there's no harm, for sure.
It's like there's no cost.
But I do think LinkedIn,
yeah, actually, I think you should just set it up, right?
It's a free place for you to market yourself.
Even if you're very degen,
you can still be very degen you can still you know be very degen on on linkedin
so i feel like yeah it's it's free basically free marketing yeah yeah no that's interesting because
yeah i i haven't been on linkedin in a while and i kid you not some people from ct like added me
once and it's funny because it's people's real faces and their
real names I'm like who's this person and then I was like and then the title it says web three
something I'm like oh no someone from CT how did they find me they know my first name now no um
but yeah I guess like you said it doesn't hurt it just doesn't hurt uh Marianne I see you having
your hand up and down so uh I uh i feel like you have something to
say uh marian what's up sorry it's it's just my app bugging i think there are a few people that
had their hand up before me um i wasn't seeing anybody's hand up so i was just trying to make
it anyway if there's people before me please you know at this point when it comes to the hands like if i i don't know about
you guys if i click on someone's profile and come back to the spaces everyone's hand disappears
so i just see your hand marianne for now so let me go to you and then i'll move around the panel
here uh all right so um basically what i wanted to say about basically getting a job, especially in 2026.
So in my company, I hire every single week.
So I've been hiring every single week since end of 2024.
And the reason why we do that is because part of our model, so we work with helping retaining community members, community conversion, retention, building, stuff like that. And the reason why we hire this much is because every single client gets their own tailored,
dedicated executional team.
Because I don't believe that one community manager should be handling like five different
projects at the same time.
Anyway, the reason why I'm saying that is because I hire for every client more than
two to three roles myself.
I handle the hiring.
And so I'm just going to, based on pattern recognition and what made me hire people,
I'm just going to give a few tips.
If anybody's interested in getting hired, especially in crypto,
because most of the companies and projects that we've hired for have been crypto projects.
And I haven't looked at one singular CV that's like in a document or in a
PDF, if you know what I mean. All the people that we've hired, it's just because it's community
roles. It's not like a dev or anything like that. So I'm just talking about community related roles
like community manager, an assistant for that community manager, strategist, social media
manager and stuff like that. And so the few things that I personally really look manager, a strategist, social media manager, and stuff like that.
And so the few things that I personally really look at,
first of all, is their X profile.
What does it look like?
What does the bio say?
Do they already work with like six different projects
and then they're also applying for a new role?
That is like a red flag for me.
Because like you can't really focus on seven projects at the same
time. You know, like, yeah, yeah. I mean, and, and I don't really like that, personally. So,
so this is one thing I look at their profile, their bio, what what do their content look like?
Have they been, do they know how the X culture works? Because that's really important. So this is the first thing I look at.
The second thing I really look at and notice is what are they saying in the DM when they reach out?
Or in the comment?
Because I do post a lot.
And a lot of people think my posts are engagement for me
because I post them a lot.
But I genuinely hire every single week.
So there's always need for more people.
So the way that they comment and the way that they DM,
for example, if they send a really huge block of text
with no structure to that text,
it's a little bit harder for me to notice it and actually read it.
But very important things that made me hire people
has been how they have impacted other projects as well.
Things that they've done to help other projects communities grow or their own community grow that
are very different than the normal Royal Rumble and Gardik Discord stuff. When there's like an
element that is a little bit different and they're talking about it like briefly, I think that is
very impressive and it makes me want to talk to them. If they tell me
miss or ma'am, it makes me not want to hire them because I feel like if you see me as your superior
and this is important because this is very important because a lot of people don't know,
don't know that and that is just for me. I don't know if other people feel the same way
but if someone is telling me miss, it means that they're feeling a little, maybe like this is how it sounds.
And I'm really sorry if this is not what it means.
But psychologically, it feels like
they're treating me as their superior,
but I only want to hire people that are better at me,
that are better at me,
or else I can do it myself, right?
And if they're better than me at what they want to do,
if they're better than me at like community management to do if they're better than me i like
community management they should they should talk to me like hey marianne how are you doing
let's this is what i do one two three i've i've done one two three with this project i think we
can do great things together because they're going to be leading this community they're going to be
the community manager we like to call it community relationship manager. And so, if they're coming in
in a submissive form, how are they
going to lead a whole community?
So this is a very important thing.
God forbid I'm not respecting a woman.
I mean, if you're
talking...
Didn't Merhab say that on the DMs?
No, I mean,
I mean, if you're...
I don't know, I wouldn't even like imagine me talking to you
chinsanity and telling you hey mister can i please you know it doesn't feel right it doesn't
feel right at least in crypto in corporate and the corporate world is very different because they
they really value they really value titles but here it's a little different especially if it's
someone you talk to on the timeline etc and then the last point is
how punctual they are like if we set a meeting if we're talking on telegram if they are late if
they show up uh as are they taking care of like their image when it comes to not not the appearance
but just showing up on time um coming prepared and stuff like that so this is like the few points
one of them was a little bit controversial,
so I hope nobody took it the wrong way.
Yeah, no, no.
If you want a job at Kiwi,
just call Marianne Mommy and you'll get it.
Yeah, and tell me that you don't wear pants
when you're on spaces.
Marianne, you're going to get all these DMs
calling you Mommy and no pants.
I'm going to block so many people tonight.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to block so many people tonight i'm pretty sure i'm gonna block so many people oh my god yeah no first of all appreciate marianne coming from the employer
side of things i think that was really helpful for someone in the audience kind of like wondering
you know from the employer side like what are they thinking how are they thinking about hiring
people and also the last thing you said about punctuality like it's such a huge and i know so simple in web
three and i'm guilty of being late in meetings or missing meetings too okay i gotta admit i'm
guilty of that but it it really if you are like punctual especially in web three like you show
like when you schedule a call you actually show up to the call right again i know this is very
simple but many times i'm'm sure Marianne and everyone in
this panel has had that, people don't show up to calls, right? They schedule calls or they forget
and stuff like that. So just that in itself is already really like, yeah, it's already kind of
puts you, differentiates yourself from the pack, right? From your cold cold competitors, right?
And also DMing, right? I think that's one thing that Marianne brought up that was, yeah, it's an interesting perspective, right?
Don't call me this and that, right? And sometimes I also have to take into account that some people
maybe in their... Because Web3 is such an international place, sometimes in their culture,
that's how they do things,
right? There's something I noticed where like, there's some people from some other places,
right? They're like really direct with their DMs. And other times people are just like super not
direct with DMs, right? So I was like, okay, this might be a more of a cultural thing,
not like you're trying to be rude or anything. But no, that's a very interesting, you know,
perspective. And Marianne, I got to ask this for the culture, right?
For someone in the audience.
But Marianne, are you hiring right now?
Can people get in your DMs or people can apply to any roles?
Right this second, no.
But I'm going to pin a form in the comments.
So we keep a database for the moments where there is no active hiring.
And then whenever there's an opportunity,
we filter based on the responses because sometimes clients ask for specific time zones
and stuff like that.
So we filter out and we reach out to people.
And so yeah, I'll just link the form in the comments
and whoever feels like just dropping themselves,
they'll be in our database forever.
So that could be cool.
Yeah, let's go, let's go.
Appreciate that, appreciate that advice
there marianne uh let me go to the other hands here i see them now they're not disappearing yet
uh let me go to crypto grid crypto grid welcome to the show what's up my friend
gmg man uh one thing that i have to say like if if you're growing and you brand yourself as a no-pants guy, I wonder what's the next stage of your branding.
Regarding the jobs, I was actually someone that was looking for a job for a while.
I worked as a research analyst at ChainGPT at the first.
And that job, I got through the connection.
I sent around 100 applications, probably even more.
And most of them, I kind of got faded at one point.
And the way how I got the next job, the current one,
is again through somebody that knew me from the spaces, from the Twitter.
So I feel like this is probably one of the best ways for people.
You kind of have to become visible.
I know many people will speak about the skill sets and this stuff,
but I feel like growing your personal brand
and getting known to people,
if you can find super unique way as a no pants guy
for example that's like super memorable right and it will be helpful in the long run i think this is
also important what marian said for example i can't even say why is that like the reason why
people put multiple things under their profile is because like there's a lot of people that will try to get you
as a free internship or something like that. So I actually know many people from Philippines and
from different areas. They're working at Chief for different things where they're kind of paid
literally either zero, either very close to zero. like i know many people that are kind of
looking for the better opportunities consistently you know and it's not like that they're paid like
mid-range to relatively low they're like paid very very low you know and like i actually got
like people messaging me i can find reply guy for you for $20 a month.
I would feel personally bad to do that to someone,
in my opinion.
Is that a real number?
$20 a month?
I think it's $20 a week,
but it's still super low.
It's extremely low.
No, I appreciate you sharing that crypto grid.
Yeah. No, no, appreciate you sharing that crypto grid. Yeah. I feel, you know, like, from the perspective of somebody that was looking for a job, like,
the prices are kind of all over the place.
And like, even though we are like advocating for transparency in a web space, I feel we
are like way far away from that.
And also in terms of skill set, I agree with you as well.
There are some basic things that people don't fulfill,
like coming to events and time and things like that.
I feel it's really bad from the professional side,
from the people that are looking for the job.
Most of the people won't turn for the job like most of the people
want to turn the camera like and it's not the boxing thing it's just like they don't having
they don't have a proper microphone or camera or anything so just some maybe other perspective
than most of the people will give you know crypto grit first of all i appreciate you coming up and
kind of giving your takes and advice there about building personal brand. And I think, yeah, we, we, we all know that that's a huge thing,
but also want to hone in a little bit. This might get a little spicy about like salary.
That's something, yeah, that, that I've noticed even personally, like when I take jobs and stuff,
like the, in terms of transparency, it's kind of like all over the place. I feel like, you know,
being in web three and stuff. And I say that because coming from the web 2 world at least it's different obviously in different countries and stuff but
where i'm from in the u.s at least some states have to like disclose like what their salary
at least not exactly their salary but the range depending on experience they would say that
right um which is interesting because in web 3 i don't see it as
much uh obviously like i there might be reasons again we work in an international um you know
environments and so a lot of people have different things and and other things or maybe people
you know depends on the region the pay and stuff like that so there's always that in in a sense
in play but no that's that is an interesting thing you brought up that i feel like can open
a whole can of worms right on on the job boards you will see these salaries range ranges but like
when you speak with people or when somebody on xposed that he's looking for people in most of the cases you won't know the range you
know and the range can be literally like from 100 150 bucks and it can be like 10 to 15k so it's
it's a huge range right yeah yeah yeah no that's a that's a whole different type of topic but yeah
it's something that is really interesting there and um something to keep in mind something to keep in mind that and uh yeah appreciate that take
their crypto grid i saw maximus reacting like crazy uh when you're talking about salary so maybe
he has a spicy take there uh maximus what's up yo yo yo what's good uh thanks for having me
yeah to be honest i have a lot of takes so let's go step by step uh but yeah i won't
take the mic for too long because i see some hands as well uh yeah like very interesting topic i
always love to talk about jobs uh and yeah here i have a breakdown for you like a few tips the main tips from my personal experience and first one is of course
connecting with people not just farming followers numbers or likes engagement but actually connect
with people find common interests work together on something like join spaces or just you can build
together on something like join spaces or just you can build like when we talk
build something with people it doesn't mean like you have to build a whole
company or project you can just basically host spaces like Chinsanity
with scene right now with chef they are hosting co-hosting you're already making
something together so the first point is connecting with people make a strong
friendships um exchange experiences and so on and so on that's how these people uh will get back to you uh when when they need a person uh with a skill like you have uh second point talk about
your ambitions i think mer have said about it uh To the right people, of course, and knock on doors when you feel ready.
And even if you are scared, still tell about your ambitions to the people.
Even if you don't have a super, super strong connection with this person,
but you know that this person might have something for you just talk about
it uh the next one is very very important one uh and chin it relates to our situation sometimes
it's a matter of chance so you have you must to be open to suggestions, opportunities and changes.
Guys, I got, not my first job, but I got a job with OnChain Foundation.
And it lasted for a year.
Thanks to Chinsanity. And thanks to my yes back then.
Chinsanity just invited me to be a speaker on that panel.
I agreed. just invited me to be a speaker on that panel i agreed and to be honest with you i had a doubt before before before that i thought like okay maybe i will do some stuff but then i thought
no i will manage it i will say yes i joined that space and i heard that they might need a new space
host and after the space i immediately wrote to that person and
they hired me a bit later in a few days so this was just a matter of chance and
if I would say no to that opportunity I would never get it so this is my biggest
advice always say yes and always take these chances. And of course, all of this is impossible
if you're not documenting your journey,
if you're not building your personal brand, as Marianne said,
because your personal brand is a proof of your work,
proof of everything.
And if you have a skill, you have to document your journey,
you have to share your skill set, what you're doing, how you're doing it, how you're improving, growing and so on and so on.
So, and one more point, last one.
Back then, I remember like two, three years ago, I had a lot of one-on-one calls with people.
And some people said, you can go with four or five skills.
And it will be good.
Some people said.
No you should stick to one niche.
You should build your personality.
And your skill set around one niche.
And I had doubts about it myself.
But right now.
After two years let's say.
I convinced that you need to have one or maximum two skills and grow with it.
It's impossible to have a lot of skills, to have like a long bio telling about everything.
So yeah, that's it.
And in our realities, you need to have a sustainable skill because without it, it won't last for a long time.
Yeah.
No, that's a really good advice there.
I don't even remember, Maximus.
It's been so long, right?
But no, that's cool to hear.
And even similar for me, since we're on spaces topic
and other things that Maximus you were talking about,
but even in my journey, how I got hired as a space host with even Unfungible back in the day was because I
would literally just hop on so many space Unfungible spaces that no one could ignore me and you know
the crazy thing is the reason why I did that wasn't because I wanted to get hired as a space
host at Unfungible actually it was because I was just trying to build my brand and also see if there's opportunities for projects,
want to hire a space host
because at that time I was working,
actually, yeah, at that time,
I was working with a client already.
And so just trying to build my brand,
build my skill set,
and so kind of get myself out there.
And then like Maximus,
opportunities dropped in my lap, right?
Just because of spaces.
Now, obviously, not everyone's going to be a space host and stuff like lap, right? Just because of spaces. Now, obviously not everyone's going to be a space host
and stuff like that, right?
That's just unique.
But I feel like sometimes on spaces,
like I think about like Bandit, for example, right?
We are, I'm sure a lot of us or have heard of Bandit
or have hopped on a space or listened to a space, right?
Obviously it's not the only thing,
but I obviously feel like one of the reasons
why he got hired by Kaito, right?
It was because every day, almost every day, he would host a space or speak on a space and put himself out there, write posts and stuff like that.
And then lo and behold, I remember he hopped on Spaceman last week talking about it on MySpace even and saying like, yeah, someoneyle just like you know dm them like yo you want a job because i like your opinions about you know this that thing and that
and then he worked for kyle right um another person when it comes to spaces right uh chill
pill right chill pill again he's already a big creator right but now he's working with wall
chain right again he hosts the spaces um talks about you know give his feedback
about info fine stuff like that and then you know and then now he's working with wall chain and
other things right and so yeah i like again not everyone obviously will get opportunities through
spaces or host spaces and stuff like that but you know space is a good avenue i feel like especially
when you're starting out to just be known right right? Be known and to be like human, right? Because I think a lot of times in CT, like we don't know who's real,
who's legit, who's a scammer and stuff like that, or who's like just not in it for the right reasons,
right? And so not saying spaces is like great, the best way for that. But you know, guys, right?
When people start yapping, you kind of feel like, hey hey do I like mesh with this person do I not and stuff like that and so but yeah Maximus appreciate that opinion there and why would you give me a take Marianne had her hand up she just shot her hand up so I just want to go to her and then I'll go to the rest of the hands here. Marianne what's up?
I wanted to say that I, like just a moment ago,
I just boasted that after trying streaming,
writing long form and short form videos,
replies, DMs, everything,
spaces have literally been the highest ROI activity
I've experienced on X since like 2022.
Every time I try everything,
and I do everything consistently.
It's not like I stop the rest,
but spaces are always the highest ROI activity.
And I'm sad like there's less open mic spaces like this one than before.
But the other thing that I also wanted to say is that before Kiwi
and like the whole company that we're running right now,
I had a full-time job at CDFI.
I was a project manager and growth marketer.
And I got this job purely because of connections.
Because I had like I was building my brand.
I was speaking on spaces all the time. And then they had an opening and I just messaged the person that
posted the opening and there was a meta alchemist actually the one who's like the founder and CEO
he was like hey talk to this person and then I was hired and before that I also had another job
with another company that I also got because of connections and I was doing a shit
on freelancing as well community-wise and all of them were through connections so work on your
connections as much as possible without asking for anything in return and eventually you'll find
great opportunities yeah and Marian you mentioned spaces and I know Maximus mentioned that as me as well, but like, how would you, maybe even on top of spaces, like how would you advise someone to build that connection? Maybe from starting off, you know, like not many, not known, not many followers, like how could someone do that?
small to medium spaces.
And I posted this in an article,
I think that I posted yesterday.
I was like, if you really want to grow,
don't focus on hosting your own.
Focus on joining other people's spaces
and make sure you speak.
And then when you speak
and then when it's another person's space,
just be subtle, be like,
hey, I really like your space, Jintanity.
I just dropped you a follow.
Let's connect.
Don't always say let's connect
because it's now not a good thing to say. Back in the day, it was a better thing to say. To say, hey, I dropped you a follow. Let's connect. Don't always say let's connect because it's now not a
good thing to say. Back in the day, it was a better thing to say. Just say, hey, I dropped you a follow.
I like this last post that you made. I dropped you a DM about something that happened to me
similar to that. Thank you for inspiring me. And that will just give you a high chance of a person
that you admire DMing you back. And then if you have a good take, just try to either be funny or controversial
or just try to have like a special edge.
Don't monologue and like have a pontonality.
And then I'm pretty sure a few people will follow you
if they fuck with you.
So, but yeah, focus on small to medium spaces
and try to bet on things.
Like one of the very funny story,
one of the few things that I was doing
when i had
like 5 000 8 000 followers before shill and villain was like a controversial with like token stuff and
that he was just hosting spaces i hopped on his space and everybody was scared of him for some
reason i hopped on space i was like what's missing from your spaces being the greatest is having me
as a co-host and then he and then he added me as a co-host for like multiple spaces and then i got to like 12 000 followers so you just have to like do funny stuff i still do that by the way
you'll find me sometimes under people's comments like leila hermosi today mr b style i'm always
like hey would you hop on a podcast i still do that i still do that every single day
marianne still trolls every single day uh no but I actually would love to see you back in the day
You know, grinding on these spaces
And saying, you know, the best opportunity
Is having me as a co-host
I actually haven't had anyone do that yet
Even though I'm posting spaces with two
Wouldn't you do it?
Wouldn't you do it if you had like no co-hosts
And someone was like, hey, I think having me as a co-host would be so dope
And you'll be like, oh my god, let's give it a shot
Like, that's so cool I would be like dude this person got balls
like okay they got you off guard you'd be like what what do i do just hop as a co-host dude i
don't know whatever but here's the thing right here's the point right jokes aside like if you
really want something just go for it right and And do things sometimes outside of the box,
right?
Something that's surprising,
something that makes you stand out,
right?
Like I think.
Insanity,
go to my replies right now.
You'll find me under Mr.
Beast,
under Leila Hormozy,
under the boring marketer.
You'll find me under a lot of people telling them,
Hey,
whenever you want,
hop on my podcast and we'll talk about this,
this,
and that.
And you never know what if someone says yes, and I'll have this amazing allure right and this is this is like similar to what
murhab was saying you should you should have no shame you should just go for things and do things
and you never know yeah 100 and also i think it helps for you marianne that you have a badge
so you're premium plus so then elan you know boost your your comments so who knows right
you might you gotta shoot your shot just got to shoot your shot guys sometimes um but like like like everyone's been shoot or shoot right shout out to you my
but one comment someone someone also brought up i forgot who it was but like the let's connect thing
guys like yes i would yeah i i would highly encourage you not to do that in the comments because I get that a lot.
I'm sure a lot of, you know, you guys in the panel as well.
And it just sounds like, hey, I just followed you.
Let's connect.
I'm like, you just follow me because you want me to follow you and because you want something from me.
And once I don't respond, you're going to unfollow me.
That's why my numbers, every time I wake up, always decrease.
You know, I always wonder, why is it, you anyways, no, no, no, appreciate that there. I see a lot of hands here. I promise
I'll go to it. And I also see a lot of requests. Again, really appreciate you guys being here.
We maxed out the panel. I hope Elon increases the speaker panel because yeah, it's just more fun.
Maybe it's bad, but like it's more fun.
Like 10, 10 speakers, not enough. It's just not enough sometimes for some amazing people here, but I'll do my best to bring you guys up here. But I want to, I want to go to my co-host actually
to Cindy and I have, I'm curious about her journey as a creator working full time in web three.
Cindy, what are maybe some advice that you you have or maybe from your journey about like
yeah i don't even know like were you in web 2 before web 3 but like yeah i i think some people
can get some um yeah some encouragement from your story and stuff like that um cindy
hey yeah um i guess it's been kind of a long journey uh yeah i was in web 2 before web 3 in working in data privacy for marketing
um or marketing for data privacy i mean but uh i got into web 3 kind of just like i think what
everyone's saying here you just gotta do do stuff it's okay i just gotta do stuff um
do stuff. It's okay. You just got to do stuff. Like posting, replying, or just like writing
articles, making videos. How I got started was writing on Medium. I just kept writing about my
experiences, how to do stuff, how I was like finding NFTs on Tezos. And then a couple startups
reached out and asked if I would help them do marketing for their companies.
So I feel like being in this space, especially within crypto, it's really easy to kind of, I guess, get noticed or create these opportunities for yourself.
If you're, I guess, creating content or reaching out to people, talking to people and just interacting a lot more in this space.
Yeah. And you mentioned Medium medium what year was that was that you're like when did people use yeah i mean no it's interesting yeah
yeah i think probably 2020 29 2020 yeah okay okay yeah because back in the day right don't
like nft projects or just projects in general, they're like, go to my Medium, right? For Alpha or something like that, right?
Yeah, I think before articles on X existed, people were writing on Medium. But I haven't seen a Medium article in a while. Sorry if you're still using it. But articles on X are the meta right now, for sure. yeah that's crazy so okay so then medium happened right and then somebody you know someone reached
out to you and then so i i guess like how was that transition from like web 2 to web 3 like
is that something you wanted to do or you're just doing it for fun yeah definitely i mean i was
always interested in the crypto space um but before writing and like working in it i was kind
of just like holding tokens i was like wasn't too sure if there was much else to do to do um but I personally love kind of the freedom and working with such creative people
everyone's got really great ideas and are kind of just like willing to like collaborate I think one
of my very first projects in this space I just like were I just kind of like posted on Twitter
and then someone reached out in my DMs and we just worked on a project together.
And both of us launched an NFT collection, built a community, and have never, ever, ever talked before that or met IRL.
And it just worked out.
So I think that's kind of the fun part of being in the space.
And it's kind of like a personality trait I think you find in most people here.
And I think we should all just kind of take advantage of that and like work and collaborate more.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, that's, again, this is where I think, I feel like there's this common theme where it's like, you got to put yourself out there, right?
You can't just like, you know, DM like one or two person a day and say like, oh, like the job is going to come to me.
You got to like work for it. Right. You got to like, like for everyone here, right. Marianne
shooting her shot at spaces, Cindy, you know, back in the day, medium, writing something on medium,
all of you guys, right. Streaming, right. Doing that, interviewing founders, getting self known.
And so like, you know, you got to put in the work as well
into it right and not expect it it's gonna happen overnight right like you again like even my story
where you know growing through ct getting jobs through ct right it wasn't like one week and then
i got a job it was literally three or four months of grinding, of hopping on spaces for five times,
five days a week, right? Hopping on like three spaces per day, right? And just sharing my takes
and just growing like that, right? And so, yeah, I really think the opportunities are there,
right? But like, you just got to put in the work, guys. You got to put in the work and you got to learn from your mistakes and learning.
Hey, how can I like, like improve here and there?
Like for me, again, I think, Marianne, you mentioned this, but like having a clean profile as well is something that I look for.
And what I mean by that is having just a clean like PFP and also like a name, because i think a lot of times i i don't know about
i'm sure for you guys right where i think there's a real person behind the account right and that
means well that wants to grow but x thinks you're like a bot right so there's times where you you go
to the probably spam section of the comments and i've noticed that because i'm still kind of weird
i like to check sometimes that i know those are actually real people, but it's just maybe the content you post
or your PFP or your screen name, it just seems like a bot, right? And so I would highly encourage
people to just have a really clean PFP, right? It doesn't need to be an NFT. I think it helps,
right? And you also unlock a community that
helps you right to engage and stuff like that i think it helps um but i really encourage
just having a clean pfp like not having something that's like super weird and looking and stuff like
i know you want to show that you're unique but when you're starting out right it's kind of tough
right to really get noticed if it's like that, especially on spaces, because as a host, I'm sure a lot of people on this panel could say this, right? But as a host,
nothing scares me more when I bring up someone and they just do crazy crap on my spaces. Like,
it's happened before too. It's happened before they post like crazy stuff on the Jumbotron and
they're just there for trolling, right? So yeah. And also for the screen name, this is just my
pet peeve, okay? It might not
be. I just think
having a clean, like just
having a name that's
people easy to pronounce
and not using emojis
I think is better. This is my opinion.
Again, once you get bae, you can emoji it up
but when you're starting out, it just makes it more
clean. Just my perspective. And also in the bio right i unless you're like a degen defy stuff again unless
you're like a bigger account i think having tickers having like emojis and this it just doesn't look
clean i don't know it doesn't look as professional right i know we're in clean. I don't know. It doesn't look as professional, right? I know we're in crypto Twitter.
We don't want to be professional.
We don't want to be LinkedIn.
But if you want a job, right?
Sometimes you've got to polish it a little bit, right?
You got to polish it up.
I like one thing that Leon Aboud had one of his videos.
He's talking about like DJs during crypto conferences, right?
Wearing like sandals and shorts.
He's like, guys, guys, at least put on pants. Yes, guys, put on
pants in real life.
I may not put on pants.
Just clean up a little
bit.
I can't believe
I said something about putting on your pants.
That's so hypocritical
of me.
Anyways,
there were a hand, but
at first I was like, wait, Shiv's here? hypocritical of me uh but anyways uh oh there were a hand but
at first i was like wait ships here wait what what since when ships here because you know that that was just thing uh but perhaps i see you guys here what's up yeah i know i know i guess you wanna
wrap it up but quick uh quick take on the PFP thing.
I've been rocking maybe before the Penguin, like an NFT for like two years,
which is a well-known project and everything, but the price difference is noticeable.
Like someone told me once, if you come to our room
and there's someone wearing a Casio and someone
else wearing an AP, you look at the guy with the AP first. So even though you're so talented
and you have maybe better skill than someone with an AP, but while you're rocking a Casio,
it's hard to notice first. So yeah, rocking a good PFT from a well-known brand is a plus.
So shout out to my penguins and no disrespect to any other collections.
Yeah. And again, like, I think it's the investment, putting the investment first.
Now, I know we're all in different situations in life and stuff like that.
Maybe we can't afford an NFT, although you know i feel like right now
and these are quite even the repable ones are quite affordable again if you want to invest
in yourself like even for me like example like me getting a penguin at that time you know those
really bear market eth was like at less than 2k right so i i didn't it didn't cost me too much
it's still a lot it's still a lot the Pudgy. But I had the intention not to flip or anything. I had intention like I want to build my brand. And at
that time, Pudgy just announced their Walmart partnership. This is in 2023. I was like, yo,
like I want to be a part of something. I feel like really special, be part of the community
and grow my brand using a Pudgy so like i i you know saved up some
money and i was like yo i'm gonna i'm gonna do this i'll buy this little pudgy and yeah i think
it has helped me you know not only i know a lot of the pudgies themselves the community but like
also uh i think it's helped me grow my brand and stuff like that and so um yeah yeah appreciate
that merhab uh i see a couple hands here i see new hands here really
appreciate you guys being patient so let me go to uh yi noosa uh hopefully i'm sorry i'm pushing
that name uh but welcome to the show what's up my friend yeah it was yes it's perfectly
it's actually pretty correct almost everybody's like seems um afraid but it's just exactly as you pronounce it exactly as we
seem so yeah this has been a really fun space so far like i think i just connected with
maddie like i just commented on that on that post on that comment also and she was like
that you know we connected with adjun so that was fun that was fun so yeah it was really
nice marian has been cooking articles back to back.
So yeah, I sit out so I see everyone in Senzi.
So yeah, just want to come on and say it's been really great so far.
Shots my shot at Marian in the GM's again.
Since she puts it out there, she busts on herself.
So no problems.
So yeah, it's been a really great space since I'm looking right now.
Yeah, definitely looking forward
to hearing more from everyone.
Really great so far.
And all the no pants off
as well,
which is,
no problems.
Yeah,
appreciate you coming up.
Appreciate you coming up.
And I like your Bricktopian.
It's pretty sick,
pretty noticeable.
So yeah,
yeah,
appreciate you coming up here.
I see another hand here.
Let me go to it.
InSensee has been crushing it with clipping.
Again, hopefully I'm pronouncing it right.
Or I'm sorry, I'm bushing it.
But InSensee, what is up?
Welcome to the show.
Hey, yo, Chinsanity.
Thanks for letting me out, man.
And yes, guys.
Okay, so this is like an example of taking your shot, right?
So like I'll clip stuff, I'll post stuff.
And then I'll send to Chinsanity, tag tagging him telling him this is stuff that i did about you and stuff like
that right so put yourself out there and then like you know i i'm so grateful that he finally like
took notice of me so i think this is a perfect example of like something like that that you want
to do by putting yourself out there right um yeah like if like, if he doesn't notice, so be it.
I'm just going to keep sending him.
If he does, then, you know, stuff like that can happen.
Yeah, so I do want to share, like, my journey as well.
I think something that I can bring to the table here as an employee,
so a little bit of context, I work two different Web3 jobs, actually,
two different wet tree jobs actually as an employee.
as an employee.
My first job is I work in compliance
at a centralized exchange actually.
So I've been in the space for about four years now
working in compliance in crypto.
So this was a time when like regulations
were not an actual thing.
So I was still doing like payments at the
point of time and then like um someone was looking for like a compliance in crypto and then they
offered me an opportunity um so you just need to understand at a point of time like nobody was like
into this into compliance at all right nobody cared about compliance in crypto and uh i took
a gamble basically going into this space so i think like a lesson that you can learn from this thing is like be there early when no one else is.
And then you just got to gamble if like it's something that you want to do.
If you think that, you know, you're still young and whatnot,
like you can gamble, just take your shot, man.
And then like just go all in from there.
And then I've been like in like three or four different
centralized exchanges and OTC brokers in the crypto space for the past four years now.
Yeah, and then like just to share like my second crypto job,
which I've gotten, which I got it like about one month ago.
So I'm a clipper for Zyber Inc., an AI robotics company.
So whatever you see from the brand account, it's me clipping for them
behind the scenes of their spaces
and stuff like that.
And their streams basically.
So whatever it's like they're posting,
it's all me that's sending it
over to the team.
So I do think there's a lesson here
that I can share as well.
I didn't get this job, like, you
know, by chance or whatsoever.
Like I actually worked for it in
the sense where
I met their city lead slash head of growth, right?
A while back when he was at a previous company
called Quantrix.
At a point of time, we connected and stuff like that.
And then when he left the company,
I actually reached out to him and I asked him,
hey, why do you leave?
Is there something wrong and stuff like that?
So we spoke a bit and stuff like that. And at the end of the conversation,
I just dropped him one message. Hey, I'm into clipping. I'm doing some clipping stuff.
If you need a clipper at your new company, just hit me up. And then he just told me,
noted. And then I just left it as that. And then we didn't speak. A couple of weeks later,
he reached out to me again and he said, you still available and then of course like the point
of time I'm yes I'm telling him like yes right and then the next thing that I did was like what
I did was I clicked their spaces I prepared a demo for him to see and then I just sent it over
and and they liked it um and he sent it to the team and And then I just, and then on that, from that moment, I was onboarded into the team.
Of course, what I sent to him at that point of time is very different from what it actually
looks like now, what is coming up from the brand account, because I improved and they
demanded more from me and whatnot, right?
But at that point of time, I think what you need to do is, what I did, I think that was
different as well was like, I actually took the initiative to do a demo.
I don't think many people were actually bothered to do a demo
and just go like, hey, just take me for the sake of taking me, right?
And but to prove a point that I actually want this,
I actually did something that was like, I think,
above and beyond for him to, you know, okay,
this guy like actually serious about this thing.
And then yeah, now like like i'm working through web
three jobs man yeah um i hope there's something like of value to the people here who are looking
for jobs yeah yeah no first of all appreciate you coming up and sharing kind of your journey
and stuff because i was inspired i was fired up i was like yo let's go and also like just to prove
a point as well it's like it doesn't really matter like how many followers you have in a sense where you just got to bring value, right?
Like, and since he like working two web three jobs, right?
Even his story about clipping, right?
Just putting himself out there, tagging people, you know, hopping on spaces.
Yeah, just showing the value as a clipper, right?
Like, I think if you guys are looking for a skill to learn in 2026,
I really feel like clipping is going to be a big thing
because I think video content,
yes, video content is still going to be a big thing,
especially on crypto Twitter, right?
I know back in web two,
like videos and stuff has been around,
but in crypto Twitter,
I feel like it's kind of new
where like a lot,
I feel like you're going to see a lot more of your favorite KOLs trying to do live streams, do in-life podcasts and stuff like that.
And it's a great opportunity for anyone to just clip that, right?
And then tag people.
I think that's amazing, right?
Just because sometimes they get noticed, right?
Because I'll be real with you, right?
You know, big creators, they like to be known.
They like to be shown that they're like the thing, right? They, you know, inflates the ego, right? You know, big creators, they like to be known. They like to be shown that they're like the thing, right? They, you know, inflates the ego, right? So one way you can play, it's like
inflate their ego, go crazy. And then they'll be like, yo, I like you because you make me look
good. That's life. Honestly, guys, that's just, I'm just being real. I'm just being real. That's
life, right? And you never know the opportunities that might happen, you know, if you do that,
like, like, and since he, you know if you do that like Nsenzi has been
doing and stuff like that and so
no appreciate that and again yes hopefully
inspire someone down in the audience
you know you guys are
thinking about how what skills
you know how to reach out to people
and stuff like that but yeah
appreciate that there
I see your hand but before I do
from live from the Trump airport,
I want to go to Damien
first and just hear
about his journey too, my other Singaporean
friend. Damien, I'd love to
learn from, I actually don't even know, your story
like working for a project before
BZ, getting into Web3
or even advice to how to
work with Web3 projects
and stuff like that. Dam Damien we're still there
we'd love to hear from you
hey can I guess
cut in here sorry
I'm from Singapore as well
so I'm quite surprised
that there's someone else
from Singapore here as well
nice to meet you Damien
sorry
yeah by your accent
fellow shinky
alright
yeah
thanks thanks
sorry
sorry sorry
sorry about that
no no you're good
I always notice
when you say
when you guys pronounce three, it's tree.
So I was like, okay, it's from Singapore.
No, you gotta catch the la and the singlish and stuff like that, man.
When you come to Singapore for token, right?
You'll catch all the singlish around here.
Yeah, it's hard to hide the accent.
I try my best every time.
Yeah, David! So you asked how I every time. Yeah, David.
So you asked how I got started.
Yeah.
I started from a reply guy.
So like echoing similar themes
of what other people mentioned earlier,
just putting myself out there,
making the connections.
Like I always hear,
I mean, people always mention
that your network is your
net worth and i think it's especially true in crypto in web3 on crypto twitter so yeah i just
put myself out there there's a reply guy slowly gain followers started tweeting people started
reading my tweets and then as the because i started in like 2019 so as the industry grew the following grew the brand grew and
everything just like culminated into like today it was never like planned or it was never like
my intention it was just like i think it's like chance and luck but it's also
because i took the risk with crypto and i also like grinded and put myself out there and the
chances and opportunities just created themselves and i was more of like a trader and only got like
a crypto job officially in like 2024 so slightly over a year ago so for like the
first three four years didn't have a crypto job because also i was still schooling and in college
i only graduated like last year 2025 so yeah i only got a crypto job in 2024 doing bd for a
software house and yeah as for bz so I'm also doing like two jobs,
two roles.
So yeah,
for BZ,
I only joined in like
September last year,
a few months ago.
So yeah,
that's like a quick summary.
Yeah.
Again,
like even from
your journey,
right?
Like grinding,
right?
Like in a way,
right?
Getting yourself known
through reply dying,
right?
And then, you know then finding roles through that.
I was just curious, even working with BZ and stuff like that,
how were you able to get that role?
What did you do?
Yeah, the first thing is I started tweeting about Pokemon cards in May, June.
So it was before everyone is talking about it now.
So it was, it's not like super early, especially because Pokemon cards have been a thing for
a long time, but it was early enough, at least on crypto Twitter in Web3.
So I started tweeting about Pokemon cards and then started tweeting about
these platforms like bz courtyard and other similar platforms and the main handle of the
accounts followed me the projects and teams working there some of them followed me so
i was on that radar and i was one of the first few people mentioning the overlap of crypto and gambling and Pokemon cards.
So, and I gave my insights on markets and how the cards would perform.
And yeah, they did go up along with these platforms popping up and gaining popularity.
So yeah, I asked, I just asked if any project would be keen on bringing me on to help spearhead the growth of the platform.
So yeah, I spoke with a few of them and landed with VZ.
Nice. Nice. No, that's really cool.
The reason why I asked you that question, right?
Again, I just, someone in the audience, right?
Just again, I feel like the common theme here is just like put yourself out there, right? Again, I just, someone in the audience, right? Just, again, I feel like the
common theme here is just like, put yourself out there, right? Talk about the things that you like
to do and just like execute on it, right? And then you just never know how the opportunities
present itself, right? And again, I have to preface, it's not going to be a week. It's not
going to be a day, you know, one day, you know, just do it for one day or a week. It's going to be a day you know one day ever you know just do it for one day or a week it's going to be
months it's going to be months right it's going to be and some people maybe it's not right maybe
it is like you're lucky but like for for me you know even my journey and i'm sure a lot of people
can share uh with this like even people in the panel right now and even in the past where it
takes time right it just takes time and but you put in the reps you put in the past where it takes time, right? It just takes time and, but you put in the reps, you put in the work,
right?
And yeah,
you're going to make it,
you know?
I really believe that
you're going to make it.
And so,
Damien,
really appreciate
being authentic,
sincere,
genuine,
being yourself also helps a lot.
Like,
people will notice that
and know,
like,
you're a real one
and,
yeah,
give you opportunities
and,
yeah. Yeah, 100%, 100%. No, notice that and know like you're a real one and yeah give you opportunities and yeah yeah 100 100 uh no again really appreciate damien and for you guys you guys get some alpha
actually in the audience as well i actually when i was in dubai i got a chance to uh interview
the co-founder of bz and so excited to kind of release that in January. It was a really cool conversation.
And shout out to Damien for setting that up as well.
So be on the lookout for that.
Again, Damien, really appreciate you guys being here
and really appreciate my Asian friends
from the Asia time zone.
I know it's kind of late here.
Really, really appreciate it.
I know what it takes
because I'm not in the Asian time zone right now,
but man, dude, I used to host spaces at this time,
man. It's crazy.
Thank you for your acknowledgement of our
time zone. We appreciate you.
Sanza, since I have you here, bro. First of all,
it's been a minute, bro. Happy, happy
new year, my friend.
I am definitely missing our
meetings together
back in the day at Unfungible.
But how are you, Sansa?
Any tips, any advice for people about how to get a job from your journey and stuff like that?
Yeah, get the fuck off spaces.
No, I'm just kidding.
Well, I'm only half kidding, if I'm being honest.
But no, okay, I feel like I need to clarify because I kind of look like I'm trash talking you and I'm not.
What I'm trying to say is more of like, I feel like everybody just go on these spaces as like the community gathering.
Like, I just want friends.
Just give me all the friends.
Give me all the friends.
Make me feel good about being unemployed.
Make me feel good about being unemployed.
And make me feel good about my inability to go find a skill set.
And make something happen.
So I would say.
I mean it's a little harsh.
But it's kind of true.
And by kind of I mean it is.
But I would say it's more about being intentional about what you're doing um you know
i i look i mean i've been in the space for four years right um since 2021 and i didn't really
you know seek out getting a job here i just kind of happened upon it right as luck would have it
so i i'm probably not the best guy to go to a vice fondant
But I would definitely say it's really just about kind of
Figuring out what you what it is you want to do we we just had a Chris and I were just on the space and shotgun
Who who seems to be following me everywhere today? I think probably because I own a phone call
But um, yeah, he's just mad. I haven't called him back. Sorry, shotgun.
But, look, I would say it's really as simple as finding what you like to do,
mix it in with the industry a little bit, and kind of, I don't know.
Let me rephrase.
Finding what you like to do is where you find your personality.
That's where your personality shines through.
Most people don't have a personality.
Everyone wants to be the main character with the outline of a supporting actor.
There's no easy one way to do all this.
I would just simply say, kind of, this is such a cop-out answer, but enjoy the process.
Bro, just tell us how to get the Magic Keaton badge.
That's all we want to know, really.
Look.
Yeah, I kind of want to know that, too.
I kind of want to know how to get the what?
Magic Keaton badge.
You know what I'm talking about.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Look, look, the truth is you just got to have a personality. No, look, I'm kidding. I'm kidding.. Yeah, yeah, yeah, look, look, um, the truth is, uh, you just gotta have a
personality. No, look, I'm, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Uh, I got lucky. I got lucky. Um,
what I like to do was just be an idiot. And for some reason that shined through,
uh, to magic eat it. And they hired me for that. I'm, I'm literally a diversity personality hire
an Italian loud meatball, all that good stuff but yeah uh look
but let me just let me just sum it up really quickly in one sentence i just honestly explore
your skills that explore the skill sets that you want to explore don't don't explore the skill set
because some jackass brazilian in this in his own little favela told you to do so. Okay?
Make sure you're doing it because you want to.
But just really quickly, I want to give shotgun, you know, flowers.
Bro wrote a bunch of fucking articles for no reason other than just to write a bunch of fucking articles.
But that's the skill set.
That shows that he knows how to write so maybe
he'll get hired for writing a newsletter or some shit right but that's just one thing that he could
get hired for there's probably about i'm done yeah i i know you are i i saw your tweet and there's
probably 10 different roles that he could go for just based off of that skill alone But it pointless if he doesn't want to do any of these roles
So that's why I say
Explore the skill sets you want to explore
Otherwise, you're going to end up in a role that you're going to be really happy for
Solely for the sake of having a role
Not for the sake of having a job that you like
Somewhat like to do so that's just
my advice i think too many people are going for views and they're they're ending up in places they
don't want to be and then they end up depressed and crashed out and wonder why so yeah anyway
back over to you no no appreciate the sansa i was just laughing the whole time i appreciate you
coming up and uh if you don't know, like Sansa and Shotgun,
I know some people might be
newer to CT.
Like these guys used to host
a spaces show
every single day,
like literally every single day,
five times a week.
And the reason why I bring that up,
again, it goes back to like the,
well, the kind of,
I feel like the main theme
of this space is,
is like,
you got to put yourself out there,
right?
Obviously now we've seen,
you know,
them, you know, we see them in a timeline. they've grown an audience and stuff like that but they're
like yeah they they're like i was like started out somewhere right and they just work they grind
their way to where they are now and so uh yeah that's something i highly highly encourage you
guys kind of fucked you know because we used to do daily spaces and now sons that just walks one mile every day and he thinks that's enough okay first of all first of
all first of all first of all num nuts okay uh i do more than that i do more than that let's just
be clear here but no i chin i i want to kind of emphasize on your point doing those daily spaces made us realize what we didn't want to do
right we we went through we went through so many different possibilities in a matter of weeks
that we ruled out almost everything we knew we didn't want to do and there were a bunch of stuff
that we thought we wanted to do that we ended up realizing, no, we actually don't want to do any of that. Um, so I, I do think I am grateful for that at least. And then I would say to
everyone, that's why it's important to figure out what you want to do. Even if you're hesitant
about doing the damn thing. Yes. Time and effort are probably will get wasted, but what won't get
wasted is the lesson that you learn from doing the thing that
you do that you want to do anyway so it's there's lessons all around nothing ever goes wasted it's
more about making sure you know you're learning something from it so anyway i'm acting like a
fucking old man that's going on 36 anyway back over to you what's up onk what's up onk uh appreciate
you guys coming up here.
I got to go to Katsu.
Justin's been really patient, so I'm going to go to Katsu.
I'm going to go to Justin.
Katsu, what is up?
Where are you today?
Are you at the Trump airport?
What's up, my friend?
Okay, first of all, that's how you actually skip a line on the politest way as possible.
Shout out to Sansa and Shotgun
trading
on top of each other.
I know you guys are
crushing it on your own specific
things that
you're doing currently in the space.
I don't know. Sansa, you gotta
drink water and
try to
inhale first because I know you're running right now, bro.
I can hear it. I can feel it, bro.
No, I'm walking my dogs.
You're still collecting steps, so it's still the same thing.
So shout out to you, bro. But I know you're
stepping up your game in terms of your, like, health and wellness.
You're hitting it.
And might as well just once you're finished, your 100 miles, 100 days of a mile a day is time to step it up.
Maybe you could do it, like, a mile and a half per day, two miles a day.
That's how you progress.
It's also like what we do in the space.
Like you're never going to be successful
if you just focus on just being like staying
on the same position that you're currently working on.
And you're not going to grow if you're just happy with um not trying something that's not
that's not out that's outside of your comfort zone so might as well just do something that
will like progress and grow from like doing something that you and i know you're already
about to accomplish it but this is just my two cents that um for people that wants to try something
might might as well like if you hit a certain goal might as well try to improve yourself try
to market yourself and having a job don't be like stagnant and just try to improve um things on a
daily basis like try to have a baseline where you can um let's say you were like a clipper you were you
didn't you haven't been doing anything crazy but it's maybe it's time to for you to step up and
get to like improve your content and continue on marketing yourself on like having yourself
employed in crypto or in like any other businesses you want to go to so that's just
to make two cents that i want to add up yeah and look i sorry chen i didn't mean to hijack or
anything uh you know chen chen asked me one question and i went downhill from there but no
look um in all seriousness i i did want to emphasize a little bit kind of piggybacking
off of what katsu said i'm about to hit 100 days of running. The goal
is a mile a day minimum. I just passed, I'm about to pass the 130 mile mark today after
my, after that inclined walk, run, whatever I do. And it's one of these things that I started this solely as a way to, one, keep my health and fitness accountable, have some content to do and put up every day because it's the most personal thing I've done.
Right. That is pretty raw and authentic. You can't fake a run. you can't fake a walk a hike whatever it is
and so but that's that's because that's in the category of health and fitness maybe there's
something else maybe you are genuinely a good trading card collector whatever maybe you post
something like every week i'm gonna collect one or two cars that i really want and you just
update everyone every week there's more of an audience than you think for that right and maybe
you're a car guy like like chris is or was whatever i don't know where he is at this point
maybe you want to do something like i don't know i don't fucking know cars but maybe you want to do
something like where you i'm gonna learn about a new car every week or whatever right it's there's more there's someone out there that's gonna relate to it may not be as many
people you think but it the there's there's power in being truly authentic to the point where
you're not crashing out thinking about what the posts You also don't have to spend hours of time researching the very thing
That's kind of the whole point and so it started off as let me just use it as a filler for content and it ended up with
This is the one thing that's kept me sane when it came to posting content
Every every so every so often so I think it's important to have that as a little bit of an anchor for yourself or for anyone really.
That's kind of what I meant by find what you like to talk about.
Something that doesn't require hours of research and effort, but it also can resonate as just you.
So anyway, I'm done talking.
Chin, back over to you.
No, no.
Appreciate that. And uh guys you can just
you know do hours of research just all you gotta do is just write articles right and then you get
the engagement you'll be known uh because you paid 30 a month uh to boost your articles uh
i'm still kind of salty because i used to have a badge i didn't know that that that um that you
only can write articles for a premium plus.
So I was literally, because I got inspired by Shotgun, I was literally going to write an article.
I had it in draft, and then I lost my badge.
I was like, shoot.
And I looked at the premium.
There's a lot of selections now.
There's three selections, three tiers of blue badge.
I had no idea.
Back in the day, when I first got my badge, it was just one.
It was like $4 or $5 and everyone's already complaining.
And now it's like $30.
$30 for a batch.
I think it's $40 per month if you buy on a yearly subscription.
It's even discounted to $40. Oh, $40 is discounted?
Uh-huh.
That's a discount.
Oh, interesting.
Oh, man. discounted that's a discount oh oh interesting oh man the positive side is that now you have a goal uh to get more than 30 on your x monetization so you at least pay for the bills you know in app
this is like i feel like it's like girl math right it's like yeah so then i paid 40 and then i get
50 back so then i get like 10 profit and i can buy my coffee, you know, like, yeah.
Nah, then you realize your coffee is $11.
So you got to figure out how to make that extra dollar.
So you can really make even more profit than that.
But at least Sanza can write it off from his taxes come tax season.
So he doesn't care.
He can pay whatever he wants, whatever amount of money he wants.
But then he has to price out peace of mind, right?
Is that 50 cents on the hour like and then is he actually he's actually in profit because he's you know
He's getting one dollar, but he's also paying with peace of mind. That's at least two to five dollars an hour
Value, so he's actually in about you know four dollars profit right there i look at people
just joining the space it's like why are you guys talking about math like what is going i thought
we're talking about how to get a job how to get a job no but that's hilarious uh justin you've been
really really patient really appreciate it uh i like your pfp i think that's fake whale. Uh, but just hook up the show. What's up?
Hey,
Jamie, everyone.
I like,
I like the topic,
like,
get,
like I made a one post about the getting job in F3.
And that's why I came up here to contribute.
Like,
you know what?
if you,
you don't have any experience and, uh, if you don't have any experience and if you learn that learn first then
you will be get a job like discord moderator or anything like no that's
where you can find early jobs like getting jobs you big companies or big projects it's very difficult for early guys but if
you go through the github you get paid like week or two weeks, I am researching on that from one month.
I find out 10 projects early that's pushing the repo likes first you learn to be like github then you will be
definitely get job man you don't need me to be experienced or anything you just
shops small supports and then then we you will be a direct approach to the
teams if you are likes they are likes launching their discords, you directly have a man.
You are on their eyes.
So I tried out that way but main thing is that there is a lot of scams projects.
So be careful if you try out that way.
This is the best way I find out.
I posted that in comments like skinners
uh please if uh if you pin the post will be really helpful uh everyone to understand github and all
because my english is not strong as uh you guys like i'm asian okay I'm trying out to help out those guys,
like, new in the space.
It means, okay, like, GitHub is the best way.
Yeah, no, Justin, first of all,
I appreciate you coming up, man.
You did an amazing job and putting yourself,
I always say this, this, I really appreciate people
that hop on spaces
where English is not their first language.
Because if you ask me to speak
like Chinese spaces,
dude, I would struggle like crazy.
So first of all, Justin,
really appreciate you coming up
and putting yourself out there.
And I think you got some good takes there, right?
Like, again, it's like the theme of like,
you just got to put yourself out there.
You just got to do things.
Like Sanza said,
sometimes when you do things, you find out what you do like and what you don't like right and i think
that's huge there but um yeah and so yeah justin really appreciate you coming up here uh dude right
now my ex is like like just bugging i don't know who has their hand up or doesn't have their hand
up but i think my good friend balsa had his hand up i don't know if you still have your hand up but like uh balsa what is up mr vibe coder now vibe coder balsa what's up
oh you know just uh farming the the engagements through articles no no i'm just kidding um
honestly dude i love this article meta i know articles right now are getting so much shit
because you're like ah you didn't have to turn this to an article. Well, you know what? I fucking miss long-form content, bro.
I feel like for the past two years, ever since, like, short-form content
and these reels on TikTok and all this crazy other stuff started to really pop off,
people's attention span have continued to shrunk, bro.
So these articles definitely brought back, like,
if you are someone that is knowledgeable or you want to share something sick,
like articles are the way right now.
But no, man, look, I actually wanted to come up here
to actually share some alpha from my experience
of like how to get a job in 2026, right?
And I think Sanza was already kind of talking about it
and it was probably mentioned so many times over,
but I, and I apologize
if it's going to be mentioned again in my take,
but I think you
almost have to frame this and the way your perspective, at least for me is don't try to
force yourself to get a job. Right. And I think Sanza's nail does pretty well. And instead just
focus on being high, like I call it high agency. Right. And it pretty much just means like the more
skillful you become as a person, as a human, people will just naturally gravitate and find value in you.
Right. And you attach that with, you know, a good mindset.
You're a positive person. You're easy to talk to. Right.
Eventually, there's an opportunity that just randomly comes up and it almost just falls into your lap.
almost just falls into your lap.
And I'll share from experience for this one with Relic.
So I recently got hired as a marketer
to help push this new TCG marketplace that's coming out.
And the way I got connected to that guy was,
it's funny, two years ago,
when I was just starting off on hosting spaces,
I was hosting a space with Unfungible Team.
And this guy in the audience just heard me host
and he liked how I moderated.
He liked how I asked questions.
And since then, we've met at crypto conferences. We talked almost every single week. And then last
year, he hit me up for this marketing position. And so the gist of that, I feel, is like,
one, you have to put yourself out there. There's a reason why social media right now is honestly
the strongest tool for anyone that wants to get
employed. I have this theory and I want to share it here again with articles, right? I have like
this article idea where I want to talk about how your digital identity is going to be far more
significant than who you are IRL, right? Like think about that for a sec, right? Like it's, it's,
it's scary, but I think it's an inevitable future
that kind of happens here in the coming years
just because people are more connected to someone
through the internet, right?
And it's a matter of like, what is your personality?
What type of content do you do?
Can people relate to you, right?
Like it's crazy when you observe like what KOLs or what influencers are doing nowadays to you, right? Like, it's crazy when you observe, like, what KOLs or what influencers are doing
nowadays to really, one, get attention, but really grow a following. So I think all this to say is
that if you combine all this together, that a job will naturally find you. And I believe so much in
that concept that, like, focus less on chasing and just put more effort and attention into attracting.
I know it sounds super cliche.
It sounds super whack, but that's like my mindset and how I,
at least I try to find my opportunities is like,
just get really good at one thing.
And then sooner or later, the more consistent, the more patient you are,
something will just naturally pop up.
So I'll keep it at there, but really cool topic.
I think this is much needed for the new year. So yeah so yeah man let's all go from unemployed to employed guys i think we're on
on our way to something here yeah no boss i appreciate you coming up and when you speak
about and just make instead of wanting something like being making it attractive making yourself
attractive like what are you talking about do we need post selfies of ourselves or like skill like what what skills like how can we be how can someone make themselves
attract especially you know some people in the audience might be like a smaller account just
growing and stuff like that do chriso meth and look max or whatever the hipster stay
looks maxing uh i don't know if everyone saw chin in a wig but uh you know what i'm saying
to any chain out there that needs a little front desk lady uh at their at their conferences at
their boots you might want to hire chin with a wig guys it was boss's fault too guys we were
trying to he was like a direct what are you director it was for gacha yeah yeah and then
he's like bro wear this wig i'm like oh no and then i was what? I'm going to like, because it was like the Asian girl meta.
I was like, yo, I'm going to, I'm going to engagement form.
Yeah, I got some tips.
I got some tips for people looking for a job.
That's what I'm saying, man.
But no, look, on a serious answer, just in the end, we got some hands up.
So I think to make yourself look attractive.
I mean, attractive is such a, there's so much emotion to that word. But I think to make yourself appealing, right? Like to make yourself stand out from the rest. You know, I mean, look, if we're talking from the perspective of crypto, I think the earlier you are to a meta, and the earlier you can position yourself in before something really, explodes and takes off right then i really
think you have that edge amongst everyone else that comes later because you know one i still feel
the content bar in crypto is very much low like it's significantly somewhat gotten better but
in a sense it still hasn't because one everyone still has a different meter and a different gauge for what they consider quality, right?
But I think when you observe and you look out from an outside point of view, there's times where you'll see an overlap between like Web2 content that is successful.
And then you try it out here into crypto.
into crypto and it doesn't it doesn't do crazy numbers but it works right so we're slowly
And it doesn't do crazy numbers, but it works, right?
adopting what's working on other social medias or i guess in different audiences and we're applying
it here into into x but all that to say is if you combine that like being able to identify what is
working on other social medias like the familiar familiar, the film, I can't even say this word, familiarity, familiarity, familiarity. I can't even say that word, but the more familiar you can be
with your audience and they recognize content there. It's like, Oh, I know what this is. Or
it's like, whenever I watch a chin podcast or a chin video, is there something that I notice on
a tiny detail that I can tell right away? Oh, chin like this is his style right so like the more you find out that and you discover that and you combine being early
and you being what I was mentioning earlier right this all ties in on how to get employed bro um so
that's my quick take on it it wasn't that quick but yeah that's how I see it chin let's go let's
go sorry I was focusing on something you
said and i just kept laughing uh appreciate that take there also uh wise i know you wanted to say
something what's up welcome to the show hey hey how's it going so i hire people i've hired a lot
of people off of x and uh for our company and i heard some people say not to like promote yourself on spaces I think you
should definitely promote yourself on spaces because I sit in spaces regularly like scouting
talent so definitely get on spaces if you're a content writer, definitely post content, write articles.
I can't tell you how many articles I read here on X.
One thing I'll tell you is a big no-no, don't DM.
Like if you DM me, you're automatically going to the bottom of the list if you want to get our attention either I'm I've already noticed you
just from from being on x all the time and and reading stuff but if you want to be pushy about
getting a job write an article read our getbook like that's the best way to get my attention. Read our Gitbook and write an article about our platform.
And that's, like, the best way, if you want to be pushy about it, to get our attention.
But use social media.
Like, maximize your exposure through social media.
Right? I don't even look at how many followers you got. I don't even care. Use social media, like maximize your exposure through social media. Right.
I don't even look at how many followers you got.
I don't even care.
I look at if everything is worded properly and how knowledgeable you are on the topic.
You can have 200 followers.
I don't give a shit.
I just need everything to be worded properly
and i need you to have i need you to be knowledgeable on what you're talking about
you can't and also never use ai never never use ai i've had to i've had to let people go
and it's heartbreaking because you know i'm not i'm not a big tech guy like I won't catch it but
the founder of our project will and then he'll let me know and then I have I'll have to let you go
which is exactly what just happened to the one guy that was working for us for a year he was using AI
and the founder pulled me to the side and said hey this, this guy's using AI. I don't like that.
So I had to go out and find new people.
But definitely utilize social media.
Utilize these spaces.
I can't tell you how important it is.
I'm always in spaces.
I don't know.
There's a lot of people in this chat.
You've probably seen me just sitting in the listeners.
That's what I'm doing.
Wise, I have a question, bro. How was he using AI for? What was he doing? seen me just sitting in the in the listeners that's what i'm doing why why is why does i have
a question bro what what was he how was he using ai for like what was he doing i don't even know
dude like i said i'm not a tech guy i'm i'm like dumb when it comes to why'd you let bro go then
why'd you why'd you fire him like that then hey i had to do you know it's the founder's way or the
highway so and he doesn't want he doesn't want ai he doesn't want i'm genuinely curious
though i know because i was just genuinely curious because like if you're firing someone for using ai
i have to know why because like yeah i don't know if you know man but i just released this banger
article that y'all should read that i truly believe ai assisted workflows is going to be
the future but i think he sees it as like low effort so
interesting interesting interesting i gotta cut in here a little bit um first of all i i agree a little bit more with baza but i also agree a little bit with wise and the way that they're
first there there's a certain way to utilize it 100 maybe don't leave the double m dashes in every prompt
that you do or whatever the right um or if maybe you know you're not just writing or whatever
i i kind of want to say to the it's a little bit of an unpopular opinion not really it's common
sense the whole like we're all gonna make it we The whole, like, we're all going to make
it. We're all going to be employed. We're all going to get a job. It's just not going to happen.
Too collectively, collectively, and I mean this in the nicest,
kind of somewhat respectable way possible. Collectively, too many people are stupid,
way possible. Collectively, too many people are stupid, right? And I don't mean that in a way of
like, everyone's dumb. I just mean, it's not all going to work for every single person. And for a
lot of people, it takes a much longer way to get there than it does for others, right? Let's say, for example,
if you're a writer and you're trying to join the space talking about, I don't know, sports,
whatever. I can't think of anything else because I'm a dumbass. Sports. And your whole thing is,
you know, you write about, I don't know, let's say you write about AI or you write about whatever.
Right. And you're talking on sports on a sports space trying to show yourself.
Maybe shut the fuck up because no one in that space wants to hear you talk about your writing skills.
Right. So it's about it's a little bit of a skill reading the room and understanding who you're talking to.
And I know that's easier said than done, but let's say I'll use a more, you know, classic example.
If we're on a space is about how to speak publicly.
Every space is host in the history of Web3 should be on that space because you don't even have to show
yourself. You talking is showing yourself. Right. That's an indirect skill. Just like if you writing
more articles is you showing yourself. Right. And I and I and it's a little bit of a thin line
because, yes, everyone should have the ability to show themselves at any given point at any given time. 100%.
But there's a certain art to it.
And Chin, I know you know what I'm talking about.
Bossa, anyone who's a host knows what I'm talking about.
When you are co-hosting or hosting a guest that is relentlessly showing themselves, you are automatically tuned out.
You don't want to listen to a fucking thing that person has to say, right?
Granted, very specific situation, very specific thing, but it does apply to all concepts.
So to that, I say there is hope for the people who have a little bit of a higher IQ, right?
For the people who have a little bit of lower IQ,
they don't even know that this applies to them.
So that's the good news.
The bad news is it's still a lot of competition
that you have the short-duty noise on.
So I say all this to say, shoot your shot.
Go for it.
But when it comes to speaking on spaces,
I would say be more conservative on the way you shill.
I would rather you speak your opinion concisely, straight to the point, than to hear you shill whatever the fuck you have to show.
Because if you have a genuine conversation on how to get a job,
it should be how to get a fucking job.
Right?
Anyway, I'm going to stop talking.
The reason why I'm laughing,
because honestly,
this end of this space,
you know, having you, Balsa,
and Murhub just left,
but like,
it reminds me of the good old Unfungible days.
I won't call anyone out here,
but just hosting spaces,
and yeah, there's times, man.
Yes.
Asanza, I know you in Balsa.
Anyways, we don't go there.
I don't want to get people in trouble.
No, but Shotgun, you got your handle.
What's up?
Yo, I was just going to say, but I think this point was kind of like already talked about, but like I've never went like I never DMed anybody asking for jobs, at least in Web3.
Like I feel like the most easy plus you can possibly make is really double down on scaling your account and getting better at doing whatever type of content you enjoy doing.
join doing and uh the opportunities usually present themselves that way uh even though i'm
And the opportunities usually present themselves that way.
jobless right now you know i've got a lot of job opportunities in web3 just by uh doing video
content for example and have projects like send a video to me and be like yo we want something like
that or you know anyways point being is uh even though cold DMing people still work when it comes to like getting them on spaces or just simply connecting, I feel like when you're objectively trying to get a job, it doesn't make a lot of sense. especially like ghost writers and uh all sorts of like uh like different job positions and they
like they dm me i'm like yo i'm broke as hell you guys think i'm gonna hire y'all y'all fuck
but anyways uh point being is just if you really really really want to get a job just really make
sure that you're putting the best content possible and that you're uh you know just giving it your
all uh because yeah most times when i got an opportunity was just because i was on a generational
run whether it was on videos or uh written posts whatever it may be so work on yourself and uh
you know those things naturally fall in place. Yeah. Amazing.
I think that, again, just to summarize here,
this conversation, again,
hopefully you guys have been entertained.
Hopefully you guys got a lot of value out of it.
But like kind of this common themes, right?
Just work on yourself, put yourself out there, right? You just never know what's going to happen.
You just literally just never know
when you put yourself out there.
And literally like everyone on this panel, I'm sure could share like stories of how they got their
jobs in web3 how they got these opportunities and stuff like that and it's just yeah yeah just put
yourself out there right and um yeah but before i close i see a couple of hands here so uh i believe
bossa had his hand up first and then i'll go to just Justin. And then actually, I want to go to Christy too.
I'll just say what's up.
But yeah, Balsa, what's up?
I just want to add one thing to that list, man.
Is never feel entitled to anything.
Like I'm telling you right now,
like especially in crypto,
dude, just because you have 50k followers,
100k followers does not mean you are better
nor above someone that is probably with 1k followers but has a
skill set that that company is looking for right so um go fucking get the opportunity yourself
don't sit on your ass expect people to be in your dms you know can i hire you no like put yourself
out there you already summarized the chin well said but i just wanted to add that yeah or guys
when you go to in real life events right you
go to the bouncers like you know how many followers i have like you gotta let me in you know
or sometimes you're manning a event sorry this is from trauma come up to me do you know who this
person is you know i was like sorry i don't see i mean he doesn't look like a celebrity i mean
he might be a crypto celebrity anyways yes. Yes, yes, that's true.
Yes. Don't be entitled and stuff like that. Always stay humble too. Like that's something that even
as I've been growing, like I can catch myself like, oh, I'm the shit and stuff, which I'm not,
right. I know I'm not, but like really be humble because yeah. And I really appreciate like,
there's everyone who's come up here right whether it's big or small
like i feel like we can learn something from from anyone right and um yeah so anyways um
i don't know justin you still got your hand up or maybe i'm bugging but do you want to add
something real quick justin uh i just want one help from flex a licensed boss who are like in life spaces.
I know he have some connections.
I want some things.
Like I want to get some things.
If he will connect with me, that will be better for me.
I just want one help.
Yeah.
Hello.
Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm not'm not if i'm answering your question i'm
understanding your question right uh you said you just want some help with something with someone
uh like um boss boss i listen him like uh from like uh two three months ago from like
in live spaces i think he have connections you
have connection if any have connections with devs likes i want to build something i have perfect
idea to be off build one platform likes i don't want to share here but if uh likes you will be
a contributor to be like so connecting with devs better than than like i builded something like

really helpful of me
i will dm you man no i will yeah i was
gonna say yeah maybe just DM me

but again
Justin really appreciate
you coming up here
yeah as I'm just
closing out this space
I just got to say

I thought it was just tattoos
I was like yo
this is a tough guy
and then oh it's just Pikachu
yeah no I just
I was super excited
about Pokemon so i went and had
him permanently attached to my face uh also if anybody wants a magic eden badge just have a
friend like sanza uh he pays them 300 a month each for our badges and um so i just went with it i was

Don't do that.
Anyways, guys.
Thank you so much for being here, guys.
Hopefully you guys got a lot of value out of it.
Hopefully you guys were entertained.
Yeah, I know I've been crapping on articles,
but I'm thinking of hosting a space about how to write articles.
I got a shotgun there.
So be on the lookout for that.
Maybe it's on a Thursday.
Because game is game, guys.
I'm just curious as well.
Even though I can't write articles,
how do I write actually value articles, okay?
Because I've heard people, you know,
they have the title and then one word
and just the engagement farm.
But anyways, guys, thank you so much,
so much for being here.
Thank you all my speakers for coming up.
And I really appreciate Cindy and Merhat
