Full Transcription
Thank you. What's going on?
So, we rocked. We rocked. Let's get the info out to the network. We arrived.
Let's get the info out to the network, for favor.
Let's wait a little bit for people to connect to what
I was talking about hyperserts you get that was like is there I know karma gap hyperserts is there any other thing that we can use as a tool hypersert have
been very unreliable in my experience.
I don't know in your experience if you have better experiences with Hypersers.
I know there is a Gitcoin grant going on.
So that was what I was finished up my show.
It's about to eat a little food.
I know it's not nice to rug,
but rugging can also be like,
you know, a project literally rugging you.
I feel like this has more of been like a magic carpet ride
where you maybe like got turned upside down
or ran into like a cliff or something.
Glad to see it's back up, though.
How's the event for Saturday cooking?
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday.
Although it might be Saturday behind me in the world on the other side or something.
It's cooking up good. It's cooking up big and fast, like a, like a big pot of chili on the campfire. Um, I just got out
of a show with Jose. He's got quite a few, uh, people down in Venezuela musicians that are on
board. Um, I'm starting to get more DMS, uh, with people confirming, which is great and uh yeah i think it's going to be
the biggest bestest impact concert yet
this is cool here we grow that's how we grow people
growing with the flow i actually in the far house uh friday show i didn't even know
there's this little feature with like a musical note and you can play they give you a few choices
for background music but it's actually really dope i had never even touched it i opened it up
and i instantly started rapping and uh it was really inspirational. The dev was in there because we were trying out their first – they got a frame out for today so I could do the testing in a frame.
And a lot of audio issues.
The normal standalone Farhouse is like some of the best audio I've ever had in one of these live spaces. But when you're trying to do that,
like inside a, basically like inside,
like a browser inside a browser, because they're building in the frame inside Warpcast,
it's, you know, it slows down the data packets or whatever.
So you get like the warbly sound,
then it tries to catch up.
They kind of rushed to try and get it out for today to test it.
But really cool stuff.
Like I found that feature and then Rahit,
I was like, hey, could we maybe get a feature where we can put our own tracks in as background
music? So there's a lot of cool stuff cooking on that end too. And yeah, just excited about,
you know, everything in the space in general, the regen stuff, the music stuff all colliding
in a beautiful way. So yeah, it's been, think, one of the busiest weeks I've ever had.
Pretty much like four or five spaces a day, either being a host or a co-host or a guest speaker or interviewed.
I was over in the Artisan, featured in the Artisan space today as well.
space today as well that that went really well we actually they got me to uh book them for an
That went really well.
impact concert on may 2nd for the artisan round coming up so just a lot of a lot of stuff happening
it's it's good to see i'm uh i'm looking forward to um getting this one in the books and then like
sleeping for a day That's nice man.
Yeah, I think
Gitcoins, you don't sleep much
and there's a lot of, it's like you're in an event
and there's a lot of networking
and cross-pollination
and growing with the flow
and chilling also in the space.
So beautiful that everything is happening in that direction,
that is good for you guys.
And I want to see more of those concerts all over the digital space.
And absolutely, really looking forward for saturday for sunday and also for future concerts and things
to come and i'm very curious like the setups that you use and also the other day i was
watching this video from jimmy where he was explaining how to record like bass audio and then he was talking about like the triangle. I was like what is that? And it was like the pillows. I really liked it.
So the other day with the Greenfield presentation, Jimmy was streaming live, I think in 10 or 14 platforms, which is incredible.
And yeah, I want to learn more about it.
Yeah, I want to learn more about it too i um i generally do a lot of the kind of organization
scheduling booking and then hosting um and i have so far we've always done them out of kind of the
our home-based discord and so discord has great audio um and, of course, chat and GIFs and tips and all that built in.
So that's been, you know, a pretty good hub.
And then I have a friend who has been, he's also happens to be, you know, kind of the owner of that Discord of Token Smart, Trizlet.
you know, capturing, I guess, through OBS and then using like a restream, multi-stream tool to put
that out to Twitter and YouTube and Twitch and sometimes into metaverses too. So I don't know
as much on the technical side. Just it's not necessarily my main wheelhouse. But I definitely
want to learn more about it too. And yeah, it's incredible to have, I think, you know, this Sunday
we'll have a bunch of those, you know, partners that'll be going out to different more about it, too. And, yeah, it's incredible to have. I think, you know, this Sunday we'll have a bunch of those, you know, partners.
It'll be going out to different areas, different, you know, different people catch it from different places.
That's really cool.
And, yeah, just over the last few days, I believe we're going to have, let's see, I think there's four in the pipeline.
So we've got Sunday, the Gitcoin Impact Concert.
We now have May 2nd, the Artisan Impact Concert is now locked in.
We've got a Refi Costa Rica concert we're trying to get together pretty quickly too.
And then also, what was the other?
Oh yeah.
And then also Eden Fractal wants to do one as well. So there's four like kind of in the works right
now, which is the most we've ever had. So it's, you know, it's really positive movement and hoping
to just keep it growing, keep it growing with the flow. And I did apply for a specific music flows
at flows.wtf. It's not a lot. It's probably like 100 bucks a month,
but that would help pay the stream team
and a little for the musicians.
And I pretty much just go out of pocket
for donating to everybody that comes and speaks.
But it would be great to have maybe some of the other areas
or even getting sponsors,
to have a sponsor come and throw down.
That would then be
able to, you know, give a little more to all the projects that speak and one day even maybe like
compensate for the time and effort that I put in to organize and to host these. So, you know,
I think one day it could grow into something that could, instead of just being a passion that takes
up, you know, a good amount of time, and then
I scramble on the side to earn money at other jobs, maybe this could be part of my job one
day.
Absolutely. It's very important for us as an ecosystem to really find the business
models that ensure that we're doing what we're doing and
that we are empowered and enabled to do it. So absolutely. What do you think will
be the business model for the charity concert in your perspective? I think...
For example, yeah, go ahead. I think if we had say, like if we're doing a Gitcoin concert, if Gitcoin wanted to sponsor it, then we would plaster more of, you know, the Gitcoin information, the brand attached to all the, you know, all the messaging on all the social networks and dedicate a little more time to speaking about Gitcoin at a few points during the concert.
And things like that could possibly be like a start to some sponsorship type avenue.
We had had in the past a few people being interested in doing a sponsorship,
but then the market crashed like right before.
And so they kind of like, you know, couldn't come through and do that.
But I've never done like, you know, i haven't worked with like a lot of sponsors or
anything so um i'm totally open to suggestions um yeah let's grow Totally.
Well, in that case, you can upload your things on KarmaGap, so you can maybe get retroactive
funding.
I think it's also important for the space to have cultural events and to enhance that
part.
Because without...
If crypto is boring in the eyes of the public, then we won't grow, you know.
And we are fun and cool to hang out with and have concerts and festivals and cool shit. And also like if we're thinking about the future in terms of the metaverse and augmented reality and all of this kind of stuff, right?
augmented reality and all of this kind of stuff right so how we also have a good product that we
can then sell and is the experience of the festival or the concert or the event whatever
it might be so yeah curious about how that grows on that side and excited also because
if we have amazing digital events then we can have more impact worldwide.
Yeah, and the metaverse is a great place for sponsors to be able to have a bunch of information up, you know, banners and links and information where you could go.
AI agents that can talk to you about the products and all this kind of stuff.
So we don't have to necessarily do all our
time talking about it if you're in the metaverse you can talk to an agent get the rundown go to
the site etc they're getting some click through um yeah there's there's a lot of things there's
a lot of ways to do it and in fact um i'm trying to remember who was mentioning uh you know minting
uh the concerts as like a long form nft people could collect. And then you've got all these great different musicians that have played on it and things like that.
I'm excited to get more knowledgeable about Unlock and definitely Karma too,
because I haven't used it or Karma Gap or that one.
So yeah, there's a lot of tools that I think the Impact Concert will be starting to implement,
which will help us organizationally and also on the funding side.
Totally, yeah.
With attention and eyeballs, so you can get sponsored to run shows and, you know, have the banners, as you were describing.
I haven't really played much on the metaverse honestly i kind of played when back in the day with sandbox
but then the market crashed and i really kind of lost interest and in that stuff and went more like
let's plant some trees maybe Maybe that's more fun.
Yeah, I remember the early days in 2019 flying around crypto voxels and looking at art galleries
and doing little tours and building.
I built an art gallery myself there
with a bunch of my photography in it
and showed other people's art too.
But yeah, the floor fell out of all the Metaverse lands
and everything.
But Decentraland's doing really cool stuff.
They're having a fashion week right now.
Jumped in yesterday with the WIP meetup, which I've been a part of for a little over five years.
Every Thursday we host events.
Again, located in a central Discord, but we're always going into different metaverses.
We have kind of a home base.
Actually, we have like a home base in a few different metaverses. We have kind of a home base. Actually, we have like a home base in a few different metaverses. But HyperFi is our main home base, and they're amazing. And then we have
like a whip island over in Nifty. Oh, God, blank on name. Nifty Island. They're awesome. That's
actually probably the funnest one that's dropped recently. But Sandbox, I've got
friends that build there. You know, I haven't been to Somnium space for a long time, but I was kind
of born. Easy in Crypto was born in the metaverse of crypto voxels back before there was even
anything like it was black and white. And I've always been pushing for open garden spaces in
the metaverse. So check this out. I've always wanted and I've built like flowering cherry trees.
I'm no I'm no metaverse architect or pixel voxel artist, but I have created voxel cactuses and
voxel cherry trees and voxel flowers and stuff like that playing around back in the day when I
had time. And so if we had open green spaces where you could like engage in a game planting trees in the metaverse and then those were replicated or something in the real world or we build real world like Central Park into metaverses.
We need green spaces in the metaverse for sure.
So I don't know.
There might be something there.
What's going on, Tricky? Tricky Buddha with
Defy Space Donkeys!
Looks like he's grabbing some food real quick. He'll be with us shortly.
Oh, I was wondering if it was one of those times when I needed to drop to the audience
because I can't hear the other speaker, but I guess the same
is for you guys. So yeah, I assume he'll be back
and growing with the flow with us shortly.
So how was your artisan experience today?
Do you want to share that?
Yeah, it was so awesome, man.
They're such great people.
What I love about them,
and I found out today
because I complimented them on it
and I asked about it,
their layout on their website is just truly epic.
You've got the main window, which is the live stream, video live stream, right?
Then you've got a chat like next to it.
And down below, you have the projects that are featured for that Friday's showcase.
And you can click on those and vote for them without leaving the page.
But then, like, for example, when I went and became the speaker, my little impact concert, like, little window floated up to above the chat.
And people can, if they're listening to me and they like what I'm saying and they have some votes, they can just click vote, vote, vote, vote, vote without going anywhere else.
It's all streamlined. It's right there. It works well.
They use Video
Ninja for the green room for speakers and then stream that in. But I found out they used something
called, I believe, Bubble or Bubble app. And he said they built it within like a few days using
this AI instead of having to spend months in like a five person team building the stuff you would
have to a year ago. So it's an incredible layout.
It works really well.
It's very smooth.
I would recommend, you know, I have recommended to other platforms to like look for something like that.
So everything can be in one place.
And then, of course, you can stream it into X and people can watch there.
But if they want to get really in with the, you know, into the thing, they can come over to the website and be live there with
the chat and with the donations or the up clicks. So it went really well. And like I said, it went
so well that they booked me live on the spot for actually two. We're going to do one May 2nd,
the date's locked. That's right before the round starts. And then their rounds are longer. So like
maybe like I think about a month later, we'll maybe do one right before the round starts and then their rounds are longer so like maybe like i think
about a month later we'll maybe do one right before the round closes so one right before
the round opens and then one right before the round closes so they pretty much got me on the
hook for two of them And they just, you know, they're just starting this part of the cycle where you apply to different like funds as multipliers.
And I was saying, you know, in the interview, I was like, actually, I've got a question for you guys because last night I got the email and I was looking through.
And there's some great like
funds available. One was for women musicians and women music producers. Others were for like real
world get togethers. Others were for like digital hubs. And I was looking through and I'm like, oh
geez, a lot of these, I meet some of the criteria, but then I don't feel like I meet all the criteria to apply for that.
And they were like, yo, just if you feel like you meet a few of those points well, apply for it.
The worst thing is they might say no, but they could very well say yes.
And then you can apply for as many as you kind of want.
And then that's that he's like, that's the real key.
If you're like in like four or five of these multipliers, then you're getting then you're getting four or five times what you would if you were just in one.
So I learned a lot.
They were very receptive.
It's a great community over there.
And I'm about to sit down and eat some food, so I might be quiet for a little bit, but
I'm very glad to be back in here with y'all.
Oh, and I got my Grow Pass, so I can totally screw up and, you know, it's already prepaid
for.
So let's go!
Ha ha!
Pfft! half.
Bitch,
tricky Buddha from DeFi Space Donkeys.
Let's grow
fucking.
That's the real
one. That's the real deal in the house.
Let's grow. What's up, guys?
I'm making some
rice. I have no volume coming off.
Our grow host. Is anyone else
Rice Krispie treats now you got me more hungry. Yeah, well we just mean Arturo. Can you hear tricky? Oh, I hear tricky
Will I hear you here
Can you hear me over here?
Can you hear me over here or you completely rugged out will I?
Or are you completely rugged out, Will?
See, I'm not going to buy that you just don't hear both of us.
See, okay.
There we go.
Bring it back.
All right, Will.
Is he back? is he back?
He's back.
There we go.
Cool.
I think he's back.
It's funny because one of my phones says everyone's a listener,
and the other phone is working properly.
So let's go.
Oh, I hope you have that pass because we got to grow with the flow.
I actually just had a friend who was asking how he can donate.
So I was like, well, if you donate through Gitcoin, you get matching.
But he doesn't have a crypto wallet, so I want to donate on his behalf and hope he pays me back.
And then that way he gets matching on Gitcoin.
So we're going gonna grow some more trees
Hell yeah
I'm glad you picked up that's it man. Oh, yeah support the cause
Everyone reach with the room. Let's share this out more. We brugged and came back. So
Let's get it out there. There's a couple spaces that are up until 10 or
like 9 30 ish and then they'll probably come over here but yeah maybe we'll get
some more some more people come in just maybe play some music I'm gonna tag some
friends right now
yeah good to see it easy You've been here a lot.
I noticed you a lot over the last couple days.
That's cool.
And Will's been holding it down steady.
I'm not quite at the level of Mr. Will T, wearing all the gold chains and stuff.
But I've been in here quite a bit.
I mean, it's my tribe.
I found another whole part of the tribe. So
I was in here for a while last night, and then at about 2, 2.20 a.m., I was like,
all right, guys, I'm going to go to sleep. And then this crazy AI talk started about like human population and AI like relationships
and stuff. It was 5 a.m.
by the time I actually like put myself
in the audience, turned the volume down
and caught a few hours of sleep before I had to
get up and start like meetings and shows
again. So yeah, I'm in pretty deep.
My feet are rooted
here.
Do you know Big Man
and the Green Pill Collective?
Like that whole group?
There's a lot of Green Pills
around, man.
Yeah, so the Green Pill Collective
was the...
We're all cannabis friendly, and
there's a lot of
different groups coming together.
It's becoming pretty massive, but it's all got a very common vibe.
You know, pro-green in multiple ways.
And seeing all the green charts, you know, like the green bubble maps
with the Green Pill Collective logo in the background really has a nice pop to it.
I'll have to admit.
But we should get you in there for like an interview the good um we got basically spaces on the a.m we got the middle of
the day late afternoon and then more evening spaces too so it really looks like whatever time
of day is good for you just tell me and i like i'll let you know where the interviews are at
nice yeah i don't i don't think I've had the pleasure of
At least getting to know Big Man well
We may have, you know, ran across each other in a space
If I saw the PFP
It might ring a bell
But yeah, I'm not an early
Morning person, so don't try and get me
For like 6am or 8am
Really 9am is kind of when I start
Drinking coffee, so yeah
Afternoon or evening spaces are the way for me.
All right, I tagged three guys down in the purple pill
that are guys from my group
that are doing more and more spaces
and, you know, be good people to tap in with.
Nice, nice. Nice.
Yeah.
I co-host a student loans token space with Hurricane.
And we had one today.
Usually they do theirs super early in the morning.
And so I was like, hey, I missed you guys often.
How about I'll throw down a co-host and we do one at noon on friday specific and so we've done we've
done like probably maybe four or five of them or something we had a few weeks off um and then
today's it was really low attendance but a couple people came one dude came and for a moment i thought
he was maybe trolling us because he started talking about like being a simp and like talking
about all this girl talk um and then it wound up being just a super interesting conversation.
And he turned out to be a cool dude.
It was just one of those moments where you're like, wait a minute.
You kind of do a double take.
You're like, are you messing with me right now?
But then everybody has their own vibe, their own style.
So it was a fun space for sure.
Yeah, I tried to co-host with him um on the noon
spaces it's like noon est so i try to go in there and co-host whenever i can uh usually usually i'll
if i'm it's tough it's like when i'm up i'm up and when i'm not i'm not because there's literally
spaces 24 7 that are like come co-host sohost. So I could just kill myself and be live
for like 24 hours and then be like, oh my God. Especially recently, man, there's three people
running marathon spaces. So I keep jumping in and then I'm on stage and then we joke around and
it's at least two hours later before I even notice what's going on. You know what I mean? And then,
later before I even notice what's going on.
You know what I mean?
The last
24 days have been kind of
crazy.
Especially because I've got
multiple devices in the spaces the whole time.
You're
everywhere.
I'm putting in like 40 hours of
time every day because it's got
two or three devices.
And sometimes I'm going to be beyond stage or co-hosting
multiple places um just you know because it's about leading the conversation not really
you know monologuing right like sometimes you monologue to hold the space down so there's no
dead time or you know there's some announcements or something but it's usually about guiding the
conversation and bringing in the network right
so i mean nobody's wants to hear me for 40 24 7 if that was a thing i would just have a channel
right no it's funny because sometimes you do have to just like monologue it like for like
it could be like 20 minutes of just like until someone else jumps in but you know you're doing
your job as a host well when you only have to give you like,
you're like a little water here on the seedling,
a little fertilizer there in the conversation.
And like between the people that are there,
it just keeps going and growing.
And yeah, so it's definitely kind of an art form.
And yeah, I see you everywhere.
Just, you know, don't burn out
because I know you're going at it hard you're gonna have to take a break at
some point right well and that but that's the thing also it's like when I'm
feeling good I'm more active but I'm also I do I'm here because I don't feel
good and being here makes me feel good so like if I'm here then you know I'm
not losing my goddamn mind because if I'm not, then you know I'm not losing my goddamn mind.
You know what I mean?
Because if I'm not here, I am probably losing my goddamn mind and I need to be here so I can be positive and then I can multitask and be more efficient.
If I drop off, yeah, if I'm not in like a space or like a metaverse of some sort for like a few days, people know hit me up and be like dude are you all right and i'm like oh i'm either sick or like kind of like having a really bad migraine for a few days or you know sometimes you get depressed and you're like uh i'm not like i don't feel like
i can talk or like carry a convo but then people hit you up and you start feeling better you jump
back in you know it happens to all of us I think
yeah it's uh it's it's definitely a balance like some people can definitely burn out I feel like there was a time period when I was younger that I had no
fear no social anxiety right and then all of a sudden I got more anxious I
think it was like puberty and shit right and then I went through all these health
issues and now I'm back on the other side of like no fucks given, right?
So like me being on stage, like there could be 3,000 people here and I know and I could be giving a speech about what any fucking subject.
And I'm not going to be like sweating bullets. I'm not stressed. I'm like just enjoying myself.
Which is a great place to be.
But I wish I could have gotten here without like the whole chronic illness thing.
That would have been great.
Right? Yeah.
Oh, man. No.
Today, I literally got like nerves.
And it's been years since I've gotten like nervous.
But it wasn't because I was like being interviewed. It was because the last time that I got invited to the artisan space to showcase impact projects,
like three weeks ago, it just was like every planet aligned against me and the tech just revolted.
Like I tried the computer.
I tried the phone.
I tried the iPad.
I tried restarting each of those.
None of them would connect connect everybody else had fine connections
my mic would just not work
until like it was the very end
and they're like oh wait we heard easy
and I got to say like you know two sentences
and they're like we're gonna bring you back
and so I was like please just let my mic connect today
and I was like feeling it like those you know
like the nerves again
and then it all worked and I was like oh it like those, you know, like the nerves again. I was like, and then it all worked. And I was like, oh, I can relax.
Yeah, I remember, I mean, I definitely took a couple of different, I think I took three
or four speech classes.
Like every college I went to, I took another speech class because I was like riddled with anxiety and thought that maybe if I just had enough skills
with public speaking you know maybe there was just something I needed to
learn no it's just chronic anxiety but like going through like a bunch of
serious health issues just kind of made it so like those things were just so
fucking drastic that other anxiety just didn't really register on the anxiety scale.
You know what I mean?
Anxiety doesn't register when you've got life.
You're passing blood and having a seizure.
It puts things in perspective.
But now I have just no fucks given.
I'm like, well, that's a superpower.
I should be a spokesperson for different companies.
Now I'm like, well, the shit, that's a superpower. Like I should be a spokesperson for different companies. Like now, this is, you know, now I'm a brand ambassador and I'll try to help,
you know, get the word out on different projects and speak when people can't,
you know, like bring people up who are like, like a lot of times
subscribers or friends or whatever people who are just like new to the spaces.
I'll, you know, join a space with them.
And because I'm a bigger account and everybody knows me, they'll usually bring me up before they even go back through the line of people
I'll just like skip the line usually and then I can intro my friend and then like lay the groundwork
So that they're like calm and comfortable then, you know getting people started. It was pretty good
It's nice to be like be in that spot where I could finally like jump the
line and then set up the wind for my,
my buddy.
Cause I remember being at the other end for it where you would jump,
joining a space and a bunch of other people who are well known would jump in
front of you.
And next thing you know,
the space is over.
You've waited for two hours and you didn't talk.
You know,
I remember those days years ago,
like a clubhouse,
just have the balls to jump in and be like, yo, I know some shit.
Let me school y'all.
Oh, man.
Well, someone's going to jump in with like a million followers.
You know what I mean?
And then they're like, all right, well, that person's going to go next because they don't want to lose that person.
They got to recognize that they're in the room.
And then that's how you build this.
If you really want to build the stage proper, that's what you got to do is you make friends with big people. You bring them in the room and then then that's how you build this if you really want to build the stage proper that's what you got to do is you
make friends with big people you bring them in the room you highlight them and
then you go through all your OGs and then through the people who are popping
in just randomly right and like yeah if you want more credibility build for
three years or get to know someone really well like I mean it's just it I
mean it almost sounds harsh but it's really just kind of like,
well, what would you do?
If you're in a stage and you're running a space,
you're going to let people up that you know are credible
before you just let anybody up, right?
What's up, Will?
Are you taking off?
Cool, man.
We got this.
No, I'm just signaling that I'm one of those people
been building for three years that's
credible right okay facts let's go i love it and like you don't get much traction until you've
been here for like three years and then all of a sudden it's like things start just lining up
right totally well it's you know so many people come and they hang out for uh you know six eight months and bounce
or even a year year and a half and bounce like it it takes a certain kind of um uh person to just
keep trudging through bear market bull market bear market bull market and just do the same thing head
down building like not everybody can pull that off so if you if you do that you gain some respect
just for being around that long, staying active.
You're like, man, we don't even like your NFT,
but you've been here for four years.
Yeah, dude, yeah, exactly.
It's like that shows some comeuppiness
and deserves a little respect on its own.
But then if you've got like dope stuff that you're doing too,
it's like, hey, yeah, that's that, you know,
you start getting recognized a little bit. So it's a it's a long process it's a commitment man which is tough because
like sometimes you need the recognition so you can get the funds so you can make the thing but
you have to have the thing so you can get the recognition so you can get the funds so it's
kind of difficult go ahead bro yeah if i listen to my family every time they told me that this is only a hobby and
i should find a real job shoot come on now you know you know how good it feels and i feel you
you know how good it feels when like your wife is like i'm so proud of you for like sticking to it
and working so hard and like growing the thing you're passionate about when like seven years ago she's
like this is fake like you're wasting your time you know like it's like i've been through the
whole gauntlet bro and now it like it feels so good like to get those compliments from my amazing
lovely wife she's like i'm so proud of you you're so amazing keep doing it right i i'm sorry i doubted
you you you were crazy for years now you're a genius
you know it's the line is only by measure by success and that's the thing like and i mean i
even even to this point like i'm starting to get really good at like sponsors and you know there's
really amazing opportunities that are coming to me that like i would never have otherwise
butter's boiling um butter's boiling what don't
burn the butter don't burn the butter i gotta be butter you burn the butter mildly with uh some
some uh mushroom trying to make trying to make th uh you turn that uh the c to n and you get
sleepy by depending on what butter you're talking about. Yeah, no, it's just regular butter. She doesn't want it potent.
Poking for me, regular for her.
Fair enough, fair enough.
But a really heavy, buttery marshmallow,
it's kind of like, you know the difference between your cheap aunt's Rice Krispies
and the store-bought rice krispies
Like you know how they got like twice as much marshmallow, right?
So I go I go one level like above that it was like there's so much goddamn marshmallow in this thing
It's all buttery and like kind of like burn the marshmallow. So it's like roasted marshmallow rice krispies
Yeah, it's more of like a handy than it isn't even even a rice cookie treat I cuz when I make rice with the treats for myself it's like a cereal
delivery method mechanism you know what I mean because I'm like trying to gain
weight you know it's like as much as cereal as I can fit it's a without
amount of marshmallow right but for my wife it's different it's like all right
what's gonna be like the tastiest like in each bite you know so she doesn't leave me buttery smooth oh
man i i would i'm i'm i want to be on the list for trying those because uh i am a rice krispie
treat fan for sure well we're gonna have to do these events and i'm gonna do a solana drop that
will be specific to events but i'm gonna do to do events in these, you know, different,
um, you know, like NFT NYC, Miami, wherever, where I want to get a bed and breakfast,
basically create a bed and breakfast out of an Airbnb, but I'm the chef.
So I'll be making snacks like 24 seven.
There's, there's always snacks available.
Like you can always go and just grab like a brownie or a rice recipe tree or something.
But then there's also like a la carte like whatever you want to order there's a menu computer right there you just type in how much of what
you want and hit enter and it tells you it tells you what to send me you can
cash app or crypto or whatever and then I just like cook up on demand and we did
that for in Miami and it was like everybody was just like blown away by the food.
And every year we do that, it'll get more and more organized so we can have, you know, more and more people.
I'm thinking like next time we'll probably have about 20 people.
That's dope. Yeah. I mean, it's so important, especially when you're at these events that you go, go, go like so long all day walking around like you need
either like a power packed like brekkie before you head out or like a dope like meal and snacks
when you get back late. Yeah, like like that's that that's awesome. Kind of reminds me of when
I used to work in the industry. I was a reverse trimagrant.
So I'd come up from Costa Rica to like Oregon and like stay on a farm for a few months and, you know, live in a tent.
But back in the day, we had like live-in chefs.
They stayed in the house.
But would bring out, you know, the most outrageous, amazing, all organic, like the best food you could imagine,
including like they'd come out to like the, you know, the barn we're in working at like 11 p.m. still
with like organic, freshly made chocolate chip cookies.
And like, you know, just like it was so legit back then.
And then everything changed, unfortunately.
But yeah, I remember a couple of years of just like getting fed some of the best food you can imagine three meals a day snacks like oh it was dope you
know my um you know what like my ultimate like dream retirement base my retirement plan is right
tell me tell me all right well i might as well just bring the other account in here. Okay. Well, before you grow there, just to let you guys know,
I am going to be grow hosting an event for New York Tech Week.
I've planted it in the garden, the RSVP page.
We're currently working on a sponsored deck.
So if anybody knows anybody who would sponsor events such as this,
once the sponsored deck is done, I'll let you know.
And we'll see what we can raise for this event.
Yeah.
And we can, if you want to talk on the back end about either consolidating events into yours or yours into another,
or, you know, getting more involved, like, I'm down.
Yeah.
I'm happy to give pointers
about who's going to be in the area at the time and i'm also trying to get up there and do some
fun stuff so yeah yeah that's going to be right before nft nyc so i think it's a perfect segue
yeah dope perfect so i got my other account in here this This is the, the tricky boot. This is the original account I made on Twitter
when I first started getting into NFTs.
So it's like from 2016, but I didn't like post
on the account until like way later
when I started doing actually my own project.
And then I made this account,
which I'm currently speaking from just for NFTs
and got it
verified and you can see the difference between a blue check and not a blue
check right I mean but but I'm using this account for two purposes the tea the
tricky tea which is like the daytime and the nighttime tea and also tricky's but
and breakfast so I want to be able to grow my own everything pretty much
and then also get local, you know, whatever's local and seasoned,
fresh meat and produce and then have a bed and breakfast
where, you know, with the smoke and the infused food,
you're not going to want to leave.
You're going to be like, like this food's amazing I don't
feel like moving anywhere we'll stay another night
basically that's where I'm going with it so yeah I think it'll be great I like
to cook late night too so you know like you'll you'll be up 3 a.m. smoking
because for one year if you're a stoner what else is doing and then you'll be
like oh shit tricky's making fucking waffles it's like a homemade compote
what is that blueberry strawberry and there's a chocolate sauce and I'm like
what wait where do those where did the cinnamon buns come from that's basically
what I want to get to so I can just do more like because I
mean I'm cooking something it's better off to cook like three or four times the
amount right for like efficiency in like the oven and all that right and then
share with friends so I look like a little vacation spot it'll probably be
like in California I would imagine but I really haven't like landed on a spot but I'm at a perfect moment right now where I'm getting bids on my
car and my house I'm like I'm gonna sell one car and the house and then take a
quarter million dollars and go blank I'm trying to fill in that blank right now
but we're finally at a spot where like there's nothing holding us to this location in Orlando.
So I don't know.
I like Colorado.
I like Oregon.
I don't know.
I'm stuck, man.
Looking for options.
Well, I'll tell you.
I mean, that's dope.
Congratulations.
I love Southern Oregon.
Really beautiful.
Like an amazing place to, you know,
bro veggies and other stuff too. But it does get a little cold for me in the winter.
I am thin blooded since I've been, you know, spending the last 20 plus years in Costa Rica.
And I grew up in just, you know, just north of the Bay Area. So I love California.
It's an amazing climate, you know are you so if you went an hour north of San Fran and then cut west to the coast just a tiny little
town on the coast here it's uh it's it's out on the coast in Marin which is like a kind of like
wealthy unfortunately it's pricey out here but if you go a little farther north or a little farther south maybe I mean probably
know where I was looking at we actually just drove through there beautiful like
different areas we drove all the way to like Santa we flew out of San Jose we
flew into San Francisco we drove north to Oregon turned around and came back so
we saw all along the coast and then like the redwoods on the way back and stuff.
And it was pretty cool.
I love that area.
It's beautiful.
The cannabis is high quality and cheap.
Like, yeah, I liked it.
I really did.
I do. I can see it getting a little bit cold, and I am a Florida guy, and my wife really likes it warm, too.
So that's the only issue.
But, man, we can just go on vacation for those things.
Right now we're in Orlando, and we're not even that close to the beach.
I'll tell you what I've done've done for years and it works great.
I try and spend some of the like summertime in northern California when I come visit family, when I go out to like NFT NYC and do my like speaking engagements and whatnot.
And then, you know, a big chunk of the time, especially for the winter when it's cold here, I'm down in Costa Rica where it's just absolutely beautiful.
So, you know, I highly advise it.
If you're going to go for like a chasing the summer lifestyle, Cali to Costa is a nice routine.
So I typed into AI all my prerequisites for what I want.
it's for what I want.
And it was like
Oregon,
Northern California,
Costa Rica,
Colorado,
there was another place
that was kind of random.
I don't remember.
I've got a property
to sell you in Costa Rica.
So, hey.
Sounds like a song to me.
It does.
It also sounds like something else you would hear in Web3.
Just a typical thing you'd hear in Web3.
You just buy this NFT and you're going to get a house in Costa Rica.
I've got some zipline property in Costa Rica.
Okay, so the question is, how big, how close to the beach, and how much?
So it's actually a pretty, like, compared to what you'd find around, it's a pretty big piece.
It's like 2,000 meters squared, I'm trying to do.
So that's like over an acre, a little over an acre or something.
It's actually, it is like a 35, 40 minute trip
to the beach. The reason I settled more a little bit in the mountains is because the climate is
way closer to like Cali. It's less humid. There's way less mosquitoes and stuff, but it's like 35
minutes to the beach. I grew up, you know, right on the coast, but it's still 20 minutes to
drive to the beach from living right by the beach. So also, um, the schools and stuff were a lot
better up there. And, you know, I was focused on raising little kitties at the time. So it worked
out perfect for me. Uh, the property that I do have that's for sale is, uh, only like, you know,
it's like 10 minutes from where I actually live. I wasn't planning on necessarily going in debt and buying a house after buying the property, but the opportunity came up
to get a lovely place. And then it wasn't like, you know, you avoid the hassles of building the
house and having to go through that. So that was just, you know, the that's, that's, I kind of go
all my life. I've kind of lived it by day by day. Of course I have goals and, you know, the, that's, that's, I kind of go, uh, all my life, I've kind of lived it by day by day. Of
course I have goals and, you know, dreams and all that, but I find it's, um, convenient for outcome
and not being let down too often to just kind of take it one day at a time. Um, and so, yeah, it
was, it turned out great. We have a lovely little place. Uh, I've got a property that I've been
sitting on for like 15 years or maybe more by now.
Jeez.
And yeah, it's, I mean, for someone that's a friend, I'd probably shave a little off the top.
So not much more than like 100 Gs.
It's actually, it's like less than 10 minutes from town, but you're on the edge, like the knuckle of the only mountain that comes right towards town
so you see sunrise over mount the like the tallest mountain in costa rica sunset right over the ridge
that is uh on the coast and over the whole valley of san ysidro i mean it's a it's a pretty incredible
spot um it's where i was gonna like build but then this other house came up and we had little kids
and it just you know circumstance so it's just right now it's just land and it's about like a little over an acre
and it's about a hundred thousand yep cool so how much so i could probably build a house on there
for between 150 and 200 oh that would be like a really nice house yeah and it would be sick yeah it would be sick dude
i mean i could uh yeah i i share i shared some photos on the purple app the other day because
i was going up there to get the property chopped and stuff and uh the guy that wanted to do it was
like yeah let's go up at like you know 6 a.m i was like okay i'll take you up at 6 a.m so i got
these epic sunrise shots and then of course uh picking up later in the afternoon, some sunset shots.
I mean, it's just breathtaking.
Like if you like a view, if you like the weather of kind of northern California,
where it's like super nice and warm all day, you're like in the forest, basically.
But you're right by town.
And then, like I said, 35, if there's like slow people driving like 40
minutes and you're literally in the water at the beach that sounds awesome yeah i i ultimately end
up having to find out like how close is it to the nearest hospital and my doctors and stuff because
of the fucking crones all that bullshit but um that's that's another reason why like living like close to town is is cool because
there is like the main hospital that my wife's mom actually retired from working at recently
um and then like a lot of like private clinics and like different banks there's a mall with a
movie theater and like you know there's there's everything you would need out of a town close by
but you're removed and you're just in nature and
then you're not too far. It's definitely not too far to just drive down to the beach in
the morning and come back after sunset and it's no big thing.
Here I am like trying to sell you my property in a space. This is hilarious.
And I'm like, yo, send me some.
Okay.
So what we're going to do is we're going to come to the terms.
We're going to put it in a smart contract.
We're going to mint an NFT against it.
We'll include the title in the smart contract.
You can do prop keys.
I already got my house on the blockchain.
You can do prop keys.
I saw that.
Yeah, prop keys.
I've seen that.
I better bet we could do it through unlock even better you could do it
through multiple there's multiple ways to do it I mean we could technically
write our own contract you know which would actually be kind of like that's
kind of bullish actually we don't need a platform like it's just long as it's
on chain that's all it really matters and like yeah and
then you can take you can specify what crypto you want or if you want payments you could even
technically do it as a loan but i mean i want to sell my house then i'm gonna buy it outright
yeah it's i mean that's the way the future whether it's your car your home the insurance
for said car and home it's all gonna be on the blockchain before too long
but seriously though send me some photos yeah yeah oh yeah we're we're hooked up on uh on uh
whatsapp i think already or telegram or something i'll shoot you some photos for sure yeah you can
shoot me anywhere text whatsapp telegram i'm everywhere i'm the best way to do it is just to get
if you do send me anything just gotta tell me through text or like verbally
like yo check your bubble because or else it might be four to eight days
before I get to you because it's like I guess I'm like 2,500 messages a day and
and I've got like 26 different profiles.
So it takes a minute sometimes.
I don't check the DMs on my other Twitter profiles except for this main one.
You're just a serial social media account setup guy.
Right.
Yeah, I mean, it's like part of me wants to get an assistant for that
and the other part of me wants to be like get an assistant for that and then the other part of me wants to like set up the ai to do it but maybe a combination of both would be good i don't feel
comfortable giving anybody my passwords you know what i mean even if they are just like nonsense
passwords that only access that one thing like i just i worry you know someone will you know try
to get my yeah but what you could do instead of giving up the full access,
you could just delegate people, right, that can manage it on your behalf.
Yeah, that's the cool part about Twitter.
You can just do delegate accounts.
So, like, I'll have my – this account is a delegate for a bunch of my other accounts.
So if I see something that I want to comment on but i don't want to comment as myself i want
to comment as like the crazy version of me or like the defy space talkies account or like maybe
wait a minute there's a crazy version of you right now that's unsettling right i thought i thought
that was normal behavior for you i know right it's it kind of makes you wonder what the hell is that guy saying
I'm just messing with you yeah I'll keep on making new accounts and then
changing the name well I'll get a bunch of my friends to follow me and now
change the name to like another thing and then they'll be like I'm following
this person so I guess I know And they let me up on stage.
And then it's just like absolute chaos.
It's a lot of fun.
Highly recommended.
Take on another persona.
Man, this has been a rough day for like a bunch of my friends.
I feel like,
all right,
I'm going to be zoned out for a little bit.
The buses have arrived for the sorority event I'm managing tonight.
It's not alcoholic and no alcohol,
sir,
but I still have to be on the alert for alcohol.
Cause it is a sorority after all.
Uh huh.
Uh huh.
Man,
you know,
I feel like I've heard the same exact thing from another friend of mine,
but his intentions were a lot different.
Hopefully you keep him safe.
I'm still like 50%, 60%.
That is the plan.
Maybe we need a music break.
Yeah.
That's a fair. That's a fair assumption.
Easy, you got something queued up?
Yeah, if Easy can play something, that'd be great.
I check my DMs and see if I can get it.
I was trying to get a couple of musicians in here, but Easy's got something.
I'm on mobile, so I don't really have a way to stream in right now.
Let's see.
I can get something in like a minute, maybe less.
Rock it. Get it within a minute.
Sorry, yeah, I'm not really set up.
I just have been kind of like eating bites of food in between convo.
And yeah, that's about where I'm at.
It's been a long couple of days.
But, well, T, make sure you keep them sorority girls safe out there on the real streets.
And we'll hold it down in the metaverse streets.
I can't tell if he's joking or not.
That's the craziest thing.
I'm like, you know, like, I would trust Will to, like, you know, be a proper chaperone.
But at the same time, like, man, that sounds suspect.
I think he's got to hold it down, man.
He's got his job IRL reputation on the line.
He was, like, guarding. Dude, the other He's got his job IRL reputation on the line. He was like guarding.
Dude, the other night he was guarding, I don't know,
maybe it was like a million dollars worth of classic muscle cars or something.
There's some responsibility that comes with that.
I don't even know his full job description,
except for he watches shit and takes care of stuff for
people it's true i've seen him at the victoria secret launch he was guarding over two billion
dollars worth of
baby girl you pull my
making me dance, making me sing.
Every time I hear that, babe, say what you want, take everything.
Empty my bank account, I don't even want all that money.

Because if I got you, I already got my bag.
Give me S it.
I know you got me on a string and I ain't tripping.
But I want to see you win out with division.
And you know I'm playing too hard to be fiddling.
Baby, that's your giving.
But you know what?
That's how it ought to be.
You win, I win, the philosophy. Anybody don't get it, that don't bother me

Take everything. and we're back
alright hold on a second
alright I had to just make sure I sent this out to the DM group.
I do not have any confirmed artists to stop by.
I've been booking some people for the 420 concert.
That's going to be fun.
That's going to be fun.
And after this, we'll do the...
When does this go to?
Is this another couple days before...
When is the actual launch?
You know, the Impact Concert is Sunday,
and then there's another couple days of GroNations, and then it closes.
So I'm thinking maybe it goes until Tuesday or something.
Midnight UTC on the 16th.
Okay.
Okay.
There's the actual information for you.
Perfect.
So my buddy, he said he gets paid on Wednesday.
So that is the 16 16. Okay, perfect so I can pay for it to I can donate Tuesday on his behalf
But midnight UTC is gonna be 8 p.m. Eastern cool on the 16th
Yeah, I'll make sure it's locked in by the 15th. Oh, no wait that might know that might be a p.m. Eastern 15
Go to get coin.co and it'll tell you yeah i like it when places do the courtesy
and they like convert it into your local time zone that's always nice i mean a lot of people
use utc i understand but i grew up in pST, so I can do easy conversions to Mountain Time or CST or EST, but I still haven't got it through my head what the Central Time and other conversions for other places in the world. It'd be a good skill to have. I could probably memorize it, but just haven't.
I could probably memorize it, but just haven't. Also tricky, check your WhatsApp if you want to
see a few pics of the view of the properties. Some of them are a few years old, some of them are newer,
but yeah, just a little taste of the view mostly. Some of the shots of the lot are like panoramic,
so it's actually a little bit steeper than it might appear in some of them but it like you know it's got kind of the the along the the edge of the road uh you've got a a pretty long uh distance there and then it kind
of drops down and then like there's a spot which would be good for you know making like a a plantel
they call it there and then it kind of goes down a little and then at the lower part another area
for like you know the orchard and the pool and stuff your music came through great i think maybe even throwing on another song might be good yeah i've
got i've got all my devices dedicated to this space right now so I've got one to play music and then two
in profile form but yeah let's like go ahead and share this out it is a Friday
night like I said there's a couple of spaces ending here in a little bit so
maybe we can see what they're up to and and then also what we got I said we got
four days of this basically, five?
Yeah, five days more.
That's crazy.
Yep, yep.
And we're just now what? I mean, well, we got part of Friday, then Saturday, and then Sunday at noon Pacific,
3 Eastern is when the Impact concert kicks off.
I think we might have like, you know, something like 20 projects and 20-something musicians
all come together and hang out here
and talk about the amazing projects
and play epic music in, you know, different languages
and from all over the world.
I think we're going to have at least trilingual.
Could go quad on this, depending.
I don't know.
What do you say?
There you go.
One of you.
I'm mostly just English and Spanish myself.
Yeah.
Mr. Roboto.
Man, switching between languages
is kind of a weird, funny thing for your brain.
How are you?
I'm trying to think think how many languages can we
cover in like one minute well it's it's funny because when i get when i'm down in costa and
i'm surrounded by spanish i'll even start to like think sometimes in spanish if i'm speaking a lot
of it um but it goes it's so easy to kind of revert back to English being my mother tongue,
it takes a while to get into like the Spanish headspace. But I've always kind of had,
so that the kids would be super fluent, like kind of at home, we use a lot of English because
everywhere else it's Spanish, you know. So yeah, I love language. I wish I had been able to do more
like language courses in school.
I didn't really have much offered when I was growing up back in the day.
Dos tequila, por favor.
All you got to know is just ask for a drink where the bathroom is and food wherever you go.
You're pretty much covered.
That should be your life goal.
Just make sure you – and if you cover Mandarin, you're like there's like half the people in the world right there.
Well, not really.
I think it's a sixth.
But still, that's like a good portion.
And if you learn – if you're going to a country and you learn just those few basic phrases and stuff, then people appreciate that that are there and so much can be said with a gesture with a nod with a wink you know with like the way you hold yourself and and your facial expression so you can communicate
really pretty well with a very small vocabulary if there's like a you know kind of mutual respect
between the two people and you can always speak in like very very deep but vague metaphors right
in any language and then people people would just be like,
man, this guy's fucking deep, you know, you just, like, you got three phrases, but it's like,
but what is, but, like, I agree, but what's the real meaning of all of this, you know,
you can say that in multiple languages, you can get through most of life.
Nice, these are language tips from Tricky Buddha.
Traveling hacks from tricky buddha learn how to order tequila the bathroom and a hotel room in any language and then also some vague platitudes on the meaning of existence and you're pretty
much covered because like you'll get into the bar and then you switch to vague platitudes after like
an hour and you're good like that people just think you're cool yo we could make a great documentary with you traveling around the world
with like a few of like the deep platitudes and then just like a couple other phrases and we show
people how it works right 20 words 20 words that made amazing friendships and experiences
and all throughout the world and no yeah no more than 20 words in each country.
And then just like a couple of vague like sentences,
you know, it's like,
was it really this hard to like memorize this stuff?
So good.
Although probably in the not too distant future,
the AI will be so good at translating that you won't,
you know, just on your regular the
the supercomputers we have that are called phones that nobody barely talks on phone calls with
well just instantly you can right now aim your phone at someone and it'll just give you subtitles
or like put on put on glasses and it writes subtitles underneath what they're saying
like any language translated immediately to English so yeah
well with a neural link like or something like that a little hat electrode that's under you can
feel the color you could have it like the speaking fish in uh in uh um hitchhiker's guide to the
galaxy where you actually hear it in the language and you speak and they hear it and they're like
you know that's where would you would you stick that thing in your language and you speak and they hear it in their language. Like, you know, that's where how crazy it's going to get.
Would you stick that thing in your ear if it could let you hear any language?
I mean, if I knew it wasn't going to burrow into my brain.
No, it's definitely burrowing into your brain.
And every day that you go, it gets further and further and more detrimental to remove.
But at the same time, you can't stop man you just
feel the fluidly understand your cat your neighbor and your wife at the same time would be amazing
but then but then you start like reading thoughts from people do you really want to know what
everybody's thinking i don't know the answer no, but I basically am already there anyway.
It's all just pattern recognition.
So, yeah, I'm not.
You'll get over it.
You'll get over it.
It's rough, but you'll get over it.
People are gross.
Yeah, here we are selling Elon's super third-generation Neuralink.
I was in a space earlier.
I was like, I am totally,
I'm completely pro Neuralink.
For everybody else, please buy that shit so I can hack you and make a zombie army.
It's going to be awesome.
Never have to lift a finger again.
People are just bringing you like
exactly the amount of butter you want in your Rice Krispiepie treat they trot on over with a tray of them and you're just
like yeah in command yes tacos and rice krispie treats on demand ultimate life goals i see i see
we've got magic in the building good to see you man i see see we have... I see Crypto Adventures. What's up?
I like my Crypto Adventures
is like a good name.
But also, like that's kind of
what my next drop is going to be.
Crypto Adventures.
You know, for the people who want like
an event or an experience
from their crypto, you know.
That's going to be like the ultimate key.
I'm going to put all that, like all the funds from the mint into like liquidity pools
and like different like crypto things and then use a percentage of the profits
every year to throw a party and then everyone who holds an NFT gets a
discount on getting the all-inclusive pass to that event.
So if I'm really successful, it'll just be like free party.
And if I'm not very successful, it'll be like, you know, 60% discount or 90% discount.
You know?
Heck yeah, heck yeah.
I was just, I was shooting a message over.
I saw Athos.
I was going to shout him out because I don't know,
maybe it was this space where we talked at some point.
Green Pill Brazil, developer and musician,
he just gave me a follow and I followed back.
He was here for a few minutes.
And so I just shot a DM saying, hey, like I saw you in the space.
You know, I was going to try and shout him out and see if he wanted to come out.
But hopefully get him for another musician for the Impact concert on Sunday.
Yeah, and so on Sunday, have you talked to Clay John by chance?
I shot him.
So he had said, yeah, he wanted to do it in like a literal tweet thread,
but then i've shot
him a dm and then one reminder although that was like day before yesterday it was like in the first
few days uh but i'm sure he has so many dms he's not gonna find you saw him a dm on twitter
no okay so i'm i share his profile everywhere but i'm like the active guy on his profile
to be honest it's like i'll just send
him an actual text message and talk to him yeah please do because he was he was super down and
and i was at his um i was at his performance last weekend in spatial um and and i mentioned it and
he was like super down you know was it was uh was, uh, you know, if, if like, obviously we hadn't
locked in a time or anything, but, uh, I think he wants to do it. And it's just a matter of
actually connecting and giving him a time window or him saying, yeah, I can do it at this time.
And then locking them in, uh, and, uh, out of body also, uh, really wants to do it, but might
have a family event. So I'm waiting to hear back hear back on uh if he's going to be able to
like have a little wiggle room to play us you know just a couple quick flute songs um but yeah
it would be great if you can reach out to uh play john it's and uh help lock him in it is it's this
sunday which is 13th yes sunday the 13th starting well musicians will start at like uh let's see what time would you
like me to show up just say three from 3 30 on till like uh this is eastern like 3 30 eastern
till like 7 eastern anytime and that and i don't want to be. So like what would be? No, no. That's the whole thing.
He can then tell me like a 20-minute window where he could play for like five, six minutes.
That would be totally like awesome and sufficient.
So you said any time from like – sorry, start to finish.
Was that what again?
Well, it starts at 3 Eastern and it's going to go to probably literally like eight but i'm
telling people for like booking purposes until i have that slot filled up uh tell him like between
like uh if he can make it anywhere between four and seven eastern he can choose any like 20 minute
period that works for him and i'll work him into that for like a like six minute set five six minute set okay which is just like a few songs but i think uh with so many speakers normally
we do more it'll be like 10 to like 12 minutes um but because there's going to be so many speakers
i i didn't want to make the thing like a 12 hour ordeal i just i'm just
gonna ask like a song or two yeah exactly three to eight song or two i just texted him um i'll
give him your information or you know yeah we're there's no way he's gonna see the dm on twitter
exactly yeah that's good cool cool cool super appreciate it he's awesome i i love everything he
does i think the more people that see him the you know the sooner he'll be rich and famous and bring
us all along totally and and i know him uh partially through like binks and third planet
studio and stuff um so yeah we you know we're we're definitely not strangers i just know that
he's not gonna see a dm that's you know like in the mix with uh hundreds of other dms it's really
hard to like he not only did he play my birthday last year for like an hour and some up but he also
did a concert recently for us with the v friends and he also um gave me his tickets to nft nyc
which like 1300 tickets i got me and Trey in.
And he's a, yeah, he's a DeFi Space Donkey.
He's been a member of the club for a while.
So I got his back.
I'm always shooting him opportunities
whenever I see him,
because that's what I do.
When you're in the club,
I try to, you know, connect the dots
and network for you
when you're not in places, you know?
There's a lot of people who,
there's people, honestly,
that I don't think they, like, understand how much I've actually done for them.
But, like, you know what I mean?
But, like, things are going really well.
And I'm like, yeah, you subscribed for a dollar.
And then I told my buddy you should get involved.
Next thing you know, like, one was a good example.
She was already a friend, but, like, I have multiple sponsors that, like, do edibles, for example.
I had $3,000 of edibles to give away at Zaucella, right?
So, anyway, like, I had three edible sponsors.
But there's this one sponsor, good friend, Christy.
She's Homegrown Creations.
And, you know, she subscribed, and she was, you know, which shows the support, good friend, Christy. She's a homegrown creations. And, you know, she subscribed and she was, you know, she would, which shows the support,
you know, whether you get an NFT or you subscribe, like, or you just share the content, like,
support gets support.
So she's been, like, very, like, supportive.
And I've been trying to push her into a couple of things.
And she got into being a Redman event with CryptoCam.
And then this last event, she actually sent some more edibles there to be a sponsor.
And now she's got a picture of Redman holding her edibles and endorsing her product.
It's super cool.
It's so easy to just connect people, you know what I mean?
But sometimes it's like, well, you've got to get involved,
and I've got to know who you are so I can know what to say
and know who to connect you with, right?
Obviously, subscribing or getting into the club makes it more obvious
because you've gotten in, and there's revenue there, right?
And I need to eat.
But at the same time like just getting to
know me and being active on content so I know like who to connect with what with who is like
the key thing and so yeah it's really cool seeing you know Seth with his you know geno plant coming
into the community getting getting a lot of popularity real quick you know meeting a bunch
of people uh quack life you know that definitely been blowing up in the community, getting a lot of popularity real quick, you know, meeting a bunch of people, quack life, you know, definitely been blowing up in the community with their, their,
their art is awesome. But that's all it takes sometimes is the right person to give you some
love and some shares. And then all of a sudden, everyone sees your stuff and then they know what
to get. They know what to do. You know,'t, that's the basic thing with marketing, right?
If nobody knows what you're selling, you can't sell it.
People got to know who you are.
But you just don't know where to put that money sometimes.
You can spend thousands of dollars on ex-marketing and get nothing.
Totally.
Yeah, you got to know where to put it
hey we got the tech in the house what's up but yeah let's uh we can share this room out
if i know i can i can hang around for a little bit more if we can get this room up to like 25
people real quick i'll do a little giveaway i got a little raffle going on right now and there's an
auction too for some special k glass are you you're in costa rica easy right like um right now
i'm actually up in northern cali but i am going back down in uh like a couple weeks so i actually
got to get my ticket um i was waiting because i had to renew one of
the things i was here for is to renew my driver's license and um i went in uh like the dmv is such
a mess um anyways i got i got it finally like renewed after i trying online a bunch but it
wasn't working and they don't want you like coming in specifically um but i finally like
got got to be able to go in and like say, hey, your system's
not working for me. So I need to do it here. Got it. Then they're like, oh, it'll be there in a
month. And I'm like, what for real? And then the guy was like, well, we just tell people that
because we don't want them like coming back or complaining when it doesn't get there.
Luckily, it came in like, you know, closer to what? It was like barely two weeks. So I just
got it a day or two ago. And so now I can like I do have my oral surgery checkup on the 15th.
So now like most stuff is squared away. So I can like I know my dates kind of I can look for a
ticket, go back home soon. And then I'll be coming back up, um, right before NFT NYC and heading to New York to, uh,
you know, like speak on a music panel and then host the, um, uh, the, the beyond the block for,
uh, Binks and third planet studio, which I did last year too at the racket club, uh, super dope.
And then also we might be doing, um, with the, the zao might partner and do an event before that
earlier and do a wave wars um so might be hosting a few things uh on the ground there in new york
and uh you know probably speaking again for like the fourth time uh at nftnyc nice dude
so you already have the speaking position for nfc nyc the main event uh i actually i i didn't
i just turned in my thing recently um i i know them pretty well because it's like a you know
third year alumni and i explained i'm like look i'm not gonna apply right now because
i haven't had a job and like or like not enough work for the last like six months
since my last like well-paying web three gig ended. And I didn't want to apply if I didn't
think I could go. And they were like, just hold off. If you think you can make it apply.
And so they gave me like a special code kind of thing that I could apply like whenever.
So I just sent that in recently and I should probably shoot them a message and be like,
Hey, I did apply. I am going to be able to make it to make it so but I'm sure I'm pretty sure that they're gonna just hook me up if not I can always
get a press pass yeah I have a couple of friends who were like I know I know the people who are
making the decisions so if you want to apply then apply and let me know so So if it gets closer and you haven't heard back, I can always
reach out and be like, yo, just
green light. Word.
I think I'm pretty good. I've got a
decent relationship with them. I've hosted
some of the music stuff
there, too. They're not having
music this year, which is kind of weird.
I was hoping to call that favor in
for myself.
You know what I mean?
But I don't know if I'm going to have sponsors to afford everything.
And it's either all or nothing.
It's either all the sponsors get.
Totally.
Either way, if I get a sponsor, they're going to get advertisement up until the event.
But if I don't actually get to go to the event, that's a huge loss.
I have to get over a certain threshold in order to be able to actually go to the event that's a huge loss i have to get over a certain threshold in order to be able to actually go to the event so right now i'm like not necessarily going but i would love to and if it's
like it'll happen dude i can i could apply for a speaking role but um i like just showing up right
i like you're showing up and making like the thing is what are you gonna remember more
you're gonna remember the speech you heard on stage or the like crazy after party where like
tricky gave you a ticket like a cookie and a fucking blunt you know what i mean i'll tell you
right now it's the tricky because i've been going to these events and speaking at them since like early 21 and like across Latin America,
across the states and stuff. And I've learned that you RSVP to everything and then you make
zero plans, zero plans, except the day that you're speaking. You go and you do the speaking
engagement at the conference that you signed up for. Besides that, you get a swag bag, you fill it up,
and you bounce. And then you're on the streets at all the satellite events where you're getting fed,
you're networking, you're meeting great people. Unless you're new, like I'm sorry, I love NFT
NYC, but unless you're either new or you have like a product launch, there's so much networking and art and music and great stuff going on in the satellite events of
NFT NYC that that's where I wind up spending my time. And with a crew of like 10 to 20 people,
we just roll mob deep to like the Pepe event, to the like, you know, whatever, the Nolcha,
to the this, to the that. And it's like, it's's like super long days but it's well worth it but you're
not just like sticking around the conference all day it's you know it's great for specific reasons
but i don't have those specific reasons anymore um so i'm i'm more out and about i'll definitely
hit the you know the panel or whatever and do my thing there um if they had music playing uh then I would totally be down to emcee the music.
I was kind of bummed to see this year.
I guess they're not doing that.
Yeah, I mean, it wasn't as rewarding or feasible
as it could have been, right?
And that's the thing is the market wasn't really booming as much,
so it was less people.
But now I feel like it, I don't know. I think it's a missed opportunity that's the thing is the market wasn't really booming as much so it was less people but like
now I feel like it I don't know I think it's a missed opportunity because I feel like now is
going to be bigger than last year if people were to pull it out properly but I don't know I'm going
to try to do more events where I you know I'll say hey I'll sponsor this I'll host this house
I'll cook and organize like you know a run a run around, so we all mob deep into different events.
I mean, last time I did it, I did 12.
Me and Trey, because we also got into the main event, me and Trey went to 12 events.
Like, 12 Web3 events.
In like a week.
Like, less than a week.
For that.
I thought you were going gonna say in a day
dude like my first year i think i literally did at least nine events a day on like multiple days
and i've mellowed we were spending two or three hours at least at each place
so it was a little bit more and i you know i you know I gotta make the rounds I gotta make sure everybody at the thing
kind of met me before I leave you know what I mean like maximize the networking at each place
because the first half hour 45 minutes is just like chaos at any place you go right um but
most people don't also don't know where to go. So maybe they might have one or two or three communities that they want to go to, and then they might get sucked into other things because they met somebody.
But a lot of people are just wandering around clueless at most of these events, it looks like.
That's a shame because there's so many good things.
Like there's every single event I go go to i'm missing another great event but you have to
decide one or the other because i'm not going to do 30 minutes or an hour at an event like i've
learned that i'm like a three event a day maybe four if i'm going super late into the night so i
can enjoy the event actually get to have long conversations with the people, whether they're artists or founders of some cool tech, um, like in those first year. So I would go to like so many different events and
it was like super exciting, but, um, it's, you know, you're just like, you're burning the, the,
the, um, burning the, the wick at both ends at that point. So it makes one more sense to like,
kind of choose your battles. And sometimes you like miss a friend that's performing or something, but you're at another friend's event. So it's
like one or the other, what do you do? Ultimately, I want to have a crew that goes around, but then
we have like a little bit of a blank spot where you can, you know, go run off with some other
friends or we are just open in case we find something that clicks with us that we didn't know it was happening because that always happens to
Like if you book yourself solid you'll end up being like oh, but I wanted to go to this other thing
Right. I see we got Zen D. Jen in the house up on stage as co-host welcome welcome
Let's grow
Let's grow.
Maybe she's not ready.
Or she's talking and I don't hear.
No, I didn't get any audio either.
I thought maybe it was me.
But either...
If Zen is talking,
you might need to drop to listener and come back.
It looks like Zen's glitched out, in which case you might have to actually drop them, Will.
And then bring them back.
You what?
Yeah, Zen is glitched out.
Drop Zen down to speaker or listener.
I'm here.
Oh, there I am.
I'm here.
Oh, woohoo.
Sorry.
Cool, cool. what's happening i'm loving this conversation about irl events yeah yeah you gotta like it takes a few years of going to like a bunch of
events before you kind of figure out your personal like recipe. And mine is like RSVP to everything,
but then don't run from like one side of town
to the farthest other edge of town
just to hit an event when there's like another one
with like some friends close by.
It's like, there's a lot of factors.
It's like super advanced trigonometry, geometry,
all these things come down, you know, social hierarchies.
It's like, it's a crazy thing.
But I generally just grow with the flow now, and it always works out perfect.
Like, plan for, like, three times the amount of events that there are time in the day,
and then see, like, who actually shows up in the end, and then whoever's, like, the most fun, you go with them.
Because sometimes you're like, oh, this person is someone I want to like network with and then like they're like yeah but they're not that
much fun i'm gonna well also if you don't rsvp and then you wind up next to the place i mean i'm
i don't mean to like sound like braggy or something but i've gotten into every place i've
ever wanted to go in and sometimes people give me shit about it, but I will just literally walk up. And if I'm not on
the list, I'll be like, yo, it's easy. I know so-and-so like the founder of this whole organization.
Can you just ask them if I can come in? And then they're like, yeah, oh, it's easy. Yeah. Bring
him in and all his friends. But, um, before that point, point, you definitely want to RSVP to everything because
you might like your plan, your, your, your plans change up and you can't RSVP because it's full
or they close it like an hour before the thing. So yeah, RSVP to everything that get, that holds
your interest at all. And then, you know, you try and go to like what you can sometimes
it's a little more like depending on if it's just a luma rsvp it's like rsvp to all those or
whatever if it's like a personal invite kind of thing you don't want to take up space at a limited
event if you know you're probably not going to go but that's pretty rare. Like that's few and far between.
Will T.
Is that audible?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. It's all good.
Yeah.
I, I absolutely like, I love the idea of like RSVP into the event.
So you can go in, but definitely leave yourself some like
flexibility and when it comes down to it though like just confidence is key with the right amount
of confidence I think you can get into any place and if you're like you're not confident put on a
hard hat or a lot or hold a ladder you can also get in but but seriously confidence is key one of the first events I did I was with
jaden violet we am and raver realm we threw a rave and we had we had a reunion and goonies there and
I ended up bartending the entire time because I don't like seeing people like not getting their
drink on so like I saw a line was like I'll just be bartender so it's really funny because they
after the event or like during my smoking breaks,
people would realize, wait, you're Tricky Buddha.
Yeah, I'm wearing my fucking merch.
Hello.
Nice.
I've been to a few of Jaden's events.
They're always super fun.
High vibes, man.
Big, big energy.
Yeah, absolutely.
So after that event in Art Basel a year ago, he goes, hey, we're going to go to this one club and I'm performing a set.
It's going to be cool. You should come check it out.
So I go to the event and there's like $150 tickets or like $65 tickets.
There's a couple of tickets. It's like 150 bucks basically to get in.
And I was like, I don't know about this. this i'm gonna just go up and like see what happens so i go up to the rope and i go it's tricky buddha from defy space donkeys
i was throwing a rave with jayden violet and he said this is the place to be so here i am
and uh they let me in my wife in and sarah fay and we were just like whoa did that actually work
what the fuck but i think they just don't
want to 100 they don't want to lose their job and they're like well he sounded confident enough
i think he belongs here i don't want to like ask scott just go you know i think it was more of that
situation but i was like did i just get recognized or was that just pure confident? Go to you, Will. Zen, are you in the background?
Yeah.
Yes, I am.
Did you hear?
Yeah, I can't hear her through my co-host
role though, so I'm going to rotate out.
It might be me.
I can hear her on the host device.
If you switch between mobile
and Wi-Fi and back again,
it always switches out.
No, that's not the case.
I'm switching between mobile to mobile in an 80-year-old building that's surrounded by concrete and steel.
Oh, okay.
That makes a bigger difference.
Yeah.
Yeah, we hear.
We'll hold it down.
We'll hold it down.
Good.
We'll see you in a second.
Yeah.
That's totally tricky.
It's totally true. Like the confidence speaks volumes because someone that's just paid a few bucks to like
guard the door sees you walk up like you're supposed to be there.
And I'm a knock on wood.
I've never been turned down from an event, ticket or not.
When I got invited randomly through a great friend to this super fancy, it was on the
beach in Miami.
It was a Christie's brunch.
Big old white tents, giant tables filled with like the fanciest foods you could think of.
Stop lying.
No, no, no.
Audio check, audio check. Am I good now?
Oh yeah, you're good, you're good.
Ren?
Yes?
You're in the background?
I am.
Okay, I had to start this session on my mobile because I was already here at work.
Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your story easy.
You can get back to it in a sec.
You should have said no, D-Gen.
Housekeeping.
What?
Huh?
Okay, cool.
Carry on.
So anyway, I had to start it on my mobile because I'd already arrived when it arrived.
So we're all good to go and back to easy
all right so I get invited uh actually by uh uh Jack's Jazz has uh an amazing place in in SoCal
uh best jazz on the ground but also best jazz in the metaverse they've been streaming into the
metaverse every Thursday also to the TokenSmart Discord, for years.
And I went down and hosted the first annual Crypto Jazz Fest,
which was a lot of fun.
This was like three, four years ago.
And he happened to have an extra room in Miami,
and I was showing up kind of last minute.
And I needed a spot to stay for one day
before the other Airbnb that I got like, you know, through a DAO was open. So he's like, oh, come stay
over at our place. I'm leaving the next day, but you can have the room. And so we had one day of
like, or like a, yeah, like one day of crossover before he was taken off. So he's like, you should
also just come with me to the Christie's brunch. You know, I've got like, you know, a guest plus one or whatever. And I was like, Oh yeah, that, that
sounds cool. I've never been to like a Christie's brunch. So we go, it's like so fancy, dude. I felt
kind of out of place cause people were like so well dressed and stuff. And I'm in like, you know,
whatever my like NFT swag. Um, but met really cool people, met some great people. Um, I'm trying to
remember the project name, uh, friend, the the friendship something or other nft swag is the new billionaire chic i'm just
gonna let you know oh i sold so check this out i had some pristine ftx swag from the year before
he went down and i sold that shit i brought it just to sell and I sold like an FTX. What was it? It was
like a hat and like something else for like a couple hundred bucks and NFT, bro. For real,
for real, for real. But besides that, so show up to this Christie's brunch, you know, super fancy
beach, like all the white cloth tents and everything. And I don't know how much the people
generally paid for those like tickets. And I'm schmoozing with some like, you know, the gallery people and whatnot. But then there were
some really cool NFT people there that had a project. And I didn't know them before, but we
made fast friends. And they were like, Oh, you should come to our thing tonight. And I was like,
all you know, I'll do my best. Can I bring a few friends? And they're like, Yeah, yeah. So,
so I show up no ticket with like, I don't know,
it was like probably eight people or something. And I'm like, yo, I name drop and so and so and
they're like, well, we need to call them out. And I'm like, yeah, bring them out. Like, no,
no problem. I'm not in a hurry. Just like when he's got a minute, come on out. And so they,
they, they, you know, they make the call, he comes out, he's like, yeah, easy is good with
all his friends. We all get in. They had dope swag too. I've still got a hat. If I could find it, I would remember
the full name of the project. The Heart, Friendship Heart, something. God damn, it's been years.
And it was a super dope event too. But yeah, you just got to like, you just got to network,
you make friends, you get invited to things, you follow up, you go. It's, you know, it's, and again, it's about kind of like just anywhere in life besides NFT things.
When I was like a teenager getting into like, I don't know, places where you're not quite old enough to be or like the Renaissance Fair, like whatever it is.
You're just like, oh yeah, I'm with the crew.
And then you walk in and they don't even ask.
You don't have a badge, nothing you just roll yeah the more you the more you show up the more like
opportunities just kind of come out of nowhere uh i mean i feel like the first two years i was
just kind of doing this because it's what i needed right and i was like just adding the value I could and in the last year
a little bit third year I should say it started to get really busy like just fingers in like lots
of different projects and then the last six months have been just like support from people who I
consider legends like that if I were to tell my like teen year like teenage self you know this these are
going to be your sponsors later i would be like get the fuck out of here like no i don't believe
it i wouldn't believe it and then i mean last week i got uh 1500 tickets to daytona speedway
to drive a car around the track like or the fuck is this? What is happening?
I would never buy those tickets.
There's no way I'm spending $1,500
to get to the pit
and then another $900, $700 to $900
to register a car
and then another $200,000 or $400,000
to buy a car. No there's just it's not happening
but that experience will be like unforgettable you know and you got it because you stuck around
and you met the right people and you you carried through on your word of what you were going to do
and they recognize that and they're like yo he deserves something cool we got something cool to give so you know it just it's about just like we have an extra ticket
we want some edibles and we know where to get them and also we know we're all going to get
better content than what we've made so so like they're like, yeah, they got content, edibles, and, like, you know, I had met a couple of them at the Zalichella, you know, festivals, and we had a great time.
So, that's the thing is you meet one person at an IRL event, and then boom, next thing you know, next IRL event, you know, on the house or something.
Dude, I got invited to – I don't remember the steakhouse name, and this was a few years ago. I get invited to a steak dinner at NFT NYC with a few project founders that, you know, I was like a community member in their project, but I didn't like, I didn't work with them or anything. But, you know, we were kind of, we just made kind of friends.
invite me out to this super nice fancy steak dinner with like a few of their like workmates
and like some family members. It was like pretty intimate. And then, and I think they were trying
to sort of feel me out because a little later, a few months later, they offer me a job and like
that, you know, I had that job for like a year. It was dope. Um, it's, you never know where things
are going to go and how you're going to grow. Good thing I have that pass, man.
I know I'm going to fumble it like six hours into the Impact concert.
I'm going to need that pass more than ever.
But I got it, so I'm covered.
I did on my tweet where it talks about the pass.
I said I got mine, and then I put an F the police gif in there.
So I hope somebody appreciates that.
Yeah, it's definitely
appreciated you know and if I am over my limit they can always build me after the
fact I'll make sure I do get coin donations if I haven't already surpassed
that number but you know yes I'm DJ in here and I know that this is her hour
it's good to see you we've always had some great conversations.
What have you been up to today?
Happy Friday.
Oh, TGIF.
Just had worked.
It was just a fair of a day.
So I'm just enjoying sitting back and listening to you all.
Yeah, I haven't had the pleasure of attending any of those types of events,
but it sounds like a blast.
Like everybody I know who goes says they're just...
What area are you in?
I'm in the Northeast.
Okay.
So I'm about two hours from New York.
Okay.
But I haven't...
That's close.
Yeah.
You got to come.
I mean, considering two hours i've i drive to
west palm often which is like two and a half three hours you know just drive there go hang out for
the day and come back and if you're gonna meet people who are gonna like fucking change your
life like let's be real like if you're not if even if you don't meet the people to provide that
the opportunity that you're hoping for you're're going to meet people and have fun and see some friends that are going to help lay the groundwork for the next time.
And that's all it is.
It builds on itself.
And next thing you know, visualize the win.
Keep speaking it into existence and hang out with people that support that vision.
And next thing you know, that that shit is done.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
If you don't meet the people that are like the people you wanted to meet, you meet the
people that introduce you next time to the people that you are going like it is without
a doubt worth two hour drive.
Like I grew up rurally.
So like it's like an hour and a half drive to get to like the doctor in San Francisco for my migraine check. Like I would drive two hours for a, for a, for a, um,
a web three event pretty much any old day. Um, I got to fly like multiple flights to get my ass
there and like throw down a bunch of cash. Although I think, uh, it looks like the reason I did sign
up is it looks like there might be some sponsorship to help me get there
So that's why I was like I'm biting the bullet
I'm doing it and then that makes it come to fruition also because I like believe in that and
You know gonna make it happen one way or the other and and it looks like you know
Maybe some sponsorships coming in to help get there
Let's talk more about sponsorships later at UC because I want to get you know get to more places as well
And I mean think about the
stupid shit you used to drive for a couple hours for when you were a teenager just looking for
just never mind i get it that's funny now yeah i could probably take the train
so yeah i would love to go at the next one. You know, it's just it wasn't feasible, you know, in the past.
Yeah, it's, you know, sometimes it's not.
I've had to miss Miami.
I've had to miss, like, it just happened that I've missed the last couple.
I haven't been to East Denver yet.
Denver yet. One of the times I was literally at the airport. I was out. Well, there was a COVID
One of the times I was literally at the airport.
check, like kind of like mobile COVID checking hospital right by the airport. It was like five
minutes from the airport. And so I was leaving Costa. I was going to fly up. Boom. A day, one
day in Cali. And the next day was East Denver. I was going to speak on a panel and everything.
I was on my way. I stopped for the
COVID check and like, dude, like 15 minutes later, I'm sitting in the cab waiting to get the results.
It's under an hour. Boom. You have COVID. You need to self-isolate or like report to the government.
We've already canceled your flight. Like it was like, I'm like, what? Like I have had like a kind
of a headache for a few days, but I like, I get migraines.
I didn't think that was COVID.
So I, then I did like, like the next day I was, I was like fever and everything.
So I'm glad that I did catch it and not like wind up getting like long-term COVID in Denver
away from all my family and everything.
But so I missed it that, that year.
And then it's just like circumstances have been
that I just couldn't swing it. I was going to try and get there this year. But it was like,
I had some stuff I had to do in Costa that literally put me like, just a few days to where
like, it was like, Oh, damn, if I could have done this a few days earlier, I would have been able to
go but there wasn't any way to move those appointments and stuff. So sometimes, you know,
but there wasn't any way to move those appointments and stuff.
So sometimes, you know, you can't make them all,
but guaranteed and you do not need like an actual ticket for the conference.
And this is generally for like Miami, New York.
Most of the big conferences have so many satellite events and that are free.
Or if you hold an NFT, you have access or whatever,
that you don't actually need to go to
the actual conference conference and you don't need to spend that money. It's great if you can
or if you're going to speak there or you've got friends there that can get you in or whatever,
but there's so much opportunity just in the area of the conference that it's like well worth it
to just go kind of on a budget. You can totally do it. You ride the train in.
You spend a long ass day in the city.
You meet a bunch of people.
You have a great time.
You make some connections.
You ride that train home and you're golden.
Yeah, I've heard a lot of people say that even in the satellite events, they've just met great people.
They make these connections and then they take those relationships back afterwards. So I would love to do it.
So we'll see what happens. You know, I'm also one that believes that,
you know, things happen for a reason, divine intervention.
Sometimes it's just, you know, not the,
not the way things are supposed to go so I don't get too upset about it.
I have done some small NFT there's NFT Philly so I've gone a couple of their events that
are right in the city which is only like about 20 minutes from me so that that
was nice we did one with the social bees with them so yeah it was it was fun it
was just nice to be in a group like a live
group of people that are like into what you're into because you know a lot of my
friends family and you know in my in my immediate area aren't even they're not
even into it you know so it's it's nice to just kind of be in that vibe, you know, that energy of it.
So small scale, but, you know, I have experienced it a little bit.
And there's nothing like it.
Like when you meet someone and, you know, after talking to them in the spaces, it's like, oh, my God.
It's like you're just you're already connected.
So it's just like friends, you you know coming home kind of thing.
That's totally that's awesome yeah start local you know yeah start making more connections
there and then you can bridge out.
Yeah we did we actually um we actually hosted an event at a like a little pub near us um
and that was a great,
it was like a show type of thing for people to come and show.
And it was a lot of fun.
I mean, it's nice to meet the founders of things
and just find out why, you know, their why
and just to get to know people, you know, so yeah,
I'm all for IRL events.
I think they're cool.
They're awesome.
But you guys seem like you've had a lot of great experiences and a lot of fun.
And yeah, I like how you say like,
just RSV to everything and then just go with the flow, grow with the flow.
I'm going to get so hammered with this. I have to get that.
I already feel relieved just from that. Like it goes to a great,
that's what I mean.
I don't really mind at all because you know,
that's my plan anyway,
but yeah,
so it's just fun.
The whole thing's kind of fun.
This has been a really great experience for me because I've,
I've,
you know,
I've met so many awesome people so far just being in
the spaces and you know being here again we got into a really cool like crystal
conversation last night that was awesome that's right up my alley we were
talking about that kind of stuff so it was cool yeah yeah no this has been a
incredible space oh and of course it rugs during, while I was the host.
I'm like, it wasn't me, I swear.
But, yeah.
Ah, yeah.
I mean, Twitter is kind of famous for rugging.
It's a ruggy platform.
It takes, I mean, I'm, honestly, it's incredible that everybody was able to, like, you know, figure out even how to keep it going as long as it was.
That's a lot of organization, having backups, all this stuff.
And yeah, I would be like, if I was part of the crew, like actually running it and being an official grow host, I'd be pretty proud.
host, I'd be pretty proud. Oh, yeah, absolutely. And I don't get as like when I first started doing
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
And I don't get it.
spaces, it was so bad. And I would just panic and get all upset. And it's like, no, just spin
another one up. You'll get people back in just retweet the space. You know, it's like, like
anything, you just kind of get get okay with it. Yeah. So but but yeah and the same thing we were talking about earlier is you just
you just like you don't quit you keep going whether it's like a good day or a bad day
and that's how you wind up you know connecting with all the people and and and you know uh
yeah that's just it's it's definitely the way to go if if if you're someone that's going to throw in the towel when it gets rough i i'd say steer clear of uh crypto yes well today was a little like a lot of people
were happy today i just find it so i find it so funny how people's emotions just i mean i get it
you know it's it's it's finances but at
the same time it's like I just kind of have a long-term vision so I don't get
as shaken when things get it's up it's did the I honestly I don't even know if
the markets dropped or went up like i i have learned to remove that totally from my
consciousness because in the early days i was a chart watcher i watched charts like during the
day uh a lot i mean i was learning so that was fine it was really good it was a good experience
i was trading uh you know during the ico craze like trading what i now call shit coins that were
like oh the next big thing uh reading the white papers and like the roadmaps and all that.
And some of those I still hold and I believe will be like are still building cool stuff.
I wish I just put all that in Bitcoin, though, you know, like, I mean, it's it's all a learning experience.
You don't want to invest what you can't afford to either lose or lock up for like a decade
And it is very challenging trying to be web 3 full-time which I basically am
I've got like a little side like you know, I still do my CBD salves and stuff like that for a small client base
And like, you know, sometimes help out friends with whatever it could be anything from like a landscape design to like, you know
sometimes help out friends with whatever it could be anything from like a landscape design to like
you know uh helping a family member my my sister has like a sauerkraut business and uh my brother
works with her and um but yeah it's like you know you gotta have some little side hustle for when
we are in this deep crypto winters um but otherwise it's like yeah there's dry stretches sometimes
it's been really tight financially lately but everybody in the world is tight financially unless you already made it and you're super rich so like it's not uh it's not
something to like beat yourself up over or you know sometimes it is some days are more stressful
than others you know when the bills come and you're like damn like when i had to like you know put a
bunch of thousands of dollars on my credit card for an emergency oral surgery because a tooth broke like That sucks, but I don't let it get me down for more than a day or two.
Yeah, I just, I mean, there have been times when I felt like, because I really
didn't have a lot of finances to just dump into it all at once. I listen to the geezers
every day and they're always saying that's the
first thing that i learned when i came into the space was don't put put anything in it that you
can't afford to lose so you know for a minute i was like not that i was suffering from fomo as
much as like just you know wanting to be able to take advantage of the scenarios and the dips that
were happening but i now i realize this is just part of it. There's a,
it's cycles and you'll have another opportunity. And, and even like,
I don't even like it in the beginning. I was like thinking I had to wait for a
dip. I'm like, I'm, I'm just gonna, you know,
just consistently put in there what I can.
Like whenever I get bonuses or extra, you know,
extra income that I wasn't counting on or something like that, that's what I'll throw in there, you know,
and I have a little account that I just put money in every paycheck and then, you know,
just building small, slow at a time, but it's starting to get there, you know?
Yeah. Yeah. You don't want to put in what you can't lose. But if you have an extra like $5, like buy some Bitcoin or whatever, like I you know, when things are really good, I'll start up one of those like, you know, 20 bucks a weekulating either in a project you really believe in,
or I would say, you know, probably the number one spot would be Bitcoin if you can get a few
sats on the daily. I mean, I've been lagging a little, but I need to go in, take a few minutes
from speaking and spin my wheels. Every day I go to like my Lolly app and I spin the wheel and I get a few sats.
And if you do that consistently after years, you've got like a million satoshis that you
then transfer out to your wallet.
And that's like, I don't know, some hundred bucks or 50 bucks or whatever, depending on
the market.
But that all slowly adds up too.
So like you can just be active.
And if you're consistent and you're doing it over the course of like years looking at it long term, those little actions add up.
Those little airdrops add up.
So, you know, it's about being active, being proactive, and then being smart and not taking too much risk if you don't have the stomach or the finances for it.
Yeah, I mean.
I don't, he, I don't know, I mean... I don't...
He... I don't know. He dipped.
I don't know where he is.
Maybe he...
If all of his personalities
vanished, maybe there was like a
quantum entanglement
and the Heisenberg principle collapsed
and now he's back to one personality.
I don't know.
But probably an internet issue or a call, and maybe he'll be back,
because he didn't really announce he was heading out,
and I think he probably would if he was taken off for the night.
Yeah, he usually does.
But, yeah, I've been, you know, with the mob in Telegram,
we have the mob social little mini app and like in our telegram,
we've been doing these battles and we have like this, you know,
this coin mob coin and you can farm it and then you can turn that into these
bolts. And now they have drop stop fund fun.
I'm sorry,
is a website where people can drop different
tokens and different coins and through just you know activity in the telegram
like you said just spend a time in there with my peeps just that we have they're
called battles like you just do these little bows and you tap and you farm this
mob and then you can convert it into bolts and then you can get free airdrops.
So they're called drops in our ecosystem.
And, you know, I've been accumulating there too.
So it's like real crypto.
You know, I think, you know, at the height, it was like 300 bucks.
I'm like, that's just awesome for like just playing with my friends, you know, just battling with my friends.
And then, you know, leveling up and it's been a lot of fun in there.
So the mob social mini app is on like any telegram can have it, you know,
and, and then use it for that kind of engagement with their,
with their community members. So I've been doing that, you know,
it didn't cost a penny so that's awesome you know
yeah yeah totally there's things where you can uh you know quote-unquote earn crypto without
having to spend money by being you know like what you just described there's you know different
little apps and games where you can sort of like mimic mine a lot of them are totally scammy like
uh just be careful there'll be a lot of them are totally scammy, like, just be careful. There'll
be a lot of ads that are like, oh, you can earn crypto here, but then you can never withdraw it,
or you have to have like a really high amount, or the fees are higher than what you could ever earn.
But I play like a couple little telegram games that are fun. And like, you know, eventually,
they'll lead to a little airdrop or something. And like I mentioned, I do a lolly, which is like, you know,
you can, like I used to way back in the day, I'm glad I did, I would purchase cheap like airfare
using my credit card that was linked to that and get a bunch of Satoshis for that. And then like
just every day you go and it takes like, I just did it takes like seconds uh today I only got like 26 sats or
something but sometimes it's like you know 50 or 80 um so if you just are consistent with that
uh and you do that on a couple like I do that on uh what's the other one uh
I can't hear you easy
is it me oh I'm muted I said go ahead will because I saw his hand up I didn't hear you easy. Is it me?
Oh, I'm muted.
I said, go ahead, Will, because I saw his hand up. Oh, I didn't hear him say, go ahead, Will.
No, I love Lolly.
Lolly's good.
The only thing I don't like about Lolly, though, is that you have to wait for a while
until it gets up to a minimum threshold to get it off their platform.
But then also I feel like with their merchants and their network and the rewards that they offer,
the more popular ones are less rewards than the least popular ones so they're like pushing you into a certain shopping decision you know what I mean yeah I honestly like I stopped using it much
except for just my free wheel spins because I have like other like cards that offer better crypto cash back if I use those and
I can fund those with crypto when I have enough. But I still go spin the wheel like without fail
every day. And I think it is like maybe up to like a $15 minimum or something. There's another
one. There's like coin app. There's different ones. I use different ones for like to help motivate me
going on my daily walks.
It's not earning a lot of crypto, but it does help with a gamifies getting my daily exercise in a walk, which I actually have to do before it gets dark.
I'm about to do that. So I activate three different apps that are all paying me for walking.
And then eventually and it might only be like once a year, but I've been doing these for years that I get to the threshold of like the 10 or 15 or 20 or 40 bucks or whatever to where it's worth pulling out.
And then I pull that out and I cash in.
I mean, I, you know, I can't say I've made a lot over these little dinky once a day touch a button apps, but it's hundreds of dollars worth of Bitcoin that like some of that's grown into way more from the early days.
Yeah, I mean, every little bit counts. Like that's where the drops on the,
on the mob social money app, basically, you know,
once you get your drops in your asset manager,
you can just decide to cash it out for, you know, for Tether and then,
you know, just take it out whenever you want so and they've
had some really good drops like I got some really good stuff on there like so
I was like alright it's cool it's fun so yeah just for your activity like I
think aren't like you know what's it called um play to earn you know I think
I think it's a good thing because,
you know, I used to play like those little, uh, cookie jams and all those games on my phone. I'm
like, I'm spending all my time here doing for nothing, you know? Right. Like, so you could be,
yeah, you could be earning tiny bits of crypto. Like even just like way back in the day i bought some metaverse land in the sandbox
now i bought it like at the you know uh not secondary uh but it was still like a few hundred
bucks or whatever at one point it was like worth thousands of dollars and i didn't sell any of it
but i've had it locked and staked now for years and every like week I get like a few NFTs and a little bit of like you
know ROI on that and over time if you're willing to just kind of lock it up for years like you do
make money off it it's not a loss at all so it's all about kind of like your timeline your
perspective not being like caught up in the FOMO, but thinking about things in like a much longer cycle.
And then you can kind of sit back and you're like, okay, I've got a little bit here, a little
bit comes in there, a little bit over here. I've got a great job for a while that pays good. And
then for like six months, I'm like scrambling to find work or whatever. But in the bigger grand
scheme of things, I know like it's all pretty good. Like by the time like I need to,
hopefully I can retire and like, you know, not be working till I'm like 90 years old.
But yeah, it's, you know, it's, it's, it's about kind of like trying to think on that longer scale,
I think. Oh yeah. I'm doing this like for my retirement because I'm like, if I, if I want
to count on my nine to five job, I'll be working till I'm 90. Like you said, I'm like, if I, if I want to count on my nine to five job,
I'll be working. So I'm 90, like you said, I'm like, I am not doing that. So yeah,
I'm definitely, uh, definitely looking longterm for this whole thing. Yeah. And I'm okay with it.
You know, it's like, it's, it's pretty cool. And the people that I've been surrounded with
in my community, in our communities, like, like the social bees and the monsters and stuff,
it's always been just take a little bit, do it a little bit at a time.
Don't get all crazy.
Don't take the rent money.
People do that when they see the dips.
It's like, no, no, no, that's not the way to do it.
I know that if I buy during a dip, it'll scientifically dip more.
So, yeah, you know, you just got to come to terms with that and still buy them and then buy the next one.
And eventually it does come back up in general.
general that's you know this markets move like up and down um and then yeah it's uh it's it's yeah
That's, you know, this markets move like up and down.
it's about kind of like taking taking those small steps uh frequently and also i don't know why
people like you hear about like people freaking out because they're getting liquidated and they're
going to lose everything yo i have never leveraged a penny and i would never do it. Like, I don't care how good it looks to you to like,
you know, 10x your money. If you get liquidated, you'd lose everything you had. Like, how is that
worth it? I don't understand. That's like an emotional response when you should be taking
out the emotional response and looking at it pragmatically. like it just, I never get it. And I see it
happen to people every cycle. Yeah, I'm a diamond hander for sure. I'm just howling. I'm just
building and building and building, you know? Yeah, I get it. I don't know. Some people like
that. It's like, I guess it's like going to the casino for them. It's that excitement, you know, I mean, I get it, you know, there's that possibility. But like when I first came into this space, it was like at the height of like 2020 and if T season was going crazy, everybody was just it was wild when I first came in. And I was like, okay, I'm not I'm not doing anything You know with that when they ask and we'll see or you know somebody that I trust
Like what's going on here? So it was just like ETH and Bitcoin like that's all I really
you know put put anything into and kind of
Stayed like in my lane because I was just like, you know
People are getting rugs all the time and they're like, and you would hear that one story of somebody
just making it like, you know, an outrageous,
an outrageous, you know, high.
And then like, but everybody thought
that was what was gonna happen.
Like when they came in here and it's like,
that's just not realistic.
Like, like I get it, like, you know, play a lottery ticket.
It's the same thing.
It's like, you know what I mean?
You're not counting on that happening.
So I get like maybe throwing a couple bucks into something that you really think might go.
You know, I watch the wise guys, which that's a group, a couple guys that are in our, in our community have a YouTube show called the wise guys.
And, you know, they, they kind of do all the research.
And then they, like, kind of tell us what's going on.
And, you know, Ray is very into, like, AI.
So, you know, that's his...
He just really likes the idea of it and feels like that's the way it's going to go.
So he kind of will steer us in those directions and it's not financial advice
of course but it's like listen like this is what's out there this is what's behind
it always do your own research you know check it out but but like the tech in the
eye like I I like something that has some kind of functionality you know
behind it because I feel like tech is definitely going to, you know,
it's growing every day. There's different things happening every day. So for me, that's kind of
where I'm going to kind of put my money if I have any, like extra, you know, but because there's a
possibility of something really happening, you know, all the infrastructure and stuff that's
being built. And I, and like those types of things do have staking.
Now, I haven't gotten into the staking part.
I mean, I've listened to Will T.
You know, I listened to his teachings, you know, on KF Media.
But I haven't really delved into that yet, which is probably the next step for me
is to, like, learn how to get into things and then stake.
Because it seems like and like
you said that's like long term you know that makes a little more sense to me
yes absolutely absolutely um yeah and every once in a while I'll share like you know the links to
my like whatever my lolly or my
walking apps and stuff. But I generally hold back from doing that too, uh, just because,
um, I don't know. I just, you know, if it's something that I've used for years and like
made a little on every once in a while, I'll send like a, you know, a warp cast and say,
Hey, like, if you like walking, I've been using this app for a long time. I don't earn a lot of
money on it, but it helps kind of motivate and gamify.
Like I'm about to like be quiet for a while and go for a walk because it's actually getting
dark and I didn't walk today.
So I'm about to fire up a couple apps and go for a walk.
But yeah, if anybody's like interested, you could like DM me and I can share a few links
on ways to like, you know, slowly just add a little bit to the bag.
And I don't even
really like for years i i would do that i'd be like oh i think this like little coin this one
might be something i'll put five bucks in it or two bucks or ten bucks i pretty much stopped even
doing that as like the game luckily i've never been a gambler or buying like lottery cards it
isn't something i got into and so i don't even really speculate on like putting in like
five bucks and it's gonna maybe make me rich because that just doesn't really happen the
most times people are saying like oh i made millions off buying this nft or this coin
they're mostly lying like if you check it on the blockchain like at least half of them
it's not even true um so you know it's like, you can do that, or you can, like,
set up an AI bot to, like, you know,
check all this stuff and, like,
give you advice, or you can, like, have,
like, you know, experts tell you,
like, oh, this was the one, but
in the end, it's like, there is no
get-rich-quick scheme. Right.
It's not happening.
Yeah. I mean, I'm a glass-half-full
kind of gal, but at the same time, if it sounds too good
to be true, it usually is.
Like, it's those types of things.
I just think they're so far and few between that it's like, I'd rather just put my money
in ETH or Bitcoin.
Yeah, I worked hard for it.
So I want it to be, you know.
Exactly.
You want it to work for you.
Right.
That smart money, Bitcoin, that Ethereum, the Ethereoids and the Bitcodes.
Well, go take your walk.
And that's cool that you'll be on your app earning while you're doing it.
So have a great walk.
I'm outside.
I'm going to drop to the audience.
And when I get back, because I'll probably lose reception too.
But I'll be back in a little bit.
Peace, y'all.
Keep growing with the flow.
Have a great walk.
Let's take a deep, I'm taking a deep breath.
I'm going to stretch a little bit.
I had a long day today.
Long day.
Happy that it's Friday. As we like to call it fire frickin Friday
yeah fire frickin Friday I see you will see I see you yeah so not sure what I'm sorry. Do you really see me?
I do.
I see you.
I see your emojis.
How's your day been, Will?
Did you get to rest today?
Yes, I did.
And now I'm at the museum.
We're having a sorority party tonight.
Non-alcoholic sorority party and we already had to uh
send someone home because they pre-gamed too much
it's always gonna happen isn't it yeah the raves are worse though oh i'm sure they are
but you get to see all these these, like people going to these events.
That's kind of cool though.
Yeah.
I used to go to the museum with,
with Susan.
We used to,
that's when I first met her,
that's what we used to do.
We used to go to the museum.
They would have like,
yeah,
at night they would have like music and stuff like that.
Cool.
Well,
this is the aerospace museum.
Oh, okay.
That's neat.
A little bit different.
Yeah, that's neat.
So how are her and Mark doing?
Good, good.
I mean, always busy, you know.
I haven't really talked to her in the last week or two,
so I'll probably chat with her tomorrow,
see how things are going.
And BTTB's busy with her day job.
She got busier with that, I understand.
Yeah, I mean, from what I understand,
like she got a promotion on it,
or she was part of a new team and everything.
I know she did some,
like they had like this big artwork.
It was like, I guess, did some, uh, like they had like this big artwork. Uh, it was like, I guess, you know, you could, um, do, do,
it was like a contest sorta, you know, and she won it.
So she's been doing really good. She's been doing, I know she's really good at it.
Um, yeah,
I have to talk to her cause she hasn't done her space in so long. And know that was because of work and stuff like that because she did it
during her lunch hour as well.
But maybe
when things start, you know.
Her kids are small.
Melanie's situation.
Mind his mouth.
Nothing. Not a peep.
I haven't been in touch with her for a long, long time.
I know she's been posting
updates on Facebook because I keep getting regular texts, but I don't check Facebook that often.
I don't either.
I'm never on it.
Never.
This is the only platform.
I don't have time.
I just, like, I can't.
I don't have the bandwidth for other social media.
You know, I try every once in a while.
I've got a patron approaching me.
Go ahead.
Go ahead. Go ahead.
That's the song I sing when I'm waiting for my computer with the little blue circle going around.
I'll do the Jeopardy theme.
I'm going to have some water while I'm waiting.
I see a couple other people in the audience.
If you want to come up and talk to me and tell me what you're doing,
what your project's about, I'd love to learn what's going on.
All day long I say grow while While I'm by myself now.
And then when I get in the space I forget.
It's one of those things.
But yeah.
I need to do some.
I should put some like singing bowls on or something in the background. Let's see if I can find them.
I like them.
We'll put them on for like a vibe.
Let's see.
Um, let me think.
think so I'll have some vibe music or some vibe sounds search typing in Tibetan bowls.
The only thing is, you know, I don't have the...
You don't have what?
I don't have the paid version of YouTube,
so there's always those commercials.
I can't stand them.
Oh, on YouTube yeah I can't hear you yeah YouTube you got to do the commercials first yeah I got it let's skip let's see what we get.
See if you can hear it.
Put some nice vibe. Let's see betting bowls on the background.

Well
Those 20 weeks of sleep
I just go in my study space
I just say to join I really want to go to sleep. I was going to study space. I just said to join.
Though I really want to know more about it.
And then you see, being on the space for 16 days,
I'm very shocked, very, very shocked.
Like very surprised about that.
It's really, really,
really massive though, yeah. It's a, really massive.
It's a group effort.
A lot of people are giving their time and hosting and coming in and being speakers.
And it's been a wonderful time for me because I'm kind of new to the whole Gitcoin experience.
But I love our tree gen Jimmy and I said,
I'm in for you, you know? So yeah, I,
I don't, well,
you would be the one who could explain more about what we're doing. Um, but yeah, so I'm just like kind of chilling out being Zen before I have to go to bed
so I'm on the other side but yeah
oh that's cool and what's your what's your what's your thing what do you do
what's what's your crypto life like what's going on well I'm so lives I'm basically well I'm pushing
like just keep on doing our thing the way we do it well I'm into until it drops until airdrops. Airdrops? Yes. NFT, airdrops,
moderators on
Discord.
So that's what I've been doing lately.
Okay.
I'm looking at your profile.
See what you're
all about there.
Well done. So are you a moonster? you're what you're all about there well
so are you a moonster
yeah i just got bumped to that today oh today
yeah nice what brought you to that
yeah what brought you to that what made you decide to get one of those NFTs?
Well, I got an update from a friend who joined me to the ecosystem economy today. So,
it was hard to give us support and then then see what they have to give to the community
as well.
Nice.
Nothing like getting involved with a good community.
I think that's key here.
Yeah, exactly.
Yep.
So yeah.
Are you going to give me a literally about the old gitcoin community
well it's a bunch of regen people who are out there trying to help the world
help people they have amazing projects Jimmy is the I think he is still the Guinness book record for the most mangrove, most trees planted in a day by one person.
Wow.
Yeah.
I mean, a lot of people.
Go ahead.
You say?
No, I was going to say, there's just a lot of projects if you go to let's grow
dow um you can see you know tons of posts of what people are doing the different projects that are
out there um just trying to help the world you know we have coral restoration and regenerative
farming and plastic cleanups and beach cleanups and trees planting and just
all kinds of amazing projects that are out there just doing wonderful things. And, you know,
Gitcoin, they go into these rounds to get, you know, funding and there's matching to the people who, who, uh, you know,
grown eight for them. And it's just, it's just an effort to bring, you know,
to bring people into the space to hear about what they're doing and see if they
want to support it. Yeah. They're going to have a, um, live on,
on air online concert on Sunday at 3 p.m. EST yeah it's gonna be a lot of
fun a lot of different musicians and people are gonna be there so I'm
looking forward to that yeah just a bunch of nice people well yeah let's go Wow. That was great. So yeah, give Let's Grow a follow and then you can find out more about what's going on
there.
And I know Jimmy does Max Impact interviews every day, almost every day when this 24-7
is not going on, but he's doing them throughout the the whole
24-7 space. Yeah
Daytime is a little our daytime is a little bit more
bumping, you know now it's a little bit of a lull time. So
There's not too much not too many people coming in and out at this time
Yeah, that's true so
i thought it was nice to talk to you yeah oh that's great we can offer all today's
um and then i'll check on needs right away okay yeah thanks for coming up like this the the longest space i've ever had of
it's the longest space that you've ever heard of yeah i was part of i'm a part of a community the
social bees that in 2021 am i right will give me a thumbs up if I'm right. 2021, 2022.
Was it 2022? Absolutely. Yep.
We did a 60 day, 24, seven space.
Yeah. 60 days. It was a wonderful experience.
And that was all about innovation and collaboration. And, um um it was just amazing because so many people
came in and just had great ideas for how we could innovate and collaborate in web3
so i learned a lot during that time and i'm learning a lot here like um you know just being
a host for an hour, I get to meet different
people. Go ahead.
Yeah. So it's all like, what are the challenges facing like all this long space like this?
Things like you encounter during the process?
I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you said. And then, like, what are the challenges you face during space, long space like this?
Well, the challenge, the biggest challenge is keeping it from getting rugged, which, you know, X spaces do tend to do that from time to time.
So, yeah, sometimes I think, well, how many did did we go the last stretch that was the
biggest one 150 was it close to it without it rogan i'm not sure we'll see you actually at his
work right now so you may not be able to unmute but yeah we went for i know we went for 140 some hours without it ruggin and then
you know we just spin it up and start again but you know except for the platform i mean we would
be able to go continuously so that's the biggest challenge i would say and then of course you know
we do have hosts that signed up for their times and life gets in the way sometimes.
So they have to cancel and then we have to try to fill that space.
And Wilty and Jimmy have gone with, I would say the biggest challenge for them is getting some sleep because they're here a lot of the hours.
You know, hosting and co-hosting and interviewing and things like
that so yeah i mean i i would say that that's the biggest challenge i'm not really you know
the person running the space so i couldn't speak to all the challenges that happen but
i would probably say having the space you know actually stay going because of the, um, platform would be the biggest challenge.
Oh, that was a lot. That was a lot.
Yeah. There's a lot of people behind the scenes that are, you know,
keeping it, keeping it growing. And, uh, yes.
I see a wild peanuts in the space.
Who am I? Oh, there we go.
You know what that means?
That means?
That the public nouns are watching us.
Oh, okay.
What's that mean to me?
It means they're looking for public good opportunities.
Oh, yeah?
I'm not familiar. Oh, you don't know what a public good opportunities. Oh, yeah? I'm not familiar.
Oh, you don't know what a public good is?
I know what a public good is,
but I don't know what the whole public nouns being in the space means.
Hi, public nouns.
Maybe you should call them up on stage.
Okay, let's throw a mic out and see.
See if we get a bite and they can tell me all about them.
Because I have not heard from this account yet.
Oh, no?
No, I must keep missing it.
You're missing out.
I know.
I've seen the PFP there, but i haven't heard anything about it
let's see i threw a mic out let's see if we get a get a bite so you know about the nouns
right um the nouns now yeah no i don't oh yeah now style is one of the most prominent uh dows in the space
okay and i believe they just had their last auction to complete their entire collection but
a lot of their uh nfts are like double digits oh
are like double-digit ETH.
Ooh.
They got some clap going on.
And so P nouns or public nouns.
Okay.
The fork of the nouns down.
But you remember when we used to have the auction on the social bees?
Yes.
That inspiration came from the nouns down.
Oh, okay.
Cool.
So they had a daily auction and i feel like
not that long ago they just had their last daily auction okay i need to go check this out
public nouns i'm looking at it now public nouns for public goods
oh so what the public nouns now has been doing is they've been building their treasury Yeah. Public Nows for Public Goods. Oh.
So what the Public Nows now has been doing is they've been building their treasury to fund public goods.
I like it.
Let's grow.
Yeah, I'm new, so I don't know all these things, Will.
Yeah, I'm just, I'm new, so I don't know all these things, Will.
That's why you got a traveler like me who's been around for five years.
That's why you're an expert.
Can you hear that background music, by the way?
Okay, good.
No, I cannot.
Is it good music?
Yeah, I mean, it's like, I don't know, pop, club, dance music.
I like me a little EDM.
It's not really EDM.
It's more like beach vibes, like Miami vibes.
Yeah.
That's good, too.
Yeah.
Nice.
No, but I can't hear it.
Okay, good. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I will. I will start is winding down. I think this party is winding down. There were 250 college age students
who came for a
sorority party
at the museum
there might be 50 left
they started at 730
you think those youngsters
would be able to hang longer than 2 hours
you would think
they're probably
going to the after party is what they're doing
because you know what germaine you know what germaine jupri says
no i don't but you're gonna tell me after the party is the after party and
after the party there's the hotel lobby something like that. I don't know. Welcome to Atlanta
on YouTube.
Okay.
Well, you said that it was like a dry
party, right? So I'm thinking
they're probably going to go
somewhere. Some of them pre-gamed, but it
is a dry party, yep. 100%.
So, you know,
they pre-gamed. I'm sure they're going to
post-game.
You know?
So, I know you can't say what sorority it is,
but that's kind of neat that they're having a sorority party at that museum.
That's kind of cool, right?
It's not like just a house party.
It's a like just a house party.
It's a big deal.
I think.
So, yep.
I see Green Planet. I guess it's not their time yet
I want to hear what's growing on there
it's been an awesome day
that's Edward
he's in Nigeria
Jars
something like that
is that my Green Planet? yeah Jars or Jars, something like that.
Tell my green planet.
Yeah.
Oh, I can share what sorority this is.
Oh, you can?
Yeah.
What is it?
Delta, Delta, Delta, Theta, Beta chapter.
Okay.
From CU Boulder.
That's cool.
Yeah. I don't know much about like sororities and like.
Neither do I.
I tried to study the Greek alphabet one time in my high school career.
And that's about as far as I got.
Delta.
I know Omega. I know that one. And beta. And alpha. I know delta, theta,
because of the sleep cycles. Alpha, theta, delta. And the sleep cycles. I that i know theta is like the the theta is the
what's the waking state refresh my memory well the waking state is alpha okay theta is that
space right between when you're drifting off to sleep or waking up from sleep and that's like
the magic time for like manifestation affirmations time to practice your gratitude i feel like that's the production
i i guess i don't know i don't really know about that aspect of it but i know it's like the the
in-between state between your conscious and your subconscious so it's like that that's like the
for my experience and what i've learned
that's the perfect time to like um you know like put your manifestations out there and kind of
it's supposedly it's that it's the link between your subconscious and your conscious mind so
so that's the space of enchantment. Yes, it is.
That's what I call it. I call it the magic
time.
That's where the magic happens,
where you're, like, connected with your higher
self, you know,
and then you just,
like, that seems to be the
perfect time for manifestation, for that
vibration of putting it out there
into the universe
so theta state is the state that you want to be in that's the state you're in when you meditate
like that's what you're doing when you meditate you're getting yourself into a theta state
it's pretty cool and then delta is like deep sleep you know where you're in you go into REM sleep in
delta so there's some really good meditations that I have like for drifting off to sleep and
then putting you into the theta state and there's there's one there's this guy called Aaron Dougherty
um he's on youtube but he did this awesome like theta meditation where you like sit in this chair
it's pretty cool and there's a dial on the chair so you know you get yourself into like a you know
a quiet state and then you you turn the knob on the chair and it takes you like into the theta
state and then you're like while you're meditating because it's a guided meditation, you put out your meditation, you know, your manifestation, what you want to see, like you kind of want to say it, feel it, you know, to try to get that mind, body, heart coherence going on.
You know, when your mind and your heart are in coherence.
That's pretty cool.
Like there's some really good meditations out there for it.
But they're not really long.
If you get a chance, research Vishen Lakhiani's six stage meditation.
Okay.
I ordered the book.
I know you ordered the book, but the meditation's not in there.
You got to find that elsewhere.
Oh, okay. Sixth.
Sixth stage or state?
I think maybe somebody's talking a little.
We'll see.
What'd you say?
I said, is it sixth state or stage?
No, sixth stage meditation.
All right.
Cool.
I wrote it down.
I love all overview.
It starts with meditating on self and then expanding out to the world.
Excuse me.
You know, that's my mom.
She's calling me.
Hold on.
Matthew's got this.
I got to escort patrons out of the building.
Yeah, we got any projects down below
want to come up and speak?
Or have any comments or questions
or just talk about anything?
I just retreated the space
and I put the launch party in a lot of places.
Yeah, go ahead, Bunny.
I have a question.
Sorry.
Yeah, go ahead.
Okay.
So like as a community, a Gitcoin community, like as a member of the community, like how do I support this project? How do I support the Gitcoin ecosystem and then the project entire?
Yeah, if you go to Gitcoin's page and you go to the Explore grants, they have a lot of different
grants. And they have different types of grants that support different things. So
you can look at all the different grants that they have there.
Okay.
Yeah, so not all of them are regenerative finance.
You know, Gitcoin works with different types of things but yeah there's you know like d d sci refi there's daps and apps and
and then also just supporting the the web3 ecosystem for blockchain and stuff as well
yeah there's a lot a lot of great projects and for you know for like let's grow dow i
did two donations to them recently in the last one um i donated about five dollars
in the matching funds we're going to be close to five hundred dollars so if you've got a big
project that has lots of support they literally literally can get up to around 100 times matching funds, meaning if they had 1,000 people donate $1,000 each, they could get up to $100,000 in matching funds for a total of $101,000.
But their core community that really knew them only gave them $1,000.
but their core community that really knew them only gave them $1,000.
That's really why I love quadratic funding and how important it is
that we keep educating more people about refi and about quadratic funding
and then onboard some more people with deep money like university endowments
and pension funds and family offices and wealthy people and big corporations.
funds and family offices and wealthy people and big corporations. That's how we get the trillions
of dollars into both for-profit and not-profit exponentially over the next 10 to 40 years
to help make humanity a brighter future. Because if not, we're just going to sink.
So we're at that sink or swim time time right now and personally i've been saying
that for about 25 years and we've gotten better in certain things um and now we've got ai and stuff
and uh there's some good that ai will do for us um but yeah we definitely have a lot of challenges
and pollution that's one thing i'm an expert in pollution because I've been studying it for 33 years and promoting the solutions to pollution.
You know, like bottled water, a lot of people talking about bottled water,
how when you're drinking bottled water, one, they're saying a lot of bottled water is just tap water in America.
You know, they said like over 45% was tap water.
Now, maybe they do filter that tap water again, which would be better.
But you're getting like nanoparticles of plastic into your body,
into your bloodstream, into your brains.
So, yeah, we really are at a critical moment.
And, you know, we don't really want to scare people,
but we have to let people know how serious it is
and let them know that we do have the solutions.
And polluting less is one of the
bigger solutions and that's something that even far right people can understand and agree with
versus global warming climate change because not everyone on the far right really thinks
that there is a problem or that we are creating it
we are creating it.
Oh, that was impressive.
It's a kind of power to store other projects
and then in real life situations, right?
Yeah, I mean, we have projects in, you know,
basically all over the world that are doing regenerative finance and, you know, planting trees, you know, and we really do more accountability, being more transparent and proving that they're actually planting the trees and then seeing how many of them make it and stuff. stuff and you want to have experts helping doing plastic cleanups beach cleanups cleaning up the
ocean you know so there are a lot of good that are being done outside of gitcoin and giveth
quadratic funding my goal is to help educate about gitcoin and giveth and i've been doing it on
multiple platforms to help onboard more people because if you just do a fundraiser and you get a dollar donation and it's not
quadratic with, you know, the chance to up to a hundred X,
then you're not getting the most bang for the buck.
So I really believe that the more people who are doing good and have public
goods and regenerative finance and doing education,
I'm really big on like permaculture schools, regenerative farming schools,
because we have to educate, we have to communicate to onboard more people.
And really, I think if the average person really understood what we were doing,
working with farmers and planting trees and schools and education and stuff like that, I believe that,
you know, everybody would support it, at least in theory, whether they would get active or
promoted or donate any money. You know, that's another thing. But, you know, we just really have
to communicate and educate more people about what progenitive finance is doing for our world and
how critical it is that we
keep growing it exponentially for decades.
That was great. That was great.
Yeah, a lot of us have been on a lot of these spaces i've been on
bitcoin spaces for three years now and hosted a lot and you know and i've hosted thousands of
other spaces so you know you can really learn how to speak and how to present um on these spaces
so we're in the wee hours where we normally have less people because it's like sleeping time in America and it's early time in Africa and Europe and parts of the world.
So sometimes we do music or motivational things or sound healing during these wee hours of the morning for most people.
Okay. That's good. So now like this, ever someone have a project that wants to maybe just
know that our support, does it mean that he can come to you and then you do fundraising or your
support or by making awareness
of the project in what will like how do you support someone that is trying to get well
okay yeah so let's say that you have a project if you come here we can teach you uh we can you know
one tell you to go to the gitcoin rounds and take a look at them, read some of the projects and stuff like that. And then we give you a platform 24-7 for two weeks during the Gitcoin rounds
so that you can talk about your thing and get more people to like,
retweet, and donate.
We do our best to teach you how to present.
Because if you have a project and you're new and you don't really
know anything and you come up here and you talk in a monotone voice, hi, my name is Fred and I'm
going to tell you everything about my project that you don't want to know, you're going to lose
people. And actually people would leave and leave the space., we do our best to teach you that less is more.
Hi there, my name is Matthew.
I'm creating a regenerative finance hub here in Serbia.
It's going to be an eco showcase.
We're going to have a healing spa.
It's going to be for artists and stuff.
So give them kind of the basics.
If they like it, they can go read your description.
You say, look, I've got a Gitcoin round.
Actually, I don't in this time, but I did just for me personally.
I was invited to have one.
But, yeah, you know, so, you know, that's why these spaces are very educational, motivational.
You know, in my spaces, I work with a lot of NFT artists, and I've been talking about
Regina Finance every time on my spaces.
And some artists are coming to our spaces now which is what we need we have to
onboard more average people who don't really understand what regenerative finance is doing
how needed it is and how many amazing projects that we have from around the world that are doing it
That's great.
that's great
Yeah, so, you know, X spaces, you know, you really can learn a lot in a lot of different subjects.
I mean, I've been on way too many spaces for, you know, over three years now.
And everything from Bitcoin Maxi to mental wellness.
There's a lot of mental wellness spaces, which is needed.
There's a lot of people that are struggling financially. And I talk about finances, both micro and macro sometimes,
but mainly micro to help people understand their relationship with money.
And kind of talk a little bit about the law of attraction
and positive belief systems and thoughts and taking small actions to help change your life.
That's impressive, impressive.
Yeah, well, I'm six years old and I've literally only worked three out of the last 25 years.
I'm six years old and I've literally only worked three out of the last 25 years.
Other than that, I, I learned, I research, I promote, and I helped fund our solutions.
I mean, I live, eat, and sleep, sustainability, and regenerative finance.
That's just basically my whole life.
And that's why I'm, you know, creating a refi hub here and want to create a refi hub online
to help onboard new projects, support current projects, and teach them whatever they want and learn from them.
I believe that you can learn something new every day, and that's part of my goal.
Yeah. yeah
well I'm happy to be here yeah so it's time to it's time humans take control so So what's the humanity project all about? You say come again, sorry.
I didn't.
Yeah, I was just looking at your profile and I see your pin tweet.
It's time humans take control.
What is this that is trending?
And then you got at humanity P R O T.
Okay. is trending and then you got at humanity PROT okay actually the projects like building its own protocol based on home humanity like you having in charge of
your own protocol setting your own I like to sit, setting your own standard
based on what you want, you know,
and you'll assess it based on the kind of goals
you have for the project, you understand?
So like now you have a, I said,
where you can just go to eat without interfere of any
other person so that's all what about money to broker protocol is you just um
get us a like doing things are like a woman based on a woman stops okay cool
yeah I just retweeted that as well you know the big
fan of supporting other projects and other people that are doing good and
supporting their art as well I've worked with thousands of artists and learned and
seen their art or heard their art and bought a couple hundred thousand dollars worth of nfts over the last three years so
yeah
so you're from russia then you live in russia now
hey matthew yes do you have an alternate device that you can log into the let's grow
account from um i would have to get on my computer to do that or so who yeah who's the let's grow are you in let's grow right now let's grow but
i'm on a wi-fi and we have no pc backup right now but the other option since you have delegate
access to let's grow now is i can drop you down from grow host and then you can come in under the
lgd account and talk from there.
Okay, yeah.
Do I need to know any password or anything?
No, it should just be, so like if you logged in now, right,
if you just go into your profile,
and then at the top, you're on mobile, yeah?
Yeah, I'm on mobile right now. So at the top, you should see the Let's Grow DAO icon.
Okay, I might go to my...
Like next to your profile.
Or you might go under the three-dot menu
to see what accounts you're logged in under.
But because you have delegate access, it should auto-populate.
Yeah, I know I had delegate.
But then I think they... I don't know if they took that away or if I still have it.
I just gave it back to you.
Okay.
Or, all right.
Wait, wait, we got Zendee Jen coming up.
Maybe she can pitch in.
Zendee Jen.
I'm still on it.
Oh, you are?
Yeah, I didn't close the browser. I just'm still on it. So I didn't shut it down.
Yeah, I didn't close the browser.
I just texted you about it.
I didn't close the browser yet.
But I'm going to have to.
You're going to have to when?
Like as soon as you have somebody backing you.
Well, that's what we're trying to figure out right now. Yeah.
I just wanted to know I was still on it.
Yeah, but we're making the switch right now because i'm getting ready to leave
okay cool okay so i'll drop down go to listener and then see if i can figure out how to to do this
if not i'll get on my computer and do it from there okay and then just flash me emoji when you're in the account.
And hopefully you exited correctly.
So we're going to test this then, Dejan.
I'm going to send your grow host, but you can
decline it. Just let me know if you got it.
I got it.
Okay.
I'll cancel it on this one.
Okay.
So that verifies we still have the two slots.
Yay.
And we're waiting on Edward to come up here.
Edward.
Edward. Edward.
Green Planet Conservation Initiative.
Come up to the stage, please.
Edward, Edward, Edward.
Edward, Edward, Edward.
This is Edward from Green Planet from Nigeria.
And I'm returning back today on the same platform.
Let's grow live.
This is a few minutes after 5 a.m. in Nigeria time.
So I've been following the last few speakers
and getting to hear what they're talking about.
But first of all, I want to appreciate the people behind the sources of Let's Grow DAO.
I really want to appreciate what they are doing.
I really want to appreciate what they are doing.
Just a few seconds ago, I heard where you were talking about trying to switch handles and all that.
So you guys are actually doing a great work, trying to see that the platform continues, that it doesn't break down.
So I want to give it up to everyone.
That's a great job you're doing over there so uh basically uh green planet conservation initiative is uh an initiative it's a non-governmental
organization that is a championing uh environmental conservation sustainable sustainable practices, and education. And we are trying to restore the degraded ecosystem through agroforestry,
reforestation, regenerative agriculture, biodiversity protection, and climate education.
We are actually doing that in Nigeria, actually based in just Northern Nigeria. So, and we do that in schools and
communities, trying to create awareness on the right things to do just to ensure that we don't
degrade the environment. And one of the things, one of the factors that we noticed is that
there's actually a low level of awareness so and that's one of the things that actually
propelled our educational program because we wanted to see how we can drive the awareness down to the people so that they will just get to
know what actions that needs to be what should be the right actions what they need to do and what
they need not to do and um you know like uh i would um like uh the record has it that Nigeria is actually losing most of its forest to deforestation.
That's according to the United Nations report.
And if nothing is actually done to stop this, it means that we're actually going to get into problems in future so that's one of
the things that we are doing at the moment we are trying to see how we can you know raise the level
of awareness uh in terms of the deforestation that is actually going on here and uh not only that, we're also trying to see how we can plant trees to ensure that the degraded ecosystem is actually restored.
So far, it's been good.
We've been able to register our impact in our location here and people are beginning to get to know
what we are doing and they're actually embracing that initiative.
So, and we're also training, we're also training farmers in regenerative agriculture, you know, better ways to farm so that they don't get involved in harmful farming practices,
which actually could result in poor crop production.
production and uh because uh like i would always say there's a handful farming practice that is
actually part that is actually uh taking place here which we are trying to stop uh and um yeah
people are beginning to get to uh get to uh know that it's bad. And the practice is that people get to burn the land
just in preparation to farming.
And that actually affects the soil health.
And all we are trying to do is to embrace healthy farming practices
like green composting. Instead of burning the land, you can weed up the
land then use the weeds and convert it to compost, green compost. So that's part of what we are doing.
So that's a general summary of what we are doing at the moment.
And we are trying to champion this course in northern Nigeria to ensure that we embrace sustainable practices in every way.
So presently, we are in the round we are uh in the hyper start for stewards
round as a one of the community runs on igg 23 so and um though we got in a bit late uh but um
we we are actually grew uh grenating so we're actually green so we're actually getting
some grenation from people so we appreciate that and uh uh we also ensure that uh the fund receive
will actually help us to create more impact uh we have a couple of programs i will actually
planned uh planned out for the year.
But, you know, for us to achieve this program, we also need funding.
So, and I believe whatever we get from this round will help us to go a long way in achieving those programs.
So, I think that's one of the things.
That's one of the, I heard when Bonnie was talking about how does he fund his project.
So that's one of the things that the good things that GITS going provide another public good platform.
You know, they try to give you access to funding so that whatever idea you have can actually come to Lamelight. So I remember the first time we got into the E-Coin round was in GG19.
So we got introduced to the round by a friend.
So as I did, we were actually struggling. We were actually struggling in executing our in executing our pro uh projects but after the
phone and i think that gave us a lot of um a lot of um uh uh ground to to to moving properly into
uh um wolf wolf uh had always dreamt about so i once again thanks to the gitcoin community
for making that uh platform available to us and i will also welcome people that are actually
coming in also like i think matthew said said is uh is also a platform to bring in new people
is also a platform to bring in new people
that want to come and showcase whatever they are doing to the people.
Can you hear me?
Oh, yeah. I got you.
Okay.
So it's actually a great uh platform to be so um for uh for anybody that
uh who want to see more on what we do you can check out our page uh a lot of our activities are actually posted there so uh so it does uh um
that's one of the places that you can see what we are doing at the moment
dm jim yeah jim okay
Yeah.
Good night.
So I don't know if anybody has got any question for me.
OK. okay um okay um like uh i i was um talking the other time i also mentioned another area that
we're also diving into which is a plastics uh uh waste management and uh is actually a great is a thing of great concern here because of the way
you know plastics are littered down here and of course we all know the uh effects
that plastics cost and uh cost a cost to uh the environment even to, in fact, recently, I think I got talking with one of the professors in the school here in Joss,
and she actually made mention of one of the findings that actually shocked me. So it said that most of the seafood
that we're actually taking now are actually contaminated with one chemical or the other, just because of the way we dispose of waste.
You know, a lot of these waste end up in the ocean, in the sea.
And some of these waste are actually absorbed by those sea animals,
like the fishes and other living things you find in the sea.
So when we get to consume these things also, it passes from the fishes or whatever thing
that you're consuming into the human body.
And that over time could also cause health issues
so and it's actually a thing of concern because generally if we don't do anything about this it
means that you know people will continue to get to develop sicknesses that they don't know even where it's coming from.
So for people that like the seafood,
some of those things are actually getting contaminated because of the way things are being channeled.
Like in Nigeria, we have a place where we call the Niger Delta region.
So the Niger Delta region is where the oil
is found in nigeria and i i can tell you authoritatively that the major source of
living for the indigenous of those places is actually uh fishing they do a lot of fishing
because they don't even have the land so most of those places are actually surrounded by water.
Some of them even live on the water.
They build on the water and all that.
But with the coming in of those companies,
coming into the oil production line
and they started getting those waters polluted.
So, and a lot of them now can't even maintain their source of living
because those fishes are actually dying.
You can imagine where you have oil spillage oil spillage on the
water and all that so you know they they it affects the uh it affects the the things that
are living in the city there so it's is actually a thing of concern so the the issue of that waste
you know getting to end up in places that they are not supposed
to is one major thing that we also need to look into because it's becoming a thing of
a serious concern.
I don't know, but this is the situation that we have here.
I don't know about other areas, other regions and all that.
So this is a practical situation that we have here I don't know about that areas other regions and all that so but this is a practical situation that we have here
you have any questions Matthew hello or did you have something else yeah it was
good for me and will I think I'm in let's grow live i wasn't able to do it on my
phone but uh i'm on my laptop now so and you're in the lgd account yeah let me just go to okay
profile yeah yeah i am i am now and you're in the space i'm in the space on my phone
but i mean you're in the let's grow dow account space on your laptop on my laptop i am
so you're hosting the session i am hosting the session on your laptop on my laptop okay i'll
give it uh 10 minutes to get a good handshake and then i'll log off okay sounds good all right
Okay, sounds good.
All right.
Paul Gies.
Hi, Matthew.
Oh, there you go.
Hello, Laszlo.
How are you doing, Laszlo?
Brian McAprison here, so he's already awake, so I had to get up too.
Did you guys have any questions for Edward in Green Planet Conservation?
No, but I wanted to add something.
I believe all these spreadsheets that we have on planet Earth,
you know, we will really can solve actually pretty fast, pretty soon.
I'm still very, very positive that all this technology and AI and super thinking
and you know what's going on, I'm still staying positive.
That's all I really wanted to say to his, what I heard from him.
So, it's going to keep growing.
It's going to go there.
And a big thank you, of course.
Definitely.
Is there anything new, Edward, in your world?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah. Yeah. Not in the moment. Like I told you, last time we came in, we were just looking out to organize an event in the next few months,
a major community event where we hope to reach out
to a good number of our communities
and we'll also take our tree planting activities to there
while we'll also carry out our educational program
for them to get to understand what we're doing.
The reason why we'll need to preserve the environment.
So that's one of the major programs we are planning at the moment.
And that program most likely's going to be in another
different community altogether
so that's one of the things that we are looking
at at the moment
we are actually planning
towards that so
that's what we are doing currently
so you're saying you're playing in music and live event right is that what you said
and also bring up some information about what you're doing i think
okay i think i didn't get to
hello yeah i'm still listening
okay i said i didn't get i didn't get the question right i said Hello? Yeah, I'm still listening.
Okay, I said I didn't get the question right.
I said, did you just hear you're doing an event and you're going to make music and stuff
like this and also bring up the information you want to have to tell the people?
Okay, basically what we do is that we are promoting
environmental conservation and sustainable practices so we're actually doing that through
our climate education reforestation agroforestry and regenerative agriculture. So we are trying to see how we can restore a degraded ecosystem here.
And we do that in communities and in schools.
So basically what I was actually talking about is another event
that we are planning to host, which has to do with a community. We want to reach out to a larger population.
We want to see how we can reach out to a community,
then teach them, carry out our educational program there,
then also do tree planting for them.
So that's the event that I was actually talking
about so one will see how we can teach them on climate education then also
plants trees we teach them how to plant trees and the good thing now is that
the trees that we are planting currently, we are actually using DMRV.
That's a digital measurement reporting and verification.
And we are making use of that of SILV protocol.
So that's a good part.
So that was what I was actually talking about,
the events that we're actually trying to organize.
So you're going to have to tell me more about this event, please.
And I think, I mean, you have to,
just for what I believe could actually be good,
that when it comes to words like,
yeah, that I don't remember because they
are so long and so complex that they are not understandable if you are telling
me that you're here for planting trees and doing good and using maybe some
technology but you should bring that word in a different kind because I'm not
detecting it and I don't know so much but I would love to understand
oh okay okay okay okay okay um just to give you an idea we had an event that we organized sometime That was done in the Hoshi community in Nigeria.
The program had different activities for the program.
a guest speaker from the federal college of forestry that came to talk about
the climate change the importance of tree planting what we need to do to preserve our environment
that's in the person of dr walter so and we also had a team from that same Federal College of Forestry that came to assist in the tree planting, planting exercise.
And we had varieties of trees also that was also planted in that event, different species of trees
to ensure good carbon sequestration. Then we also had community leaders in attendance,
which we see as influencers because there are some people, there are some leaders that are influencers in the community.
So we invited some of them that came and spoke in the location so that what we are trying to do,
what we are trying to do, what we tried to do was to ensure that we drove the message home
so that people get to understand the importance of what we are doing. And at the end of the day,
we also even had schools also participating in that program.
The amazing thing is that the program had over a thousand people in attendance.
At the end of the day, we also shared some tree seedlings to the participants though it didn't go around because the turnout of the program
who ended up we're looking at 500 but at the end of the day we ended up having over a thousand so
we couldn't distribute the trees round so that's to just give you an idea of how the event goes how
an idea of how the event goes, the kind of event I'm talking about.
So we invite different participants, different people, even the traditional rulers from the community had to be in attendance because they represented the leadership of the
community. So we had different people. We also had two people from the government that came for
that location. So that will give you an idea of the kind of program, the kind of events I'm talking about. So for this one now, we are actually looking at something bigger
because the last one, we learned some lessons from the last one.
So if we are planning this time around, we'll have to make provision
to accommodate more number of people this time around.
So that's an idea of what we're doing.
The program is still at the planning stage.
So we are still working to perfect everything.
I remember when I went to school, we actually planted
a tree that was pretty much everywhere from our classes back then.
I think I'm old, too old maybe.
Anyhow, that's very awesome, I like that idea.
Did you ever think about actually maybe creating some game and use it to get your campaign or actually maybe also do the tree planting by themselves
to the people you know by rewarding them and having a gamified app and some cool tokenizations Yeah, we also have that in mind, trying to incentivize people for planting trees.
But at the moment, because of the resources we have now, we're actually doing it stage by stage.
What we are doing now is that we'll try to...
Because people are actually embracing
what we are doing at the moment.
So they even come to us to give them
three seedlings and all that.
So it means that they are becoming aware
and wants to be part of it.
So for the area of incentivizing,
we are still working towards that
because we need to have a perfect plan in place
before we can start incentivizing people.
Then the only thing we are doing at the moment
is to raise three ambassadors in any location that we'll get to.
So we, because we talk about developing some kind of game and all that.
And the other thing, again, that we try to do is that we try to encourage the schools
like a particular place where we went for a tree planting one of the things that they
mentioned is that they said they needed a barricade to surround the the tree the planted tree
and the to prevent to prevent the tree from because actually it was actually in a school
so to to prevent uh people from uh um uh uh destroying the the tree so and uh we quickly
obliged to that because i felt that's uh actually a request in the right direction because it has to do with the preservation of the tree.
So we're actually obliged to that
and we started a discussion.
So we try to encourage them in any way we can.
You understand?
That was what they said we needed to do for them.
We do a barricade,
do something like a barricade for the tree while it is still
young as it grows they can remove it but while it's still tender they wouldn't want people to
come close to that and uh step on it or have one form of um uh have one form of contact with it that will not be a good one.
So those are the kind of things that we do to motivate them
for now.
So in the future, we hope to go into that area
of incentivizing people while they do the tree planting.
That's awesome.
