Full Transcription
Yo, yo, yo, good morning, happy Friday everyone, hope everyone had a fantastic week, it's cold out here in Atlanta, brrrr, we're supposed to be having a cold front coming through but it's all good, I see I got my strap fam in the house, I'm gonna throw you guys a mic, thanks for tapping in.
I'm just waiting for the Michelin team to get in here, I'm actually in the discord with them, they're finishing up a couple of things, hey we got New America in the house as well, happy Friday everyone, welcome, welcome, welcome, it's the network to get work, that's what I do, that's the narrative that I've been pushing out in Web3 over the last nearly two years, bringing people and projects together from all over the world,
so that we can all experience a pleasant journey in Web3 because it does get crazy out there sometimes, but Shrapnel, welcome man, what's going on with you?
Yo, Martek, thank you so much for the invite, brother, I'm so excited actually, personally, for this guest in this panel today, Michelin in Web3, that is so cool, they've got their own NFT project, what's new with Shrapnel, we're cooking so much cool stuff, we've got Shrapnight going on right now, which is our Shrapnel Fortnite map, we got early access, getting even...
Oh shit, I fat-fingered you bro, I fat-fingered you, my bad, my bad, I fat-fingered you, my apologies, damn, what are your fat-fingered shrapnel, you crazy? My bad bro, keep going.
Nah, that was basically it brother, happy to be here.
Yeah, man, hey, I'm glad that you guys can tap in, and yeah, we've got to organize that update space and the back channels and all that kind of stuff, yeah, yeah, you know, just great stuff going on, man, I'm actually overwhelmed, like, you know, having the opportunity to work with, like, you know, fantastic organizations like yourself and all that kind of stuff.
Let me jump back in the Discord, my apologies, guys, but, like, you know, Michelin and, like, you know, their hierarchy and whatever they're doing over there, let me see if I can raise them up, jump in this Discord here, but, like, yeah, again, hope everyone's having a fantastic Friday.
I see we've got New America in the house as well, what's going on with you today, New America, how's it going?
Hey, Martek, good morning, good afternoon, good evening, regardless of where you are in the world.
Happy 2024, I'm still screaming that.
I'm super excited to hear about Michelin.
I see Shrap's in the building, what's up, Shrap?
No, super excited for Shrap night, man, and everything you guys are doing.
It's super awesome for Web3, and, yeah, man, I'm super excited to be here, doing some things in the background, but definitely wouldn't miss this space for the world, man.
Good stuff, man, good stuff, and, like, you know, I guess if anyone's going to keep you waiting and, like,
like, you don't mind, it's got to be Michelin, right?
Like, 22 billion plus IRL, pretty crazy.
I see I've got my man Azale down there.
Aaron, I've got to bring Aaron up, man.
Like, yo, look, I mean, Michelin hasn't even showed up, but look at all the heavy hitters in this space already, man.
We've got Aaron from Aura Exchange, and if you don't know about Aura Exchange, great marketplace that has launched on the Ethereum network.
They are actually an aggregator, so they do go across multiple blockchains and all that stuff, bringing some crazy, crazy, crazy value to Web3 and also giving back.
I'm trying to raise these guys from the dead.
Let's see.
Where's FOMO, boys?
Not in the houses yet.
Hmm.
Not even embarrassing, because already we've got some great people in the house already, man.
I see we've got Thy Rev in the house.
We've got Unify in the house as well.
What's going on, Unify?
We've got, man, it's like all these projects.
I've got spaces coming up in the near future.
So, again, MarTech Networks, we're bringing some serious, extreme value to Web3 by bringing people and projects together, and we're taking that, like, you know, that positive narrative.
Do you know what I mean?
We're all entrepreneurs in the space, and, like, you know, we're all trying to accomplish things that, like, you know, we're actually making history here.
So, like, you know, again, I always say, if we are going to use our time here in Web3, let's make sure that we're putting it towards things that bring value, lift up, and inspire everybody else that is taking this journey with us, everybody else that we can't see down in this dark, flipping rabbit hole.
I haven't seen daylight since I jumped down this rabbit hole, like, a couple years ago, and I'm pretty sure the same rings for you guys.
Aaron, how's it going, mate?
Yeah, GM, GM, brother.
Good to hear you.
Oh, shit.
Now, Henry's saying Elon won't let him in.
That's kind of crazy.
Come on, Uncle Elon.
Let the guy...
You have the link.
And that's interesting because, hey, Shrapnel, remember the last time that we jumped open that space?
Nobody could actually get into the space that we were having with Shrapnel a few weeks ago.
We had to open up a whole new space.
So, I don't know what's going on.
And I think, you know, I always say, like, when you're doing some really good stuff that's inspiring and lifting up, uplifting, I should say, there's always something that happens.
He said, account issues, not just you.
Do you have the link?
Okay.
Well, you know, we're going to keep going.
But, like, yo, we've got some haters in the house.
So, what's going on, Aaron?
How are you doing?
What's the time over there in Australia?
Just past 2.30 a.m. for me.
So, pretty close to calling it a night.
Right, right, right, right.
Okay.
Excellent stuff, man.
Excellent stuff.
And you were telling me about the space and I thought I'd hang out and just catch the start of it and say hello.
Man, I definitely appreciate you coming in.
Again, Aura Exchange in the house.
We've got Shrapnel in the house.
New America.
NFT in the house.
Unify.
And a whole bunch of dope projects.
Man, I think they actually probably shared the wrong link.
So, let me do this.
Think you guys shared a bad link.
The space is full.
Man, that's the thing with light.
Oh, there you go.
I see Mitch Lin.
Man, who's this rocking?
Oh, here they are.
Oh, I was about to start cursing like Mitch Lin, like blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
But we've got Mitch Lin coming up.
Our guest of honor today on the network to get work.
They are in the house.
Find the right link.
It's a good thing that I'm good at ad-libbing like shit.
Otherwise, you guys would be like, hey, what's Martek doing?
He doesn't even know what to say.
He's quiet.
Why is he so quiet?
Yo, bro.
How are you?
Is that T.O.?
Is that T.T.?
Yeah, can you hear me, bro?
Yo, everything's good, man.
Everything's good.
We were just going through a couple of little technical difficulties and all that kind of
stuff.
But you know what?
I've done this a couple of times, so like, you know, just wanted to make sure that the
audience was comfortable and they're having a good Friday.
I just threw you that co-host link, T.T.
So I guess we're waiting for FOMO, boys.
And FOMO might have the wrong link as well.
I think he's coming.
I was in the meeting with him like just before.
So, OK, excellent, excellent.
And like, you know, if you look up on the panel here, T.O., we've also got shrapnel in
the house.
So I'd like to introduce Michelin Explorer.
Meet shrapnel.
They're doing some big things in Web3 also.
So like, yo, we have got two powerhouses up here on the stage.
Web3 has not seen anything like this.
And you are seeing it here today.
Martek Effect Network to Get Work.
But Michelin Free Explore is our featured guest today.
They're going to be giving us some updates.
And later on, we're going to do like a little bit of a Q&A.
So if there's anyone that's down there in the listeners gallery that would like to come
up and, you know, ask any questions to Michelin, not a problem.
But I will stress, you guys know, if you're familiar with me, you know how I run my spaces.
There will be absolutely no FUD tolerated in here.
There will be absolutely no disrespect tolerated in here because I will boot you and I won't
feel a way.
Because again, this Web3 journey that we're on, I'm pretty sure that, you know, we've
all experienced some like, you know, negative stuff, been in spaces that like, you know,
the narrative is just way off base.
But we are here to bring value to Web3.
We've got a major corporation that has entered into Web3 and they've done it the right way.
The mint.
Oh, here comes FOMO.
Here comes my guy FOMO.
The mint was, goodness, maybe just over 60 days ago.
The mint price was 0.05.
We've hit an all-time high of over 0.3 on the floor.
FOMO.
What's going on?
Yo, yo, yo.
How are you doing, boss?
I'm good.
How are you, bro?
I'm great, man.
I'm great.
I was just saying, like, you know, if anyone's going to be late and you're actually like,
you know, don't feel aware about it, it's going to be Michelin.
So let's go, man.
What's good?
You guys kick it off.
I'm always late.
Big brains in the house, like, hold tight, everyone.
You're going to get some information.
And again, it's Michelin.
So, like, oh, where's their road, man?
Are they still going to be here?
They've already been around for 100 years.
Go outside and look on your motor.
Look on your car.
You're probably rocking some Michelin tires.
But, like, hey, guys, over to you, FOMO boys, Michelin Free Explore.
Hold tight, guys.
This is going to be a banger.
So let's go, man.
Yo, yo, yo.
Hello, everyone.
So what I'm supposed to do right now?
Just, like, talk about Michelin?
Man, you can do whatever you want.
Michelin can do whatever they want, yo.
Like, you know, actually, like, yeah, just give everyone in the space a little bit of
the backstory, how Michelin came into Web3, where it started, where it's going.
And, you know, I'm pretty sure that TT can, like, you know, let us know some of the inspiration
behind actually starting the project and all that kind of stuff.
And some updates.
Guys, I want to stress, IRL Utility was rolled out day dot, day one.
Day one.
Utility.
I mean, use case.
Not even utility, but use case has been rolled out since day one.
So I'm geeked.
Like, you know, I know a little bit more than you guys, but still, yeah, FOMO, if you want
to, like, kick it off, man, that would be great.
For sure.
For sure.
I think the best is, Theo, you're with us.
Yeah, bro.
So maybe the best is to, is for you to give them a quick intro about, like, how you launched
the project internally at Michelin, because I think that's super interesting and I would
take over after.
Yeah, sure.
Even I need to go to a meeting at 30, so that's perfect.
I will give you the mic just after.
So, yeah, everything started at Michelin with basically an idea, because we had an interest
for all around innovation, basically innovation.
It's at the heart of Michelin DNA.
We innovated in a lot of stuff during our history, and we really wanted to discover what
we have to do with Web3, which is kind of a new world.
So, we really wanted to understand the space to be sure that we can meet the expectations
of the Web3 people and stuff like that.
So, to start the project, we have internally at Michelin kind of an innovation contest.
We participate, too, with the idea of launching Michelin into Web3, but we didn't know exactly
what we wanted to do.
And during the contest, we matured our idea, and we arrived with the Michelin Explorer Club
concept.
The goal was really to have a community-driven project to discover Web3 with the community
and to make the community discover more Michelin.
This is why we wanted to share with our others unique experiences.
We already had some, and there is an experience at the moment, right now, for this weekend.
And then, we presented the project to different people until the top management, and it was
validated to launch this first NFT collection for Michelin.
around three main aspects.
The first one is, of course, the Michelin Man.
It's iconic, but we really wanted to reinvent the Michelin Man as we've never seen before.
So, we have 2,400 Michelin Man, which are unique, with different accessories, different traits,
some from partners, such as GU, of course.
And we wanted also to share, as I said, unique experiences around it, and to be able to build
together the future of Michelin.
So, we are really expecting the community to give their feedback, to be transparent with
us for what they like, what they would like to have, and stuff like that.
And we will try to deploy these ideas, of course.
So, we are really happy about the community we have, because we have a strong community.
People are really...
It's the best.
Yeah, of course.
But I didn't want to say it too early in this space.
FOMO, I let you the opportunity to say that we have the best community, because it's amazing.
Since day one, we have so much support, so much love for Michelin, but also for other
people in the community.
This is really what we want to build, a community of lovers of motorsports, food, the Michelin
man, and stuff like that.
That's really amazing, all we have around this community.
And it was really our goal at the beginning.
It was not just to sell an NFT collection or stuff like that.
It was really to create this community, the first Michelin work-free community.
And this is what we succeeded to do.
And I'm really happy to keep it, to have it, to be with one of our major ambassadors,
in the community, more tech.
So happy to have you, my friend, with us.
And to see also...
My pleasure, man.
My pleasure.
You don't know.
I'm actually nearly close to tears, man.
Look at this stage.
Look around the room.
So many people just bringing value and pioneering the space, man.
I'm glad to be here.
Let me shut up.
No, bro.
You are doing a huge thing.
You are bringing Michelin and Trapnel and a lot of big, famous people here.
So it's huge.
Yeah, that's amazing.
And in terms of experiences, of course, what we really wanted to do when we built the project
is to be able to deliver value for our holders since the beginning.
So this is why we had in mind already, when we launched the project, what will be the first raffles and stuff like that.
So we had people in Clermont-Ferrand for Michelin Days, discover the Michelin factory where we built by hand the motorsport tires, for example,
visiting our innovation center.
We had people coming with us as VIP guests for the last MotoGP of the year in Valencia in Spain.
We had invitations for Michelin restaurants.
And today and tomorrow we have some holders that came also into Clermont-Ferrand to discover the behind the scenes of the Michelin museum where we have all our pieces that cannot be seen by the public.
So it's really something exclusive to see all we have because it's a very huge place.
We had also a visit of one, how to say it, we tested our tires before in different slopes in the city.
It will be modified in a few years so no people can access it, but we make it accessible for our holders to visit it, how we tested the tires before and stuff like that.
They will also have a private visit of the Michelin museum tomorrow morning, which is not accessible normally at this time.
And they will be able to see the rugby game of the rugby team of Clermont-Ferrand, which will play tomorrow afternoon in European Cup against the Scarlet.
So they will be invited in Lodge with Margot and Julie, which are taking care of this kind of experiences.
So that's really a pleasure at each time.
Unfortunately, I cannot be with them today and tomorrow, but it's always a pleasure to meet the community, to meet the members, to discuss with you guys.
It was amazing in Valencia, the memories that I have.
And for me, it's like that, the Mission Explorer Club, is to enjoy moments together, to be able to have an amazing community and to share memories with all of you guys.
And of course, what we want to build is also a vision for 2024, for the whole year, to have something sustainable, to continue to deliver value, of course, for our holders, and to see what we can do in addition to the raffle to bring value to our holders.
So we are working on a lot of people, so we are working on a lot of stuff, from who can talk about it just after.
But thank you so much, Martek, for your support in the beginning.
So happy to be with you today and to be with you at every time, at every AMA.
It's such important for us to have a support like you.
So thank you very much, my friend.
My absolute pleasure.
My absolute pleasure.
And the thing is, my intentions was clear from the day that I got into Web3.
Bring people and projects together.
Share the knowledge.
You know, share the knowledge.
Lift up everybody in Web3.
I mean, for me, it's not about how many people are in here.
That's not the focus.
The right people are in here.
The right people will receive the message.
Again, you don't have to follow the crowd.
You don't have to follow the biggest space.
You don't have to follow the biggest influencer because you may not get the information that you seek.
But, like, again, look at me, a small account.
And I've been grinding, grinding, grinding.
That's led me to these great relationships.
So thank you.
Thank you, Michelin, for giving me the opportunity as a small guy.
And I've always said that as well.
Like, lift up the small guy.
Give the small guy the opportunity.
And I think because I've put that energy out there into the universe, that's why I'm presented with this opportunity right now.
Again, extremely humbling.
Look up top here, guys.
We're probably looking at the two biggest powerhouses in Web3 right now.
Like, seriously.
Like, you know, it's amazing.
I'm honoured to be able to introduce Michelin to Shrapnel.
Shrapnel's got some crazy stuff coming in for the future.
And, again, we're going to have a space dropping with some updates on that.
But, like, let's get back over to FOMO, boys.
Oh, you got any help for us today, FOMO?
Oh, bro, I wish.
I wish.
I wish.
But you know me.
I cannot talk right now because, you know, we're waiting for the validation on the vision.
But, hey, bro, Theo, like, you don't need me anymore in Spaces, bro.
You're doing perfect.
I always need you, bro.
Oh, that's beautiful.
No, no, but definitely, I mean, like, to be honest, Theo talked, like, about pretty much everything around the project.
But if I can add to it, I think that it's important to mention that you guys can hear me, right?
Yes, sir.
Okay, perfect.
I think it's important to mention that, you know, when Theo is talking about visiting Michelin, visiting the Michelin Museum and all that, you have to see it as Michelin is 134 years old.
Correct, Theo?
Yeah, that's it.
Yeah, so it's, like, literally history.
And so probably the Michelin Museum is probably, like, one of the oldest museums we can find, you know, so it's something pretty crazy.
But also, since we launched the project about, I don't know, it was maybe two or three months ago, we have had more than 350 winners on raffles.
So it means that, you know, straight from the start, we started, like, unrolling, you know, our utilities, benefits, experiences, and all that.
We've also done a free claim from, like, some historical posters that we found in Michelin archives that we've digitalized and that we've offered to our community.
So a lot of our holders literally printed them, like, as real posters, and the oldest one is, like, from 1887.
So we are really, like, trying to bring value to our community.
I think it's a bit different than a lot of projects because Michelin is not here, you know, trying to generate revenue.
They are here really more, like, trying to build a community and share their experiences and the whole ecosystem they are in, you know.
So everything related to motorsport, fine dining, hospitality, all that, tires, of course.
But so we do have a lot of things coming up.
What happened since the Mint was literally just what we have planned before the Mint, but our 24 vision that is coming is going to be epic.
I think we have to think about a lot of different mechanisms and a lot of new things to implement in the projects for the community.
And so the goal is really, one, to be able to reach out to everyone in our community, whatever your location, whatever the country you are in.
The goal is to be able to have some sort of experience and benefits wherever you are, whatever age you have.
Because at the end, like, the utility and experiences we provide are pretty much for everyone.
Because if you're in Michelin project and you like fine dining or you are a foodie, then you will be happy.
If you like motorsport, like cars or motorbike or anything, like, you will be happy.
And if you just like to travel and experience nice things, I think you will also be happy.
So I think it's literally a project for the people, you know, and we also, and I think Martek, you know that because you are part of the community since the beginning.
But me and my team and Michelin were really listening to our community.
So a lot of time we are doing votes when we're not sure of the direction or not sure of if it's a good idea or not.
You know, we literally ask the community and they can vote on our decision or vote on some things.
So the goal for us is really to be close to the community, to listen to your feedback, your suggestion, your ideas.
And I think you saw Martek, but we've done a lot of things that were not planned.
And just because the community talks about it or, you know, every week I just go over the different ideas from people.
And I'm just like, okay, this is not doable.
This is really cool.
Let us explore, you know.
So in 2024, I cannot give alphas because I need Michelin validation.
But for everyone here, we've met like the top management at Michelin, me and my team.
We literally showed them a 64-page deck for the 2024 vision.
So probably in the next three weeks or so, we should have confirmation.
And then after that, we will release our new vision.
So expect this because it's going to make a lot of noise in the space, I think.
And what's crazy, I see that you guys released a link to us in the community so that we could tour the 3D Museum.
Tell us a little bit about that, man.
Because I haven't actually got into it yet, but it actually looks like a metaverse.
It's crazy.
So are we talking about maybe some metaverse play in the future or something like that?
Here I go.
So I'm digging again, just like in Discord.
I'm looking for those alphas.
But yeah, that is really amazing.
It's like, you know, really an amazing experience and all that kind of stuff.
Can you tell us a little bit about that, FOMO?
So for the Digital Museum, if you're still with us, you know probably more than me.
That will be my last words because I need to go after.
Basically, for the moment, it's not kind of a metaverse.
It's more a digital representation of the existing Michelin Museum.
So you will be able to visit the different rooms we have with the different content and stuff like that.
This is also exclusive and this is only the first step to digitalize our museum because for the moment, it's only available for two kinds of people, for Michelin employees and for our NFT holders.
It's not something that is available for anyone else.
And the goal is also to move forward with this experience to create new things.
And we are thinking about digital environment, maybe kind of a metaverse for this museum and for much more things.
But that's a very good question.
For the moment, it's not kind of a metaverse.
It's more a way to bring the museum for everyone in the world without being in Clermont-Ferrand.
But we are thinking about how we can go deeper into it and to create a real immersive experience.
This is also why we involve our NFT holders to have kind of a beta testing of this digital museum, is to have feedback, to see what we can improve and stuff like that.
This is always what we want, like the voice is really free and open in our community.
And the goal is to have the feedback of the community on everything we share with them.
And this is also the goal with this digital museum visit.
Amazing, amazing.
I just got a sneak peek.
I got a sneak peek.
No, I got a sneak peek of it.
And it looks like, I mean, goodness.
And that's what we're here for.
We're here for value.
Like, you know, substance over hype.
It's not something that's on the roadmap.
It's in existence already.
Like, you know, and I've been putting it out there.
I've been pushing this narrative.
Proof of work is the alpha in 2024.
Like, you know, we've all been through the experiences, believing in these roadmaps that, like, lead to nowhere.
And, like, you know, the training wheels are off for a lot of us.
And we want to make sure that we pave the way as we edge closer to mass adoption that and educate the people that are coming into the space, the things that they should be looking out for.
Do you know what I mean?
Hey, I'm not disrespecting anybody.
The DJ life can be great.
But I'm here to obtain value.
You know, I'm here to, like, every time I leave a space, I want to come out wiser and smarter than I was before.
You know, I say, as I put out a post this week, you are the sum of your affiliations.
So if you are affiliating with individuals that are operating at the highest level, that will encourage you to operate at the highest level also.
Do you know what I mean?
But, like, hey, I see that we've got a couple of speakers up here.
We've got Unify.
Have you got any questions before Michelin taps out?
FOMO may be here for a little while.
No, I'm here.
I'm here.
And I'm thinking, like, I was letting Theo speak.
So I could think about if I can drop some alphas and I think I can drop some.
So we'll let time fly and then I will drop some after.
Yo, it's hilarious.
We have so much fun.
And I'm sorry I missed the Discord meeting yesterday.
I was kind of, like, wrapped up with some stuff.
You're good, bro.
You know, and all that kind of stuff.
It was a short one.
It was a short one.
Well, if I was there, you know, it would have been a long one.
We would have been cracking up.
I know, I know.
It's always fantastic.
Like, you know, the community has come together and been so cohesive, like, you know, in such
a short space of time.
But, like, you know, as I said in the mint party, you can mint with confidence.
Like, you know, how many times have we had that feeling where, like, you know what, I
can actually get into this project and set it and forget it because I know that they're
not going anywhere.
And, like, again, you know, the reason why you have the ability to feel like that is look
at the pedigree of the project or the business, the company that you're about to deal with.
This is what we're here for in Web3, people.
Zoom out.
Don't follow the crowd.
Don't follow the popular thing.
Look for value.
Look for value.
I'm going to, I'm going to, I'll say that a million times.
Look for value.
You know, some of your affiliations.
And I think I've kicked off 2024 by showing you guys, like, you know, what you've got
coming from, not only Martech networks, but what's coming from, like, you know, these
iconic projects that are up here as well.
So, like, yeah, keep going, FOMO.
What's up?
No, I said keep going, bro.
And this is how it is.
No, no, no, no.
We're just hanging out.
It's nothing formal.
Like, it's not an AMA.
I haven't been sent questions, key questions to ask.
No, you're good, you're good.
You know what I mean?
But again, I'm just showing everybody, this is what is real in Web3, you know, because
a lot of AMAs that you go to is curated, okay?
The space host has been sent a specific set of questions to ask.
What I like to do is like, hey, if you're in the audience and you want to ask the project
any questions, you have the power to do that.
I don't know what questions you may have on your mind.
This is very true, bro.
So, take the opportunity and repost the room.
Let's get some more people in here.
For sure.
How much more time you got?
About 30 minutes, FOMO?
Yeah, I'm careful.
Don't worry about me.
I'm here.
Okay.
It's all good, man.
What you're saying is very true.
Most of the spaces are, you know, just like biased in a way that either you pay for it,
either like, you know, the dude and usually you send questions and things like that.
And, you know, it's rare to find some real and legit and, you know, genuine space.
But, I mean, you're a genuine adept, so it makes sense.
So, you should, you know, you guys should just stay with more tech because he is someone
of high value in the space.
Like, yo, man, hey, you know what?
I've been grinding, man.
I've been grinding.
This isn't happenstance.
And, by the way, everybody...
But you do you.
That's what is working, you know?
And I want everyone to know, this isn't a paid space.
I'm not being paid to shill this.
I'm a community member that showed up and I said, you know what?
Let me present to these guys what my value proposition is.
Let me bring value to the community.
Do you know what I'm saying?
No, you've been here, like, you've been here supporting and helping since the very beginning.
I mean, for those who don't know the story about how we met MarTech, it was during our
live mint Twitter space.
And it was about 600 people and I was, like, speaking.
But we had some, like, small technical issues.
But at the same time, I was trying to manage, like, the...
My Siri got activated.
But so, MarTech just jumped, you know, in the space and helped me.
It was, like, co-hosting out of nowhere, you know?
And it was, like, huge, huge help, you know?
So, since then, it stayed with us.
And it's, like, a good love story, you know?
Hey, that's it, man.
And I always emphasize to individuals, jump into different spaces, like, you know, meet
individuals.
You never know who you're going to meet.
But shrapnel, you got your...
I need to play a trumpet.
Shrapnel, you got your hand up.
What's going on?
Bro, MarTech, I just wanted to give you your flowers because exactly what you're saying.
So many spaces, hosts, and influencers out there are really just paid for their opinion.
But you keep it real all the time.
And if you guys are looking for value in the space, look no further than right here with
MarTech Nickwork to get work.
Not financial advice, guys.
But seriously, MarTech put you guys on this at the mint, 0.05 ETH.
And it's now 0.3 ETH.
Not financial advice, guys.
I love Michelin.
And I'm honestly going to go check out the collection and do a little shopping.
You can get one now for less than I think I put my last set of tires on my car.
But anyway, if you're looking for the real value for projects that MarTech actually believes
in, right?
He's not just getting a paycheck from this shit.
Right here.
He's going to put you on early.
He's going to put you on projects that he believes in.
So just wanted to shout you out, MarTech.
And then a question I actually have for Michelin and FOMO.
How do we get a Michelin man inside of a shrapnel mask?
Oh, shit.
Oh, my God.
Oh, I'm falling out of the chair.
What is going on here in Web3?
This is insane.
Mind is blown.
Michelin and shrapnel.
Let's fucking go.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, you know, that's a dream.
But hey, by the way, congratulations on your mint.
I wasn't in.
Didn't make it because don't have the time to grind and all.
But, you know, congrats.
Huge, huge performance.
So, congratulations on this.
As for the Michelin in shrapnel, you know, for me, it would be like 100% we go.
But Theo, I think, will say that, you know, Michelin has a lot of restrictions, you know,
I would say about the use of the IP and the use of the Michelin man and all that.
And the only thing is, from what I know, because I'm not internal to Michelin, but Theo is and he would be able to get maybe more details on this.
They can't be represented, the Michelin man, with, like, weapons or drugs or things like that.
So, Theo, I don't know if you can talk about it.
Yeah, that's it.
If you're still here.
That's it.
Like, yeah, congrats, of course, for your mint and your project.
I would really love it.
Regarding Michelin, it's kind of complicated to associate the brand with any war, weapons, drugs, alcohol and stuff like that.
So, it could be complicated, I think.
But, yeah, you're totally right, FOMO.
I think it could be complicated.
It's kind of a dream, but I think it will stay a dream, unfortunately, for everyone.
And I'm so sorry, guys.
I have to move.
Take care of yourself, guys.
Have a nice weekend.
And Martek, just continue to be who you are.
It's so much important for us to have a support like you.
So, thank you so much for everything you did and you are doing for us.
Take care, guys.
Have a good day.
See you.
I take the watch.
What's up, T?
Appreciate you, man.
You have a great weekend.
Sending blessings to you, your family and the whole Michelin team, man.
What an honor.
What a man.
Again, I'm still gobsmacked, man.
This is amazing.
Shrap, you got your hand up and then we'll jump over to Unify.
Yes, sir.
I was just curious for FOMO, you know, if what is Michelin's approach to collaborations in terms of like, you know, how can other projects help support Michelin, lift each other up, grow together?
Are you guys?
Yes.
You know, being in Web3, obviously.
What's what's y'all approach to collaboration?
Because obviously there might be some issues with with IP crossover.
Yeah, for sure.
For sure.
So that's a really good question.
Because we take care of this.
So that's more easy to answer for me.
So in terms of partnership and collaboration since the very beginning, because I've been in the space for a while and I think I have the same mindset than Martek in a way that I think we should bring people together and bring projects together.
Because, you know, as a group, like we could be so much powerful, but it feels like in the space, it's more of a competitive thing, you know, like projects needs to be better than others.
And I think that's a bit sad to see, you know.
So with Michelin, we really don't have this vision.
What we want to build is an ecosystem.
So since the beginning, we've been building strong partnerships with a lot of established projects.
I think you can see a lot of genuine undead in the space.
And genuine was one of our first partners because I know the community is super, you know, real, I would say.
And so when we do collabs, I don't like to do just like, OK, we do a collabs, we do a white list giveaway.
We do a collab announcement and then like we never talk again.
I think this is empty, you know, but what we like to do is real partnerships.
So, for example, genuine undead, mad lads, Kojira, Dark Echelon, they all design some threats that we have in our collection.
So the Michelin man has a genuine undead jacket, for example, as a threat, you know, and it's probably the most rare and sell threat in the collection.
I think you went up like more than two ETH.
So this is like we give you the opportunity to take part in the project and put also like your brand and your, you know, image in it, because I think it's super important to create real connection.
And now we're still working.
So that's part of my alpha, by the way, that's one.
We have taken again the discussion about our partnership with One Hockey.
And so we are moving on, connecting legal teams and all that.
So I won't tell you what we're going to do, but expect something coming from GU and Michelin.
In the following months, I would say, but it's in discussion and it was part of the plan, but, you know, we just needed to take some time to settle it and now it's moving.
So expect something from us.
That's one.
One, and two, to keep answering your question, we are super open to partnership.
I like to establish partnership with other projects that have a similar vision and that are here for the good reason.
The only thing to do is to have a call and to see like how we could be in a win-win situation, usually with most partners.
Either like we exchange experiences or benefits, either like we share like communication on spaces and events.
So it can be many different things.
Michelin has a lot of possibilities in terms of partnership because right now we have done a strong partnership with MemeLand that we're also working on.
World of Women is coming also, so it's like a lot of, you know, established projects, but we just talk with the teams and see, okay, what we could do for you and your community.
What can you do for ours?
And then it's just, you know, finding the balance and moving on.
So super open.
And I was going to say, like, we got Aura Exchange in the house, as I mentioned earlier, before you guys jumped in.
The collection is actually available on Aura Exchange.
If you see Aaron, Aaron is up here in the speakers gallery.
Tap on his profile.
It might be some information where you can go to the, you know, you can go to the marketplace and like, you know, you can shop Aura Exchange.
Quick little tidbit about Aura Exchange.
There's a rewards program that actually pays back the users.
So it's not a marketplace that is taken from Web3.
It's a marketplace that is given back to Web3.
That's going to be another space eventually coming in the future.
So maybe you want to set your notifications for the Martech Network account.
We've got some great stuff coming up.
Before I go back over to Shrapnel, Unify, you had your hand up.
I can see the hair under your armpits and all that kind of stuff.
What's going on with you today, Unify?
Yes, yes, King.
First and foremost, thank you so much for hosting this space and getting this up here.
And, I mean, what an exciting space this is to see the likes of Michelin coming into Web3.
And to see you ushering them in like you have is just incredible, man.
Like, this is the future, you know, to see these big brands so well established coming in and coming in the right way into a network such as this,
where everyone is lifting each other up.
That is the power of Web3.
You know, we build for community, community first.
And, you know, when Michelin was talking, he was just all about community and providing experiences.
That is just number one for Unify and mad respect for all of that.
It's just honestly, you know, first, what, second week of 2024.
And here we are talking with Michelin.
So that's like that.
But what I had, you know, a question, and I'm not sure, FOMO, if you're going to be able to answer it.
But I was just thinking about what the bureaucracy is like.
You know, how does a big brand like Michelin, how does discussion start?
And what does that transition into Web3 look like for, you know, such a well-established Web2 brand?
So, I mean, if you can shed any light on that, I would love to know.
Yeah, for sure, for sure.
Yeah.
Thank you so much for asking.
I think it's really good.
So, basically, as you may know, so I'm not part of Michelin.
I have my agency, Infinity Lab, which is like a Web3 consulting agency.
But we've been born, we were born in the space.
Like, we literally opened the agency through the project we've worked on, pretty much.
And so, Michelin was, behind the Michelin account was Theo.
And so, he's indeed, like, inside Michelin is an internal employee.
And the project started because he had the initiative of, you know, going to Web3.
Because he didn't mention it earlier.
But for Michelin, Web3 is about community in a way that they literally came in Web3 to create a community.
Because if you think about it, when you know about Michelin, if you buy your tires, you buy it through a vendor or, you know, online.
But you don't buy it straight to Michelin.
If you go to a star restaurant or a star hotel, it's not, like, owned by Michelin.
You just go, like, to see a chef.
But they gave the star, you know.
And so, they never really had a direct link with their community, you know.
They never really had this direct live contact with them as other brands can have, you know.
And they are, like, a 134-year-old company.
So, first, like, it was time.
And second, Web3 is the best place to create a community and engage and just have a direct link with them.
So, they came, like, for this.
And so, that's literally what they're looking for.
So, as an agency standpoint, working with a brand that is not here to generate revenue.
And that is okay to spend, like, to really allocate budget to this project just to build and just to reward the community.
First, like, for me as an agency, it's crazy.
And it's just, like, amazing because I just have to think about everything I want to do on a project that could serve a community.
And that could just, like, you know, get everyone, like, super hyped up and just enjoy, like, being part of the community.
For me, it's super easy to think about it.
Before, like, being a builder, I'm a holder.
I have, like, more than 500 NFTs.
I got robbed 100 times.
So, I'm just doing what I would like to have on the project.
And I have pretty much endless possibilities because it's a $31 billion company.
They are connected with 60 races, pretty much all the star restaurants in the world, all the stars hotel, all the races in motorsport, all the car manufacturers.
So, I just have to think, you know, and create and propose to them, like, okay, are we doing this, you know?
And since they are playing the game and they have budget, like, that's why I'm talking about the Vision 2024 because they are currently validating it.
And, you know, it will be insane if they validate that.
And then, like, as how they are transitioning, I think they literally, like, Theo won the innovative contest.
And so, they allocate him a budget.
And so, he was managed by him and his manager.
And so, he's part of the communication team.
So, it was more of a communication project at first.
And now, like, after the meet, in December, we had a meeting with top management.
So, we went to Clermont-Ferrand, the HQ.
We met the top management.
And literally, we presented the Vision to top management, head of marketing, head of communication and all.
And so, they saw data.
They saw impact.
They saw that they were well-received in the space, that they were, like, successful in building partnership, in having a positive image, an innovative image.
And so, literally, what happened after this meeting is, and what is happening right now, is they are, like, talking to all the different entities in Michelin.
So, the dining one, the motorsport one, and all that, to see, like, you know, who want to be part of this project, you know.
And if they are building, like, literally a Web3 entity.
So, it's, like, a lot of things.
It's moving fast for a Web2 giant like that.
But at the same time, of course, it's a long process.
It's, it's a lot of meetings, a lot of decision levels, because it's.
You there, FOMO?
Maybe you got a bad connection.
So, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There you go.
Yep, yep.
So, that's it.
That's it.
I hope it answers your question.
Sorry, I talked a lot, you know.
Was it?
No, it's cool.
It's cool.
They'll get to know you, FOMO.
And they'll get to know me.
I'm always going to extrapolate that alpha out of you.
But, um, shrapnel, I saw you had your hand up for a couple of seconds.
Um, what you got, man?
Nah, I don't got anything.
I'm just so excited listening about the Michelin project.
And I can't even remember how many billion, um, you said it for the company size.
But, guys, you know, really, if you're looking for somewhere to park long term, right, this is exactly what I want to hear.
Not financial advice.
But I'm focused on community.
I'm a company that's 134 years old.
I've got a market cap of over 60 billion.
Like, you know, I don't need to rug you guys.
Sorry.
Um, but.
Yeah, we don't want your money.
Geet your whole bag, as a matter of fact.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Financial advice, but love what you're building.
I was going to say, like, you know, even if the possibility doesn't exist, like, you know, to, um, you know, incorporate, you know, Michelin and their, um, brand IP into, you know, the shrapnel ecosystem.
There might be a possibility for you to build them a whole game from scratch.
What about that?
You know, there are so many options to collaborate with an amazing brand like Michelin, because like what FOMO boys was saying, right, how many different divisions they have, right?
They've got their fine dining.
They've got motor sports.
So, for example, right, we're going to be at a ton of events this year, I think, like, over 20 around the world.
And so, you know, maybe there's an opportunity to collab there with an in-person event.
We're having all of these, uh, social networking houses where we're, um, inviting a ton of, uh, creators as well as, uh, brands, uh, and organizations to be able to network away from the conference, you know, when there's some downtime.
Uh, so, you know, there's so, so much that we're doing at shrapnel outside of just the game.
And with a brand like Michelin, who is so expansive across such a variety of verticals, you know, like you're saying, Martek, there's opportunity abound, not only to collaborate with us, right, but to collaborate with so many people in not only the Web3 space, but the Web2 space as well.
That, like, yo, I bet, like, Michelin's Rolodex is fucking insane, right?
Let's go.
It's like, if the company really wants to lean into it and be like, yo, Web3 guys, you know, you just have full reign, like, oh my God, I can't even imagine.
But just the fact that leadership is supporting and in a, in a stance of, you know, hey, we want to actually push this forward.
You know, that's all I got to know versus you battling against C-suite bureaucracy.
And they're like, eh, I don't know about this shit, man.
It's risky.
It's like what the kids are into.
Nah, they're like, yo, let's fucking do it.
Let's, let's be innovative, right?
Like, let's make the best damn tires in the world.
And you only do that, right, by pushing the boundary.
So props to Michelin.
No wonder why you guys have been around for so long.
Yeah, man.
Thank you, brother.
And by the way, I am pretty sure I have a group open with you somewhere to talk about a partnership with Michelin.
But I knew that the IP was going to be an issue, but I'm definitely sure we can, like, find some ways.
I always like to find some ways.
So I'm sure, like, there is something to do even more because Michelin is now for, I think, maybe a year or so sponsoring eSports team.
You know, a French one, pretty big one.
So if not with the IP and if not, like, straight with Michelin, we can, like, see what's doable with the team.
Because it's, like, a really famous eSports team that's called Carmin Car.
So there is, like, you know, there is ways to explore.
So definitely, like, we should just have a call and see, like, what we can do.
And the crazy thing is, again, FOMO Boys is actually one of the founders of Infinity Labs.
So, I mean, just with the other projects that you're working with, the projects that I'm working with, like, that's what I've been saying.
And it's been flying over everybody's head.
Network to get work.
Because what we're doing is we're sharing resources here.
We're sharing ideas here.
Like, you know, new things are coming up spontaneously.
Like, you know, when you hear no, that doesn't mean it's never going to happen.
It might mean not now.
Do you know what I mean?
Let's explore something else.
Okay, so we can't get you in the game.
Do you know what I'm saying?
We can't get you in the game.
But how about we make you a game?
Uh, yeah.
Hey, Shrapnel, can you guys make race car driving games?
Dude, we got, we have so much in the pipeline.
You have no idea, Martek.
That's it.
For example, for example, bro, if you do, like, motorsport, like, racing game, for example, that's part of my vision 2024.
Like, so we have to talk about it.
There you go.
It's done.
It's done.
My work here is done.
Like, literally.
I'm going to rub the space.
I'll catch you guys later.
Martek, you're the only one getting alphas, like, over the past five weeks.
But here we go.
So, like, literally part of my vision, like, is to have more entertainment for our communities, but also, like, ways to bring community together through contests.
So, I was thinking, like, we need motorsport games.
Bro, I just gave you the plug, man.
Let's go.
Let's go.
That is what I am here for.
Making connections, yo.
Like, you know what I mean?
And again, I don't care how many.
Network to get work, bro.
Network to get work.
I don't care how many people are in this space.
I've said it before, time and time and again.
It's the right people that you want in these spaces.
It could just be, like, me, FOMO, and Shrapnel, and the Michelin team.
That's all that matters.
Four people making history.
Sometimes, you know, I see individuals in Web3.
You guys are looking at the wrong thing.
Oh, who's up top in the speakers gallery?
Wow.
They got 1,000 people in there.
1,000 people doing nothing.
These are the kind of spaces that are going to bring value.
And that's what you're hearing Web3 for, is to get value.
Not idle conversation.
Not chit-chat.
Not somebody talking about what somebody else is doing and FUD going here and FUD going there.
Next thing you know, you spent two hours of your life and you came out of it with nothing.
Do you know what I'm saying?
It's not about, man, I tell you.
I feel so passionately about just the whole Web3 protocol.
I am bullish on Web3.
You know, I put over 500 of my hours into Web3 last year.
500 hours.
140 plus projects.
Featured.
Big and small.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Just providing opportunity and trying to make these connections like you saw here today.
That is what we're looking for.
Now, bro, you're brought like Frapnel, Michelin.
Bro, that's huge, bro.
And Aura Exchange, the marketplace where all the assets are going to, you can find all the assets.
Like, yo, again, man, hand on heart.
Like, my heart is beating fast, bro.
Because I feel like I'm on the precipice of making history with the elite players in Web3.
You know, my mantra is I do things at the highest level.
And I want that for everybody in Web3 so that we can all gain access to this value.
You know, the projects that we're listening to today, they are not D-Gen plays.
They're not your quick flips.
I'm actually laughing because, you know, the Michelin Mint didn't go 100% smooth.
There were people crying because they didn't get their eardrops immediately.
And they cheated.
That's hilarious.
You cheated at .05.
And we're sitting at .3.
So you cheated yourself out like nearly 800 bucks.
Why?
Because you're following that D-Gen mentality.
You're hanging around the wrong people.
Some of us, some of you guys out here are hanging around the wrong people.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Like, zoom out.
Look, I want you guys to get value.
I want you guys to be empowered.
I want you guys to be hanging around big brains.
I'm not the smartest guy in the room.
But look who's in here.
I've got the smart guys.
I could just sit down here and shut my mouth.
You know what I mean?
My network is full of heavy hitters.
I don't need to say a word.
But, oh, Martek's only got 7,000 followers.
Ah, yeah, he probably.
Yeah, hey, fade me.
I don't care.
You heard.
Bro, your energy is insane, bro.
I love you, bro.
Hey, I got much love for you, man.
And, again, we're continuing to build these relationships that are going to take us into the future.
Legacies are being built today for generations to come.
Like, do you know what I'm saying?
My son has a shrapnel extraction pack.
And guess what?
He's a gamer.
And all of his little buddies are gamers as well.
So, like, yo.
Do you know what I'm saying?
This is stuff that we could pass on to our kids.
You know what I mean?
My son will own all of my NFT assets when I'm gone.
Do you know what I'm saying?
So, what I'm doing isn't for me.
It's for the generations to come.
And I've only got words of empowerment and upliftment, if that's a word.
Because I believe that we were all born for greatness.
We just have to tap into it.
We have to dig deep within ourselves.
We have to be tenacious.
Nothing comes easy.
Be of service before you want to get served.
How about that?
Put the work in first before you expect that big paycheck.
How about that?
Do you know what I'm saying?
Like, this is serious, guys.
Like, this is, you know, what we're experiencing right now is the advent of the World Wide Web.
You know, and I'm a bit of a whole older head.
I think I was around that time.
But, like, you know, can you imagine how much speculation and conjecture was going around from the older heads?
Oh, I'm going to go on a computer and I can access anything all over the world.
Nah, poppycock.
Yeah, okay.
Okay, this is the next level.
You know, we're at ground floor.
You know, we're on the launch pad.
So, guys, make sure that you spend your time around the right individuals that are giving you the right message,
that are giving you the tools of empowerment.
I'm not going to tell you, oh, yeah, you're going to make generational wealth.
Man, you can park that shit.
Yeah, generational wealth.
Here today, gone today.
Grand opening, grand closing.
Hey, hey, look on the roadmap.
Bro, you got roadmap.
Where does the roadmap go?
You haven't even got the money to sustain the roadmap.
You're actually crowdfunding with your flipping NFT drop.
How about that?
That's what a lot of projects are doing.
They are crowdfunding from you so that they can turn around, use the money that you've given them,
and then turn back around and start implementing the things that they're promising you.
That's what's going on in Web3.
Do you know what I mean?
And if you ain't heard it, you're hearing it here, I don't care if I get fudded about it,
but these are the facts.
Do you know what I'm saying?
FOMO, what you got?
It's 12 o'clock, man.
If you want to shut it down, we've been going for an hour.
If you want to shut it down, we can shut it down.
I think our friend at Unify when I talk, bro.
Oh, man, Unify, my bad, man.
And that's how I am, man.
Again, I just feel really passionate about this.
Like, you know, as we edge closer to mass adoption,
we're talking about a whole bunch of people that are going to be in Web3.
Eventually, every major corporation will be here in Web3,
and it has always been my intent to, you know, be a conduit, you know,
to help these Web2 corporations that really have no idea, you know,
as far as, like, the Web3 culture.
Because, again, as we all know, it's not a bed of roses, is it?
It can be damn right volatile out there, not just with the assets
and the cryptocurrency, but with the individuals that we come
into contact with every day.
But Unify, over to you, bro.
Bro, like, I'm just, like, blown away, right?
Like, everything you've just said, think about it.
Like, where else in any other ecosystem, right,
can you, Martech, turn up in a live space with a multibillion-dollar company
and end up being connected with that multibillion-dollar company?
Do you know what I mean?
Like, Web3 is the future, and, like, the way that, FOMO boys,
you were talking about the transition, and your main point was community, right?
And we're here.
We're already here.
We're early.
We've preempted the entire mainstream industry, right?
Everyone out here building, everyone out here showing up, yeah,
is in a position where just by simply being here,
you can go straight to the top of a multibillion-dollar corporation.
Name one other place that you're going to do that
if you don't already have billions of dollars in the bank.
There's nowhere.
This is, like you say, the precipice of history.
You know, this is back when the internet first got invented.
This is pre-CBDCs.
Don't forget, yeah, the digital euro is coming.
The digital dollar is coming.
Everyone is going on chain, whether they like it or not.
So the fact that you're here and you're building
and you're taking part and you're putting in the work
and, like, I love network to get work.
You know, all of this is, honestly,
I cannot say it any better than MarTech is saying it.
FOMO, boy, like, everything you've said.
You know, like, these corporations are realizing.
Let me tell you, I've made various TikToks about this.
You go through my page.
I've talked about community, right?
Community is the new currency, right?
Starbucks led the way with their loyalty program, right?
And it's the most effective loyalty program that's ever been launched
by any major brand, yeah?
And now we're seeing these people are turning heads.
How do I enter Web3?
How do I get into it, right?
And they can't get into it because they have no idea.
MarTech, FOMO boys, Shrapnel, all of you guys down here,
you've done your 10,000 hours.
You are all veterans in a space that the bigger boys have no idea in, right?
You can walk into an office with your proof of work
and you will be an expert in the eyes of people
who want to get into Web3, right?
And I'm just, you know, it is absolutely exciting.
MarTech's saying his heart's beating.
Every time I'm in spaces like this, it's just mind-blowing.
The potential, it takes one space, it takes one conversation,
you know, one reply, one response, you know, one Discord message,
and suddenly now you are in a realm of big brains,
people you would never rub shoulders with in real life.
And that is what I've seen just from the beginning of being here
and, you know, a big part of why we built Unify.
And it's just an absolute pleasure to see all of this, man.
And FOMO boys, I can't imagine, you know,
I don't know where you were before Michelin,
like how you got in contact with Michelin,
but, you know, just that, you know, you're there,
you've been in it, and these opportunities come to us now, yeah?
And Shrapnel, I see what you've built there.
I'm going to put my son in touch with that.
He's a big gamer.
You know, like, the fact that the gamers are not here,
you know, the big game brands aren't here.
You're going to be the experts they refer to, you know?
And so that's what you've got to look at here.
Like, fuck your flip, right?
Your DGEN, your 10X, your, all of this.
Look at the bigger picture, zoom out, right,
and realize that this is a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Like, I don't know what the next step of the internet will be,
but I know it's not going to be for at least 10, 15 years.
Until then, it's going to be web-free.
It's going to be blockchain.
It's going to be different development levels.
And, you know, just be out there, be in amongst it,
be open to new opportunities.
Man, it's just literally, absolutely,
I just love this ecosystem so much.
It's real.
The MarTech effect, the network to get work,
is a phenomenon.
It's real, people.
Don't sleep.
Like, you might say, oh, MarTech, yeah, MarTech.
Hey, keep on fading me.
I'm going to stay consistent.
No matter whether it's good times or bad times,
I'm going to stay consistent.
I want to continue to connect people and projects
at the highest level.
I'm going to stay consistent.
I'm going to stay consistent.
I've got to say that to myself every morning.
I've got to wake up with this level of intensity
and energy every morning.
You know, I'm not doing it by mistake.
Do you know what I'm saying?
I'm very intentional about what I want to accomplish
here in Web3.
And that's what we all have to do.
We have to focus on our intentions.
What do you intend to do here?
What do you intend to get out of hanging around
somebody that's going to be fudding every day?
What do you intend to get?
You're going to reap what you sow.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Like, you know, hey, we've got Undead Chef in the house.
A project that came out of the GU family.
Networking to get work.
I put my everything behind this project.
Didn't even mint yet.
I didn't even know where the project was going.
Yeah, the art looked cool and everything like that.
But when I spoke to the founder, I'm like,
this guy's passionate.
We share the same kind of mindset.
Let's go, man.
Whatever you want from me, you got it.
GU fam.
Undead Chef, how are you doing today, man?
You just popped up.
How's it going?
You are an absolute legend.
And you know what?
My energy just increased by like five times by just hearing your voice.
So I just want to say, for some reason,
I thought I was just expecting your space tomorrow
and didn't even think anything of it.
And then someone's like, yeah, you should get on the space right now.
Because, you know, we all have food and Michelin's here.
And I'm like, oh, yeah, I forgot.
Oh, I'm here.
I'm here a little late, but I'm here, brother.
You know what it is, FOMO.
Oh, man.
You see, this is, again, it's electric, man.
It's electric.
Again, like, you know, there's so many genius minds in Web3.
So many genius, creative, talented individuals.
And oftentimes, they do not get the access and the resource
because they are getting gate kept.
My gate is always wide open.
And as I said, this space is for everybody that's here today, right?
If you want to come up, I'm not going to gatekeep you from speaking to FOMO.
I'm not going to gatekeep you from speaking to Michelin.
I'm not going to gatekeep you from speaking to Shrapnel.
It's all good.
I want you to be blessed.
I'm using my blessings to bless you.
I'm not picking out my favorite people in the space.
You know what I mean?
Participate.
Let's continue to grow this Web3 protocol
because we're not here for ourselves.
We're here for Web3.
And the only way that Web3 is going to grow is if we work together,
if we break down these barriers of negativity,
if we start sharing our resources,
if we empower the little guy to be the big guy of tomorrow.
That's the only way it's going to work.
You know what I mean?
And I'm going to keep on preaching that.
I don't care whether you want to fud me.
Man, I tell you, man.
Powerful shit in Web3.
Powerful.
Powerful.
Yo, yo.
I love your energy, man.
I'm over here sipping coffee.
I feel like you're like a cup of coffee.
You're like a cup of coffee, man.
Plus, I'm sipping coffee,
and I'm smoking a ton of weed
to try to bring it down to a balance,
try to get focused here.
But I agree with everything you're saying.
But, man, I don't think there's any futters on you.
I mean, I'm kind of new to kind of connecting with you,
so maybe there are some futters,
but they're just fake motherfuckers, if so,
because you're spitting out some real stuff, man,
and I'm loving it.
So, yeah, keep it going.
These spaces, you definitely should do them more often.
I'd love to support you 100%.
And I support a lot of small artists
and do a lot of community art spaces,
and I buy on Tezos.
I buy some ETH in Seoul.
So I'd love to kind of bring you on those spaces, too,
so you can kind of, like, meet people from, like, around the world.
Man, I appreciate that, man.
I appreciate that, Keith, man.
And, like, you know, again,
the only thing that I can do is be my genuine self.
That's what we should all be.
You know, don't look for what you can get.
Look for, you know, pay attention to what you can give.
Pay attention on bringing value.
You don't necessarily have to be a project founder.
You don't have to be the greatest graphic artist.
Like, do you know what I'm saying?
Everybody possesses a skill.
You know, double down on what it is that you're good at.
There's so many different opportunities here in Web3.
You can create your own job in Web3.
But, again, you have to be focused upon your intentions.
You have to be genuine.
You have to be sincere.
And it's not a rush.
Take your time.
Yo, you have to do a live coaching session, like, through spaces.
I don't know, but you have to do something, bro.
Like, you raise energy, bro.
Well, FOMO, help me with that.
FOMO, help me with that, man.
You know what I mean?
Like I said, I'm not the smartest guy in the room.
But IRL, that's what I do.
I bring people together.
I make deals.
I'm a deal maker.
I'm a rain maker, as a matter of fact.
I make people millions of dollars.
Like, you know, but, again, you have to be a people person.
You know, the ability to want to see somebody succeed
and the ability to be happy for somebody
and actually speak those words into the universe.
It's one of the hardest.
Actually, it's one of the hardest things, you know,
to do as an individual.
Because some people, you know, they're not happy for you
because they feel that they don't have what you have.
But the thing is, my words are to let you know
you're probably greater than me.
I don't care if you become bigger than me.
Do you know what I mean?
If I give you just one word of inspiration
and you go on to greatness, I'm happy.
I'm really happy for that, you know.
And then if the reciprocation comes, that's great.
If the reciprocation comes, doesn't come, that's great too.
Because, you know, you're not part of the network.
You're not part of these wonderful, amazing, talented individuals
that I've had the opportunity to meet and bring together.
So you're really hurting yourself.
Doesn't matter to me, man.
You know what I mean?
And I'm just being, this is just me.
I'm just being real.
Like, you know, I'm not going to say some magical words
and all that kind of stuff, the popular thing to say.
You know what I mean?
I don't know what, you know, the ETF.
You're saying magical word, bro.
You're saying a lot of magical word.
But, like, yo, somebody down in the listeners' gallery,
come up, participate, man.
Like, I know that we only got a short amount of time left
to continue with this space.
Probably going to do a hard stop at 12.20 Eastern Standard Time,
which is eight minutes.
So, again, while you're here, if you want to come up
and ask FOMO boys anything about Michelin Free Explore,
you know, come up, man.
It's all good.
It's all good.
I want you to feel comfortable.
Martek, can I ask a question to FOMO boys?
Oh, man, you can do what you want, bro.
So, I have this idea that I'm thinking that would really,
really be fun, and I think I've seen some other communities do it.
And it would seem natural to talk to Michelin about it.
And I'm actually thinking about formulating a cross-community
Iron Chef competition within the Undead Chefs Discord.
And I'm trying to, you know, get some communities in
and have some fun and maybe shoot some videos.
For sure.
For sure.
So, like, we have a lot of food needs, we have a lot of cooks,
and we have, like, a channel just to share, like, food picture.
Yeah.
So, like, I'm sure, like, we can make an announcement in the Discord
and just get you some people to join, you know.
I'm sure, like, a lot of chefs in our Discord will be happy
to be part of the contest, you know.
Well, I also want to make it, like, you know, we'll sweeten the deal, too.
Like, I think we'll do, like, a top three.
We'll do a secret ingredient.
I'm kind of working on all of the stuff now.
But, I mean, I know there's tons of communities that have already done it.
But I think, yeah, with Michelin and Undead Chefs and, you know,
and I also want to offer, like, some not just NFT prizes,
but I think some of our, like, our merch prizes, too, like, you know,
like a Damascus Chef's Knife, a cutting board, that kind of stuff.
So, I think that would actually be kind of a – if you're down for it, maybe,
you know, I just followed you.
Maybe let's have a chat.
I'm sure I can get Michelin to, you know, just, like, put some goodies in it also.
So, I'm sure.
You see, look what's happening.
Network to get what.
This is what I'm talking about.
This is what I'm talking about, man.
You know what I'm saying?
This is very true.
I love it.
I love it, man.
There you go, Chef.
You got Michelin, man.
You got open garlic.
Well, I mean, I'm assuming that some of those foodies over there are going to
kick our ass.
But, you know, because, again, you know, French cuisine, I would probably argue,
is, you know, top three in the world.
But, I mean, there's going to be a lot of people that argue with that.
So, I think it'll be interesting to see what I love about Web3 and food is how
they're so, they're worldwide, right?
So, I mean, again, I noticed it.
And I'm sure Michelin did, too, with their Discord.
Like, you're getting people talking about food dishes from everywhere around
the world, right?
Like Nigeria, Japan, Canada, U.S., right?
So, it's Web3's worldwide.
Food's worldwide.
So, let's bring it all together.
And that was kind of one of the big things I wanted to do with Undead Chefs.
So, anyways, that's enough shilling for now.
I came in at the last minute to do my thing.
But, yeah, FOMO, we'll chat more.
For sure.
It's all good, Chef.
It's all good.
For sure.
It's the medium.
Yeah, you got it, brother.
And, you know, what we've got to do, FOMO, for the next one, we've got to try and line
up, you know, some of the winners of the raffles so that they can, you know, talk about their
experience and all that kind of stuff, you know, to the audience.
And, by the way, this space, and, again, if you guys are familiar with Good Vibe Saturday,
I play a lot of music.
And it's, like, you know, real kind of energy.
It's, like, you know, we're a little bit, like, lax.
But, again, this is kind of like a more corporate environment, if you would.
This space will actually be converted into a podcast.
So, it will be available on iTunes, Amazon Music, Apple Music, and all podcast streaming
outlets.
So, like, again, we're doing things the right way, you know, because that's more web to
public facing.
And who knows who's going to stumble across that stuff.
But, again, it's all about, you know, proof of work, leaving these breadcrumbs, leaving
these footprints.
Because, like, you know, Web 2, they're taking their time.
But I'm pretty sure that they listen back.
They listen back.
They want to see who's doing what.
They want to see what kind of narratives.
And then, ultimately, they're going to decide whether they want to align their brands with
certain individuals.
Because, again, for me, I know that Michelin has done their due diligence on me.
They ain't going to just say, yeah, let's just get that regular Schmegler Joe Blow guy.
They want to know if I'm going to be a good look for the brand.
The same thing with Shrapnel.
I know that they probably like, come on, man.
These are big, these are major people with legal teams and all.
They've got a team for everything under the sun.
They're not going to align themselves with just regular Joe Schmo.
That's why I feel honored.
That's why I feel honored that I've put in the time and, like, led by example.
Because now these companies and these corporations can say, like, hey, this guy's actually doing
something.
It's not the size of his account.
But, like, you know, based upon the interaction that we've had with him, this guy's about
his business.
We need to rock with him.
And that's what it is.
Like, you know, keeping it real.
So we've got four minutes left.
I'm going to start winding it down.
FOMO, man, again.
Infinity Labs and all that kind of stuff.
We've got so much big things to cook up for the year, man.
This is just the, you know, just the start of some amazing stuff.
And I'm glad.
Bro, let's go.
I'm glad to be affiliated.
Let's go, let's go.
You're in the network to get work, fam.
Shrapnel's in the network to get work, fam.
Michelin's in the network to get work, fam.
Who wants to be in the fam?
We are bringing people and projects together all over the world, big and large.
Holler at your boy, man.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm here and I'm going to make it happen.
By the way, I see a lot of power holders here.
So I think I will drop it.
But so I have a meeting with Teo on Monday to talk about the alpha groups, so the sub-communities.
And so expect an announcement by the end of next week, talking about that.
And for those who are here and that are not part of the community.
So pretty much since I'm an ape and I know what it's like to have sub-communities in your own country where you can do meetups, just real-life interaction, meet people from the same project as you and all that.
And just participate in events, just have some experiences and all.
So I just wanted to bring that also to Michelin.
And I think that makes sense because we do have big communities of holders around the globe.
So I wanted to push this.
So we will, of course, have some benefits for our main alpha groups, I would say, the ones that are filling up with our requirements to be an alpha group.
But so the announcement, we'll talk about it.
And I think we have already a U.S. one that is, you know, getting ready and was waiting for the announcement.
We have a German one, French one, one in Hong Kong and one from Poland.
So for now, I think those are our main communities that are building.
But I think, like, you know, it will be just crazy this year in 2024.
Let's go, man.
Let's go.
Let's go.
So we're going to start winding it down.
Yo, Marta.
Anyone up?
Yo, yo.
Hey, sorry, man.
I can't raise my hand on my laptop and I got kicked off my phone.
Oh, you're on the computer.
Yeah.
What's up, Aaron?
Hey, bro.
Great space, brother.
As usual.
Huge vibes, huge energy.
Big love to, you know, what you're putting together here.
It's been a lot of work.
I know the grind you've gone through.
Am I lagging?
I can not hear anything.
Yeah, maybe.
Well, maybe it's Aaron.
Don't worry.
Don't worry.
You're good, FOMO.
You're good.
Oh, you can't hear me?
All good.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I can hear you.
That's the most important thing.
All good.
Just wanted to put it out there that it would be good to get on some calls with FOMO, Michelin,
Shrapnel, any other projects that are interested in getting involved with our online rewards
program that is aimed to connect Web3 to Web2 and all about rewarding the people.
Thanks for having us up here.
I'm going to drop down because there's clearly some issues, but big love to you, brother.
Yeah, I got your back, Aaron, since day one, Aura Marketplace.
I knew that stuff was dropping before it even dropped.
So, like, yeah, it's part of the fam.
I'll definitely link it up in the back channels and all that kind of stuff, and we're all going
to keep on growing.
Like, you know, that simple.
Like, yeah.
So, cheers for tapping in, Aaron, and, like, you know, be good, man.
Catch yourself some rest.
We done that 24-hour space the other day.
It was absolutely insane.
So, I'm pretty sure that you're tired, man.
Go enjoy.
Go play some Fortnite with your daughter.
Take it easy.
24-hour space?
Yeah, we did a 24-hour space.
It was an initiative called The Torch.
So, there were a few projects that were involved, and one project done 24-hour space.
Then, pass it on to the next project for 24 hours, which I believe it was The Fun Apes
and The Puff Pandas were also involved.
All communities that I'm very close to that I network with.
So, like, yo, you know, I don't need to talk about it every day.
I just show up.
I bring value.
But, you know, my network is growing, and all of these dope, dope, dope projects in
the network, I get to grow with them and all that kind of stuff.
And, like, you know, we're just going to keep it pushing, man, and make sure that
everyone has a fantastic experience in Web3.
It's really full of value.
But, without further ado, Shrapnel, you got some words to help us go out, mate?
Yeah, brother.
Martech, dude, you're crushing it.
2024 is going to be the year of network to get work.
I can already see it.
You bring together so many amazing speakers and panelists across the space.
Like, I don't even know who you don't know in the space, honestly.
And, like, you're seeing it right here up on the panel, live, BD happening, deals getting
formed, pitches happening.
So, really, like, what you're doing as a service for your audience is unmatched.
So many spaces out there are, like, bought and sponsored.
And, like, literally, it's just a lot of non-value fluff and stuff.
But, bro, you're putting on the audience onto real projects so early.
It's unbelievable.
If there's anything that we can do to help support you, let us know.
Our Rolodex is open.
Our contacts are open.
If you see any games or whatever we're working with you want to bring on network to get work,
let's do it.
Let's grow, you know, this community and audience and spaces.
We're happy to come on anytime.
Thank you so much for the invite.
Seriously, shout out to Martech for literally building such an amazing space for truth.
Because, you know, we'll come up here anytime because you don't pay or you don't, like,
extract value from projects to, like, make them come up here.
Like, other spaces, a lot of, you know, really big famous ones are like,
oh, nah, if you want to come up on the stage, right, you got to pay for that shit.
And it's like, okay, I see how it is.
I see how it is, how you want to, like, treat your audience.
Might not want to put them onto projects that can't afford you.
And that's fine.
You know, we'll show up maybe once.
But, like, you know, you have the ability to draw on your network anytime.
You know, I'm sure FOMO boys will jump on anytime.
New American, we've been on here.
Shrapnel, you know, we'll support you forever, brother.
So keep on rocking what you're doing.
If you're in the audience, dude, just keep following Martech.
He's literally a beacon in this space.
He ain't trying to rug you guys.
He ain't trying to shill his bags and, like, dump on y'all.
He's just really trying to share knowledge and share information out here.
And, dude, it's fucking awesome.
I love to see it.
I'm just excited to be a listener in your spaces.
Today was so amazing with Michelin.
They are cooking up so much.
Seriously, be following FOMO boys.
Be following the Michelin Explorers Club.
I'm going to go hop in there, check out the collection, check out the Discord.
They're doing it right in terms of building a community.
Like, straight up for me personally, right?
Dude, I'm a shitty flipper.
I'm not good at that shit.
I'll get in at the top and, like, not sell and hold that shit to zero.
So, like, straight up what I do is I'm a collector, right?
If I'm going to buy something, I'm going to hold on to that shit probably forever, most likely.
I'm not really good at selling stuff.
Yo, I'm the same, bro.
I'm the same.
Don't worry, bro.
I know the deal.
It's terrible.
But, you know, I can change.
So, that's why I feel like it's a vibe here in Martech.
Like you said, it's about intentions.
And whether you're looking for that DGen alpha, whether you're looking for that long-term viability of community, Martech is giving you all the alpha and all the info to find your right home in Web3.
And really, like Martech was saying, it's about intention, right?
Who do you want to be in Web3?
Do you want to be a DGen?
Right.
Do you want to be an active community member?
Do you want to be a creator?
You get to choose your path, right?
And ultimately, that path is going to be what you sow from the space.
And Martech, thank you so much for giving us the pathways to follow.
Dude, this year is going to be so awesome.
I'm excited for it.
Man, appreciate you.
I appreciate every single one of you.
I appreciate all of my speakers today.
Been a dope space again.
Like, you know, I haven't even looked down to see how many people are in the space.
Because I don't really care.
I just know that the right people are here.
That's what's important to me and stuff like that.
So, like, you know, definitely, definitely much love to everyone.
Tomorrow, Good Vibes Saturday is going down.
It just so happens that Unify is going to be one of our guests.
There's a couple of small emerging projects that I'm featuring tomorrow as well.
So, again, I'm not just out there scalping for the big guys.
I want to see the little guys get exposure, connect them, make sure that they've got the resources because they're going to be the big guys of tomorrow.
You know what I mean?
And I ain't sent a prize sheet out to not one of them, contrary to popular belief.
Do you know what I mean?
I'm going to, you know, it's going to come to me.
You get out of it what you're putting.
You put good energy out, you're going to get blessed with good energy back in kind.
You know, my intention isn't just to make money.
My intention is to connect the right people at the right time and at the right place.
And I think today was an example of that.
As I said, it's a recorded space.
It's going up to podcasts and all that kind of good stuff.
Tapping tomorrow with me, 10.30 a.m.
Eastern Standard Time.
Look on my profile.
You'll find a link to the space.
If you want to, you know, jump in and get some more good vibes and good energy, like, we can do it.
On a Friday, no music.
We're doing corporate.
We're doing business.
It's the Network to Get Work movement.
Thank you, everyone.
I hope everyone has a fantastic day.
As I usually say on my space on Saturday, smile at a stranger.
It might just make a difference in their life.
You know what I mean?
Lift somebody up.
Use your blessings to bless others.
And that's all I got, man.
Drop in the mic.
Catch you guys later.
Thanks a lot, everyone.
Peace and be easy.
Thank you, Liden, bro.
All right.
Thanks, Martak.
