Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. you how's it going everybody hey i'm just driving i'm almost at my destination give me like two
minutes and we'll get this thing rolling thank you for showing up see you in a bit Thank you. Thank you. Okay.
Happy Thursday, everybody.
Week's almost...
Actually, my week is over.
I'm done with work for the week.
Now I enjoy a three-day weekend
We kind of chill figure out what I'm gonna do
What's going on ham? How's it going brother?
Yo, yo, it's going brother. How you doing today? Just just happen having a chill evening. I hope
Yeah, man, right now just got done with work. It's been actually a crazy week, I hope. Yeah, man. Right now, just got done with work.
It's been actually a crazy week, but in a good way.
We're actually...
It's kind of nuts, man.
So far, in like two weeks,
I just took over a new position.
I was assembly retired.
So August 1st was officially my first day
at the position that I was hired to do four years ago.
And we're on track already by this, by today, end of today,
we've already done more business in two weeks than we did all of July.
So it's actually, that doesn't have to do with me.
It just kind of coincidentally happened that way,
where we had some big orders come in that were holding out
so even the owner made a comment i'm like bro i can't control that if people are buying stuff
i said but hey i'll take it if you want to give me the credit for it i'll take it but
that has nothing to do with me you know it just happens that some orders didn't go through last
month they happened to go this month but we're like it's kind of crazy probably end up the month
like at a half a million in the
month when we last month we only did about a quarter quarter million last month so it's actually
pretty good it's a good way to start the month i guess hell yeah hell yeah it is and shit yeah if
you're even if even if you're not responsible for it like getting uh you know it's still
had the company doing well
as you officially take over that position.
Like that's definitely a good thing.
So that's awesome, man.
Yeah.
I mean, it's cool.
You know, I mean, I got that and I actually, I didn't do it.
They actually did it for me.
The founder of the company passed away.
His daughter and son-in-law, which I'm good friends with are the ones who actually took over. The son-in-law basically, you know, and the daughter inherited the company passed away his daughter and son-in-law which i'm good friends with are the
ones who actually took over the son-in-law basically you know and the daughter inherited
the company and prior to the dad passing away they actually gave me i have they gave me a small
equity position in the company so i actually have like very small position but when the company is
profitable i get i get a decent bump you know i get some decent bonuses to go with that but he's like he was like hey man this year you might not get anything i'm like
shit dude you still owe me for last year you know i go pay me just square up with me for last year
i'm not that concerned about 2025 just square up with you for 2024 would be good so hopefully
that's coming actually yeah that's a side note.
We'll talk about that tomorrow on the call.
But it looks like I'm getting a piece of my profit share from last year, actually, next week.
So it'll be good.
Hell yeah.
Yeah, you can't beat that, man, getting a bonus.
It's awesome that you'll be getting I remember you mentioning that you told him
Like you could put it off till next year
Or whatever so
That's cool it's coming man
Yeah
Nephew had his back surgery on Monday
They put three rods in his back
And 14 screws
So yeah he's
His life will never be the same.
But, you know, he's alive, though.
So that's, uh, that's another side of it, too.
Actually going to go see him tomorrow because I have the day off.
So I'm dreading actually driving up to L.A., to be honest with you.
I just, I'm not big on driving up to L.A.
because the traffic just kind of gets crazy out there
and just get a bunch of
stupid people on the road but it is what it is i gotta go up there and check it out
yeah that's a shame he went through you know all of that but you know definitely uh prayers
on his recovery you know i'm sure like he said he's gonna have to uh you know, I'm sure like you said, he's going to have to, you know, learn how to navigate
some parts of life, but, you know, at least, at least he's still around to do that. So that's
awesome, man. I'm glad that he is still, you know, around and kicking and yeah, you know,
prayers for him. For sure, man. I appreciate it. No way, man. Cat pulled up. If you guys don't know who Cat is, I love this lady.
And all the space I've been, she's such a good, hearted person.
Just really, I mean, anytime she gets up on the panel, I'm going to invite her to speak
because you guys will see what I'm talking about.
For me, she's like mama bear.
She lights up the room when she gets into space.
That's how I feel about these ladies.
If you guys don't, it's okay. I'm not here to impress you guys anyway. But she's
like one of those kind of mama bear type people that I'm fortunate to actually have
gone and listened on multiple spaces and she pulled up tonight. I know her birthday
was yesterday. What's up, Kat? Except that invite. I want to hear that lovely
voice of yours.
But Kat's in here. Papa Bear
is in here.
What's up, Mama Bear?
Hello, hello. Oh, I'm blushing.
What's going on, sweetheart? How are you?
I'm doing amazing. How are you?
I'm doing great. I see you? I'm doing great.
See, you guys, you told me what.
I love that voice.
Isn't that cool?
Her voice is so soothing.
It's just so chill.
We are so cool.
How was your birthday, my dear?
Yesterday was your birthday, right?
Oh, yeah.
Two days ago, and I just have.
Two days ago, got it.
The best week.
Leo's, we celebrate the whole month, and we're just brats so i don't even
wow so yeah no i've it's been a really fun week and i just have been getting a lot of love and
um and i love celebrating people so it does it feels really good to just kind of let your guard
down and let people celebrate you you know it's that reciprocal love. I dig it. No, absolutely.
No, I appreciate you pulling up.
Yeah.
You know, I haven't heard you for a bit, though, but I also haven't been around, though, either.
I've kind of been out of pocket for a little bit as well, though.
It's been a busy summer.
I do work with foster kids, and the last couple of weeks, I was in Reno helping with the foster kids and stuff.
We have a summer kids camp, and so I'm one of the camp counselors.
And so I love working with kiddos.
Yeah, so that takes a lot of my summer.
But it is incredibly rewarding, and I just can't think of a better way to give back.
So I love them.
Yeah, I'd like to chat with you about that i like on a
different on a call i do want to get a little bit more about that because i i actually have a soft
spot for for that area so i'm going to see maybe chop it up with you a little bit outside of this
for we may watch anytime anytime salt anytime yeah and i still do my Sunday morning. What's up, Tricky? Yeah. So, I just hit up Sunday mornings.
It's Tricky Buddha from DeFi Space Donkeys.
Powered by weed on Solana.
Get yourself a bag of weed.
Let's go.
Hope you're all doing good.
Retreat the space.
We rated for MySpace into Mama Bear's space, and now we're all into here.
Let's go.
Hope the whole GPC is doing good. What salt crypto stuff I'm good man how are you
doing brother I'm doing pretty good I got like a little bit of a headache and
I'm just trying to get myself hydrated and healthy and clean up my place for
my birthday party on Saturday so cuz we're gonna make a giveaway space and
I'm not gonna be able to do shit else but drink tequila and be on spaces.
That's cool, man.
That's another birthday.
Dang, man.
Yeah.
We got so many.
And it's Pinky's birthday at the same time and another friend's birthday as well. So it'll be like three people having a birthday, but everyone's going to bring a giveaway to get on stage.
And we just do like the massive giveaways
every year so this is the fourth one last year we had like 600 plus like people who got prizes
it was over four grand with the prizes so no way i want to see the west beat that also i mean i've
grown this account to 35 percent since that that last year so hopefully that reflects and we get
more giveaways.
Sometimes this will become contagious, though.
I'll just be in a space with like 100 people,
and there's good conversation, good energy,
and I'll throw out a giveaway,
and then someone else throws out a giveaway,
and then someone else throws out a giveaway,
and then the host is like,
well, I'm not going to be showed up.
Everyone just starts doing giveaways
and it becomes this chain reaction
of paying it forward like chaos.
So that's kind of with the birthday.
It's my birthday, but we just call it the DeFi Space Donkeys event.
I'm turning 41, though.
Where'd the time go?
Dude, you're a baby.
Woo-hoo!
Yep. Still lots of time to fuck up.
Yeah, man.
A bunch of youngins in here, man.
41 shit.
Dude, wait until you hit your 50s and we'll start talking. 41. You got a bunch of babies, man. 41 shit. Dude, wait until you hit your 50s and we'll start talking.
41. Got all these, man.
You got a bunch of babies, man. Still wet
behind the ears. I'm 41
but like I'm a 23
or 27 year old stuck in an 80 year old's
body. It's weird, you know?
Like, maybe you could
even say 90 on a bad day.
My grandma was 93.
She's still shooting a compound bow at the Senior Olympics.
I wasn't, I'm not, I don't know.
The lady's crazy.
That's cool, man.
What's up, Crypto Stoner?
He's probably, he's probably in quack space too,
because I think he does dual spaces on Thursday.
Tries to cover both.
I'm here today.
I'm here today.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What's going on, brother?
Doing good, doing good.
Just making some moves in the market this week.
Been trying to get some IRL gigs.
So been talking to some people, trying to get some IT stuff stuff and ended up getting a little bit of work this week.
So been a little bit quieter on the timeline, but we've been in a lot of spaces this week.
We've had tons of collab spaces and it's been really cool.
We've been messing around and being in collab spaces a bunch with Infinite NFT Royale with Toshy and Anthony down there.
So who shout out, we had a meeting today
and they actually are going to be bringing me on
to help consult for Infinite NFT Royale
and their future, like what we can expand on
and how we can push them further.
So shout out to them for, you know,
trusting me to continue helping
and, you know, hopefully making even more collabs and connections with Infinite NFT Royale.
And they also were super excited about Solana Deads.
We were talking about Solana Deads a little bit in there.
And, you know, they were talking about, you know, they're both developers as well.
And so they were talking about, you know, they love what Rogue does
and what Rogue stands for in the Salon of Deads and how he's developing, you know, tools and cross-chain utility and stuff.
And so they were like, you know, we're hoping that one day maybe we can also do some trades of utilities or come together and collab on stuff.
So, you know, I think that down the road here, it's not only going to be, you know, just a card of Salon of Deads in your, you know, infinite NFT Royale.
I think there's a lot more collaboration and building that can be done.
So super excited about that today.
And, you know, we'll we'll see how the rest of the week and month goes.
I took a lot of profits yesterday and the day before off my swing trades, and then I started buying the dips this morning.
So I put about 20% of my portfolio back in to the market, and then we'll see what happens through the rest of the week here.
But you guys know we've been talking a lot about market stuff in that sense and the volatility with these big ups.
A lot of times we have to have some consolidation.
So it just kind of makes for an easier swing trade playground for right now.
So just kind of paying attention to that this week. So how are you feeling, Salt?
How's the day going?
I know it's been a long week, but I hope it's been mostly, you know, a better week.
Yeah, man.
Look, mine's pretty simple, honestly, you guys.
I mean, maybe because I've gone through enough stuff in my life.
So, I mean, every day that I get up, I mean, this is the God honest truth. So I'm not like trying to do it because I've gone through enough stuff in my life so I mean every day that I get up I mean this is the God honest truth so I'm not like trying to do it because on a space if you
actually knew me in IRL you'd go yeah that's him I'm just happy that I get to wake up on my own
every day that's the God honest truth that I don't need help getting up I usually get I get up on my
own I usually get up before my alarm goes off you know and I pretty much get up and I'm ready to take
the day on and i i go about
100 miles an hour from time i wake up until probably time i settle and that's kind of my
speed i either have zero or 100 i don't have like middle ground so my it drives my wife nuts
you know because she's like hey can't you like drop it a little bit going to like second gear
i'm like no i don't know how to do i go i go straight from zero to fourth so i don't i don't do i don't do the whole one two you know i don't there's no ramping
up for me it's like just boom so my poor wife though she my youngest one is looks nothing like
me but she's got she has probably my personal only more than my other kids so she's 100 miles an hour
two or zero so my wife she has, she calls us like the bookends.
So because her and my other two girls are stuck between my youngest and I.
Because we're both like 100 miles.
They're like, yeah, we can't do this.
So they call us the bookends in the house.
So it is what it is.
But I'm just having a good week.
It's over now.
I'll enjoy the space coming together.
I was just kind of going in my head like what i want to talk about and one of the things i want to talk about is really growing like i said
in there growing the community organically you know how does that look like what does that look
at least for me you know it probably looks it looks different than for other people but i just
want to kind of table that and put that out there and kind of talk a little bit about it because I like where I'm at right now within Web3.
I like the projects I'm involved in.
I like the people I'm running with right now.
And I like how that ecosystem is growing.
You know, getting to know people like Tricky Buddha, D-Bros, you know, some of the people in the collective, you know, other projects as well that are part of the collective getting no quack and that that family as well you know some of the guys obviously within the deads
kind of building that ecosystem getting those relations because for me ultimately you guys
i'm trying to build this and gals i'm trying to because i want to bring my kids on board my kids
into web three and i want to on board them into a community then go okay you know what girls you're
in good hands with these people and be able to step back a little bit because
that's why i get emotional my my time here is limited so my window's shorter than a lot of
you guys in the sense that i'm older i'm into my 50s so my window has gotten shorter that i'm not
sounding like doom and gloom or whatever that is a reality that i have to deal with and i i'm i'm
content with that so it's not bro, don't be bummed.
I'm not bummed.
I just know my limitations.
I know my morality.
And no, I have my window is shorter than you guys,
this 20-year-old or 30-year-old young whippersnappers that are in here.
And I'm okay with that.
How do I?
I want to be able to hand my kids off because at some point,
they're going to control all the crypto because I'm building this stuff for them,
not for me. My wife and I are good. We both, we have our,
our stuff settled. So we're good.
I want to be able to give it to my kids because my kids are getting priced out
in California and that's where we reside.
And I don't see us changing that anytime soon. So for that,
I need to set them up
so when i am gone that they they're okay and that's what this is that's what i look at this
community and the people that i'm kind of surrounding myself with is people i want to
be able to hand off and go okay i'm good you guys are fine you're in good hands and be able to step back. Does that make sense?
100%, brother.
And, you know, like you said earlier, it's those experiences, right,
that you've experienced. And, you know, I know I'm a little bit younger, obviously.
I'm 35, but I still – I had a very intense young, you know, growing up.
So I was paying the bills for my mom and taking care of her at 15.
So ever since then, it was, you know, that on your own, lots of crazy experiences trying
to figure life out, you know, and it is those experiences.
I think now, especially as I'm 35, for people that may be younger and haven't gone through crazy things or experiences, you know, it does.
It kind of, I have a lot less fear in the things that I do, especially financially and things like that.
It's like, you know, like you said, we're only here once.
We don't have kids, my wife and I, and I don't know if we're going to have any.
I don't know if that's what we really want.
But our main goal and our, you know, we were, you know, we were spiritual.
We were in that realm a lot.
Our thing is that we're supposed to help as many people around us as we can.
You know, that goes into any businesses we start or any, you know, communities that we build.
you know, communities that we build, we want to change the world in the sense of helping
adults or anyone around us, people that haven't been helped up or been lifted back up, you know,
and so it's, it's really important that, especially for us in crypto, there's going to be so much
money that comes into this. And, you know, we're investing and just holding until it's mass adopted,
we really will have financial freedom, generational wealth.
But that only does so much if it's just sitting there, right?
So, you know, we're constantly thinking,
how do we, when we get to that point,
how are we going to help as many people as we can
and use our experiences or the tough times we've been through
to help other people get out of that
or maybe not experience it, you know?
Yeah, 100%.
Look, the part of the fact that there's a reality at the end of the day,
your life experiences teach you a lot of stuff through your life experiences.
And at the end of the day, like some of the stuff I've gone through,
you know, did I enjoy them? No.
But it's allowed me to be able to speak into people's lives
that are going through something similar. And it gives me instant credibility because it's not something to be able to speak into people's lives that are going through something
similar. And it gives me instant credibility because it's not something I read in the book
or heard about. It's like stuff I've experienced myself. So when they know that and they go,
okay, so you can relate. And that's the part. If you haven't gone through some stuff,
you don't really, you can't speak into situations that you haven't had to go through.
And that's, that's the honest truth. It just,
it's not a right run or indifferent or, you know, shame on you,
you know, downplaying you or whatever.
But there's reality is if you haven't experienced it,
it's hard to speak into it. And I've been for, for,
I guess fortunate in a sense that I've gotten, you know,
some of the stuff I don't wish nobody had to go through, but if,
if I had to go through it to help somebody else out down the road, I'm good with it.
You know, was it fun? No, a lot of it was not fun.
You know, but it's what you go, how do you do it and how do you handle it and how do you move through it?
Do you move through it with grace or do you move through it being bitter?
You know, and those are the choices that we all have to make, you know, and I just choose to be better. I really do. You know, and then people are like,
how do you do that? I said, I don't have time to be bitter. And they're like, well, what do you
mean? I said, honestly, it's like, if you think about it, life is so short that if you go through
it being bitter, you're going to miss out on so many opportunities to actually really enjoy life to its fullest i want to enjoy life you know there's enough shit that's gonna come
my way that i don't have to go look for it it's gonna come my way anyway and i have to deal with
it so if i choose to be better about it i can overcome some of those circumstances that come
my way that might spin somebody that for me it might not be like i can just go okay whatever you know i'll deal with it
you know i know some of those are the life experiences and those help you grow and when
you're going through it and like you know especially in this way in web three you know
it's probably i probably haven't seen anybody
getting burned.
And there's probably,
I'd say maybe a couple people
that I know now at Web3
that had their ass handed to them financially
as hard as I have.
Or as hard as I've had my ass handed to me.
You know, and I'm tight with those people
because we're like kinder spirit.
We can go, yeah, you know what?
I can relate, bro.
I know what you've gone through.
I know that feeling,
you know,
and that helps.
And those are some of the things that I'm able to speak into some of these guys.
I can,
maybe that might be this jot whooped or whatever,
got scammed away and go,
okay,
here's what,
let's walk through this.
Let's spin it back.
Let's dial it back a little bit.
Let's go through this.
There's some of the things maybe you need to look at and it's,
it helps.
So yeah, that's kind of, that's, I guess need to look at. And it helps. So, yeah.
I guess I'm like that old grandpa now.
It's like, well, Sonny, back in the day.
I never thought I would be, but I am, I guess, unfortunately.
But it's fun.
It is what it is.
We're all just, you know, micropart particles in the grand scheme of this entire universe so
you know we're just doing our best out here absolutely man and it's an energy thing too a
lot i've learned um and that you know maybe other people differ on that but if you're constantly
telling yourself good things are going to happen to you, I'm going to be lucky, I'm going to be blessed, fortunate, those kind of things too.
It really makes a difference. I used to be a person that constantly was down on myself,
like I stuck or something. And a lot of times I was joking, but I did learn that the power of
words is powerful, right? So I really did make a change, and I don't really say any of that stuff anymore.
And I really noticed a difference in other things outside of my control that happened.
And it just kind of leads to a more positive atmosphere, no negative interactions with most people and things of that nature.
and things of that nature. And so, you know, some is, uh,
some of all of this too, in our experiences, what we want to make it, or,
you know, what we're attracting, uh, law of attraction, so to speak there.
So, you know, it's, uh, it's very interesting. And like, you know,
as we grow through those trials and those tribulations that we run into that
are tough, uh, you know, those, those build, you know, armor strength, uh,
up for us,
especially when we know that we can recover and we can get back up
uh and go again you know
no 100 you know the part of it is the biggest part you can we can speak life into people or we can
speak death and you have to wait which one you want to do you know when i was younger i didn't i really
didn't care i was i was just like you know i was just a real a-hole you know i just it doesn't
matter and then you get older you start realizing okay you know what that you know my words do have
some do have power you know and we start having kids you realize okay and god knew exactly what
he was doing he gave me three daughters.
And I don't know if they've softened me, but they've made me get in touch with a side of me that I never thought I would.
And I enjoy every minute of it.
I joke around with them.
I mean, I have fun with them.
But also, too, it's changed my approach to a lot of things.
Because being able to talk to a girl, it you know because being able talking to girls it's
a lot different than having boys that's for dang sure and i'm okay i mean i love it i enjoy it and
i mean like i said god knew exactly what he was doing he gave me girls because i needed that
no mistakes you know universe and mistakes
yep what's up sergey i see your hands what's going on bro
or i don't want to say i don't want to assume it's a bro but you know yeah the name like search you
know you think so um thanks for bringing me up i didn't want to interrupt and just unmute because
i don't know what your protocol is here i haven't been in your space before but i jumped in uh
pretty early i think when cat was saying uh you you were up in Reno doing some stuff with foster kids.
I'm in Placeril, so not too far from you.
Saul, you said you're in California.
I'm not sure which side of California you're on because, you know, California is barely the many countries in the world.
Are you on Southern California or Northern?
Yeah, I'm down south, man.
I'm by L.A.
I'm in Orange County.
Okay, yeah.
I grew up there and then I moved.
Well, I didn down south, man. I'm by L.A. I'm in Orange County. Okay. Yeah, I grew up there. And then I moved. Well, I didn't grow up there.
I moved here in the fourth grade to Southern Northern California.
Just keep moving more and more north.
You mentioned being the father of three daughters.
I have six.
Six daughters?
And I've joked my whole parenthood.
I'm 56 years old.
You mentioned you're 50-something.
I'm 56 years old.
54. And I've joked a long time
I'm going to have a tequila brand called
Father of Daughters.
Oh, no.
They took him away as he was giving us the time.
He took him away, right? He said
Tequila brand, he disappeared.
I was excited. Come back.
Come back.
We need the tequila.
This came good.
Oh, what happened?
They got him.
They got him.
X said no.
He was promoting.
No, we'll come back.
There we go.
Here we go.
There you are.
There you are.
What's going on?
Tequila brand and you disappeared.
Yeah, I don't even know what happened.
Anyway, so I wasn't promoting.
I never made the brand.
But my idea was to have a tequila brand called Father of Daughters.
And, you know, like, say whatever it is.
And everyone would understand it and buy it.
But my first experience with tequila was as a kid in the fourth grade in uh sandy and uh they got him again yeah they won't let him give the
alpha today no he won't he's like they're like wait a minute wait okay punk him you know what's
happening elon's file filing the the trademark and everything right now.
That's what it is. Here you go.
Yeah, he's like, hey, wait.
Yeah, wait, wait, okay.
Tequila, wait, okay.
Oh, it is.
I'll come back.
I'm not even going to butcher Gollum.
Is that what it is? Ham, what's up?
I was just saying, I know Rune Lord's had his hand up for a minute.
I think he had it up a while ago.
Oh, sorry, Rune Lord. What's up, Rune Lord?
No problem, no problem. What's going on, guys?
How you doing, brother?
Good. I wish I had a little tequila, but that's not happening tonight.
We almost had it, and then certainly got rugged.
Yeah. It was a bit of a tease there.
No, I just came up.
Yeah, no.
You know, I haven't been around much lately, and, you know, you guys,
I was in Mama Vera's space for a little bit.
I just caught the tail end of that.
We were talking about Kat's birthday over there, too. I too i was just wondering cat have you got yourself a solana dead
yet yes of course i have a couple of course i do that's good i was gonna gift you one for your
birthday so you're welcome to still take it.
I would, I would, I would be honored.
I would be honored to have that as a birthday present. Thank you so much.
Every time I leave and come back, I feel bad. So I got to, you know,
bless the community a little bit here. So I'll set it up with him. Just jump in the discord and chat with him,
open up a ticket and we'll get it over to you girl.
I love it. Thank you, that i love it thank you darling
yeah and happy birthday thank you i know all the leos happy birthday to all the leos out there
yeah i'm a leo too mine's coming up here in a week so what i love that we gather we gather
we all found the same space hey right well and. Well, it's so powerful, you know, like really,
I mean, when you have people that are on the same frequency, we were talking about energy a little
bit. It's, it really does matter. Like when you have people that are vibing with you that support
not only your projects and your life and they're kind and they're good and they're just giving.
And it's just really, it's this awesome vibe. And it really, we were the ones that make it, right?
We're the ones.
We're the ones that create it.
Like we have to have that self-love
and that self-esteem and all those things
before we give it to others.
And so like all you daddies up here
that are just blessing your daughters
and at least thinking of them
and putting them first in your world,
it's so honorable and it's such in your world, it's so honorable.
And it's such a great vibe.
And it's good karma.
It's good juju.
It comes back.
So I love it.
Oh, 100%.
100%.
And this is the place to be in for that.
The GPC.
You know, everybody's so giving here.
know where everybody's so giving here and honestly if you're having a bad day guys just tune into
i i always just type in mama bear or quack life because i love listening to mystic too
and uh just jump in wherever they are and you'll feel better 100
it's true mama always has the best words of wisdom. And she has that awesome voice.
That's so funny.
You're like my voice.
And I've always thought I've had the craziest voice.
But Mama Bear's voice is soothing to me.
Like when she's talking, it's like, aw, Mama's on.
Yeah, for sure.
No, she definitely has that voice for sure, for sure.
You know? Oh, man, this is kind of cool. Okay. Hey, Sergei's back daughters that I physically father and two more that I raised from a merged family.
So a total of eight.
So father of daughters would be my tequila brand if I had one.
But what I came in here for is because growing community organically, I go to a lot of spaces.
I'm very fortunate and blessed that I have a business that runs on its own for the most part. So I go into a lot of spaces. I'm very fortunate and blessed that I have a business that runs on its
own for the most part. So I go into a lot of spaces and sometimes they're very negative.
Other times they're not. If you look at my posts, I just don't post negativity. My website,
I posted in the little, in the comments, all about positivity. uh, pause. And you were talking already about the law, the law of, um,
a law of attraction. All these things just really resonate with me. Um, I didn't know that's what I
was getting into when I came in here. I thought I was just going to talk about how to grow a
community organically. Um, but I'm really trying to attract those people that are like-minded with
that positive attitude and that upbeat, uh, you know, we, we know that the world happens around us.
We know things bad happen, but we can, you know, we can choose how we interact with our world
and who we, you know, gravitate towards us, who we gravitate towards. So I just wanted to,
you know, say I appreciate what you guys are saying. I don't go, I go into a lot of spaces,
but I don't appreciate some of the spaces. I don't stay very long.
But I jumped in when you guys were talking about being in Reno and California and having kids and the AIDS and all that kind of stuff.
So I just want to say I appreciate you.
I'm going to listen in.
Mama Bear, I followed you back.
I've seen your space.
I may have followed you in here.
I can't remember who I followed in.
I followed somebody in here today.
But I appreciate you guys.
Follow me back if you could.
If you don't want to, that's okay, too.
I am here about building communities.
No one's following you.
Okay.
That's all right, too.
I'm here about building communities.
I'm going to listen to what you guys have to say about that.
Thank you very much for your time.
I appreciate you.
Bro, tell us about the tequila.
That was awesome.
Yeah, come on, bro. You started talking about the tequila brand we're like we're like gun ho about that now
what's what if i get rugged again if i get rugged it's not my fault so i i posted i posted uh
moss tequila uh when i came back in i posted moss tequila immediately we want to come on so it's
there you listen it's good music so short version long story i grew up in san diego well i lived in san diego as a kid went to the dog races
and uh you know it was supposed to be warm so i didn't wear a jacket my dad tells me wear a
jacket it's gonna be cold i know it's hot you know okay so we get the dog races and uh of course i'm
cold so yeah i'm like 10 12 years old whatever it My dad goes, you want to be warm? I'm like, yeah, I'm cold.
So he goes, here's what you do.
Lick this salt.
What?
Lick the salt, drink this cup of water, and eat the lime, and you'll be warm.
I'm like, no way.
He goes, trust me, you'll be warm.
Do it.
So I lick the salt, throw back the water.
I'm like, oh, my God, that's not water.
You lied to me.
He's like, eat the lime, eat the lime, eat the lime. You the something eat the lime eat the lime eat the lime you gotta eat the lime so i eat the lime
and i'm so mad but you lied to me but you're warm aren't you and i said yeah i'm warm
so tequila is my dream and i quit drinking tequila after that for a long time because i was a kid
but as soon as i was legal maybe a little bit sooner before I was legal. I've always got nice tequila on my birthday,
which I just passed.
People bring me light,
nice tequilas.
I own an event center.
So when my birthday rolls around,
I always get like nice bottles of tequila.
They out,
cause everybody knows that Moss tequila is my thing at,
at our event center at 11 o'clock,
we run Moss tequila.
If I don't run Moss tequila at 11 o'clock,
people go,
Hey,
Serge, what happened to Moss tequila? i don't run moss tequila 11 o'clock people go hey
sir what what happened to moss tequila and then we give out free shots anyway that's my tequila story
yeah i need to come you you you own an event center up in reno no no i'm in uh um uh sacramento
it's a small space okay yeah yeah i got i got sac okay it's 12 000 square feet it's not huge but it's big enough 12 000 square feet is 12 000 yeah that's actually pretty decent size man well
there are much bigger yeah well i'm sure yeah there's much bigger but 12 000 is actually pretty
decent size though yeah i really want to do a crypto launch party there at some point like a
live party and uh we'll get around to that.
Usually, we do weddings and birthdays
and whatever people want to rent the space
for.
We might have to have a crypto event for all the West Coast
people. I think there's plenty of us in here.
Let's do it.
I'm just looking in a room. I can tell
you right off the bat, there's six
people in here that are West Coasters
right now. I can tell you right now. I know it's six. Seven. If we put it together, I'll provide the right off the bat, there's six people in here that are West Coasters right now. I can tell you right now.
I know it's six.
Seven.
If we put it together, I'll provide the space for free.
Nice.
Yeah, we'll definitely do it.
It's nice to own the place.
And just, you know, again, to wrap up my spiel here, I bought the place with crypto.
You bought it with crypto?
I bought in cheap.
I bought in cheap a bunch of stuff.
six years ago.
And then when it all capped out,
I sold.
And then when it bottomed out,
I'd bought it back.
So basically I own the same amount I owned before,
but now I also own this big building.
That's nice,
man.
Awesome,
man.
That's all like hearing that.
You know,
my event space has all my crypto stuff all over the place.
So I'm not crowned on people's throats.
I just wait till they ask me about it.
What's this? What's that?
And then I onboard Norma's that way.
That's pretty cool.
That's actually a really cool way to do it.
Anyway, so, yeah, I want to hear about building community organically because I'm tired of going to spaces where I spend hours in the space and then nothing happens.
because I'm tired of going into spaces where I spend hours in the space
and then nothing happens.
My way of doing it, honestly, it's been really getting around the right people
and kind of following that.
I basically, what I do now in this phase of my life,
is I don't go into spaces that throw shade at people.
So if you're sitting there and they're talking, talking down to people,
I drop right out.
Okay.
Now I don't have a problem.
The host is up there and he's calling somebody out because somebody stepped
out of line or,
you know,
what didn't know protocol.
That's fine.
That's a different,
that's a whole different story.
But when you,
when you're,
when you're hosting a space or you're up on the speaker panel,
you're on,
you're speaking and you start degrading people or talking down to people,
that's when I step out and I don't come back into
your space. I really don't.
I don't have time for it.
Doing what I do, I've got to be kind of a PR guy
all the time. Yeah, exactly.
Right. I came from
HR at PepsiCo and did a lot
of big groups
and that sort of thing. So I'm with it.
Going to a space where the person in charge of the space is just out of line.
I just can't handle it.
I'm not going to bash them in their space or anywhere else,
but I'm just going to step out and not be there.
There's plenty of other spaces.
I can tell you this.
I know most people in this space I've interacted with on one level or another.
I've gone to a space with them online.
I can generally say every single one of these people i'm down with you know i mean that's
like they're they're solid you know there's yeah pretty much most of them in here i've interacted
with at one point not because of their pfp or whatever we've been in spaces together you know
we've got we i've seen i've seen how they've moved you know and kind of hung out with them now and
then i'll just follow and that's how kind of the organic grows and then you kind of hunt out with them now. And then I'll just follow. And that's how kind of the organic grows.
And then you kind of start aligning yourself with like-minded people that
way too.
You know, what's up, man?
Sir, you put up your hand.
What's up?
Now that was an accident.
I was trying to put it down actually.
So someone else could take the mic.
Okay.
Yeah, we're good.
I mean, yeah. Part of growing it organically, honestly, is just being in line with people, not really chasing it.
I think it comes.
And the crazy part about these spaces and even any project, when you're trying to grow it organically, when you're going after calls, we're not trying to shove it down as people throw it.
It takes time, you know, but what happens when this instant gratification world, not economy, that instant, you know, gratification that we forget everything's time. And the part in IRL, it takes time to build your investment. It takes time to build certain habits and everything takes time. And I don't know why there's a psychological turn that happens with a sum turns off in our head when we go into Web 3.
It takes time.
We expect it to happen instantly.
It doesn't happen.
Life doesn't happen instantly.
It takes time to build the right.
And if you want to build, you have to have a good foundation.
I love right now the projects I'm involved in that I'm put on me.
It's Scratch right now, really big.
And obviously Salon and Des.
Those are the two that I hold space for.
I'm a team member and all that.
But they're slow cooks.
But they're really good at the end
because we're building that solid foundation
and bringing the right people around, not rushing it.
And that's why a community builds.
If you build it correctly, people will come
and they'll stick around.
And they're not in it just to make that quick buck in and out and find the next thing.
So, you know, they don't have ADHD where it's like, let's hop to the next, then let's quit.
Boom, boom.
Let's build the relationship.
Let's grow it.
And then who knows where it goes from there?
You know, I'll use that cat right now.
Don't know where other community cats are involved.
But maybe she comes down to project where she comes on space.
Hey, Salt, I'm checking out this project.
Why don't you hop in and check it out?
I go, okay, well, Kat, I know Kat.
It's a credible individual.
She's asking me to hop in and check this out.
I'm more likely, I'm mostly likely going to go hop and check it out.
And build it from there.
Because we've built history.
There's, you know, we've been around each other and those are
some of those that takes time to get there but once you get there and you'll get there with the
right people those are the people that you you know you're right i'm a ride or die kind of guy
so if i get there and i'm riding with you then we're gonna go it's not gonna be next week i'm
gonna change you know i'm hopping on a different bus. No, it's not, it's not how I work, you know? And part of it,
obviously you said you're in your fifties as well.
Our age doesn't a lot of afford us that opportunity to be able to hop on
different buses anymore, man. It's like, you know,
I just want to get on a bus that's comfortable,
find my seat and be cool with it. I'm good. I'm good for the ride.
with it. I'm good. I'm good for the ride.
Just buckle up and I'm good. Give me a pillow.
Give me a pillow and call you the tape, bro.
I love it.
Give me my pillow and a blankie and I'm good.
Right?
I don't have the freaking energy
to keep on going party buses and shit like that.
I just don't, man.
I love that analogy.
I want the senior citizen bus.
You know?
But it's all fun.
I mean, it's cool.
We have a good time.
And, you know, the part about it, honestly, I didn't speak this far, like, for our team, you know, as far as Solana Deads, you know, if it's not a right fit, eventually that individual will get, they'll move out on their own.
Or they'll be encouraged
to move on and it happens okay the part is how you do it do you do it you have to you do it with
dignity okay and that's what's important and i think that's where the growth happens that's where
you see it coming down to and it's not about going out to the rooftop and shout it out from the
rooftop no you
grow organically by just being real with people you know and just being genuine and being the
person a man or woman of integrity those that's important and at some point you know it's like
hey when you shine a light on my life i'm rough around the edges but there's one thing i mean i
don't think you can find anybody around that knows me in IRL
that can say, hey, Salt's ever screwed me on a deal.
It's just not me.
You know, and that's important to me.
And so what I do is when I surround myself with community,
the people in that community, I need them to walk that way.
I need them to be men and women of integrity, you know,
because like I said earlier, you know,
I'm trying to onboard my kids
into this you know messing with my money is one thing messing with my kids money it's a different
ballgame for me you know i i treat that differently you know i'm probably i'm more protective of theirs
than i am of mine you know and that's the part and i think that's as a parent that's how you
should be so when i look into it i'm looking at people who i want to surround myself with that i want to be
able to bring my kids and eventually my wife my wife doesn't want to have anything to do with
crypto which is fine but eventually she will especially my kids go hey look they're going
look what dad just put on our wallet and she's gonna go what hey honey can you get me a wallet
i'm like no hell no i'm not getting you nothing. You know, you're on your own.
You mind if I jump in and speak to integrity for a second? If somebody else wants to talk,
please feel free and just take the mic away from me.
So I was some time ago, I was really heavily into real estate investing. And I had a business partner from the UK who stole
$500,000 from me. Basically, he drained our business account and took my share plus his
with him when he left the country. I was bankrupt and dirt broke because he took everything. I was
left with the debts of all of our investors. And my wife and I took all of our
personal money to pay back all of our investors who invested in us because they invested on my
word. Literally a handshake and a phone call. They would send me $50,000 overnight and know we were
going to take care of it because that's the kind of investors we had and the kind of relationship we
had. So from rock bottom, literally getting my car and my home repossessed and losing half a million dollars to someone I thought was my friend.
I rebuilt from nothing, from nothing, less than nothing, a deep hole to having a really good and amazing life.
And it's just because of that integrity that I believe, the fact people
will send me that kind of money overnight with no paperwork, nothing, spoke to what my obligation
was to them. I could have just declared bankruptcy and not paid them back, but that wouldn't have
been my integrity. My integrity was you shook my hand and I said I would take care of you,
and I did. Left me broke, but all my,
all those people were made whole. They didn't make any profit at that point because my business
partner robbed me. But we're making money for people left and right in real estate. And so they
knew they could just send me money and I'd take care of them. And so when he tapped out with the
rest of the cash, we sold off all the real estate we had, used our personal savings and everything else to pay
everybody back and make sure everybody was whole. That's integrity. I appreciate that in the space.
Sometimes you get in a space where people have integrity, it's obvious, and others who just
sling the bull all day long. And you can smell it. The newbies maybe can't smell it, but we've
been around for a while. We can smell it. We've been in business, and we can smell it. So you guys come up smelling
like roses, as far as I'm concerned.
I appreciate everything you've been saying, and
we could talk for hours
about laws of attraction and
the positive, all these things that I've heard you guys
talk about. And I'm serious
about hosting an event here. I will put up
the space for free if
we can get a few people to lead it
and put the event together here in
Northern California and Sacramento. Oh, no, it's going to happen for sure. Don't worry about that.
We're going to make that happen. Yeah, for sure, for sure, for sure. Now, look,
integrity, I mean, it's like you have to align with yourself, with people that are like-minded, you know, the ethos, you know, transparency, integrity, you know, your word is your bond, your handshake, you know, your handshake needs to mean something, you know.
And that's important.
And what happens with that, too, is I kind of can't get you.
A story similar to yours.
I won't go into it.
That'll be a talk for another day.
But, you know, I had a business partner take me for some serious money too.
You know, while I was dealing with my kid, my kid was having mental health issues.
And, you know, when she was doing self-harm.
And I had to step out of the business for a little while to take care of her.
And my business partner drained the account.
And I had to go back and pay all the creditors and kind of take that on but you know it's look when people trust
you with their capital with their hard-earned money that's important okay there's guys in here
the project so i'll give you a perfect example why i'm in the salon of deads and if you haven't
had an opportunity to actually get in Salon of Deads,
you might want to check it out, check out the project and all that.
There's a couple guys in here, especially this guy down here, Rogue.
You know, Rogue and CryptoStoner, they're part of the team,
so it's clean and so on and so on.
But Rogue is one of the guys, man of a few words,
but he's probably one of the guys that I trust probably a lot in Web3. Like I said, man of a few words, but he's probably one of the guys that I trust probably a lot in Web 3.
Like I said, man of a few words.
I haven't known him for a long time, but I like how he moves.
When he does speak, I know he's a man of integrity.
He's a man of honor.
So when he says something, you know, he's put some thought behind it.
So he's not talking for the sake of talking.
So that's important to me.
I do that.
I talk for the sake of talking. So I don to me i do that i talk for the sake of talking so i don't need somebody else doing that you know but you know so it's like and he's generally wants
to see people win so when you start surrounding yourself with people like that and you start
finding out like what makes them tick oh they want to see people not just them them succeed they want
to see other people succeed okay cool let me invest some more time with these guys.
And then you start weeding out all the, what I call white noise.
You know, you start blocking out a lot of the white noise.
You know, and if you've been in this space long enough,
Mama Bear can attest to this, Papa Bear,
some of these guys have been here for a bit.
There's a lot of freaking white noise in this space.
And tuning it out, it takes some talent sometimes to tune out freaking white noise in this space and tuning it out it's not it takes some six and
talent sometimes to tune out some of the white noise but eventually you you get you kind of get
cued in on it and you're able to do it you know without really having practice honestly it just
becomes like second nature like oh so my nose i move on okay let me gravitate toward the people
that i know are not are not blowing smoke up my ass
they're actually genuine there's no smoke and mirrors they're just kind of telling how it is
i might not like hearing it but i know it's legit it's real it's true and that's the part
you know and that just ties in you know as the growth and how you do it and how we come together
and you start walking with people the
same way it starts you put you start gravitating more people start gravitating towards you because
that because that's how you're operating and the ones that don't they will get weeded out they'll
find they'll be found out it just happens it's like the craziest thing it does happen though
you know they weed themselves out they move themselves out of the way.
You know?
And that's, it's, it's, I don't want to say it's fun, but it is, honestly.
Because you can sit back and go, oh, yeah, that's not going to age well for that person.
But, you know, I'm not going to come out and say it. Because I don't like throwing shade.
But I'm like, I can sit back sometimes and go, yeah, it's not going to work out too well.
But it's not for me.
It's not my place.
You know, you come and ask my opinion, different story.
But I'm not going to throw in my two cents of how I feel about it because I'm not, it's not my position to do so, you know.
And I'm not responsible for you.
I'm responsible for the four people under my roof.
And if you don't fall in that that's kind of that's i don't
need to speak into you come and ask for my advice i'll give it to you you know but in the same token
those four people under my roof their opinion matters to me more than anybody else on this planet
okay and if you're if you're if you're a husband wife wife, a parent, those are the opinions that need to matter the most to the people that are your immediate family, that call you, that are there under your roof.
Those are the opinions that matter.
Everything else is kind of irrelevant, to be honest with you.
And I don't say that to be an ass.
I don't say that to be anything.
Love most of you guys in here. I don have an issue anybody you guys but my wife's opinion
supersedes any of you guys's opinion and same with my kids and if they if at any point your
opinion because takes goes ahead of theirs there's some some fundamental wrong of what i do and how
i'm operating.
You know, and that's kind of how, that's how I see it, you know?
Amen, brother. Right, right. There you go. Left, left.
No, man. You know, and that's what I love about the Tuesday and Thursday spaces that you host and when dope's here too, that we have these deep, you know, these talks about life experience and how, you know, just how we see things or how we handle, you know, our situations.
And it's so good for all of us to share that and see, you know, that we, again, to the energy thing, we do all have a lot of the um like-minded or
similar energies vibrations and frequencies and i think that's why we all do kind of you know keep
collecting and getting larger and larger uh in the community that we're building uh because we are
seeing that you know we talk about it in the green pill collective and all of the projects in there
but you know that there's room for all of us to eat. Doesn't matter how many projects are there, how many other businesses are together. Really,
it's actually a place for us all to build bigger, build larger and expand our communities by
collabing together. But it also comes with a lot of different worldviews of different philosophies,
different experiences. I think it's amazing because it causes all of us to think outside
of our own boxes.
You know, and a lot of us are nonjudgmental. And if someone wants to believe or feel a certain way
on their thing, a lot of us are like, that's awesome. I'm glad that works for you. Because
a lot of the time, it's good energy things still. So I love just that we can have these talks and
hear your experiences and your journey and you know what what's important to you and how you
move. We hear mama bear and papa bear all the time talking about moving with intention
uh and i you know that's something that we can always see that you're doing and i love it
yeah you know the good part too is like look we're so early in this whole crypto deal
you know i mean especially now i mean i don't know if you guys have been paying attention to
news you know what they've been talking about, the 401Ks,
to start opening that whole arena to crypto.
Okay?
And the amount of capital that will come through that.
Okay?
They're basically saying about $300 billion.
Okay, yes, I did say B.
Okay?
I think it was $300 if i remember correct crypto you can
correct me i know it wasn't 30 billion i thought it was more than 30 billion might have been 300
billion but 30 billion just say it's 30 billion okay coming in i mean just that's that wave of
money coming in it needs to find a home somewhere those people need to find communities that they can jump into. Where I go to,
you know, and I need that they can be protected at, you know, and what better deal to go into
like the Green Pill Collective is a lot of these projects that are in that community, in that
collective, you know, I really believe in the next 12 months, you know, with that, with the
Matt, like right now with the green pill
collective what's it about roughly what 30 projects on there or so is that about right crypto
yeah we have uh 32 i believe projects currently or 30 projects uh in the
okay what's today today is august 14th right okay a year from now you guys can come back to this okay we're at 32 projects in the green
collective okay i would not be surprised if by this time next year we're close to 90
okay because here and here's why i say that is there's plenty of products out there that are
gonna that are trying to do it on their own that are that do our online the ethos and how they
operate and how they move our online to where all the products are under under the greenfield
collective but they're looking for home and they don't know about it yeah they don't know that
there's a space there's an ecosystem that kind of has been put in place that started that actually can they can walk into you know and be supported
and i think as time goes on more and more get the name gets out there because i don't know anything
about the green collective until about like two months ago maybe three months ago or so
so there's other people out there that are going to be in the same boat,
but as that community ecosystem grows and expands,
it's going to be able to welcome more people in.
And it's just going to allow us to all be one big family.
The family is going to get bigger and bigger.
We're going to be able to tap into more resources
where things are going to happen, you know,
that it's going to be, okay,
you don't know about the Green Bill Collective? What's going on? What's wrong with that? It's going to be, I can't believe
you're in Web 3 and don't know about the Green Pill Collective. That's how
I see it and the projects that are in it. So we're early
and it's going to be fun and if you stick around and you still move with
intention and you move with integrity and purpose, you're only going to get
blessed in this space because at the time your scammers are going to be booted to the curb they're going to get kicked
to the curb at some point it's just it's it's bound to happen we're seeing that more and more
they've lost they've lost traction if you see that more and more are being called on the carpet now
than ever before unless i'm missing it right i think there's More and more just you know that is just
Being getting out and we're not seeing as much of it
Right now
Or am I off in that am I right
Crypto I mean I'm not seeing like as much
As the scamming happening right now
Either I'm tunnel vision
I think I'm going to be honest with that
I think there's still a lot of it
Here's what I'm noticing though because you're not
The first person to say that recently I think our algorithms still a lot of it. Here's what I'm noticing, though, because you're not the first person to say that recently. I think our algorithms and our timelines have started to stop in like being involved or interacting with any of those things that a lot of the KOL stuff has kind of just disappeared from our direct line of sight. And because I've known, you know, I still monitor, you know,
the people that I have deemed or called out as scammers in the past
and have bring awareness to those things when I got into Web3,
they are still almost just as popular.
And it's wild to see how many new Web3 people will still fall right into
those top trending spaces that have you know
botted channels and stuff but i do think that we are seeing a lot less of it in our world because
we do have so many projects now around us that want that same thing and want to win together or
grow together um it's our timelines just don't see it anymore but it is still out there because
we're trying to you know i get a lot of people hitting me up hey i'm i'm actually from you know
this community and i'm trying to kind of distance myself i just had one the other day basically one
of the communities that's a big cabal out here um you know some girl was trying to start a project
and stuff and basically they told her if it's not our project get the hell out of here and you know that's that stuff i hate and so she hit us up through uh actually shout out
to fab he's one of the he's always in spaces but he had actually directed someone to us um that's
trying to get away from one of those uh kind of negative uh um negative spaces or negative
communities so it's still out there unfortunately okay So I'm just not coming up on my timeline then, which I'm okay with then.
No, I think that's important. I think that's how we do it because what happens is those,
those organizations, projects, accounts, they all get so much traction, but the more that we
stop interacting and creating our own ecosystem of timelines and projects that we all trust and like,
it really does start to pull away from the amount of attention they get. And like you said, in a
year from now, people won't be running into that when they come into Web3, because I think we will
create that space that people do know when they come in, even if it's just a project that's safe,
that project's still going to lead them to also the GPC so people can
have more safe projects to get into with. So I think 100%, like you're saying, we are seeing it
less. It's in our world right now. And I think over that year, we're going to expand that to
where people come into Web3, learning that there is a safe and a not safe space to kind of hop in.
Yeah, man. It's some good times right now look i'm just glad i'm
i'm into the projects that i'm involved in i really am i mean i'm fortunate you know in the
sense that i didn't have to go through the licks like a lot of people had to i mean i took my licks
but mine were like short and quick so i wasn't as bad as a lot some some other people have had to
and i've been i was just fortunate that I landed with some really good people,
you know,
and now it'd be able to kind of just,
I don't,
I think I can decipher through some of the nonsense now.
So it's like good.
And like you said,
you know,
if you're on these different projects,
you kind of don't see,
come across a lot of the BS on the timeline.
You don't,
I just,
I really don't.
I mean,
which is cool.
I'm good with that.
You know, I get to see good stuff now.
You know, so.
Yeah, man.
You know, that's what it's about.
CryptoStoner, he hit the nail on the head.
Like, it's about turning people's timelines from the fake, botted content that is made to manipulate and persuade you to the organic stuff that is meant to bring you into a real community that uplifts you and helps you learn.
That's literally what Solana did.
That's how it started was the founders, Levels and Rogue.
They saw potential in a lot of community members,
people that were interested in their project. And that's where I came from. You know, they lifted me
up as a community member. And that's what, you know, we're continuing to do every day. We're
always keeping our eyes open for people that are going hard, you know, organically that want to see
the right products and projects get out there, you know. And so that's what it's about, lifting each other up,
collabing with the right projects,
getting the word out there and changing those timelines.
And it's going to become exponential.
You know, those 32 projects,
they're all going hard for the Green Pill Collective.
I know Solana did, we love the Green Pill Collective, you know,
and that's just going to get bigger and bigger and bigger.
And eventually the other forces that are paying for all these bots to manipulate people,
they're going to have to put out more and more money just to keep going.
And, you know, eventually it's going to snowball both directions,
down for them and up for the people that are really here to do things the right way.
So, you know, I'm proud to be part of Solana Deads and the Greenkill Collective.
You know, we do things differently here.
There's an announcement up top about us just hitting over 25% minted.
And, you know, we've never done these paid promotions with KOLs or anything strange.
You know, we've just done organic community building the whole time.
And, you know, we're building tools, utilities.
building tools, utilities. We actually deliver. We're transparent about it. We don't sit there
We actually deliver.
We're transparent about it.
and make people FOMO for months until, you know, they are paying attention constantly to you,
some of the tactics some of these other people use. So yeah, you know, just again, I'm proud to
be part of this community. It grows every day. You know, I see people joining our community,
other projects within the Green Pill Collective daily, daily and and you know turning from the dark side to the light side so to speak
So it's a beautiful thing
No, for sure for sure now i'm still trying to figure out to on a total different note who the heck minted all those
Desk yesterday man
Somebody like went nuts. There was like 200 of them got minted yesterday. Am I right?
Somebody like went nuts. There was like 200 of them got minted yesterday. Am I right?
Yeah, yeah. So basically the Treasury never fully minted its allocation.
So it did have a lot of that to do. So it went in and did one big shot on a lot of those.
But, you know, that is right after we had all of the buy three, get one spots claimed.
get one spots claimed so um yeah we just had a wave of them come at once and that was nice um
So, yeah, we just had a wave of them come at once.
uh to see a lot of people you know have gotten gotten uh their free mints from the buy three
get ones and that helped push them up to various tiers to where you know now they got more free
merch they've got the the higher roles in discord so um but yeah it's it's beautiful man seeing you
know seeing basically um you know the community just grinding and everybody,
everybody understanding the goal too, that, hey, we're, we all are part of it.
You know, every time we comment on that project's post, like it's helping that project, you
know, hitting that, like that bookmark button, you know, that makes a difference.
And yeah, I see everybody, literally everybody I'm looking at in this room right now.
They all go above and beyond as community members.
So we're doing something very right over here.
I like it.
What's up, sir?
Sergey.
Sergey.
I was just supporting what you guys are saying.
Okay, cool
Right on, right on
Well, that's kind of
Jeez
That's so funny
I guess it helps to have the mic on
To when I'm talking
I'm like just yapping
I realized, oh, I muted myself
Anyone else wants to share I'm gonna i'm gonna kind of
wrap it up today it wasn't gonna be a long space you know but someone's come up share it throwing
to you know maybe your input on what growing a community organic look it means to you
you know i mean i'm i'm totally game I'm totally open to it. What's up, Ham?
I was going to say, you know, on that note, the other post up top that is pinned, it's on our banner contest.
You know, so, you know, tons of our community members are making art every single day.
We see it constantly, amazing stuff. And we were looking at the Salon of Dead's banner and decided, hey, we need some fresh, you know, we need a fresh banner for the page.
So we started this contest where every community member can put a banner in, you know, try to get the bragging rights for it.
And the best part of it is on our website, we have our content generator.
So even if you don't have graphic design skills, you're not somebody, you don't have an app that you know how to use or anything you can go right to our website you can start
building out a banner build some content there's even some deads you can use on
there with the background already out so you literally can paste it where you
need it make a banner throw it on there and this is gonna be just another way
that you know we can give some community members a spotlight so yeah I just
wanted to you know get that out there community members a spotlight um so yeah i just wanted to
you know get that out there and let everybody know hey if you if you're interested in designing
or just want to take part in something fun like go design a banner do it in a few minutes drop
it in the comments there so that people can check out oh so i can't get out of it can't make any
excuses huh like yeah i'm not i'm not that creative no graphic disney i can't get out of it. Can't make any excuses, huh? Like, I'm not that creative. No graphic. I can't get around that.
We gave ideas and Rogue, of course, in a day, you know, he just built a crazy tool that for the community to go use to create, you know, the banners for themselves, content for their timeline, GMGN posts.
So, you know, I definitely encourage people checking it out, but no pressure.
Yeah, I'm telling you, man, we're fortunate.
I mean, I'm looking in here.
I'm like, I got D-Bro in here.
bro in here we got rogue i mean good lord you know having these two on projects i mean these
We got Rogue.
I mean, good Lord.
projects just freaking cracked you know with these two guys right and and with the green
pull collective you know it's damn man i'm telling you toshi as well i mean there's somebody i mean
seriously there's some talented people in right now in in the collective they really really are
you know from a deaf side from you know even
from speed creators you know builders i mean space house whatever you want to call it content
creators got actually really impressed with that with the amount of knowledge that's in that
collective and you know the amount of insight that's there you know in the wellness for everybody
kind of work together you know so it's not like, hey, I'm going to one up you.
It's like, how do we work together to actually grow this thing, you know, and not just grow, you know, your project, but how do we grow these other projects too?
Let's grow together, which is awesome.
What's up, sir?
So this time I actually want to say something.
I know you're going to wrap up.
So I just want to thank you all for being so welcoming to your community.
I really appreciate it.
A bunch of you followed me. think i followed everyone back and i try to always add a comment when i follow just to help the algorithm too so i
appreciate that very much and i i also added on some alerts for some of the folks here that
had some really cool stuff to say so thank you very much for having me i appreciate you
no no worries man thanks for pulling up. Appreciate you, brother.
I'm good.
If anybody has...
Go ahead.
Sorry.
I was just going to say, I appreciate you coming up, Serge.
Liked some of the thoughts you were sharing.
It seems like you're kind of on the same page with us with what you want to see in the space. You know, we we a lot of us truly believe in blockchain decentralization,
what it can do for our lives. And we were really playing our part in things being a healthy
ecosystem with growth that are that people can come to learn things, grow, not just lose instantly,
get a sour taste and decide they're going to leave so i'm glad you
came up it's uh nice to meet you i threw you that follow back and hope to see us some more
be the change you want to see right
ashe exactly be an example something that i was told a long time ago uh by one of my best friends
and uh you know a spiritual guide for me, Moss. You guys
have heard him on spaces before, too. But he always he told me one time he's like, be an example,
like be an example of how you want others to be or, you know, be example, an example of the person
that you say that people should be type thing. And so I think of that a lot. I'm always trying to
present the energy that I either want to receive or want to be perceived as because I want to, you know, be perceived as a good person, someone that wants to help others and lift people up.
So I love that.
Crypto, is that Mossimo you're saying when you say Moss?
No, no.
It's actually my roommate's name is Moss.
Oh, gosh. OK. Sorry.
No, no, you're good. But I know what you're talking about, too.
So, you know, it's but yeah, it's just it's about, you know, being an example or, you know, putting out the energy that you would like to receive back into the universe.
And it truly works. It truly happens. You just have to actually like, you know, put that energy and that that faith that, you know, you being a positive person also attracts a positive energy and positive vibrations around you.
Thanks, Salt. I appreciate you hosting the space as always for us.
Oh my pleasure man
My pleasure I like who pulls up
I just like what everybody has to share honestly
I just got that whoever needs to be here
Tonight is who showed up
That's how I kind of look at it so I appreciate
It being pulled up you know
We got Triller Sam over there
Patiently waiting for down under what's going on
Brother
Give me a second jet flying
What happened
He said there's a jet Flying over, but I could hear, like,
sound like I was playing Battlefield 6.
Yeah, I'm working next to the Amberley Air Force Base,
so all the jets in the AC-130s are taking off at the moment.
It's pretty crazy.
But, yeah, no, I just popped up.
I was going to take over the space like you took over mine.
We had a pretty good space, and I didn't want to interrupt anyone's perfectly good space.
I just come here to show me support, say thank you and do a little bit of a shameless plug for MySpace tomorrow morning.
But apart from that, I'm just here to show support and growing organically.
It's all, I think we talk about a lot in Salon of Dead, it's just 1% better every day.
We all grow together. Rome wasn't built in a day nor was it built by one person so that's all i want to say and yeah just really are bullish and great to have such a great
community um but yeah that's all i wanted to say hey do you have your space scheduled for tomorrow
yeah mate i see you haven't set your reminder what's good with that eh no i'm joking yeah i
got this face posted i was gonna oh yeah no crypto shared it to the top already thank you yeah i know
i just saw that right when i said that bro i should have just slowed my rule because right
like literally i started saying i saw i saw you put it up there already you know okay there you
go quick as you're on the west baby you know yeah we'll go we'll go we'll roll with that one you know
him and jake yeah i think j Jake is a quicker draw than Sam.
But Jake's kind of more quiet about it than Sam.
Oh, yeah.
The shot's being fried, bro.
It's all good, bro.
It's all good.
You know, I mean, hey, it's good.
You know, you want to come up?
It's all, you know, don't nut up.
I mean, you know, I mean, you got to back it up.
So I got to pick on somebody. Dope didn't even show up today.
Yeah, I was going to be a little
punching bag for today, but you didn't even mention me once.
I feel a bit upset.
That's all good, man. You know,
I got it.
You know, today I'm just trying to be positive.
There you go. I'm trying to be positive now.
Turn new leaf. You know, I don't want you to have to. There you go. I'm trying to be positive now, turn new, leave, you know.
I don't want you to have to deal with your inner
child anymore and have to go get,
you know, help and all that. I just don't need that
right now, you know, so I'm
just trying to be able to be an encourager,
you know, so lift
you up. I want you to
leave feeling uplifted,
you know, that you came on the space, that you stayed
up and all that you know
oh no it's daytime over there so you're not staying up but right what time is it over there

listening in the background yeah there you go yep so it's late at you when you're when you're
hosting spaces is when it's late for you because that's like what two two in the morning
right yeah so the um we start our space it's 11 p.m over here and it goes yeah 1 a.m 2 a.m yeah
yeah so there you go so that that's what it is okay well thank you for making that sacrifice
since most of us are over here on eastern time we're not on aussie time you know so i appreciate
you making that sacrifice and
hosting a space when it's convenient for us out here so thank you very much
no that's okay i gotta do my part for the uh salina deads the um definitely one of the best
communities and obviously been supporting jake and i um so we've obviously got to support them
and show our support and the gpc and all that i love it and it's great it's definitely um helped
me with my web3 journey being part of the gpc and the deads and all that. I love it. And it's great. It's definitely helped me with my web three journey, being part of the GPC and the deads and all that.
So yeah,
definitely going to do my part.
And Sergei,
we are this way all the time.
So it's not just because you're in this space.
We are,
we really do this in all of the spaces.
So if you hop in this space tomorrow morning,
you'll hear us the same way.
Just going to be some Aussie hosting it though.
So you might not understand everything he says and and he might say a couple offensive words,
but it's usually that's kind of the love language
over there. Yeah, I've heard
the language, and I know
you guys all lined this up just to sucker me in, right?
All of you.
Thank you for that effort. I appreciate
it. No worries, man.
It's all good. We're good. It's all
for you. It's all staged just for you.
Yeah, we're really good at synchronized swimming. You should see us. All the world is a stage. We did it all for you. It's all staged just for you. Yeah, we're really good at synchronized swimming.
You should see us.
All the world is a stage.
We're all but bit players.
There you go.
Yep.
Especially our Aussie-African guy over there, you know?
Don't forget Serbian, mate.
Aussie-African-Serbian.
Oh, dude, jeez.
Who can't?
Serbian, too? Yeah, me mom's Serbian. Oh, dude, jeez. Who can't... Serbian, too?
Yeah, me mom's Serbian.
Serbian, Croatian.
Me dad's African, but I was born here, so I like to say I'm Australian more than anything.
Yeah, there you go. Damn, bro.
Yeah, that's an interesting
combo, bro.
Oh, yeah.
Definitely, the temper can get out of control
sometimes with the Serbian,Croatians fighting each other
But apart from that, it's not too bad
Yeah
Yeah
Who wins, the Serbian or the Croatian side of you?
What was that, sorry?
I said who wins, the Serbian or the Croatian side of you?
You said Serbian-Croatian
It's like a stalemate 100% of the time I just stop arguing with myself most of the time I said, who wins, the Serbian or the Croatian side of you? You know, you said Serbian, Croatian.
It's like a stalemate 100% of the time.
I just stop arguing with myself most of the time.
Sam, did you hear Mort's come up on MySpace the other day?
The other fam from Aussie?
Yeah, I heard Mort's come up.
He's good.
I love Mort's.
I love him in Dix as well. Bro, he was out in Dubai. in dubai he's like i gotta go my wife's waiting for me on a yacht
we'll see you later bud yeah i've seen that he's over there living life in dubai but
he's back here he's back in australia now in this shitty cold weather so yeah
that's crazy he said he's gonna try and come out in february when you guys come out so
and for those of you guys that don't know uh sam and jake are working on figuring out getting out
here to vegas uh in uh february so we can hit up the slopes hit some snowboarding sessions and uh
have some vibes while they're here so but mort's also said he's like i'm gonna try and be out there
in february so you know we
could have a whole aussie hangout maybe we just turn it into an aussie party in the u.s you know
i'm saying okay you guys pull it off i'll make it up there i bet i hope you better get your skis
or your snowboard wax sir no i know i haven't snowboarded in decades so i'll probably have
to go all over into it again but show up, I'll show up.
Well, crypto is actually an instructor, so he can give you some lessons.
Exactly.
There you go.
That's what I'm saying.
You guys make it out here in February.
I'll go up there, too.
I'm five hours from you, bro, so it's not that big of a deal for me.
Shit, I might pack up the boys and just take us to Big Bear.
You never know.
Maybe we'll just meet
at a good spot yeah you know if you want to do that i mean what do you got up there where you're
at though do for snow that's that's what i'm trying to figure out where like in vegas what
do you got let me tell you how how blessed we are to be honest with you okay so we because we're out
in vegas it's 110 during the summer but there's a's called lee canyon that is 53 minutes from my house
and in 53 minutes i can be at the 9 000 elevation base of a mountain and there is three
and about 36 runs that i can take and even on a bad year of snow because the elevation is so high
we still usually like last season was one of our worst seasons on
record. I was still able to go twice a week every day for the winter. So it's crazy. But it's one
of those things Vegas kind of has everything somehow, you know, not just the strip where it's
like cultures from all over the world and different foods and amazing cuisine and, you know, Cirque du
Soleil with amazing acts from different cultures. You know, we actually have
like a mountain that gets snow and we have a really amazing dirt biking trail up there. So
for people that like to do aggressive dirt bike type stuff, or, you know, pedal dirt bike, like
the mountain biking up there, those they have crazy runs for people in the summer too. So
it's pretty wild. I'm very thankful because you know, there's very out of all the stuff we have and the
heat that we experience um to be able to still touch snow or be close is it's really quite amazing
but you don't have the ocean that is my biggest sadness and so the one thing that i'll tell you
because you said that my wife and i one of the things that we want to do down the road is we
want to travel like sprinter van type thing and we just want to travel but we were talking about that's
exactly what we need because we want to do vlog and you guys know i do snowboard content in the
winter um so with all of that we want to be able to go somewhere where we can surf during the day
or like surf in the morning and then go hit some snow in the same day Cause there's multiple
Oh dude then you gotta come down to Orange County
Yeah that's one of the places that we could do it
So like
Yeah cause you can go totally down out of Dana Point
Newport Beach all that
Honeyton I'm down
I'm not that far from either one of those
And then you can turn around two hours
You're up in Big Bear
You wanna hear something crazy Saul
I got married at the top of Dana Point
No you did not.
Come on, bro.
I'm going to be there in two weeks.
Yeah, dude.
Dana Point's where my wife and I got married overlooking the ocean at the top of like a park.
Oh, beautiful place.
Yeah, Dana Point.
Beautiful.
Yeah, it was an amazing wedding, bro.
Yeah, dude.
Oh, yeah.
That's funny.
Yep, that's where I'm at.
Yes, I do live in Southern California. I am very spoiled. I live in Orange County. I'm fortunate. I'm blessed beyond. I am very blessed. I am a blessed man. I really am. You know, I mean, I, and aside from my health, I, I, you know, I have a wife that as far as just money morning she still loves me after 30 years i got three awesome
daughters you know and um unfortunately i have you know i have my health you know i mean i do
have some obviously just trials and tribulations just like everybody else does you know just call
it's called life you know life is something that we have to live daily that's all it is
you know we just had we get to choose how we live it, though.
Tricky Buddha's coming back in.
I'm going to bring him up again.
You know, but that's kind of part.
That would be so much fun.
I'll totally do that. If you come down,
we'll figure it out. Maybe we'll hit
the beach and go hit the slopes.
And if we want to hit the slopes, I can get you
settled in Big Bear. I have friends of mine
that own cabins up at Big Bear.
They'll totally take care of you.
You can stay actually in a cabin, warm, water, heat, everything.
And you can stay and crash up there for a couple days.
And it'll be totally on me.
Nothing out of pocket for you.
It's Tricky Buddha.
It's Tricky Buddha.
I wanted to interrupt because Tricky Buddha
threw me some free...
Tricky Buddha threw me some free weed tokens
recently, so I just wanted to interrupt
and say, hey, thanks for throwing me the free weed tokens.
You're a trooper.
Good to your word. All that kind of good stuff.
Big Bear. I grew up around Big Bear and spent a lot of time there
as a kid, so good fun.
Anyway, Tricky Buddha!
I love to ski. I was going to say something else,
but yeah. I mean, I've been sending out
so many giveaways. It's been funny
though. Doing them in little batches
here and there. You know, I keep
burning through like $10 a soul real fast.
You know, but I mean, I wonder
how many walls we got now though. I got to check.
Because we were like
at 680 or something like that when we started.
And we were at like 240 market cap.
And now we're like double the market cap and 40% more holders.
And all the accounts are getting three times the impressions.
And monetized automatically now.
There's three times the impressions going to Genius Spothead now. And that one's monetized automatically now. There's three times the impressions go into Genius Pothead now.
That one's monetized, so it gets paid out.
There wasn't a lot of money.
It went from $20 to $100, but still, that's $100.
My monetization got suspended a few months back whenever they suspended like 77 percent of
users or monetized users yeah that was crazy so many people like a lot of good people that i know
like got their their shit revoked and i don't understand the reasoning behind it um
i don't really pay a lot i am like 120 people shy of not having to pay for a gold check at all.
I have like a blue premium plus at all because I'll have like 50,000.
Once you have 5,000 verified followers, they give you like a blue plus.
Once you get like – it used to be 2,500.
I think they – I heard they moved it down to 1,900, but I can either confirm or deny that right now.
What do you mean they give you a plus are you saying like a check mark or they give you
there's like five
levels of verification right
there's like not verified there's the three
dollar one there's like the
well they upped everything but there's like the basic
basic one there's like the premium and then there's
the premium plus and then there's the
commercial like the gold check and then there's the premium plus, and then there's the commercial, like the
gold check. And then there's like
Elon's status, whatever he has.
Five minutes of
gotcha, gotcha. 300 million views.
Oh, that's interesting.
We've been in a couple spaces
recently, man. They just got botted out.
All of a sudden, there's just a swarm of bots.
Yeah, I saw that. I was in one of those spaces
you were in, and I saw, I think that was
CryptoStoner space, if I'm not mistaken.
We had 23,000.
Almost 24,000 people come through the space?
I don't think so.
We're not that popular.
I've got a Lord friend circle.
Right?
It's like every one of our followers showed up.
Nice.
Pretty impressive.
It's possible.
Unlikely.
Unlikely. You guys have similar followers. it's possible unlikely unlikely
you guys might have
the same followers
but it's all good
I'm up 35% on followers
from a little under 10k last year
to over 13.5 now
good lord
yeah
yeah see I'm just
I guess I need to spend more time
on that whole deal. I just don't.
You know, I just kind of figure whatever.
What's going to follow is going to follow.
It depends on what you're doing, right?
If you want to push a project or you're a brand ambassador,
it's different, right? That's like my scenario.
I'm a founder and I'm doing lots of things
in the space, so it's poor man's
advertising. The right way to do it
is what thecentral Bros
has got going on right now.
You just get a gold check
and you got all this credit
for marketing.
You actually use real ad space.
Those get way better views.
Yeah, I think that's honestly
the best deal for the time
and everything.
Or you can automate
with like Hype Fury
or Hyper Fury. Hype Fury or Hyper Fury.
Hype Fury, yeah.
But what I was going to say earlier, so, um, you said
you got your health, like you're in good health
or you have some health issues?
No, I'm actually in pretty good health.
That's, that's one. I'm fortunate.
The one thing that I did that I, that I just recently didn't stop is I was a smoker for over 30 years.
And I reached I stopped smoking in April, April 21st.
Actually, crazy part.
April 21st at 516 p.m. was the last time it was my last smoke.
And I don't smoke anything.
I don't smoke cigars, weed, cloves.
I used to smoke cloves and I used to smoke cigarettes.
And then the other stuff too and the cigars.
So all that stuff.
And it was based on, I gave my oldest daughter my word that I'd quit by my 54th birthday.
So my wife always bust my chops.
She's like, I wish you would have made that commitment. Like when years ago,
I said,
yeah,
well at that point,
I go,
nobody was asking like,
I go,
she's like,
I was asking you to quit.
I said,
well,
I go,
you know,
my kids asking me to quit is different than my wife asked me to quit.
And I wasn't being a jerk.
I'm just,
I was just being real.
You know,
my oldest one said,
Hey dad,
I never asked,
never said anything to me about smoking before.
She goes,
have you thought about quitting? I said, not really. I mean, well, well, you know, I never asked, never said anything to me about smoking before. She goes, have you thought about quitting?
I said, not really.
I mean, well, you know, I got, I don't necessarily like, it's a habit for me.
It's not like I enjoy it, really.
But she goes, well, what would it take for you to quit?
I said, maybe you asking me.
She goes, really?
I said, yeah.
So she asked her, can you quit smoking?
I said, okay.
That was really, that's really the discussion.
That's all I came down to and I just did.
And by God's mercy, I've been stressed about it.
I've been feigned for it.
I'm around it.
It doesn't bother me like I thought it would, you know?
So I just, I guess maybe psychologically, I would just prep myself for it. But yeah, I've been, I was a smoker since I was 14. So actually it. But yeah, I was a smoker since I was 14.
So actually almost for 40 years I was a smoker.
That's crazy.
I didn't start smoking until I was like a month before 18.
And it was just – I was always allergic to tobacco.
And the weed's less than 25%.
I'm coughing too.
So I have a smoke allergy.
Okay.
I have an energy allergy. I'm basically like i should be a bubble boy but those things are expensive yeah but i i heard i heard you shared out the encrypto space so too
i think you went through some some health stuff but you're on the other side of it though you
figure out some things and you basically kind of work through that right yeah um i mean kind of like so crohn's disease is autoimmune disease and i got a bunch of other
issues but that was like the main thing that was really just like locking me like in bed
and like leaving me like hunched over in pain and um yeah i just i started playing with all
these different herbs uh and now i make like a tea it's been like two years a little over two
years maybe making it kind of like perfecting the recipe and stuff like a tea it's been like two years a little over two years maybe making it
kind of like perfecting the the recipe and stuff like that so there's an energy and a sleep one
but they're both have like the same base ingredients it was like 16 different herbs
some chinese medicine and some something like you know herbs from all over the world really
it's pretty cool that's right yeah i dm'd you about that that's that okay i'm like it's coming
around dude there's been it's been a kind of a crazy week.
But I do remember. Yes. I sent you a DM about the tease.
That's right. Where you and I were supposed to chop it up outside.
Yeah. I do remember now.
Yeah. It's it's you know, time moves fast and it's real quick that all of a sudden you're like, oh, I never got back to that person.
Yeah.
Yesterday from two months ago, I was like, oh dude, I'm so sorry.
You were behind the 65
group message.
Yeah, no.
That's cool, man.
By all means,
add me to your message group, but don't be upset
when I leave with my mom's profile.
Because, like, you know,
she don't... No, I'm good, bro.
I'm totally good but like I was trying to get my mom's account monetized and it like I was just
having a lot of issues with it but it's an old account and now I made it alien
overlord broadcasting and it's got like 20 500 followers, including Gary Vee,
and I don't know if I got Carmen Electra to follow or not in the end.
They're following my main account.
Dang.
That's funny.
But that was a funny trip.
Yeah, for sure, for sure.
We had a couple of...
Has anyone talked to Rileyiley from like the v friends
in a while you guys know what i'm talking about kind of just disappeared
i'm not tied in with that whole thing mama bear might be in there more about it than i
yeah the v the whole v trends all that i never got really into it be honest with you
yeah i i mean i liked um
it was one of those situations where i was like well if they're into gary v
they're there's a good possibility they're gonna vibe with me um we basically are saying the same
shit like i got my watch one is one of his like video clips i'm just like i was like yes like
that's like the obvious answer but he puts it it so, so like honest and well that, you know, that's where success comes from, truly, right?
But I'll find people who have like, they're kind of doing or saying similar things that I am.
And then I'll go like on this app you follow when you're on a mobile phone and you follow someone.
It says like follow all.
It's all the accounts that work well associated with that account.
So those are all potential like followers is where I look at it.
But you want to do that on people who you think are alike your profile, and then you can get more and more followers that way.
Or also just end up following a bunch of people that don't care about you.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, like I said, it's all's all different though if you're building a brand
right if you're here just collecting sure absolutely there you go yeah it's different
it's a completely different purpose um i am broke and trying to figure out how i can how i can get
every little trick squeeze every little bit of free marketing out of this algorithm and i'm you
know i'll do it i'll figure out the tricks and the rules i love
like uh like law analysis like like it's really fun going into a new video game you know and
figuring out all the different aspect ratios and like just how how the movement works i'm a nerd
and i like numbers that's funny that whatever works right i mean that's kind of part of the deal is like what
works for you you know what you want to do your your end goal you know is what you have to focus
on regardless what everybody else else is doing right you know yeah mine this is about the extent
of it i like hosting spaces kind of getting a couple different spaces you know getting the
creative side that's not me you know i i can all day long. I have no problem jaw jacking, you know, people,
but it's like, get me behind, like to sit there. Can you create something built? I'm
like, that's not, that's not me. That's not my strength. You know? So I don't, I don't
protect, I don't get into that kind of playground. You know, I know my lane and I, I'm pretty
good at staying in it. I hear lots of good things about you though.
Oh, well, I appreciate that. That's cool. I'm glad staying in it you know i hear lots of good things about you though oh well i appreciate that that's cool i'm glad that somebody you know i'm paying them whoever's telling you i i'm kicking them back man some stuff so you know am i so whoever it is i gotta pay him
some more than i'm just me you know honestly that that's at the end of the day that's like
part of the other i I'm not for everybody.
I'm not.
And I know that.
So, and I'm okay with that, you know.
But I just kind of show up and you know what?
We're good, you know.
One thing I want to do, and this is kind of just how I operate.
If I have to say something, I say it directly to you.
You don't have to hear it through the grapevines.
That's how I kind of my deal is, you know it might you might rub you the wrong way but at the end of the day you know it's
like where it's coming from you know i don't sugarcoat it i kind of just hit for the jugular
you know i try to be a little more gracious in my delivery though my delivery used to suck before
it's gotten a little bit better over time i still have i still have plenty of room for improvements but it is what it is what you see is what you get you know and some people like that
some people don't i agree with everything you just said for the same yeah you know yeah you
just find out where you get in but yeah no you're you're good at this you got a nice space here
like some great people so clearly you're doing something right that's you know what it was is because crypto cash showed up crypto showed up you know and then
everybody's like hey we need to go in there and then that's how that's what happened then ham
came in you know and then he brought rogue and kind of all kinds of stuff you know it's all
because of these guys if i was just stepping by myself would just be me talking to myself
here i thought you guys said you staged it just talking about myself, it would just be me talking to myself.
Here, I thought you guys said you staged it just for me. Now I'm all sad.
Hey, talk good, bro.
You know, I mean, you know,
we tell so many different stories,
we lose track after a while.
You know, that happens with age, you know.
You can't remember. That's the part
of it, too. It's like, somebody said something to me,
said, look, you know what? As I get
older, I'm going to get my stories mixed up.
So I just rather say the truth and don't have to worry about what I said later.
You know, it's like, yeah, that's about right.
You know, that would be something I would say.
And I just make a lot easier that way.
And it's like, well, OK, you know, I tell my guys that work for me.
I said, if you want to if you want me to tell if you want to hear the truth, you come to me.
If you don't want to hear the truth, go talk to somebody else.
Yeah.
And they're like, what do you mean by it?
I'm not going to sugarcoat it.
If your performance sucks, I'm going to tell you in a gracious way.
I used to just tell them, but now I have to be a little more.
Especially in California, I got to handle everybody with white gloves
and just make sure that their inner child's okay
and item fracture their inner child and they don't have to go see a mental health therapist and all
that stuff it's totally different now catch more flies with uh honey than vinegar i guess is that
yeah you can yeah it said you catch more bees with honey than you do with vinegar why would
you catch bees with honey because like they make their own honey. They're just looking for the pollen. They're not looking for honey.
You know, and see that somebody,
you know,
when they thought of that one, they weren't thinking
about you, Tricky. That you would be somebody
that would come along like you would ask,
don't bees make their own honey?
Why would you have to do bees? It should be
more like that. Maybe you just have
your member in the expression wrong, or is the
expression just completely wrong to begin with?
The expression is completely
wrong to begin with. I don't
remember wrong because I've heard it from
older people telling me that.
If you want to catch bees, it's better
doing with honey than with vinegar.
Alright, I'm
AI for the assist.
There you go, yeah, ask
Krog or whatever the heck it is.
That's a common misconception. You catch more
flies with honey than with vinegar.
Yes.
Did it say that? Yep.
That's just like someone drunk must have said it that way
and you just learned like
that sounds good to me.
There you go. Perfect.
Hey, I'm glad
you pulled up, dope.
Because earlier you were sponsoring the space.
You just didn't know about it, but now you joined us.
So I'm glad you came in.
Thank you, Dope, for showing up.
Let's go.
You know, I'm just me, you know.
Chiller Sam was here taking the licks for you.
You know, he was taking a couple blows.
He was all right, man.
He was a good sport about it.
Well, I am in four spaces right now.
But then also, my wife texts me an x-ray.
And I'm like, what?
She's like, I'm at the hospital.
I'm like, what?
Apparently, her mom fell.
Is she okay?
Broke part of her shoulder.
She's fine.
She's fine.
But at first, I was thinking, of her shoulder. She's fine. She's fine, but like,
at first I was thinking, oh shit,
she drove down south.
I'm going to have to take my car
down south and sell it
so I can drive the other way up
or get it towed for like 600.
It's like 400 miles away.
It's not going to be good.
Oh, wow.
Luckily, she's fine. Okay. It's a going to be good. Oh, wow. Luckily, she's fine.
But yeah, it's just
a whole other thing.
So it took my attention.
And you're still on stage, bro?
What the heck? I'd be off that
getting a hold of my wife.
Well, I'm multitasking.
And right now, she's doing stuff with her mom.
Got it. Okay.
So the mother-in-law was in for the save?
Yeah.
Okay.
No, the mother-in-law is the one that needed the save.
My wife provided the assistance and the save, really.
Oh, wow.
She showed up to be like, I'm going to help you organize your shit.
She was on the ground.
So no good deed goes unpunished, bro.
Hey, no good deed goes unpunished, bro.
No good deed goes unpunished.
Facts.
Facts.
You learn that with time, with age, you learn that.

You know?
Yeah, listen to the recording.
I was more of like looking
for a place to jump in.
No, no, we're good, bro.
You're good. You're even sponsored the space.
You didn't even show up to the space you sponsored. Holy
shit.
I did have you
earlier as a joke saying growing the community
organically sponsored by rogue
but when I was trying to save it it that cut out and you know when I saw something like you know
what I mean go ahead edit it and I just went growing growing a community organically and I
just didn't do a sponsored by rogue you know because you know you're a no-show anyway so
kind of hard to sponsor something you don't show up to. Rogue or me?
Dope. Did I say Rogue? Sponsored by
Dope. Sponsored by Dope, not
Rogue.
I was sponsoring it too.
Damn.
Maybe,
you know,
I did my best.
I'm always sponsoring it from the
side. I was here sponsoring it from the side.
I was here.
He's more of a silent investor.
Yes, there you go.
Yeah, dope is a silent one.
I was here in spirit. Are you coming to his rescue because you helped him with a space one time?
Come on, bro.
Yeah, GM, GM, dope.
We actually, ironically, yeah gmgm dope uh we actually ironically it's like 30 minutes ago salt was gonna start uh slowing things down but uh yeah we had it was a good space actually that some dude came up um
i don't see him in here anymore but um it was cool we you know talked about organic community
building and got got really into that and so it was a good conversation honestly um and you know talked about organic community building and got got really into that and so
it was a good conversation honestly um and you know we talked about how we we officially have
crossed 25 percent now so you know i'll say that again because you know i'm proud of that um
and of course we have the banner competition that we talked about briefly up top but um yeah man
you know i get it when you're burning the candle at
both ends some days it hits you and you gotta you know catch a quick nap but uh yeah it's been a
real good space actually and hope uh hope your your uh the rest of your day goes well brother
thanks thanks yeah i actually feel like shit right now i don't know why
i was gonna just like oh dude i'm messing with you bro you don't feel like shit right now. I don't know why. I was going to just like... Oh, dude, I'm messing with you, bro.
You don't feel like that.
You know I'm playing with you.
You know that, right?
No, like, literally, I woke up, and I feel like shit.
It's like I didn't mean to pass out.
I kind of was just one of those things where I, like, finally ate, and I'm like, oh, I'm
just going to see if, like, I can shut my eyes for two seconds and i did and it was just like
i woke up and i'm like where am i type of thing so like it's all good bro hey you take care of
yourself first and foremost i thought if you know i'm busting your chops because the reality is and
this is a gone on truth for anybody in this space, if I actually have an issue with one of you, I will never call ass on you on a space.
I will never do that.
That is a private discussion that we would have outside of this.
So when I say some stuff like the dope...
I'm just messing with you, bro.
I had no idea.
I'm not.
Yeah, you did.
You're a bonehead.
That explains so much.
Stop being a little girl. I mean,head. Stop being a little girl.
Stop being a little kid.
That makes so much more sense now.
Thanks for letting me know.
Go back to sleep.
Go back to sleep.
You're still dreaming dope.
Who the hell let him up here?
Oh, I did.
Shit.
Alright, so now
what are we going to extend it for another
hour and a half then?
No, we're not, bro. I got to eat dinner.
I got to have dinner at 7.
We got 8 minutes.
You just got to figure out how to run the spaces
at your house.
Dinner spaces?
No, dude.
Why? Why? Because here's what the problem is okay when
i get home i have my three girls are at home actually two out of the three one is at school
doing band practice but they all suddenly have they can't do anything on their own dad's home
so like hey dad hey dad hey dad like come on come on give me some space kids plus it does drop at
my house.
I don't know what the hell is wrong with my internet connection.
You know, it's weird.
But it is what it is.
What's up, chiller Sam?
Just get like an internet extender, dude.
Stop being so dramatic.
Dope, are you going to go stop the phone?
Sorry, Sam.
Why are you talking on Sam?
No, I don't know if you can hear me very well, because I'm in the car now.
But I was going to say, soulmate, if you need to go eat dinner, I mean, I'm here, dope's here, crypto's here.
We don't really need you.
No, I'm only joking around, obviously.
You're muted.
Was Sam talking? I didn't know Sam was talking. you mean was sam talking
i didn't know sam was talking was sam talking
dude you're the only you're the host you're the only one who can mute people
exactly i know that thank you dope i told him that I was in his space.
I said, you come in mine, you try to
bogart mine, I'm just going to mute you.
So I had to at least
do it one time.
That's all I might all remember
from my spice. I'll see you in there.
Yeah, I'll be there
tomorrow morning, bro. You'll get
paybacks tomorrow. It's all good.
You know?
I'm not sweating it.
You know?
What I'm going to do is I'm going to actually come in your space and speak in Arabic and then just really mess it all up.
No, that's fine by me, mate.
I support all cultures and I'll get the Google Translate up and talk back, mate.
Don't worry.
Okay, true story.
This is, you guys will get a kick out of this.
Maybe you will, maybe you won't.
By my place, we actually have, where I live,
we have one of the biggest Home Depots in the country.
It used to be a Super Kmart.
Super Kmart went out of business, obviously.
So Home Depot came in and took over that.
It's supposed to be like the biggest Home Depot in the country.
So we're in it one day.
My buddy's a contractor. He's on one end of Home Depot. I'm on the other
end, basically. And he yells my name across down to Home Depot. And he's
holding the can. He's like, hey, I found the Kaboom. Well, there's a
cleaner called Kaboom. Well, if you guys know, I'm an Arab.
Not a good thing to say Kaboom to me. I'm in the middle of Home Depot. And all of a sudden, I get like a
literally can feel a dozen eyes look at me like staring at me you know when this my buddy i'm i'm trying not
to laugh you know and he's on the other end like hey what's going on just a kaboom you know just
being so sarcastic so there you go just a little fun little tidbit for you it's a funny deal but
nothing beats my daughter she's four years old four or five my oldest one we're at home depot
and checking out and she looks at me she goes are you ready to go brown guy this is my daughter she's four years old four or five my oldest one we're at home depot and checking out
and she looks at me she goes are you ready to go brown guy this is my daughter talking to me
are you ready to go brown guy to read cashier try not to laugh i'm like it's okay it's my kid she's
all right she can talk to me that way cashier goes into complete hysteria laughing she's like
i can't believe your kid just called you brown guy i said yeah and my kid's white as white can be so it's like canada was kind of fitting at that point so but
there you go fun times you know why is your why is your daughter calling you that because i'm a
brown guy and she's not oh she's not that makes it even worse no yeah she's and she's not. Oh, she's not. That makes it even worse. No.
Yeah, she's not.
My kid, they do get tan, but they are Anglo-Saxon.
Yes, they are.
Yes.
That's one thing about kids.
No, I was just going to say, that's one thing about kids.
There's no beating around the bush with kids.
They just say what they think at all times.
And I'm definitely waiting for my daughter's three this month.
So I can't wait for them.
She's already starting to get a little bit of attitude and start saying things.
You can't do nothing but laugh because they're only innocent.
Why does it sound like you're getting
radioed by the police?
He's driving.
What happened?
I expect to hear like,
like,
Red Team, move in.
Like,
I just sound like I hear him over a radio,
you know,
a police scanner.
Tricky.
He's driving right now.
Yeah,
he's driving those Aussie roads.
They're a lot louder than U.S. roads.
Well, yeah, but there was also an AC-130
flying over his head as he got in here
legitimately. He's like, yeah, maybe.
He's like, I'm at the Air Force base.
The AC-130s and everything are taking off.

Staring.
I was like, man, the cops are out.
So I look with me and shit.
I'm like, you're an idiot, bro.
It was me on the cameras.
You fucking tripper.
But that was just a little bit of story from the police stand as he reminded me of.
You need to ask him what he's doing when he's not around you
if he's that worried about that joke.
No, I'm just kidding.
He'll be like, what are you doing, homie?
Yeah, right, you're not wrong.
