happy friday thank you for joining us how are we doing this evening doing great how's everybody
here and i really quick i got a question for bacon so you're a bacon sandwich is there anything on the sandwich other than just bacon so yes and no I mean there are sources
particularly red and brown sources that's that's a question we'll take an age to
answer I mean the correct there is a correct answer but I'll let you wear
that one out for yourself see the the red and brown
sauces kind of scare me though you know what it is i think it's i think it's ketchup for bacon
sandwiches and brown sauce for yeah but see you're you're a human so i my mind went a completely
different direction with those two colored sauces so um yeah no we're just not gonna go there
in the uk we have this like a i guess you can call it spicy um it's it's not quite a barbecue
sauce it doesn't quite reach that it's more like a like a watered down uh worcestershire sauce or
washer sister resources i've heard some people call it um it's kind of like a sort a watered down uh, Worcestershire sauce or washer sister resources. I've heard some people call it
um, it's kind of like a
Sort of a watered down version of that. I guess it's probably the best way to describe the flavor. All right
All right. We'll we'll stick with that. Well that we'll keep it clean that way
Yeah, absolutely keep it clean boys
Also, if you guys want um, if you guys want to bring up um
Pyro who's down below i don't know

very well super excited for the space tonight definitely looking forward to uh learning more
about star dogs who you guys are what you guys do i mean i know that most of us already know but
of course you guys are forever building and lots is lots of things are happening so we're looking forward to
to learning more well i i know we're super excited every time we get to share with people
um it definitely makes our day so i appreciate that you are most welcome now as always we ask if this is okay if you guys can give
a brief introduction to who Stardogs are and what Stardogs is you can go into as much or as little
detail as you guys would like we are here for one to two hours so we have time for it we love it
this is what we live for and it would be an absolute pleasure if you guys could give us an
introduction to Stardogs for anyone that might not know that'd be awesome absolutely so um so Stardogs is created by
our founder Darcy Donovan a lot of people have seen her in the space for years now she got into
web3 and crypto uh around the time that Cardano first launched. So what was that? End of 2017, I believe.
So going on about eight years in the space
and has worked with a lot of different brands
and companies during that time
within Web3 and blockchain technology,
saw the opportunities,
really saw it as kind of that next iteration of finance, internet,
social engagement, and just technology overall. So, you know, she was like, look, you know,
I've got friends who got in, you know, on a lot of different companies when the internet first
started, and she saw it as that same type of
opportunity and I think a lot of us do. So me as her business manager, my name is Dylan Nelson,
worked with Darcy for years. When she got into the space, I immediately had to learn as much as I
could as quickly as I could to try and catch up to what she was learning in the space and I still am constantly
trying to catch up in regards to that because there's always new things as we all know.
About five years ago she came to me with the idea of merging Web3 and Hollywood together in
together in her concept of what we've created, which is Star Dogs. So the initial logo was,
and the idea came from her dogs. She's a big dog lover. And so the PFP that you see is her dog Max, who's a pit. And what this is, is really a golden ticket into Hollywood.
You know, you think golden ticket, you think Willy Wonka, the old movie, you know, the golden
ticket that he, that, you know, everybody was trying to get. Well, you know, same type of thing
with this. This gives you opportunities into the entertainment business, which is extremely hard to make it in.
I mean, I've worked in the industry, you know, since I was a teenager, you know, going over 30 years, I've been in this industry.
Darcy's been in it just as long, if not maybe a little bit longer than me. She started out,
I think when she was eight years old. And so it's one of those things where she's had to
scratch and claw her way up through the industry, never had anything handed to her,
has had to work her butt off to make it. And it's one of those things where you have to keep going.
And if you don't, you're just not going to have a chance. We see too many people come to
Los Angeles or they go to New York or, you know, even on the music side of it, going to Nashville. And, you know, it's not necessarily an
overnight success type thing. You know, a lot of people may think that it is, but it's not. It's
years and years of work and preparation and networking and being in the right place. And
so, I mean, she's had a huge career already being in movies like Anchorman, Parks and
Rec, Modern Family, Bones, 90210, the list goes on and on. She's had a successful music career.
She's charted on the dance billboard charts. She's released books as well. And has had numerous
businesses throughout her career that she has started and sold.
Other ones that she's bought and continues to build them out.
And so when she came to me with this, I thought it was an absolutely brilliant idea.
So Stardogs is a set of 10,277 full body 3D NFT dogs, there are seven different breeds in this Genesis collection and
six different jobs that they can hold. Those jobs are security, crew, producers, directors, actors,
and superstars. So depending on which job you get and what traits that dog holds in that job,
there are different opportunities. So with the directors, you know, depending on the trait you get, you might get a photo shoot with a celebrity photographer. You might be able to follow the director around on set for a day to learn from an executive producer or a line producer or associate producer during the filming
process. Then you've got your superstars, which give you opportunities to get a role in our films.
So if anybody gets a superstar, you're guaranteed a role in at least one of our movies. And then
if you get a superstar that has a jeweled microphone, you're guaranteed a role in at least one of our movies. And then if you get a superstar
that has a jeweled microphone, you're guaranteed a speaking role in at least one of our films.
This is not something where we say, oh yeah, as soon as we do a movie, you know, yes, you're going
to get an opportunity. No, we've already had movies released. In the last year and a half.
We've had seven movies released theatrically.
And we've had our private sale holders who have gotten involved early on
already get the opportunity to be in our movies.
We had a movie out last year
called God's Not Dead and God We Trust.
We were filming some pickup shots in South Carolina
in, what was that, March of last
year. And we reached out to our private sale holders and said, look, if you're in the area or
you can get to the area, here's your opportunity to get into one of our films. And so a few of them
got the opportunity. They took advantage of it and they got to see themselves on the big screen.
the opportunity they took advantage of it and they got to see themselves on the big screen
and the cool thing is is not only you know is that movie released and our our private sale holders
have had that opportunity to be in it but that movie was also nominated for a movie guide award
which was fantastic it was in the top 10 in the box office opening weekend. We've had a couple of movies that have held that
spot top 10 opening weekend. One of them actually the first two weekends it was in theaters held the
top 10 spot. So we've had that. We've also held our red carpet events. If somebody gets a champagne
flute glass trait, so one of the Stardogs holding a champagne flute glass,
they get lifetime access to our red carpet events.
So if they don't make it to one,
they've got opportunities to come to another.
And we've already held one of our red carpet events
here in LA during NFT LA Outer Edge a couple of years ago.
We had people from Web3.
We had different people in the
entertainment industry that were in attendance as well. We had directors, producers, actors,
people from the stunt community that were in attendance. It was a lot of fun. The event went
off amazingly. We held it at the Hollywood Museum. There's billions of dollars of Hollywood artifacts in the museum.
Stuff from Ghostbusters to Little Rascals. I mean, the list goes on and on for different movies and
television shows throughout history. There's stuff from I Love Lucy, Birds. Again, the list just continues to go on. And it was, it was, it was a lot of fun.
The team that we have on this project, you know, beyond Darcy, you know, I, for myself,
I've been in the space for, you know, around the same amount of time that Darcy has now
as her business manager, but I've got a long history in the entertainment industry as well.
I've worked with a lot of different studios and production companies.
I deal in celebrity management.
We do marketing and branding on different films.
And I've had my hand in the production of numerous films as well.
With Pyro, she has started numerous businesses throughout her life and career.
She has been in Web3 for years now. Darcy and her had met years before she even knew, before Pyro even
knew of Stardogs. They had met in the kind of DeFi space. And when the opportunity came about, it just made sense, you know, to
kind of come on board and be a part of the team. And it's more than just a team that we have,
it's family. Mama Bear, who just popped in here as well, she's another member of the team.
She's another member of the team. And again, you know, Darcy had met Mama Bear in some NFT communities and started to build that relationship.
She came on board. And again, you know, she's family. You know, we all work very closely together.
It's more than just a business. You know, we're all moving in that same direction, the same mindset.
You know, we help each other through, you know, the good, the bad, the indifferent of times, supporting on many different levels.
And I think that's what makes this team, you know, really special.
And we believe that when you have a team that people see have been around for a long time that people can trust, that's the type of business that you want to invest in.
That's the type of products you want to buy.
You invest, you go to restaurants or stores where people treat you right.
stores where, you know, people treat you right. You know, I'll go to a restaurant where maybe I'm
driving an hour just to get to that restaurant because they treat me well. May not even be
better food than something that's close by, but I know that I'm treated like a human being.
You know, I'm treated like family. I'm not just a number. I'm not just dollars in there till, you know, when it's all said and done at the end of the day. And because of it, you know, I'll tell people, go to that. We look at that the same way with the business that we have here.
to people, offer opportunities, help people's dreams come to pass. We've got charities that
we're working with as well. There's so many different aspects to what we're doing with
Stardogs. And, you know, we can answer any questions that anybody has. The other aspect
to what we have is Darcy's also co-owner of the photorealistic metaverse Income Island.
You know, at the beginning we said hey
we're going to be putting you know our avatars for star dogs in the metaverse well we've already
done that you can go into the income island metaverse um and choose one of our avatars but
with that metaverse we're also working with different businesses where they are able, we're giving them a place where they can build out and expand what
they already are doing or create new business opportunities with inside the digital world
that we've created. You know, we don't look at it as a gaming platform, although yes, there is a game
in there currently just for people to, you know, be entertained, have fun, that type of stuff. And we'll probably
add more in over time, depending on what companies want in there. But, you know, overall, we really
look at it as the next iteration of the internet, where it's more than just photos, video, text,
and audio. It's a place where, just like in real life, you can go into a store,
you can buy your clothes, your shoes, you could buy groceries, you could go to a restaurant and
order your food and it gets delivered to your home. And we have had people who have ordered
food from inside our metaverse and had it delivered to their home. We've helped brands mint out NFT collections.
It really is across the board. It covers everything and it's exciting. It's constantly
evolving on both sides with the NFTs for Stardogs and then also the metaverse. So it's a lot. There's
a lot to it. I'm scratching the surface in everything that i've
mentioned um but i'm happy to open up any questions that you may have um and uh you know whether it's
myself mama bear or pyro any one of us can answer them thank you so much for for giving us a breakdown
and uh so beautifully done by the way so you know
we really do appreciate that it does really does really help us get you know a deeper insight to
the things that you're building i see z has his hand up fire away z
i was just wondering um how how you get into your metaverse
how people access our metaverse so there's two places where you can download our metaverse. We
didn't do it on through web browsers because through web browsers, getting high quality
graphics is difficult. It is possible, but the cost in doing it just goes through the roof.
So you can go on our website at IncomeIsland.org
and you go to downloads and you'll see for the Mac, you can download it from there.
And for PC, if you click that one, it takes you to the Microsoft App Store and you can download
Income Island directly from the Microsoft App Store for PCs as well.
Thank you. uh income island directly from the microsoft app store for pcs as well thank you
yeah thank you yeah thank you good question and great answers i appreciate that um i do want to introduce um mama to the stage so mama thank you so much for joining us
happy friday we hope you are well um and welcome to the space and welcome to the stage. How are you this evening? I'm doing great. We just had our moving truck drop everything off at the house,
so I'm surrounded in an empty room by boxes, but it's great. I'm doing great.
So I really appreciate the opportunity to come up and join you guys, learn about you,
as well as share a little bit about who we are and what
we're building and our entire team.
Because I don't really feel like we're a company.
Well, I mean, we are.
I feel more like we're a family.
And that is really rare, not just in Web3, but in business.
And every one of the people on our team is really just someone that not only do I want
to hang out with but I want to do business with and as we're doing business we have the most fun
and I forget that we're doing business and it's it's just a it's such a great a great part of
this extension of web 3 web 2 everything that's being built the whole incredible dynamic of
doing what you love and loving what you do and you never work a day
and that really is that really is what we do and i love being able to help explain
you know to come how they can join us you, how they can do that with us and,
and how we can merge their real world business into the web three aspect of things, into the
metaverse, um, into film and, and, and get the, you know, help them catch the vision.
There's, there's nothing like that. That's my favorite part of what we're doing. So thanks so much, you guys. So one of the things that Mama Bear just touched on, you know, is the,
she mentioned about companies getting into not only our metaverse, which I touched on,
and she just did again, but also into the movies that we do, you know, a lot of, you know, we've also watched movies and television shows
and you'll see a bag of Doritos
or, you know, a Coca-Cola can or Pepsi can,
or you see, you know, a branded vehicle,
maybe it's a Toyota or a Porsche or whatever it may be.
And so, you know, with that,
that's, you know, your product placement and brand integration.
And so we're constantly in talks with different companies about opportunities to incorporate their company, their product, their services somehow into our films.
It's one of the best ways of gaining brand exposure for any business.
gaining brand exposure for any business. You know, you go back and you look at films like
Pretty Woman, and in that movie, there's a couple of scenes that always stick out in my mind.
There's one where it's, you know, Richard Gere takes his friend's vehicle and hops in and drive.
He just didn't want to be at the party anymore that was going on. So he takes the vehicle and is driving through the city and he ends up picking up Julia Roberts. Well, Julia
Roberts sees the, I mean, she sees the vehicle and she knows all about it more than he does.
So she's sitting in the car and she's telling him about gear ratios and, you know, the shifting and,
and, you know, the horsepower and the engine
and all the different things about that vehicle.
Well, that vehicle was a Lotus.
And that movie's over 40 years old.
So in that case, that one was a brand integration
because they actually worked it into the script.
They were talking about features and benefits of that vehicle.
And to have that type of exposure, think about,
you know, how much companies spend for a commercial during Super Bowl.
That shows one time. You know, yeah, they might pay extra to have it show after the Super Bowl as well, maybe for a couple of weeks or a couple of months beyond that.
But they're spending $4 million for a one minute slot during the Super Bowl.
And they're saying that within the next several years, that could be as high as $8 million for a one minute slot during the Super Bowl.
That doesn't include how
much it costs to actually produce those commercials. Most of those commercials are pretty expensive to
produce them. You know, you could be looking at, you know, as much as a film costs to make some of
those commercials. You know, I've seen commercials where they've spent 10, 15 million dollars on a commercial.
and your product, your company, your brand is seen in perpetuity for life, you know,
ongoing beyond our own lives. You know, I mean, like I said, you look at Pretty Woman,
that's 40 years that that Lotus had been talking about. There's another scene in the same movie
where Richard Gere and Julia Roberts are playing a game of chess. He's in a
suit, a nice, you know, tux. She's in a beautiful gown and they're playing a game of chess. And
there's a can of Diet Coke right by Julia Roberts' arm. That's 40 years, 41 years of that Diet Coke
can being seen, not only nationally, locally, regionally, but that's international
exposure for Diet Coke. And that was done during the time when they were really trying to push
the whole Diet Coke brand 41 years ago. So then you look at other movies like Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead.
Really funny movie, a 30-year-old film.
I was watching it a couple of months ago for the first time in years.
I probably hadn't seen that movie in 20 years, maybe longer.
And I'm watching it and there's a scene where they're flipping a pizza box because they got to make a decision.
And the pizza box was Celeste Pizza.
Week later, I'm walking through the grocery store and I see Celeste Pizza right there.
And I was like, there it is.
I just saw that in Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead.
So these are ways that brands can be seen, companies can be seen and have that exposure
forever. And you're paying one time versus every time you pay for ads on social media,
or you're paying for a billboard, or you're paying for a commercial. Those are ongoing
payments versus a one-time payment. It's an amazing way to get brand
recognition. So we have, we've been talking with a lot of different companies in regards to that
as well. And it's awesome to watch, you know, the team talking to those brands, you know,
and setting up meetings. You know, Mama Bear will call me up. She's like, hey, I just spoke with my
friend and he works with, you know, he does marketing for big brands and he works with
this and this and this. And I was like, awesome. And she gets a meeting and we have, you know,
great conversation and, you know, we've gotten some good companies involved with what we're doing.
You know, Pyro has same thing, you know, she's reached out with two different brands
through her connections that she has. And again,
phenomenal meetings. And it's one of those things where it's not about building what we're building
for us, for Darcy, for Stardogs, for our parent company, Real Vision Entertainment.
This is helping to bring, literally, I'll say this, you know, we've had people say,
I had a dream like 20 years ago about, you know, me and my buddy and this was going on and we were
in a movie and we walked a red carpet for an award show. And we've actually helped like really
bring that dream to reality. They're a private sale holder.
They have been in one of our movies.
That movie that they were in, although they didn't go to the award show, that movie was the movie that was nominated for the Movie Guide Award.
So if you think about it, we actually brought that private sale holders dream to reality,
like literally did it. And to do that is an amazing feeling, you know, to be able to help
people, to give some people purpose, to give people jobs, to, you know, help, help them in
something maybe they thought they would never do, or they tried to do and, and they, they would never do or they tried to do and they failed at it or decided to give up on it or whatever.
But through what we're doing, it opens those doors.
It's fun. It's a lot of fun to help people in that way.
Yeah, but Dylan, that's not the only thing, right?
The other, I'm glad I had a minute to think, right?
The other, I'm glad I had a minute to think, right?
When we're talking about, you know, how retail investors have to get into crypto and we've got to have all these people and for mass adoption to happen and we have to have all this stuff and the bro and the vibe out has to improve.
All of those things have to get better.
that's not the only thing that has to get better.
That's not the only thing that has to get better.
The corporate people and the corporate entities
have to value what's being done here.
And there's a massive friction between the two
because one group is like, we're DeFi,
don't tell us what to do.
We created all of this.
We developed all of this stuff.
Now you think you're just gonna, you know,
bulldoze your way in and tell us how to do.
Well, a lot of everybody has never really run a company or they don't know how to business.
And so, yes, they need somebody to help them because they're not mature as far as like running or being a corporation and making smart business and making plans for the next 20,
30, 40, 100 years. And so there's this rub between the two of them. And we have to have the mutual
respect. And that's one of the things that we're doing with Stardust. And Pyro is the best at this
because she's like, listen, this is how and this is why this works the best for you this is how and this is why web 2 migrates
into web 3 this is how the two of them can work together seamlessly effortlessly and part was the
best at that and so when you're looking at the whole dynamic this um our films are not just
movies to make everybody laugh. They really are.
They're also movies that are going to change the way we watch movies. They're going to change the way we think about ownership of movies, because you're going to be able to hold one of the Genesis collection.
We're going to be able to profit share as you're, you know, you know, being a DGEN and retweeting and posting about it and telling people
that you're holding one of them and now this new film came out and
the profits are going to going through the roof and we're changing
that whole dynamic from the studio has all of the control
to the holders have ownership you know I have a have a you know
a leg into it and everybody puts it all together.
And it's just such an incredible aspect of this part to be able to be on the, as my dad would have called it, the knife's edge.
Right. We're right on that honed edge of inventing and iterating and creating something that has never been done before.
And I'm just, for me, clearly passionate.
I can talk about it for 10 years.
But Pyro is way more articulate about it without repeating herself and redundancies.
So you're welcome.
But go ahead, Pyro.
You're the best.
I love you.
You do amazing, Mama.
So something that you'll notice with all of us, honestly,
I mean, one of the biggest things that just resonate with me,
with our team, is we all have hearts.
Some of the biggest hearts you'll ever see in your entire life, I promise you.
And like-minded people gravitate towards those people.
So one of the biggest things, this was Dylan covered this earlier. And when I share it just
personally with people who have never heard it, one of the biggest takeaways that I have
from Darcy and the vision of everything that we're doing is she strives to be what she wished that she would have had when she was a child in this industry.
She wants to protect people. She wants to make sure that they aren't taken advantage of when they're trying to, you know, navigate a road that many go down and never find their way to the end of the tunnel, you know.
And so that alone is one of the biggest takeaways for me.
So taking care of people, making sure they're safe, helping people and doing it with your entire heart and not selfishly.
doing it with your entire heart and not selfishly.
You know, she basically has navigated the hard winding road.
And instead of just forging through,
she is turning around, extending a hand and telling everybody else,
let me hold your hand and guide you.
And so that's huge to me.
The other thing is, like Dylan was saying,
the opportunities for not only people
to be in the movies and get that benefit, also to share a portion of the box office profits,
like Mama was talking about. It's the opportunity to foster more community,
be something bigger than yourself, right? Be a part of something.
And then when you consider these businesses being in the metaverse, it's kind of like how
we figured out a long time ago that shopping malls worked. You might not need to go to Dillard's
today, but you were dropping by JCPenney's and you just so happened to have to walk by Dillard's
on the way out to your vehicle. So you're like looks great let me stop in um we also figured out that entertainment
and so either concerts or fashion shows or game shows right brought people to the shopping malls
and then people spent more money because they were there so when you have games in the metaverse and you i'm sorry if y'all can hear my little my baby
i apologize i'll never apologize i'm a dad of five myself and uh yeah thank you so much
we love children over here so you may continue you're so sweet um you know um sorry i i got
distracted by that so let's see um but you we going to have games in the metaverse. We have Dylan, am I allowed to say movie theaters?
Yes. OK, so we have a whole stage. We're going to have our movie theaters there.
So even thinking on that end, right, we are expanding upon what people consider the ways to watch a film now,
which is go to the theater or then buy it on your, you know, at home and watch it at home. But now
we'll be able to watch in the metaverse with people. So instead of you being at your home,
right, like we can still be in there together and watch it and discuss things. And it's just a whole new avenue and it's brand new.
So that part is awesome.
Then the other thing is just like the businesses that open up in a shopping mall, right?
They gain exposure and attraction through other people.
So what we've done is we've collected the great people that we know, the trustworthy brands.
Those are the ones we go after. And as they're following and their audience, then they're exposed to everybody else.
So it's just a great opportunity opportunity for everyone collectively.
And also, we're all of the kind of entrepreneurial mindset.
And also, we're all of the kind of entrepreneurial mindset.
So think about how great it would be for a business to all of a sudden have our Genesis
collection is 10,277.
Automatically have that many people that are like, hey, let me jump in and support because
I don't know how many people care whether Walmart sells something or not,
but that's a big part of what we do is community.
And we want to make sure that people are taken care of and happy.
And we go above and beyond what we normally, you know,
what we would need to do to mend our project and have our company.
We want to make sure people are safe.
And if they have tax questions, we'll find, you know, we have Crypto Billy over here who runs great spaces that covers those things.
You know, we meet with guys like y'all.
And it's just it's I love when Dylan told me we were coming on here.
I was like, it's awesome because community for us and especially me and Web3 was really what got me involved.
And it's why I'm still here after all of these years so i'm gonna stop talking now yeah but i just thought of something
sorry i just follow i just thought of something where um it's also tariff proof because you know
when you're holding um the genesis collection right And all of that stuff, if your business is involved in the metaverse as well, right?
I'm not legal, you know, this is not legal advice, right?
This is not financial advice.
I just thought how funny that would be, right?
That it could be, you know, could be tariff proof
because it's virtual.
And you're talking about people being able to shop
in all of your places.
If you have a brick and mortar store, if you build a store that mimics your brick and mortar
into the metaverse and you load in your website, people can shop and people can do just like
they would anywhere else in the world.
And now the tariffs may apply to them, you know, in their order, but it wouldn't apply
in the metaverse for you to build in there.
And you have all of Dylan can, you know, whatever, right?
He's the guardian.
We girls say stuff and he's like, don't say that.
But when you're talking, he's our gatekeeper.
But when the legalities have to be, you know, investigated, but when you're talking about building in the metaverse, when you're talking about all of that aspect of it, those rules are kind of liquid right now.
And this is something that puts you in front of other people.
It puts you in front of films, right?
When you're involved in the film and a brand gets
placed in the film they're in the film just like dylan was saying you know diet coke is an iconic
brand everyone in the universe knows all about diet coke but not a lot of web3 people are alive
are old enough to remember when diet coke came out um but some of us are and and because of that
we would it would stand out even more significantly
because we're like oh yeah that was like and dyke was only two years old and like can you
believe that like this is incredible and it was in that film and um or if you were to talk about
lenovo um um computers or when the first time we all saw an Apple computer in a movie, would you like to play a game?
All of these different films come to life and we all associate them in some way, shape or form with seeing the brand posted in there.
And we're definitely trying to change the game and we're definitely trying to help people and help companies, help brands think beyond the traditional.
And most of us are in DeFi because that's how our brain works anyway.
And it's just really cool to be able to have a small impact on the team.
a small impact on the team. So I really, I really appreciate it.
So I really appreciate it.
So in regards to one of the things that they said with the profit share, you know, that's a utility
that we just announced not that long ago. Literally about two weeks ago, we announced this.
And it's something that we have been working on for years like from day one that was something that
darcy wanted to be able to offer to the holders of our nfts when we meant problem was is you know
for four years ago yes you were getting away with saying it three years ago you started going uh
should i say this two years ago you're, God, I better not offer this.
And so the thing is, you've got SEC guidelines that you're always having to look at.
How does this pass the Howey test with the SEC?
And so we've spent four or five years figuring out how do we offer this to our holders in a way where it our company doesn't, you know, break any regulations with the SEC.
How do we make it to where our company can continue to move forward, offer these opportunities to our holders and it doesn't affect the holders either.
And so, you know,
there's a couple of things with this. You know, there will be a KYC process for people that want to be able to, you know, take their portion of the profits. We're going to have a trust in
place for the company where those funds that are set aside from the profits for our holders,
they're going to have to KYC for that. And they will be a beneficiary on that trust as long as
they are a holder of the NFT. Then the next part of that is that they are going to have to prove
that they've helped to market Stardogs and the movies. If they do not prove that,
those funds will not be released. So you're being, you know, the better that, the more that our
holders market it across social media, it's a win-win for everybody because that means that
the movies are going to do better. Movie does better.
There's going to be more profits,
which means you make more money as a holder.
So really we've set this up in a way where just like in crypto,
you know, it's built by the people for the people.
Stardogs, even though it was founded by Darcy, the success of it is based off of the holders.
You know, it's based off of how well they helped to promote the movies as well. And don't get me
wrong. We're not funding our movies based off of just the sale of our NFTs. We've got outside
investors. That's how we've had seven films release in the last year and a half. None of that
came from any sale of NFTs because we haven't minted. Yes, we have some private sale holders
that have gotten in early and they've gotten opportunities because of that, but we're not
relying solely on the sale of our NFTs. In fact, from the mint of our NFTs, that is only going to
cover a portion of one of our next movies that we're doing.
We've got a $30 million budget film that's in development that'll be released through Stardogs.
We've got our director on board.
He's done movies like The Mask with Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz.
He worked on Scorpion King with The Rock.
He did Eraser with Arnold Schwarzenegger. He did, it was with
Jamie Foxx and Tom Cruise, the movie that they did. Oh, I'm forgetting the name of it. Anyway,
just those four movies alone did over, did close to a billion dollars in ticket sales.
You know, the types of films that we're doing are kind of in the same vein as what John Hughes did.
Those iconic films where you laughed, you cried,
you could relate to all different aspects.
We're talking like Trains, Planes, Automobiles,
Uncle Buck, Throw Mama from the Train,
16 Candles, Pretty in Pink, Weird Science.
You know, these films that you can still watch.
Home Alone is another John Hughes film.
Everybody watches that.
Well, I won't say everybody, but so many people watch that movie every Christmas.
And have, for what, 30 years?
20, 30, yeah, 30 years that they've been watching that movie almost
every year. These are the types of films where you can say, hey, you know, go to your friends,
your family and tell them, you should go watch this. It's a great film. You're going to really
enjoy it. And again, the more that our holders help to promote it, the better it does, the more profit they can make.
And that's really exciting through this whole process as well as, you know, the success of it all is going to be partially due to the holders, a big part of it, actually.
So, yeah.
yeah thank you for breaking that down and that is quite you know big numbers when you when you
when you break it down like that and it is really exciting um to see that you know like it seems
like stardogs have kind of really created an avenue for for people to really enjoy this industry
in an incredible way and um you know listening to uh to mama bear and pyro and you
um it's awesome that community seems to be at the forefront of that which is you know the ethos
behind the web3 space so you know that brings a lot of a lot of happiness and joy to you know
what it what it seems like you guys are building so you know well played for that as well um and
it seems like it was your birthday recently as well so you know happy birthday for that as well um and it seems like it was your birthday recently as
well so you know happy birthday um i know it's late but you know happy birthday to you as well
i just wanted to say that thank you so much i really appreciate that
but it's it's awesome to listen to you guys speak about this because you can hear the sincerity in
your voice and the passion behind it um but yet the seriousness that you guys have taken to this space because you know the success
of a project really can create opportunity and pave the way for for others to to come into this
and and and grow through it as well um so i just think it's awesome that you know you seem to have
a team that see each other as family which is incredible because a good strong team can achieve all things and it seems like that you guys have really found
the team that's going to take your project you know forward to the all of the successes that
you can clearly hear that you guys have already accomplished so you know it's really exciting and
you know i love the fact that you guys are also taking this to the to virtual environments as well and into the metaverse um that's really exciting um but for anyone that um
that may not know um what what pathways have people um have people got access to to uh
potentially purchase the nfts that you guys are going to have available what's what's what's the the best place for that
so when we go to mint which we will be minting later this year um during the the fall late fall
um our nfts will be selling for 0.5 eth um and you'll be able to mint these directly from our
website um and when you think of you listen, we've had lots of conversations
in regards to pricing. In fact, we had a marketing meeting, you know, last night, and I've had
conversations with Pyro and Mama Bear and many other people. And, you know, when you look at
the price, a lot of your DGENs may go, oh my God, 0.5 E, that's expensive. But when you really break it down
and you look at other brands that have been in the space and what they offer and what they have
sold the NFTs for, the value that you're getting for what you spend for one of these NFTs is
really unbelievable because I'll give you an example. So Pyro brought in a gentleman into
our community. She met him through a whole nother platform and he has been trying to help his son
get into the entertainment business for quite a while. Helped him with photos and you know managers and agents he's spent just trying to help his son over twenty
thousand dollars trying to help his son get into the entertainment industry and still
has only achieved very little then when you look at nft brands that are out there. There was a project called Loudpunks that minted about two
years ago tied to concerts. Now, if you got one of those NFTs from that NFT brand, you weren't
guaranteed access to every one of their concerts. You would get limited access with that by holding
one of those NFTs.
You might get one or two concerts.
I can't remember exactly how many,
but it wasn't all of them each year that LoudPunks was involved with.
And those sold for 1.5 ETH each.
And they minted out that project.
And so you look at, okay, you don't get access to all of it. It's only concerts.
There's nothing that allows you to get jobs, get money back from what you're involved with.
None of those things come along with that. And when you look at what we're offering from red
carpet events, you can't
pay to go to red carpet events. You might be able to pay a publicist and maybe that publicist could
get you onto red carpet, but a good publicist is going to cost you three to $15,000 a month.
A lower end publicist, three grand a month high end you
could be paying ten fifteen thousand dollars every single month for a top end publicist
and that doesn't mean that they're going to get you on the red carpet either they're going to try
but they also the the people who put on those red carpet events they want big names. So if you don't have a name, who's to say you're even going
to get there? So you're getting access to our red carpet events, being able to network with
other people in the industry. Could be Web3 industry, could be entertainment industry,
combination of both but you're getting access to that if you hold the right nft
combination of both, but you're getting access to that if you hold the right NFT.
our private sale holders get lifetime access guaranteed doesn't matter what nft they have
if they were a private sale holder they're guaranteed that also our private sale holders
are get the same benefits as if they got one of our superstars so when we go to film we're also
not only going to reach out to the superstar holders,
but we're also going to reach out to our private sale holders and say,
here's an opportunity. If you're in the area, we need actors. Or, you know, we need somebody for
this. So those people are getting those opportunities. There's so much value in what we've created that 0.5 ETH is a deal
for what this is. And so for us, it really has been a big value. So when we go to Mint,
it will be on our website. We've partnered up with some great brands out there. We work with NFA, Crypto Homies, and Sid, who started that whole brand.
And they're releasing the OUI marketplace as well.
We'll have visibility there.
We've got a lot of things planned out from a marketing strategy standpoint to really get the visibility out there.
uh strategy standpoint to really get the visibility out there but ultimately we want
people going directly back to our website so they know who they're dealing with where they're going
and that's where you buy it's helped to alleviate any other fake nft projects that'll be out there
um and all of that um the other thing i wanted to say, which we really haven't touched on is, and then I've got to kind of wrap it up for myself because I have a meeting for a movie that
we're working on that I got to jump into. But the NFTs themselves, I've talked about how
there's a lot that's gone into these. We've spent four years just on the artwork alone for the Stardog NFTs.
They are full-body 3D NFT dogs.
Just in rendering these out, we've started rendering the NFTs last November,
and we're rendering out 15,000 of these.
We're going to have 10,277 of them that'll be for sale um and we have a burn feature that's built into this whole thing as well
where you'll have the opportunity to burn your way up to a higher status or a more rare nft as well
um and all of that is listed on our website at stardogs.com for more details. But the detail in these NFTs are
insane. It's definitely up there from a 3D asset with some of the best that I've seen that have
been dropped. And we've gotten our private sale holders that we have shown some
sneak peeks to have just verified it. You know, not, it's not just coming from what we say,
what we think, and we believe. Like you can zoom in and you can see the strands of fur on each dog,
the different shapes on each dog's face, you know, the, because you have seven
different breeds. You've got Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Bulldogs, Pitbulls, Boxers.
You have the German Shepherds and the Dobermans. So there's, there's all these different ones and
each one looks just as it's supposed to, but then they, you know, depending on what they're holding,
you know, one of them has a camera on their shoulder and you look at the camera and even the detail and the metal
on the camera is it's insane the hat the stitching the the the fabric um you know down to you can see
the tweed in the pants or on the jacket or you know if it's more of uh slacks that they're wearing
you can tell the shoes the shine on like the nice slacks that they're wearing, you can tell the shoes, the shine on like the nice shoes.
Or if they have tennis shoes, you can see the little pinholes.
I mean, there's so much detail in these.
I think people are really going to be blown away when we start releasing more images of what these look like, because it really goes to a new level.
That is amazing.
Yeah, it is. It's really exciting. We're excited. We're really close to start,
you know, dropping little sneak peeks here and there and can't wait to hear feedback from just the community as a whole and people who, you know, maybe they've seen us in spaces, maybe
they've heard us talk, but, you know, we've, like, we've all been, well, I'm not going to say all,
but a lot of us have been in this space a long time. We've heard people hype up stuff. For us, it's been deliver, show them what's there, you know, and, and go from a
place of like, this is what we've done. This is what we're continuing to do versus, oh yeah,
we're going to do that. No, screw that way of thinking, you know, that you're leaving people
guessing and hoping and praying. if you do it that way.
That's not fair to your holders.
It's not fair to your investors.
It's not fair to your customers.
If you don't take care of your customers, if you don't take care of your community,
you've got nothing.
One of the things that Darcy has said when she's spoken at Web3 events
and other speaking engagements that she's done, she's like,
look, you look at the whole thing like
a car. Okay. You've got your founder. They're the steering wheel. They're the ones steering,
you know, the car, what direction it's going, um, adjust, you know, maybe they're adjusting the gas
and the brake pedal, but that, that's your, that's your leader. Then you have your team.
That's the, all the other components. It's the engine. It's the tires.
It's the brakes.
It's the drivetrain.
That's your team.
They make up the vehicle that the steering wheel and the brake and gas are attached to.
But even then, you only have the vehicle.
Well, you need the gas.
The gas is the community.
And without that gas, you go nowhere. If nobody knows about what you're doing,
if they're not feeding into your car, your car is just going to sit there stagnant.
It's not going anywhere. It's not going to do anything. It just looks pretty. Okay, great.
Whatever. There's lots of things that can just look pretty um but you know you want it functional and that's that's what a great team does and a
great team with a great leader and an amazing community it's all just as important as the other
yeah well said and i love that analogy and it's it's awesome that you guys are you know really
trying to stand on that and and look at things from a perspective of you know this is what we've
done you know and and and also you know tying back to the community as well because you you're
absolutely right the community is the fuel and And without a community that, you know, nothing moves.
You can have the best products in the world, the best services, the best assets.
And, you know, without a community to kind of, you know, be in support of that, then it doesn't really carry the same value.
So it's awesome that that's the case.
And, you know, it sounds like there's benefit to, know to hold in these nfts as well and is there
any utilities outside of the the movies are you able to kind of unpack a little bit of of what it
would look like to be a holder of your assets so majority of the stuff is tied in with the
entertainment business that we're doing so our holders can you know not you may not want to be
in a movie you may not want to be an actor. But like I said, there's opportunities to learn from
the directors and the producers. You know, the producers is the business side, the director
still is the creative, but behind the camera and bring helping to bring it to life. You know,
maybe the editor, the crew, you know, maybe you're an electrician or a carpenter.
You know, there's so many people that it takes,
so many different jobs that it takes to make these movies.
But there's other businesses that we're expanding into as well to offer opportunities.
There's stuff in Web3 where, you know,
devs, artists within Web3 that we're going to need because we're going to have to work.
You know, every movie we do moving forward beyond this Genesis collection is going to have its own set of NFTs.
So the Genesis collection gets you involved with every one of our movies moving forward.
And then for each movie we do after, they'll have their own individual collection, but that collection will be only tied to that individual film.
So people who are like, oh, I want the most bang for my buck.
I want the most of the opportunities.
Getting in on the Genesis collection is like getting in on the ground floor of a movie studio, of a entertainment company.
movie studio of a entertainment company. That's the great thing. But yeah, there's so much more
That's the great thing.
that's coming down the pipeline with merch and toys and cartoons and comics and books and the
list goes on and on. All of these things will just add in over time. How this will evolve, it's hard to say for sure, but we have ideas of where it's going
and how big this will go. And then we've got charities that we work with as well.
And I mean, again, there's so many things that are tied in with this. It's hard to touch on at all.
I will say I do have to step away, but I'm going to let Pyro kind of take over because she
knows this inside and out. I have to get into
this production meeting.
But thank you again so
much for the time to speak
and I will let
Pyro take over. Thank you.
That's what I was actually going to tell
you. But if you needed to leave,
I was happy to continue on, Dylan.
So the other thing that I would say, what Dylan said is we have so much, it's really hard to kind of give everybody everything without just overwhelming them.
one of the biggest, you know, features that people were looking forward to, especially in this space,
was the opportunity, like we said, that we figured out how to do it where we're safe from the SEC.
It's not a security, you know, we've been working on it for years. So the ability to claim a portion
of those box office profits, that's a huge value. And then we could, so the roles, I'm not sure if we covered this in this space.
I do apologize just because we talk about it everywhere.
But I want to make sure that y'all know the roles that people would be able to get.
I'm going to say my baby's about the ball.
They are SAG, so Screen Actors Guild um so they are um sanctioned uh roles and you will be
paid to um you know have your role so we cover travel and accommodations and then you get paid
you'll get paid residuals you know as the the the film, you know, goes on for years. So that's a big
part of it. And there was something else I was going to tell you in that same thing. I apologize.
Oh, that's what it is. So to be able to get your certificates to be a SAG actor,
to be a SAG actor, it costs quite a bit of money.
And you have to have, I believe it's three.
And then not only that, even after you obtain those,
then you still have to go and audition for a role,
audition for a part.
You have to put-
I have one minute.
I was just going to say in regards to what she's saying with that, once you have those three vouchers, you still have to pay to get into SAG.
So, yes, you may have gotten you get the roles in the films that get you the vouchers.
Once you have three vouchers, then you have to pay an initial thing to get into the SAG union.
And then every year you're paying dues as well. So yeah, it's
one of those things where this opens those doors. Anyway, all right, I got to go. Sorry.
Thank you, Dylan. Yeah, so that is a part that some people may or may not see offhand with it right is if if you were to get a star um a superstar which is you know the the top
tier and you don't want to be in the film it's not your thing the opportunity to sell that um
would be a massive value for somebody coming in so that's just another way to look look at it as well yeah that's really exciting um and and these things are um really complex as well and an
industry like the entertainment industry um as many people will probably know is really really
difficult to kind of tap into um and i'm sure that, you know, a lot of people have been hopeful
that people from the entertainment industry would utilize this space
in a way that helps uplift the community, you know,
creating, you know, excitement and enjoyment and opportunity
and really help everyday people really enjoy the things that they're passionate
about um and of course you know entertainment touches everybody you know we all love and
appreciate entertainment it has its values right across the board in many different ways
um and you know it's it's awesome to hear some of the films that you guys have have been creating
um and working with and it's kind of really exciting to think that, you know,
there are ecosystems out there really trying to showcase the value that Web3
can bring to an ecosystem when it's utilized in a way that is built
from the community up.
We really thought about that and and it is funny because i've been on the side of being on the team
forever and so people of course come to you and i was in web three back in the day where it's like
anything and everything you know somebody started something and some of us joke around and it's like
you just throw something at the wall and see what sticks.
Well, you know, people would throw money at anything.
And then before long, they had a full digital wallet full of NFTs that weren't worth anything because those people disappeared or they didn't have a business plan.
It was just kind of like an idea that somebody came up with at the last second.
And it wasn't well thought out. And the beauty of what we did is we have a parent company that has been in business for 20 years,
a successful business.
You know, we're not a startup.
And on top of that, we're not, I see so many companies, brands, projects,
whatever you want to call them, depending on which I think they have their own categories here.
They use the funds for startup. And then it's like, okay, so we take all the funds. And then how we I mean, me personally, I've started three businesses from the ground up. And anybody who's
done that knows how much time and effort it takes to take the money, start it and produce something.
And you're kind of crazy if you actually think you're most likely going to make a return
probably anywhere less than three years. So now your holders are just along for the ride
for three years. And that's if you're successful and depending on what you do and if it's still relevant. And around here, we change
all the time. Everything evolves in a very fast pace. And so what I love is we're not utilizing
this money to put out the first movie. We're not doing any of that. And so it's not make or break.
People don't have to worry because I feel a lot of other ones,
that is what it is. It's make or break. Like we have to met out or nothing happens. So,
that's just a little bit of trauma from a lot of people that have been here.
And I don't know how you guys feel about that, but I really do feel we have to change that that script and
we need a bunch of people who truly understand business and want to bring
real business here and of course it's got to start somewhere you know um nfts are funny because when
I explain to people what they're going to be in the future and all of the things that we're going
to utilize them for they look at me like I'm crazy if they don't know and they're going to be in the future and all of the things that we're going to utilize them for. They look at me like I'm crazy if they don't know.
And they're like, wait, what?
And I was like, but if we told you that way back when you would think I'm even more crazy.
So it's like, let's put, you know, a rock and then let's put some art and get people in here for a few dollars and kind of explain some things.
And then, of course, then you have, you know, your more elevated art.
And I love watching real world assets be put tied to the blockchain with NFTs and also
fractionalized assets and all of those things.
So, you know, if you've been here a while, you obviously know that we're growing and
expanding.
It's just taking that time.
And so one of the beautiful things with us
is there are a ton of people
in the entertainment industry, obviously,
and in Hollywood and all of the above
that we would be tied to,
that if it hasn't crossed their path yet,
we would at least open that door
and we're starting making those connections.
And so that just is one more little section
that we will obviously be working really hard to touch and reach and bring them over here. And
I'm proud to say I would say the right way where, you know, they'll believe in what we do and you
won't have a bunch of naysayers who get burned and then run away. So that's probably why I'm
really passionate about it yeah thank you for
sharing that with us that was that was amazing and uh you know we really appreciate you know
getting your guys perspective on on the industry on what what you guys are in the industry um
and like you were saying um you know having this being in support of a of an already built and well utilized ecosystem does sound really promising.
Like you said, you know, it being a kind of make or break on the mint out kind of puts a lot of
pressure on founders. It puts a lot of, you know, pressure on an ecosystem. But if this is being
integrated into something that is already functional and being utilized and already
tied into, you know, many different things that strengthen the ecosystem in its entirety.
That is really exciting. And I was going to ask, actually, because, you know, you guys seem so
genuine and authentic, as you can probably appreciate, celebrities or people of that nature
utilizing this industry.
It hasn't always been seen in the best light.
How are you guys finding that as a team,
operating in the Web3 space with that kind of reputation
sort of hovering around the space?
Absolutely.
So one thing that I say to everyone is Darcy's been here for longer than most. And the biggest deal is when people ask why it's taken so long
for us to do this, because obviously we started sharing sharing with people this is what we're doing,
right? And we've just kept people up to date. Dylan and I and our entire team,
we have hosted a Twitter space every single Saturday at 3 p.m. Pacific time for the last
three plus years. And we hear about other communities and everything else,
but we also just share where we're at, what we're doing, what's changed, if anything's new.
We just keep people up to date. And then we also allow people to come up and ask us questions
versus sometimes when they're nefarious, right? You go up and you ask a question and the founder,
the community shuts you down. they're like you shouldn't
ask that and we're really we're open books as long as we're allowed to tell you know use anything
about it which on our nft side really we're pretty much an open book there's some things when it comes
to the movies and some of those aspects that we have to keep under wraps until they're ready to be released. But for the most part, we're completely open books.
And so when it comes to people who ask me, well, why has it taken it so long?
And I was like, look, Darcy has spent her whole life building what she has.
She has over 7 million followers on social media platforms collectively.
followers on social media platforms collectively. And she's not going to come here and put a target
on her forehead, especially because some little girl like me who is in the middle of nowhere,
Texas, right? I could scam people potentially, I guess. And would people care? It probably wouldn't
make the news. It might, but probably not, you know,
but when you have such a high profile person, you're under a lot of eyes. You're under a very, you know, watchful, just spotlight. And that, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I might have to mute.
Yeah, no, that's okay.
No, don't worry.
That's all right.
Thank you for answering that question so beautifully.
And, you know, we appreciate, you know,
you guys being such an open book and, you know,
being so receptive
i want to chime in i was enjoying listening to pyro talk and when i realized who she was talking
for possibly i don't want to say that because i'm kind of just tuning in um i was like
oh yeah i remember brandon from wolf punks telling me about these people and he said how wonderful
they were he goes yeah like darcy she's cool as fuck man i'm like oh cool you know as well as like
late night 2 a.m talks and yeah here you guys are so hey everybody i thought he was in the room for a second. I thought he was actually here.
Yeah, I was heavy breathing for a moment.
I'm so sorry.
My baby is 10 months old, and so she's not walking yet.
And she just like took her first step and fell in her face. And so she is she definitely it hurt my mom's heart a little more than I think hers. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to just run away on that moment. But yeah, that that's the thing is I tell people watch how many celebrities have walked away or or they they did it for money, right? They,
And she just took her first step and fell and hit her face.
they weren't even the founders.
They were somebody who,
I hate to say this,
but it's just the truth.
And it's,
they were paid to maybe put out somebody else's agenda.
And it came back to bite them a lot of times,
but Darcy is not the person who's just a face.
She's not,
she's very,
very intelligent. She's a
strong businesswoman. And one of the biggest pluses to working for somebody like her
is she stands up for what's right. And that's what's gotten her as far as
she has in life. So when a director or somebody isn't doing what they should be doing on set,
she's not the type of
woman who's going to cower down and just roll with it because people might think that you have to.
No, she's walked off a set before because it wasn't right or she stood up for other people
and that's really what she wants to be and do. So that's when I said, create that safe environment. That's part of it.
And so she's definitely not going to risk her reputation. And that's why things take time.
Because of the lack of regulations and all of the things that we had, what we wanted to do
is very complex. And so we have to make sure with, you know, the legal team and this
and that just all across the board that we're all green lights and we go because we've known that
we wanted all of our holders to be able to share in the box office profits. But we obviously had
to make sure that that was done a strategic and specific way. And so I will just say with Darcy, from me and when anybody gets to
know her, you'll know that she's one of the people that she plans, plans, plans, prepares,
and has a backup plan all the way to letter Z. And of course that takes time but you know that you're going to get quality things because
she's not here for the quick money for even the highlights or you know to make the news
of any any store like that so um I would say it's different having a more high profile person on the
team um than any of the other things that I've done in Web3, but it's 100%
worth it in this case. And so I hope people rest easy knowing that and just truly get to know her
because she's one of the few people that will actually join the spaces and you can come up
and talk directly to her. It's not like she's untouchable or unreachable. Sorry, that was a really long explanation.
No, that's totally okay.
We absolutely love it and we appreciate it.
And, you know, like these spaces that we host are long form on purpose
because, you know, we really enjoy these conversations,
getting to know you guys, getting to know what you're trying to do,
what you've done, helping people learn.
And, you know, we want to try and slow down the space a little bit to give people the opportunity to learn these things
and get to know the people behind the screens and get a feel for what people are trying to accomplish.
Because, you know, there's a lot of ecosystems where there's so much depth and purpose and meaning and value
that you just don't really get to see and experience.
And, you know, and we can hear that in your voice as a perfect example.
You know, this matters to you. This means something to you.
And, you know, we all show up every single day because we care, because this is who we are.
And this industry has created so many opportunities for people to find who they are, learn new skills, connect with people around the world.
You know, it's really helped social media kind of be shaped into meaning something internally rather than just externally.
And it being more about who you want to become rather than who you look like you are.
And we think that that's
that's just incredible um so when we find amazing people and teams uh who want to accomplish things
and utilize this amazing technology and this amazing space to to really do great things it's
really inspiring so yeah however long these conversations are we we appreciate every single
second of them and we've done these for years and we'll do it for many years to come so that we get to find more people like you guys.
So I appreciate you guys taking the time to really dive deep and break down these conversations.
I am actually back. I was a quick meeting. I just heard everything that you were saying.
say that, you know, one being in, you know, the, the group chat that you guys have on X,
you know, and seeing you guys constantly building, you know, and really being about community and
brands and people that are building for the right reasons in the right ways.
I really appreciate what you guys are doing. I think Pyro would agree. You know, we all need to do our part,
whether it's helping people who are new into the space, you know, teaching them security measures
to protect themselves, even, you know, letting people know, hey, this is a good brand. This is
a good company. You know, we have, you know, in our spaces that we do every Saturday, we have
great brands and people that come in that are doing amazing things, just like you guys.
And we're always trying to put people together, like piecing them together as well.
Like, oh, you know, Crypto Billy, who was in the space earlier, we're like, hey, Crypto Billy, you should talk with Sid or hey, you should get involved with, you know, and have Jintoken from the Vault community on
or, you know, we've had, you know, Quakey on as well.
You know, we've had obviously MetaRides, you know,
they've been around for a long time
and we've been partnered up with them for years as well.
But it takes all of us doing these types of things
and supporting each other.
You know, when you have givers that come together and, and find each other and start working
together, whether it's just supporting or you're actually, you know, doing business together,
it's amazing what can happen. You know, we are blessed enough to have that within our team.
And over the years, the community that has come together with us, around us, and us supporting them as well,
it's amazing seeing how everything is coming together. It really, it's cool to watch the development. You know, we're seeing the really
great brands, great companies, great minds coming together. That's how you build amazing things. And
the scammers and that, they kind of push themselves out. Like you're able to kind of,
when the good ones come together, the rest kind of fall off, which is kind of nice. But,
but yeah, it's, it's exciting and i i we
really appreciate you guys yeah thank you so much that means more than we could ever tell you um
and you know we we think you're absolutely right you know we've we've seen ourselves um and it's
exciting to actually see that come to fruition because you know there are a lot of good people out there trying to do good things.
You know, and that's what this space is hopefully trying to highlight are the people that are building for all the right reasons.
And, you know, the way to find more people is to connect like this.
And it's great that you guys are doing that on a daily basis.
That will really strengthen your community and help people learn to know more
about who you are as people as well as who you are as a project and as an entity so you know it
seems like you guys are doing a really great job um you know just with speaking with your team
tonight it's clear to see that people care that you guys have got a level of connectivity that
is you know a great vibe you know because that that's so important is people having a feel
for not just who you are individually but how you conduct yourselves as a collective because um and
i know i've said this before and it sounds cheesy but it just is the truth that it's not always about
what you can give people but how what you can help extract from people. And in that regard, I mean that sometimes it's not what you do,
but it's what you can help other people do.
And like you said, when you're around good people,
you can really bring things out of them that they didn't know that was in themselves.
And, you know, we feel that's where the element of purpose comes in,
where you're in the right place at the right time with the right people.
And, you know, it really does bring amazing things to fruition. Yeah, there's a saying called proper preparation prevents poor
performance. And you can put that towards your life towards your business. You know, it's,
you know, preparation meets lucky equals success. You know, so you may, some people think, oh,
they're lucky. Well, you you know it's usually not just
that there's a bit of preparation that was involved with that them getting ready and
building out that foundation and then yeah they may have ended up at the right place at the right
time or got to the right people and then all of it together created that success so um yeah it's it's so true
yeah well said i love that i'm gonna have to write that down that's got to be
that's definitely t-shirt worthy if i could say we are tripping up on my words
but thank you for coming back from from your meeting i hope it went well um
but yeah i just wanted to uh say hello to uh christopher and honeybear as well um apologies
for earlier i had a phone call come through as he joins i didn't catch what he said the first time
but uh thank you for joining the stage christopher how are you doing sir happy friday my friend
uh talking i was at the wrong time but it's okay now i'm at the park with honey bear and uh i was just in the restroom so yeah we're doing good uh being positive fucking doing my fit with my dog going for a walk probably
gonna do a couple miles she's yeah some built up a little bit of nerves you know like she's
kind of walking around the house all nervous and shit i was like we gotta go around or something
so that's what we're doing and it's hot but we we're doing it. So we just got a little water at this little
restroom spot at Wilmore Park
You guys can type that in you'll see where we're at Wilmore Park in st. Louis, Missouri, and there's a rainbow
Look at that. They let you know those fountains for the kids. They just shoot up out of the ground. They have one of those here So there's a rainbow like shining through it right now. That's cool
So there's a rainbow shining through it right now.
That's cool.
What's good with you guys?
I didn't catch everything about pyro stuff.
Like, I read their tweet, though.
So I guess I got filled in pretty good and followed her back.
I'm happy that they're sticking around and not running off and stuff.
So that's cool.
Absolutely.
Yeah, no, thank you, bro.
And I'm glad that you're out with
the dog and the dog's okay and uh yeah rainbows are very beautiful that's it we've got to learn
to make sure that we appreciate the little things in life and uh you know the reasoning behind why
we do what we do because a lot of people in web3 are very passionate and visionaries and you know
they're filled with with purpose and when you're around great communities
it's very inspiring and sometimes that can pull you away from reality a little bit because
you know we're all here trying to accomplish things and in real life you're not always around
people that can see that so another reason why we appreciate the value of community because
having the right people around you help you stay on track which I know you know more than anyone uh christopher because you're one of those amazing people that
help people see the value in themselves oh thanks buddy you too yeah uh yeah yesterday
it was a little shitty for me so i got to share all that stuff with you guys but like yeah so
that's another reason why today i'm like hey i'm gonna take a moment for me and her and
do us you know but once we get home and back
to work though guys i'll be like you know we gotta keep it going uh yesterday i set up my first
discord and got my bots and stuff in there and i was like this is fun and time consuming
yeah it's definitely a whole different kettle of fishes discord which i'm sure we can all agree on um definitely uh
a great app to utilize for harnessing a middle ground for the community but definitely quite
complex if you're new to it yeah i've dabbled before in other servers like when i have permissions
and people need me to do stuff so I'm not just like yeah first time go
at it but it's still like oh yeah there's a lot to work out here yeah oh I more about what was it
the star dogs I was reading their utilities about that and I was like oh okay yeah chance of being
movies and stuff I was like I I'm definitely down for that stuff like honey bear and i hell yeah like put me in the background cool like i'm down um and like from what brandon said you guys are all about like
dog risk stuff as well or i don't know everything but i'm always good for that too so so i'll give
you i'll give you a quick rundown of a few of the things so yeah so depending on which one you get
you can get opportunities to be in our movies.
We've also got opportunities to be able to learn from, you know, for a day, the director on set or learn from the producers, potentially submit a script idea.
If you get the right NFT, be able to submit music for musicians.
We have a charity aspect to our NFTs as well. Part of that goes towards the,
you know, rescue of animals. But then also one of the charities that we work with is called
Protect.org, well-known charity, been around for a long time, and it helps to get children out of
bad situations that you would not want to see on the dark web. Let's
just put it that way. And so they send with protect.org, they hire on veterans, Green Beret,
they send them, you know, to these places where they've found where the photos or videos originate from, they go in to get these
perpetrators and sometimes they find the children in those homes. So we've raised money for them in
the past. Darcy has done it with sales from her books and donated that to that charity. So we're
going to donate a portion from what we're doing with Stardogs to them as well.
And then one of the big utilities that we just recently announced about two weeks ago is that all of our holders will have the opportunity to get a portion of the profits
from our films moving forward.
And we've got about 30 years worth of films that we have planned to produce.
worth of films that we have planned to produce. Now we also work with other films. I actually had
Now, we also work with other films.
to step out for about 15 minutes for a movie that we're helping with the marketing and branding for.
For those of you who have heard of the movie The Blind, which was about the Duck Dynasty family,
that movie is being re-released at the end of August, and we're helping with the marketing for that.
Last year, we had seven films release, and our private sale holders actually,
a few of them got opportunities to be in a couple of our movies. So that's just an overview of some
of the things. And then we have a metaverse aspect to our company as well. It's called
Income Island. And yeah, there's a lot of different things. We do we have a metaverse aspect to our company as well. It's called Income Island.
And yeah, there's a lot of different things. We do spaces every Saturday, 3 p.m. PST. So if you ever want to learn more, feel free to come through. But I want to tell you guys again,
thank you so much for having us today and just treating us like family as you guys know you're always all welcome in our spaces
We love to support everybody who's you know doing things the right way and for the right reasons
Oh, that's lovely. Yeah, good finish up in there. I like that. I'm down with that, too
Yeah, I mean I guess we'll probably wrap it up pretty soon uh i've really enjoyed
tuning with you guys tonight it's uh it's been great to hear what you guys been up to
um you know i think we we spoke you know quite a while ago um you know it could even be in the
matter of years more or so months and um it's great to see the progress that you guys are
making you know you guys always turn up and uh yeah i see the progress that you guys are making you know, you guys always turn up and yeah, I see you
I see you guys
I see I'm following your backup
Tick-tock account bacon and you're gonna follow me back. That's what I see brother
Back up account, I don't know what you're talking about
All right, well then it's somebody's copying you. I don't know. Maybe it's your real one but you look real legit man
I'm like why is bacon not following me? I have the fattest plus on this screen right now. Like come on
Yeah so I've got one account and I've got like a secret account
Which I don't sort of do.
I don't know if you talk about my secret account.
Stay safe out there, everybody.
But yeah, I mean, there'd be scammers out there, boys and girls.
Be careful.
Imitators everywhere.
That's why spaces like this are important because you can
you can separate the garbage you know go straight to the source absolutely but uh yeah i was laughing
sorry carry on oh i was saying good point bacon i got i actually said that to a friend i was like
you know if you can tie discord to following somebody on a couple
different social media apps and that's how you can at least verify a little bit you know start
seeing who's behind the pfp rather than just talking to somebody on discord that's i don't know
name neo you know for life 144. uh i can't even be sure who they are is like isolated
who they are is that you guys look base absolutely it's why you know research is extremely important
and you know we appreciate that a lot of people that we speak to have that at the forefront
you know it's always important to do research check across multiple platforms so that you can
be 100 we've learned a lot from bacon around, you know, cyber security and crypto and blockchain and trying to stay safe and learning what to look for and, you know, how to dive into these things.
So definitely if you are on TikTok, find Bacon's original account, which you can find through him personally.
And then you can see the content that he does actually post because it's very valuable and many people have benefited from it.
But, yeah, be careful, especially with TikTok because there are a lot of impersonators out there
um so yeah you do have to be careful but it has been an amazing space i'll never dm you unless
it's to be inappropriate unless it's to discuss the sources on sandwiches in a much finer detail.
Or to invite you to speak on our spaces.
That's the only other excuse I have to DM people.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Yeah, we usually communicate with people to connect and to explore spaces.
And we never ask anyone for anything.
We never ask anyone any for money
you know there is a lot of that with with bad actors in the space unfortunately utilizing you
know people following you and following your friends to try and catch you out but you legends
are too savvy for that and that's awesome but it's great that we still help people who are still new
to the space to keep an eye out for that because it is kind of a newish
concept at that caliber so you know well done everyone for for touching on these things and
cross-referencing but it has been an amazing space uh it's been awesome to learn more about
stardogs to learn more about darcy donovan about how people can um really enjoy your ecosystem and
it's been amazing to speak to your amazing team um pyro um you and
mama did an amazing job as well as you dylan uh really breaking down what you guys do um and
showing us a bit of a taster for you guys as people why this matters to you um what it is
that you want to accomplish what's already been accomplished and the approach that you wish to
take um and by standing on your
business like that and showing up every day and supporting the community and seeing value in the
community first when you are at the caliber that you're at um really does bring hope to this space
and how it can be utilized so you know great job on that and it's definitely been a pleasure
speaking with you guys i do see someone looking to jump up on the stage we are coming to an end
but i will get you up real quick if there's um something that you want to touch on um before we
before we do call it a night there's uh three uh three long musty happy friday my friend thank you
for listening to the space tonight hey thank you for having me. I had a question about your Web3 space in particular.
I was thinking if, you know, for long-term growth on whether it be you featuring Stardogs,
whether it be everybody in this space,
is there something that you guys are looking for that is not being provided
or not, I guess, to help you guys grow?
I guess to help you guys grow
is there certain things that you have in mind?
Is there certain things that you have in mind?
Is that question to community of communities
or to Stardogs?
Community of communities.
Everyone as a whole for the Web3 space
because I'm very new in this environment.
So as far as ecosystems goes,
I didn't know if there was something that is missing
that you guys could say,
hey, there's massive growth potential if we did X, Y, and Z.
So I'll go and then I'd love to hear everybody else's opinions as well, because I think
there's a lot of opinions when it comes to that. I think the big thing is, is you have a lot of people who jump around a lot.
They're looking for the quick dollar, whether that is flipping NFTs, flipping tokens.
They're looking for that next 10x, 100x, 1000x, whatever that number is,
and not necessarily looking for the businesses that are building.
You know, when you look at technology like this that has come around in the past, so let's just
say internet. I'm not going to say it's like this, but you look back in the 90s, it was very much what
we're dealing with right now. You had a lot of people coming in and out, trying to make a quick dollar. And there was a
lot of people that did, but it was the ones who stayed, the ones who were really building a
business and saw the future of how this can change people's lives. Those are the ones that are still
around that are making a difference. Even to the point you look at, and as a company, you also have
to be willing to pivot and evolve. You've got to have that R&D department within your company, or being willing to listen
to your community and listen to your employees and say, okay, this is where things are evolving.
How can we incorporate this in? How can we pivot and continue to grow as a business or as people within the space. And I think that mentality
is missing from a lot of people because, I mean, let's be honest, you have a lot of people in Web
3 that never have actually been able to invest in the stock market. And this is like the stock
market for them. So they don't know what they're
doing they don't know what's involved um and you know because they've never been an accredited
investor um they they don't know what it takes and so they're just like quick money that's it
so i think really by putting either supporting and putting eyeballs on the companies and the brands that are building in this space, that needs to happen more.
And helping to educate people to really look for those companies.
Because that long-term money, the long-term building is really where the big money can be.
That's like when you're investing in Google,
you know, versus investing in your mom and pop shop next door. Both are great. Both have value,
but which one's going to make you more? Look at that long-term, the slow, steady build versus the hype and the quick one-off. So almost like trust in the vision and trust in the utility more than trying to make a quick buck. Correct. You know, and the people behind it, I had said early in the space, you
know, I'll go to a place where I believe I am taken care of as a customer. I'll go to a restaurant
where they treat me like family. Even if I have to drive an hour to get there, I'll travel just for that experience
versus maybe there's a place closer, better food, but they don't care about who I am.
I'd rather go to the one that's further away.
Understood. And Pyro is the one that brought me in. So I'd love, yeah, Pyro, please come on here.
I love it. So I was going to tell you a lot like we were talking last night about.
So for those that don't know him, he is a big trading card collector, buyer, seller.
And there are people that come in to, you know, it's just like the regular world trading cards and we're the digital world
of it. It's the easiest way to explain it to people that don't know NFTs and what we do over
here. And so it's just like that. It's people that literally buy in hopes that they get, you know,
hit a big card and sell and they're just in it for the gamble
or the quick hits and they're out. Or then there's the people that care about everybody else that's
buying and they build the community, right? They share cards, trade cards within each other and
whatnot. So there's that, that I think is really important. And also the other thing that I try to
teach community members is just like Dylan was talking about, like if you put money in your 401k, a lot of times either somebody else is handling your portfolio or maybe you do, but you don't check it every day.
I mean, there are some people that do, but there's a lot of people that just kind of like, yeah, throw it in there and we'll see what it does whenever, you know.
And it's up to that company to hopefully take that stock somewhere.
I tell people.
That helps me out a lot with what you said with the longevity of collecting
versus quick flipping too. So thank you too.
I'm a card. Listen, I'll say I'm a card collector.
Like when I was a kid, granted, I don't buy and trade cards anymore,
but I still have, I have all my cards that I collected as a kid granted I don't buy and trade cards anymore but I still have
I have all my cards that I collected as a kid you know basketball cards and I remember
Pyro's heard me talk about this I had my dad was given a shoebox full of cards from his uncle you
know and we're I think it's the only time I ever cussed out my dad when he told me that he gave that shoebox full of cards to the like local like shelter or whatever. And I was just like, are you kidding? Because he told
me, you know, oh yeah, there was, you know, newspaper clippings and cards. There was like
Yogi Berra rookies and, you know, Mickey Mantle and all these things. And I cussed him out more
than I ever had. And I was a kid because I knew the value of what the, what they were worth and what they would be worth.
Cause I was looking as a kid, I was going and trying to get, you know, 1986 flare,
FLIR basketball cards, you know, it was the year of the rookies, um, for in the NBA, you know, with Jordan and Barkley and all of those. And I just, I knew what was
going. So I have my, you know, all those original basketball cards that I collected. I have
Garbage Pail Kid cards, all those different things. And I never said, oh, I'm just going to
sell them, you know, for the quick money. I still hold them because I know over time, the value is just going to continue to go up on them.
That helps me out a lot mindset-wise with what you guys are trying to accomplish.
I'm a long-term collector.
I don't sell at all, have never sold.
I have almost 70,000 cards in inventory that are in pristine condition.
So the mindset of being able to invest in something early, keep
hold, and then just watch the vision grow to me is more valuable long-term than just going, okay,
I made, you know, 25 bucks here. And then I got 33% taxes taken off that. So I've really made 13
bucks. It's just, I'm not into that. So I'm glad that you guys kind of helped me out with that.
Yeah, no worries. I mean, you hear, you do hear of helped me out with that yeah no worries i mean you hear you do hear stories of
people like with bitcoin when it first launched and the guy who you know bought a pizza for like
10 000 bitcoin well that 10 000 bitcoin right now he would have been a multi-billionaire you know
had he waited you know at the time it was maybe worth 20 bucks, you know, it was enough or 40 bucks enough to, you know, pay for his pizza at the time.
But now, you know, and that story still every year, every time we see the market going up, that story comes back around.
You know, it's funny.
Before too long, we're going to say all that ourselves with all the gas fees that we all paid back in the day.
So, you know, it's okay.
It'll equivalent to, you know, billions of dollars down the drain eventually. But one thing I was
just going to say is the biggest thing I try to teach people is don't rest on your laurels and
put your mouth where your money is. And don't expect the project to carry you. Don't invest
in something and then just sit around and be like, yep, I hope something
happens.
You can.
I know that people are busy, but for every person that gets out there and does something,
right, your net work is your net worth.
And that's what people have to remember.
And you can't buy what you don't know is for sale.
So if I don't tell you what I do, then you have no clue that maybe the next person that's to your left could really use what I do
and vice versa. And so the more that we allow people to connect and stay in their lane and do
what they're really good at, and then we connect all of those dots together, then we will just be
incredibly successful. So I think that's
one of the biggest things about making community and why it matters. Because there's a lot of
people that are like, I don't have time for Twitter. And not everybody does. But there's
different ways that you can be involved. All kinds. Sometimes it's once a month, sometimes
it's a couple times a year. You never know. But the more that you're involved, the more you're
going to be up to date on what's going on. And the more you can really just genuinely see what
people are trying to do. And you're just keyed into the rapport with everything. Because Web3
is so small. I tell people all the time, you can't tangle with somebody else's girl and not be
found right now. It's just we're so small. Don't be doing nefarious things
because you're definitely going to be outed very fast. So. Oh, thank you, Pyro. And thank you too,
for everybody even, you know, letting me join in and asking these questions because that's
important to me. I invest into communities. I invest into people. I don't really invest into
cards per se or NFTs, but if i can see the vision and i can see
what it's worth i am a huge advocate and a huge proponent for everything that i need to do
to make sure that it goes successful so i appreciate everything
that was a brilliant question by the way as well such a such a brilliant question and
you know it says a lot about your mindset as well which which i thought was a really good question
you know because that is that is a really good way to look at things, is like, you know, what's missing, you know, what needs to be
filled, which, yeah, it is a really hard question, I mean, I can't really speak on what's missing,
per se, or, you know, what you could do to fill a gap for growth, but one of the things I will say
that I've seen over the four years I've been around is that authenticity seems to be really powerful.
And I'm kind of really glad of that because that's the one thing you have.
No one else has is you.
There's only one and will only ever have been one you, which is quite inspiring and motivating because being yourself is the ultimate goal for everyone. So I think finding out who you are and being not so much proud of
that, but humbled by it, I think helps create great, authentic relationships later down the
line as well. So having those authentic connections with people really speak testament to what Web3
can really bring when it's obviously tied into social media. And you sound like a really confident person that's driven to succeed in and connecting.
So thank you for jumping in and asking those questions
because that was a really brilliant,
thought-provoking question.
And I appreciate that too.
And it gave me a ton of ideas that I already have
that I'm going to get with Pyro on.
I'm going to get with a bunch of people.
Like when you said the movie theater space,
when you were talking about going into the meta,
I'm big into the meta world. like going into the meta if i can use
ai as a platform to say create a play or a movie using ai to make a movie in ai in the metaverse
i've already like ideas are already flowing so it was very very helpful
yeah that's awesome thank you so much and thank you as well to uh to dylan as well
and pyro for answering that question i do see another hand up um krypton mouse here have you
got a a response to uh the question that was asked or do you have a question yourself

so we really do appreciate you guys for that as well and we're also you know building a project
of our own our nft book project which is a collaborative project it's our way of
showcasing the true value of web 3 if you through collaboration over competition um we've been
working on this book for quite a while it's almost reached its point of completion so we're super
excited about that um we will be doing another book in the future so if it the first one is
something you enjoy or you appreciate and you want to collaborate with us further on that
and check out what we've done with the first book you can get all the information you need via our
website which is communityofcommunities.xyz there you will find all the information of us this
movement which is what the community communities is for anyone that might not know it's a web3
movement of positivity that's why we have a plus next to one name because that's our way of showcasing our purpose and our passion and our movement of positivity and believing that everyone

what the plus represents and it's our way of showcasing our unity without sacrificing our

Once again, thank you.
We did amazing tonight.

Thank you so much.
I'm super excited to hear about you guys and what you're doing.
And so I definitely will be jumping into your spaces and you know,
I'm happy to be a part of your community.
So very glad that like mine gets a cross path and great things come from it.
So I just want to really genuinely say thank you for,
for doing what you do because it's not easy and um
those that see value in it are the ones that matter so just keep putting it out there and
continue what you're doing because you know as as we all build and take time and and build these
relationships then I just know that one day it's like you work and work and work and work
and then all of a sudden just everything kind of I don't want to say blows up because that's a really bad, you know, mental picture, but in a good way.
Right. It's all just going to snowball in and flow.
And we're all going to be like, yep, we were there.
Yep, we were there. We all had a hand in building it. And some of my absolute best friends and people that I lean on in my life are people I met right here in Web3.
We all had a hand in building it.
And you said it perfectly earlier. And that is being able to reach people that if we didn't have this platform or, you know, the ability to reach all the way across the world, we wouldn't.
the ability to reach all the way across the world, we wouldn't, I mean, I wouldn't know what it's
like to live, you know, somewhere else. I'm just in the middle of Texas versus, you know, halfway
around the world. So keep connecting to people, keep asking that question of what can you do for
someone else and keep the mind open and the wheels turning because here in web3 just the opportunities are endless
so don't let any anybody box you in and just keep doing the good stuff so thank y'all for having on
