Hello everyone, this is Roxane and we're starting the Twitter space. We're just going to let folks trickle in. I see Reena. Reena, I will invite you up to this stage as soon as I figure out how to do this.
to speak. There we go. And then she fives. I assume that Feven is menning the booth there. So inviting you to speak as well. All right. Hey, can you hear me? Yes. I can hear you're perfectly high.
Hi, Reena. Hi, how are you? I'm very good. How are you? Good. It's nice to finally meet you. Definitely. I saw you in the community call yesterday and you just did such a good job talking about Abin and I'm excited to dive deeper into that.
And yeah, opening up the space for more underrepresented voices and folks to join cabin. Yeah, thank you. It wasn't yesterday, right? It was last week. Oh, it was last week. Oh my gosh. Maybe that's something else to talk about, you know, how flowers.
I see Trial is popping in. Trial is just going to invite you to speak to you can keep your mic off if you want but I'm just going to put you on the spot and have you here too.
All right, um, she fi is um, feb in there. I don't know if you are.
No, okay. All right. I didn't know I didn't hear what you were saying. It was connecting to the speaker and you said something. Hi, I just said I'll put you on display and I'm not used to the stage anyway. So here I am. I love me at my mic again. Thanks. All right. Yep. I'm in his speaker now.
Hey, how are you doing? I am very good. Excited. Yeah, it's been a while. So for everyone who's here, Febin was in our summer and the Sierra's experience around August. So that's where I first met her. It wasn't me.
So we will be digging into that during this call as well. So we've got a good number of people. Oh, J. request, all right. Yeah, so everyone, hi, I'm Roxine. I'm one of the core contributors here.
here in cabin. And for this Twitter space, we just wanted to see what it's like to actually give space and to give a platform and use cabins platform to amplify other voices, underrepresented voices. And today we have a couple of very
guests. We have Reena and Fevin from She-Fi. So Reena kick started the initiative of Women at Cabin earlier last year because you guys heard us talking about it. And then Fevin is here talking about She-Fi and the amazing stuff that y'all are doing in the
DeFi space. So I can talk about cabin a little bit, but before I do that, I would love our two lady panelists here to introduce themselves. Fabian and Rina, can you talk about your projects and how you got into the Web3 space and into those projects?
Roxy, we also have Katie here. Just wanted to bring Katie up to the stage as well from Seem. Welcome Katie. Is it which one is the profile? Okay, I've never done this before guys are bear with me. Which one is Katie?
The one with the crypto-cub in profile photo. No, the nice sunset with some water. Yeah. I think Katie should make their own Dow. Katie Dow.
And then Andrejus be joining as well. Thanks everyone for joining. Awesome. Thank you for that. Let me know when Andrea joins in. I will also invite her to speak. Yeah. Fevon Rina, floor is yours for a little bit.
Hi, yeah, so I can go first my name is Kevin I'm part of she fi I Think I got into a web 3 like about a year and a half ago. I was a college student and I was in this program called be writing the code for
called Women Taking Computer Science classes and there was this blockchain course that they offered and actually funny enough Maggie founder of Shefai Her friend Danny was also part of the like she was one of the mentors for the program and so that's one of the ways I actually found out
about C5 just like a year ago. And then so went down the rabbit hole of course and was obsessed and then decided you know I kind of want to do this whole time and then once a few conferences met Maggie had a blast and then
and I started helping out with C5 and so I've been here and let's see. I really love the space and I really love cabin and I had such a fun time in August with all the people that I met at Montaya. Yeah.
Thanks, Feb. We had a really great time just getting to know each other outside of work. It was amazing.
was, well, I was connected to Cabin through Chalice who connected me to John primarily because I have experience and facilitation and have kind of always had this calling or I would say like vision to help connect, give help give voices
to Indigenous communities through DALs. And so a big part of my work right now is to help DALs connect more to Indigenous communities, but also bring in the principles that have been practiced over generations to the modern world of tech and I think Web
three is kind of a way that that's kind of happening right now in the world. And I also currently run a company called SheHealth, which is what also introduced me to the Web3 space. We are democratizing access to mental and sexual health services for teens and young adults.
Currently are kind of have been in this like on this long journey to build our community, but have also been thinking about building our own DAO to build spaces where we're able to have our community members actually help each other access services that are traditionally and accessible.
So that's that's kind of another project that I've been working on. Yeah, those are those are amazing projects that I am glad that you are working on and that many more people are working on. I think with cabin like our slogan is conservative colo create and I think the conservative part is
Actually the part where people kind of ask us, oh, what are you doing to conserve? But having I think having these ideas around how do we actually respect these generations of practices you mentioned for years and years and not just trying to turn everything into a tecotopia is a very important conversation to have.
have an important set of practices and ideas to kind of adopt. I think, Greena, we can start with you on this. You're very passionate about these social issues. I would love to know how did you come into awareness of this and how did you start working on
And then, Kevin, we can jump to you once Reena has done with her sharing as well. Yeah, definitely. So in general, I was connected into the kind of the social justice activism space when I was a teenager myself. So I was, you know, saw a lot of group visiting, you know, spending my summers visiting India.
I spent a lot of time in rural communities, also seeing a lot of, working in a lot of spaces where there was an access to infrastructure. And so that kind of got me into the, in my early days, I guess that's what introduced me to that social justice activism, poverty alleviation.
space when I was 17 started at Health and Education nonprofit in India and a big part of our work was there was to create these almost like decentralized pods where you know we created pods of youth in one community and they would
address health, education, economic inequities in their own communities. And then we would train them and then they would go to another community close by. And so over the years, we've kind of, the organization has touched over 25,000 individuals across multiple districts through Eastern and Western India.
And at this time, I didn't know anything about Web 3, the kind of the language around decentralization. Like, there wasn't none of that language really existed. I think it did exist, but it hadn't kind of reached the world of tech yet, I would say. This was like 12 years ago. I mean, I guess it
had, but I didn't even know the web 3 space existed. And so it's really interesting because so many of the principles that we practiced in building that organization in India, I'm now seeing applied into the space of tech. And so it feels like, okay, I've done this before. I just did this, you know, start doing this
years ago in these rural communities where we weren't using tech but it's it was like the same principles are being applied to the space here and now. Yeah I think so I come from a religious Christian background and the way Dow is are built it's very similar to how churches operate
So I really believe when you say like how you build these organizations from the grassroots up it's very similar to how web 3 is operating and I think that's something I'm very thankful for in web 3 and that we're not just throwing out the web to baby with a path water that were well at least a lot of us are trying to build from the mistakes and the lessons
from web to into that into web 3 as well. So we've got a couple of folks who I actually have not introduced or have not introduced themselves. We have Kathy and Andrea. Would you guys mind coming off mute and introducing yourselves to everyone here as well?
Yeah, of course. Hi, hi everyone. My name is Andrea. I'm from Peru. I'm working on a project for Indigenous resiliency called Nolo Dow. It's basically a Dow that acts for three main subjects as an Indigenous knowledge that
database that's on blockchain as art using art as a cultural environmental preservation and as an incubator for social entrepreneurship, they're basically allowing Indigenous communities to be reinserted in the economy. What were the prompts to introduce ourselves
I'm from Peru and I've been working with communities for 14 years, nine years in architecture and urbanism, social and past projects. But yeah, I can totally expand on more things. Yeah, we can go to Kathy and then back to Andrea and then to
in the afterwards. So Kathy, Erin, drop. Hey, so it's Katie. I am based in New York working on seam, which is a creative tool to build web-through spaces that are community-owned and developed. My background is in design and specifically focused
on women's healthcare and community oriented design. And I got into Web 3 through contributing to FWB, where I've been running featured friends for the past couple of years. So things for having me. Yeah, okay. Now we have our full panel introduced finally. So all of our ladies are here. And so the
prompt that arena was answering is how did you become passionate about this corner of the space that you're working in? Yeah, and just kind of tracking your path maybe from web to or wherever else and how did you get into web through that passion? I think Feb and you are up next.
Yeah, that's such a great question. I would say while I was in college, I was working for this like food systems operation. I was originally like an environmental science and forestry major, before I switched majors, but I was
working with this group called Fuse Systems Working Group and was essentially where we would audit and track what the school would buy so that we can advocate for healthy foods. And my whole role was basically advocating for farmers
advocating for small gardens that students can make. So it's basically like the core values were decentralization of food like within the campus and local community and then basically like autonomy
And then it's so very similar values to what crypto and decentralized technologies hold so that whole part of decentralization and you know permissionless
technology that where you can own your own financial freedom essential and so that really connected me to What crypto was or what the potential of web 3 was because I was ready working on
things within my day to day or within that job of values I already cared about. And so that was just very easy for me to find the parallels. And yeah, I think like again, like SiFi's motto is financial
freedom is feminine, right? Really you want to get women and I binary folks to really understand the ecosystem because it's so deep, right? So I think that's how my answer is. Oh, that's amazing.
and definitely want to dig deeper into that. Anyone of the other three ladies feel free to come up with an answer and also for the four of you all feel free to jump in at any time. I'm just starting things off as kind of the facility, but feel free to turn this into a conversation and jump in whenever.
Okay, I can jump in. The way I got into Web 3, well I feel like just like everyone that I've been hearing right now in the panel, I've always believed in these things, right? In autonomy and decentralization and just like having
having spaces where as a centralism wasn't the way of acting. I've been working with communities for 14 years initially with the slums, initially the projects that I wanted to do were basically like a hybrid between a nonprofit and social entrepreneurship to help redevelop slums in Lima.
From there, and then I started going to these conferences with indigenous elders from the end traditions and then I started learning more about how they settled in spaces and doing university conferences, learn things like that.
But once I started learning about these indigenous practices, just also because my family kind of roots come from there farther back in, I kind of found a lot of answers to things that I was looking for and the project ended up moving to working with indigenous communities.
for the past 11 years. And I would always try to look for a way where it didn't end up in an ascentualist type of manner where, you know, through a nonprofit, I would be depending on the funding of different entities to be able to
work with the communities. I don't think that any of those ways and even maybe like founding a company with like the similar structures that it's been having like the hierarchical spaces and stuff like that. I feel like it wouldn't really allow the indigenous communities to have full sovereignty and autonomy.
me and one last year I helped open up this NFT Art Gallery space in Art Basel in Miami. I'm living there now. I'm living here now. And that's when I just started looking into the technical aspects of Web 3 and started looking into, you know, the Transparency
and see transactions, the dals, NFTs bringing the power back to creators and then it was like, wait, maybe instead of only bringing the power back to creators, what about bringing the power back to the ones that are the wisdom keepers, the ones that are holding this knowledge, right? And that's kind of how Nolo was born. But definitely has been
and in my ideals, my whole life. So whenever I actually saw the technical aspects of it, even though the technology still has a lot to grow, I feel like in Web 3, the underlighting philosophy is the one that really resonated with me for working with communities and actual sovereignty.
Yeah, I love that. I'm bringing the power back to the wisdom keepers and I'm starting to see a common thread between all these experiences. So I'm going to have a follow up question to that. Reena and Katie.
Oh, what do you have a follow-up question or can I jump? I'll do it all up after everyone has spoken. Oh, awesome. Yeah, I actually, they actually reminded me of, yeah, my actual first experience wasn't even, I guess, the nonprofit to say,
but definitely even my own family history. So I started studying my family history over the last thousand years and learned that so many of these practices were present in pastown and like I mentioned, like the wisdom was passed down over several generations.
And as I started to study different agricultural practices and just ways in which the community supported each other and how it was so interconnected, but then also so decentralized at the same time really made me want to investigate it a little bit and ended up writing a book about those thousand years in this tradition.
and practices that were passed down over time. And so I think my family has definitely, and a lot of these traditions that have been passed down were definitely one of my first examples. And even now I kind of look back at that research and the writing and think about how a lot of those
those practices can be applied in the world today and in organizations today. That's amazing. Yeah, definitely. We'll be digging into that as well later on. Everyone's just so interesting. I just want to go into all these radicals. Katie, it's not you.
Yeah, I was really lucky to stumble into FWB as friends with benefits for those that don't know if they kind of consider themselves a URL meets IRL online social club. And so they do pop up events at conferences
that are really arts and culture focused and partnerships with artists across like music and visual arts. So I found my way into this space really where it kind of connected naturally with hobbies that I'd had and I think I was one of those kind of, you know, after hours,
through people for a long time before I felt confident kind of jumping in with my full-time energy. And I think as I've gotten deeper and deeper, I've sort of, I guess, connecting with other people's stories and sort of thinking about my own, like other interests
and work interests and things I've been thinking about. I just found that there was more and more opportunity whether that was financial, whether it had to do with equality or access to information. And it's just kind of been around it whole. Yeah, I mean, I think that's a perfect segue actually to one of the questions I've been into.
Y'all is, what have the challenges and lessons been so far for all four of you working in the Web 3 space? It could also be similarities and differences between what you've experienced, maybe pre-U Web 3. So any one of you can jump in first.
I can start on this one. I was just talking to someone about this yesterday. There's this weird or more pervasive feeling of FOMO than I've ever felt in an industry that I've worked in before. And I was originally thinking, oh, it's because things move so fast in the 24/7, but speaking to one of my friends, I was kind of reminded that a lot of it has to
do with the lack of centralization and information. It's like I wasn't at our basil and I still feel like I missed out a little bit when anyone talks about it or I was at something but I couldn't make all of the talks that I wanted to make. And so there's this interesting kind of like intangible movement of information through this space and that's
I think it's a huge challenge to just grapple with, like, I will never know everything that's going on all the time, because there's no single source of truth, which is like an amazing pro and also kind of, you know, just a unique challenge. That's interesting, because we're here. We're all talking about decentralization. Maybe some people on this call are even decentralization maxes, but we're seeing
is, one of the struggles is actually things not having, not being centralized or having a single source of truth. So that's a very interesting point. I'm just gonna put that out there. Anyway, I also want to jump in. Yeah, I agree with Katie actually. I feel that it's not about going into the redicalities of like the
the sides of the spectrum, right? I think my whole life I was like, oh yeah, decentralization, like everyone in the same space and stuff, but then there's also leadership and then there's also like leadership comes with central like like leadership. They know some type of hierarchy thing, right? And that there's nothing wrong with that if you can put it with
in a radial space, right? Like if you can allow for leadership to always be in constant movement in like this organism of a dowel and things like that, then we're going more into governance things. But I think that there are spaces for centralization and that there are spaces for decent, and so I don't think it's like one or the other. And one of the like I
totally resonate with that challenge because I feel like somehow time goes way faster in what three like it's like just like everything is extending exponentially. So you have to kind of be it like everywhere all at once, right? And I think that's one of the beauties of community that like I think that at the beginning of like, you know,
know at the beginning I thought that I had to learn everything. So I studied like so many so many things just because I felt like I had to be the one that knew all of the things that needed to happen for me to do this project right for that I felt but like I feel like it's about community it's about like being able to lean on each other and like like
realize that maybe my leadership or my space or my specialty is here and then someone else is in this other space and how we can I don't necessarily need to know the full depth of that whole situation but I can know just one little thing that can kind of make me help me see the bigger picture and things like that right yeah definitely and from the kind of
conversation that's sounding like decentralization and decentralization. They're both just tools and we take out the right tool for the right situation versus saying, oh, decentralization is a principle of mine. We just say, okay, this is the hammer for the job right now or the screwdriver for the job. Yeah, I definitely resonate.
with a lot of that I I often feel like I don't know enough and I don't feel like I need to know more. So that's that's been a challenge of mine or just like okay how much information is enough and how much do I just learn as I go. The other piece is just knowing what I think I think Web 3 had a
There is a lot of hype around Web 3 for a while and maybe there still is. And so I know a child's of mine has been, okay, how do I find the people in the space that are really serious about it and that are kind of like in this for the long haul and truly truly believe in it versus those, the projects that are kind of following the hype.
And so I think that's kind of been a personal, personal challenge in journey of mine. And I think slowly as I've kind of been putting myself out there, I think I have been finding the people or like kind of, you know, meeting the right people and getting, knowing cabin, it's kind of like an example of that, for sure.
I think for me it's definitely the speed and depth of the industry is intimidating but in the past few months so I live in Seattle very liberal and one of the things that's actually challenging personally for me is just talking about crypto projects in real life.
life because all of my friends think it's very cringe. And so that's a very specific personal problem. But it's definitely something like an issue where I'm like, well, you know, how can I make this? How can I make this industry seem less
crins to my, you know, zoomer friends. But again, I agree with everyone and the challenges of, you know, speed depth of industry does seem intimidating. And I'm also getting over that as well. Take some time though. So who knows if I'll ever get over that hump.
Yeah, yeah, hopefully it does get better and that crypto gets less of a bad rap in the future. One question that I do have for you, all of you is when it comes to family and this is maybe a bit of a personal question. So feel free to jump in.
or not, what do they think about you working in Web 3? Not sure if anyone had to leave their job beforehand and then jump into Web 3 or just take a total 180 from their careers, but what do they think about you doing all of these, you know, not as mainstream things?
I can jump in. I mean, my family doesn't understand what I do. Yeah, I like my dad doesn't really, yeah, it's just kind of yeah, I would just say my family doesn't really understand what I do.
Even when I've never really had a full-time job before, ever since I graduated from college, I've always worked for myself and every project has almost been a mystery. And so after some time, my family just stopped asking.
They're very relatable. Yeah, same here. I've probably explained what I'm doing to my parents like like 20 times and I think by
I think they're understanding a little more conceptually what it is. And I mean, they know I've kind of been working on these things my whole life, but they just didn't know how I kind of connected with Web 3 and things like that. So now I think that there's a little bit more of a sense that
Both of my brothers are in investment banking in New York. So it's so fun. That's what I think about more debates come in there. So yeah, it's been fun.
I'm super lucky to have mostly curious and not so many judgemental people in my family. They really want to understand how they can access the upside of crypto. So that's my regular holiday dinner table conversation is just trying to trying to explain
that they should take my insight but also do their own research before just getting hyped and, you know, leaping in. But I think what I really enjoy about those opportunities is like I love talking to people that have very little
understanding of the culture of crypto because you don't get that like cringiness I guess that someone mentioned before because and you can sort of put it in their own terms I'm like okay you're a hairdresser or you know you you like to go eat at nice restaurants or whatever you're sort of like framing
of references and then I get the opportunity to flex my ability to like translate it into your frame of reference. But I'm lucky that I don't have to like kind of push through the barrier of cringe first. Yeah, you're starting from a negative already.
And well, I'm asking this question because we just finished Canadian Thanksgiving. So everyone on the call, get ready for American Thanksgiving and for their Christmas holidays.
Kevin, you got anything? Oh, yes. Sorry. I was like, how do I mention this? Like my family just don't care. In a almost like respectable manner, you know, they know what I do. They do not ask questions. They do not care. So I don't I don't know where we go from there.
fingers crossed I'll have something to talk about at Thanksgiving dinner. Hopefully they're not in the negative and they have an open mind towards that. Yeah and I think this touches on an incredibly interesting issue that we have of you know we have family or maybe
friends who we call them "normies" basically, and they might not understand what we do or they might not be supportive or they're just not able to help us move forward or accelerate our careers or whatever projects we're working on. So for all of you, how do you find that community to
around yourself with where do you find it, maybe what practices you have that help you kind of keep your head in the clouds. Well, everyone else, your family and friends, keep your feet on the ground. Yeah, how do you do that?
I can go first. Honestly, for me, I'm online in the communities that I feel more support of 24/7, essentially. And you know, first I was like, oh, this isn't sustainable. And you know, it really
might not be. And I think that's okay for where I'm at right now where I'm really willing to forego any other maybe past personal development because I'm willing and ready to be so passionate about the space that this is something I'm going to be so dedicated to.
And I'm going to be so dedicated to the spaces that I feel so comfortable in, particularly a lot of women in Web 3 spaces like She-Fi and then also some other in-person groups as well. So I would also suggest that if you're in a major city
And there is like crypto events that you can go to 100% like make the time to go to any of those in-person meetups because I always feel fulfilled and my cup you know quote unquote cubs spelling whenever I do those in-person meetups.
Yeah, definitely. It's interesting working in the community space because it's I feel at least for me, I think this question around community for myself has been this like big existential question of the biggest one of the biggest existential questions of my life.
I spend a lot of time learning about Indigenous communities and those close ties of communities. But yeah, my day to day life, I live in this like very, I wouldn't say that's individualistic because it is very community oriented, but we live very individual lives.
And so I, you know, and the way that I was raised as, you know, it was a revolving door of people coming in and out of my home. There are always, you know, dozens of people on wheat over on weekends or weekdays. And so I was constantly surrounded by that. And I've been kind of on this journey of replicating that in my image.
my life today as an adult. And so one thing that's been really important is building really strong relationships in person just as much as I've been doing that online. And one thing that's been really important to me is that I can walk to my community's home. So like my
my closest friends live within walking distance from me. I live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. And so that's been something that's been that's that's taken a while to find. I also lived in an ashram for three years after I graduated from college. And so living in that ashram really allowed me to see kind of how
how people supported each other and what it was like to live every day and see the same, you know, live every day with the people that you cared about and see them and support them. And so I think living across different, also other types of intentional communities really helps me see how I want to live now.
And in general, specifically around Web 3, I think I'm on this journey of also creating this community of folks who are similarly aligned in Web 3 and in the Dau space. Andre and I are in this collective two other individuals.
who are working with Indigenous communities and just started, I guess like a few weeks or a few months ago, I can't even keep track of time, but that's also been really amazing to kind of feel supported with that group too. Yeah, definitely. I think with what you said individualistic
I totally just resonate with that. I think I read this article around how families are a lot more nuclear, and the richer a country is, the more likely it is for people to live alone. I think now that we've seen that over the pandemic, it's really, I guess, a lot of people
to live alone, but because you don't have to worry about other people, but it's almost like sometimes it is kind of fun to worry about other people so we can ignore our own problems, I guess. That spectrum is just alone versus with other people.
Yeah, I agree with that in person being the main thing like being very important, you know, like human connection through just face-to-face interaction is very important. And I think that's something in many well-through projects that is not necessarily being
put in the forefront, right? And I think that there needs to be a bridge in between the virtual communities and the real-life communities. Just like Kat Katie was talking about, like, with firms with benefits and just in general, like, the real collaboration, like, the true collaboration comes from getting to know a person, like, sending
and then like being next to them, talking to them, having a face-to-face conversation. So, yeah, community-wise, I think that that's why community is so beautiful in general, right? Like, whatever you're doing, that's like your super passionate about, like you go into these spaces that are
these little hubs are nuclear nodes, for example. I love that word. But basically it's like just you know whenever you go into that kind of world you get to know the people that are in your same space like thinking the same way then you are like create these groups of friends and
communities that are very important for whenever you don't know something or whenever you want some type of support, it's valuable, it's extremely valuable to have that and it's extremely valuable to have someone around you in your same space that you can walk to and just be like, "Hey, you want to grab a
coffee, let's talk about this or whatever, you know. And I think it also comes from culture how you know we grew up or something for me. It's also what's just like, you know, saying like my house, you know, would like, would be like full of people, like family and friends, like in music and connect, like, you know,
culture like every you know every once in a while and I think it is important to have spaces where you can be alone and also have that individual like individualistic thing or wherever where like you have your own space also right but at the same time be able to connect you know and and learn from that I think that most of
the communities that I've been part of have just kind of naturally created themselves or I've created them from the interests that I've had right? Definitely and I totally resonate with having a lot of people coming in at home and having almost like a loud family down
dynamic. I have a Filipino Chinese background and we just love karaoke and sometimes we do karaoke even if there is no reason to do it. Oh my god same here my mom loves it like she always takes it out.
Yeah, that's my favorite. When my brother-in-law is married into our family, it was funny and dynamic because my sister and our family were so loud. They would just, like the first few months, they would just sit there and look at our family because they did it that hard to react because their families were polar opposite of ours.
It was really funny. I have brother in law or like not brother in law, but maybe uncles in law I guess. I married into the family and they would just sit in a corner talk about just I know talk about phones and TVs and eat chicken wings while everyone else is screaming at each other.
Well, we are coming to the end of the time and I think this is an amazing place to wrap everything up is that we talk we started from a place where Webthrough really helps us with connecting digitally finding our place online.
finding a way to move forward with the issues, the problems that we want to solve. But in the end, the real way to get things done is to be able to merge the digital with the IRL. And I think with Cabin, like my personal story, that was so important to me.
I love having people like knowing people networking with people digitally, but in the end I just at the end of the day I close my laptop and I go and hang out with my friends my family IRL. And with Cabin it's so important to have these like-minded principles and interests outside
of, you know, sometimes family and friends, they can kind of get what we're doing, but they don't really, they might not have the same principles and interests as we do. But what if we could find a place where these digital friends can actually become IRL friends and how awesome would that be? So for everyone
here. I just want to talk about Cabin's co-living pass. We get people out to our property in Austin. It is, I guess, a little bit iconic in Web 3 at this point. We've had a lot of Web 3 projects go through the property. We started out as a doubt from the very beginning.
And now we're just incubating so many folks from Web 3 who work in maybe Web 2 and want to transition to Web 3. And there's always just amazing projects coming out of that just by people living together and working together. And sometimes there's no intention of actually making something.
But just so happens that apparently if you go with people who have the same interest and values as you great things happen So to end things off I like everyone to just talk about What's it like being in these digital or IRL communities that you have been able to
part of it that you have built. What have you gone out of these, maybe IRL, like a focus on IRL as well, especially now that the pandemic is hopefully pretty much over. And Feb and Wy don't you start us off and talk about summer and the seers as well.
Yeah, I would love to. Yeah, so I just want to say that, you know, with the pandemic happening, I mean, like most people, I was like locked away in my house, like not leaving for like, you know, fear of the virus and et cetera. And so when
the opportunity to go to Montaillet during this summer was presented. I was like, "You know what? I have to go." So I went and I didn't know what to expect and didn't really have much expectations because I just wanted to get out of Seattle. I knew that there's going to be a few
people that worked in crypto, a few people that worked in cabin. I didn't know much about cabin at the time. I was like, you know, I'm just going to go like, I don't know, what's that called headfirst? Yeah. And then
But then I think like first day in I was like, oh this is like such an intentional space with such intentional people and the host was such a kind and giving host like of course Kayla like, if you know her, we'll go beyond and
like above and beyond to help you feel comfortable in a completely foreign state or place and really like being able to be in such a close environment with people who had similar values to you for like
30 days and build such good friendships. Even after the retreat ended, me and Tippi met literally a week ago with Tippi was someone that was in Muntaya and we were just hung up all night.
because that was just like that's how how close our friendship got in just you know a few weeks. So yeah it just gave me that experience of you know this do things even if you're afraid you know do things even if you think
you might not have done this a year ago, two years ago, or whatever the case. So I really loved my experience and I'm you know, fingers crossed can hopefully go to another cabin retreat and see you rock scene again. Well I did probably drop some alpha. Child has stopped me
from dropping alpha if you don't want me. But we, I'll never stop you. No, I'll never stop you. My blessings to go forward. So we will have a little bit of a partnership with Montaillia for November to February. More information later on for that.
And then next year, June and July, we will have another one of those experiences. I will drop our postcard link in, I think it's in the comments or something. I really don't know how to use this, but I'll drop it. Sometime, while everyone's sharing, and then folks can sign up for
the postcard and then you'll get updates on that. Yeah, so that is a bit of the alpha there. Yeah, whoever wants to go next. Okay, I'll go next. So this conversation has sort of brought me back to one thing that the speaker and
his age Charles Adonstein has been really influential in my personal journey. And he talks about how we're in this, we're in this transition period between this old way of being and this new way of being and how there is no map for that path that we're taking. And I think the same goes for
You know, the space that we're in between Web 2 and Web 3, kind of how we're in this space of kind of like seeking community, but you know living these individual lives, you know how we're charting this path between figuring out our place in the online and offline world. And so one thing I'm constantly learning and also reminded by
My own community is that we're all trying to figure out this in-between together. We're all trying to figure out what is this untarted territory in being in-between spaces and places. It makes me feel a little bit less alone, especially when I have these types of conversations with
my friends and realize, oh yeah, they all have these bigger questions around community and are also questioning, having similar questions about Web 3. And so I know for me, in general, I've just learned from my own community that I'm not alone in my own questions. Yeah, definitely.
So and also arena I will be plugging in so I'm gonna add the tweet right now as well to the women cabin type form so folks if you want
Cabin is generally a soft landing plan for folks in Web 3, but we wanted to make it even easier. I think we might have lost rock scene. Rena, do you maybe want to talk about the women at Cabin Group?
Oh, I think Roxanne was just... I can hear Roxanne still. I can do it.
have a smaller, more intimate section or corner of cabin to jump into than they can sign up in that link and Rena, I feel free to talk more about women in cabin as well. Yeah, no, thank you actually. Thank you for putting the type 4 men because I had told myself that I was going to do that on
and completely forgot to mention it. So, yes, please join Women at Cabin. I'm going to be sending out emails to individuals that are interested very soon, but yeah, please feel free to join.
What was the question? Did I just forget my own question?
I might have just oh yes. Are we in the chilling parts? I think my question was around just in
I can repeat the question to a few.
I remember a piece of it, which is what is something that your community or this community has taught you is something like that, which is why I answered in a way of the things that I've learned from my community. But you've worded it differently.
Perfect. I wish I sound smarter in the future than I did in the past or something like that. Okay, do you want to talk for a year? I don't want to.
Yeah, no, I mean, I think that...
despite a lot of the sort of more challenging aspects of this space, ultimately, a lot of the soft landing, I think that maybe Rob's seen you mentioned, like I've found that more often than not, there is a soft landing available in most communities.
that, you know, specifically to communities like FWB, there's always people that are like, how can we go to extra mile and making sure that we have a positive impact and we leave like, it's kind of like the like leave no trace or just like actually pick up something that someone else left behind like, what can we do? I think a tangible example is after we
be raised a bunch of money for a local skate park when they had their fest in this kind of like small Southern California town and they wanted to make sure that they had something to contribute beyond just like, you know, being clean and taking from that community. And so that seems to be a theme in Web 3 and I'm grateful on a
personal level for spaces like this and then also to have, yeah, to have landed in the kind of industry that seems to have a lot of very sort of like kind and positive intentions. Yeah, I think even if we do have our hiccups
along the way, I think the intention and being able to have these conversations hold the space for that is important because at least we can overcome these problems together on issues. Yeah, I honestly don't know if I understood the question correctly because I
It's like what's the value that the community's bring to you and then I also heard something about like in real life and emerging off in real life communities and the web three communities so I'm kind of going to go through that tangent. I think that it's very necessary to create
the bridges between in real life communities and web 3, I think that one of the ways that that can happen or like one of the main ways, like one of the main things that makes you comfortable to actually be like speaking up in that community or like like standing in your leadership in that community is a space that actually you know accepts you and that where you
where you feel like you can be yourself fully, right? And I think that that comes from in-person interactions where you can like see, you know, the similarities that you can have from these spaces and stuff. So I think that it is necessary to do like first, you know,
person meetings, events, these things. And then from there, kind of like bring those subgroups or nucleus into the web three space so that can be the seed starts in the
real life and then the nurturing of it or the harvester, like the watering the seed comes in through the virtual space. I do think that in general whenever you're working on whatever it is that you're going to
find the people that are resident to you like in either virtual spaces or physical spaces and I'm grateful for Rina and just like the way that we kind of connected through this beautiful like group that we have about indigenous you know practices which is just so like nurturing anytime
we speak and for reconnecting to you guys, I think it's really cool what you're doing with Cabin and at some point I would love to join, if you know, but yeah, I think that definitely that makes up both of them face-to-face interactions are very, very important.
Thank you, Andrea, and thank to End Off. We have about six minutes. We -- I can just say that we're showing our projects, but this is more intentional as in we have these digital projects that make IRL impacts. So I guess everyone gets a minute or so to just talk about these amazing
digital projects that are making an impact in the real world. So feel free to go for it, do the show, but we love the show. I will go first and I have two quick because I have to unfortunately jump off a little early
But I'm primarily working or spending most of my time on a company called Seam. As I mentioned before, it's a creative tool and we are working on how to make social media better. It's like large vision perspective and then what that looks like as a sort of
First first tool is basically consolidating different sources. So being able to have that central source of truth, like I talked about before, and that is really, it's kind of an open build process. So we love to hear from communities and from individuals back
how we can interface with and support getting the mess out of Discord or Telegram and bringing it into a sort of more simple social space. So if anybody's interested in that stuff, please reach out and thank you so much for having us on here. This is such a lovely chat. You're very welcome and thank you for hanging out with us Katie.
I can go quickly next. So yes, I'm part of CFI. We are a women and non-binary crypto educational initiative where we try our best to onboard more
people into the space that might not otherwise have gotten to if they weren't aware of the space. So our core values are education, experimentation, and community. We are on our seventh cohort right now. We have approximately
600 individuals in this cohort right now are biggest yet. We're so lucky to have so many people, you know, learn with us. The season, our wait list is now here. So if you go to either our website or just our Twitter, she fi, like two underscores.
Are we listening there? And yeah, so if you want to have an intentional community where you learn all things, you know, crypto, web3, and have a really safe place to ask questions, then we'll be here for you. Thank you.
Thank you. Okay, I can go next. So basically what Nolo is looking to do is to amplify indigenous voices and to have a structure that allows communities to sell fund projects for their economic reinsertion from their own roots using the preservation of knowledge as an asset for the people that actually carry it.
The way that it's being done is through like different kind of stages and each stage has a mix of in real life experiences with experiences in Web 3 that could expand it more. And the project is the first part of the project is going to be with the Kiko
community in the Kero station, which is in the mountains of Peru. It's eight hours away from Kusko, 5,500 meters high, 16,400 feet high, and the three ways that we're looking into doing it is like initially kind of an NFT for art as cultural preservation, an NFT
to go into the Dow that is the Ghetto community Dow and then the way of like really preserving the indigenous knowledge there through a database that's encrypted by Brock blockchain so that way that the contributions and the royalties of these things can go back to a community
where it's always kind of been helped. The project currently doesn't have a web page or a page, but we're working on that and it's going to probably be by the end of this month or the beginning of next month that you're going to start seeing more things of, no, specifically in Twitter and in these different platforms.
Awesome. All right, I think that's it for today. Thank you everyone for hanging out. Oh sorry, Reenat, did I miss you? No, I have talked about my projects in the beginning, so I think I'm good. Okay. Yeah.
Feel free to do like 30 seconds. I think we might have some people who jumped in towards the end. Awesome. Yeah, I'll do a brief. Yeah, so I'm working on, so I mentioned Women at Cabin group, which is for non-binary and female identifying individuals.
will be running by weekly circles and I also run a company called She Health. We are democratizing access to mental and sexual health services for teens and young adults. So a big vision of ours is to create spaces for young people to find belonging, community, but then also to
to have access to health services. And yeah, I think that's about it. Yeah, well, thank you so much. Everyone, this was an amazing conversation. This was my first time hosting a tourist base for Cabin as thank you everyone for being gracious and me for getting my questions.
All of the links I think should be in a thread with the treat that announced this Twitter space. And I just shared a link to the co-living application form for cabin. So usually we don't really do discounts for this one, but if you're a part of Tuesday's
specific communities, so she/fi, or if you hold a surge passport, then we actually do $200 off the first month. So you can go to those communities, they have their own processes, they have their own links, so feel free to go to your communities, ask them about the link to cabin. For everyone else, there is the usual link to the application form
for co-living. We currently have openings for our Austin property for November and December. Yeah, but we already have a few people there. They've been building shedrooms. Charlie is here. He is our lead builder. They've been just doing an amazing job there. So if you want to join, if you want to have any questions, feel free to hit
up here at Cabin. Sign up for a newsletter or feel free to reply to that. I'm the one manning the newsletter so I can also respond to that. And with that we are going to end this Twitter space. Thank you so much everyone for tuning in. Thank you to our panelists and we'll catch you soon. Bye.
