We continue our exploration of collective intelligence and tools for wisdom in a conversation with Charles Broskoski, one of the many co-founders of Are.na.
Are.na is a platform for connecting ideas and building knowledge. It's a thinking-space for "connected knowledge collectors" and self-directed learners. Are.na aims to help users build up the "muscle" of recognition for what Charles calls "nodal points": this information, this image, this idea, this impulse is important to me!
Join SpaceXponential & Charles in a dynamic conversation that delves into Are.na's genesis; how Are.na and its philosophy distinguish themselves from the general "tools for thought" space; the importance of striking the fruitful balance between the role of software and the role of the user; the unique elements accounting for the magic of Are.na; and why Charles is feeling optimistic during this time of great challenge. This conversation was a real treat.
To see the Twitter thread referenced, see here.

We continue our exploration of collective intelligence and tools for wisdom in a conversation with Fabian Wittel, co-founder of Napkin.
"Collect ideas. See Connections. Free Your Mind." Napkin is not just a new note-taking app. It aims to be a digital garden of inspiration, a beautiful space in which human beings can unfold their creativity and curiosity.
Join SpaceXponential & Fabian in a delightful conversation that delves into Napkin's genesis; its unique, playful UI and the experiences it cultivates in users; the need for beauty in software design; metaphoric or poetic perception; and AI/Natural Language Processing's role in facilitating human creativity.

Welcome to the FF podcast. Today we're stoked to bring you a Community Hangout with En, the Community Lead of Web3 Baddies.
Web3 Baddies is the hot girl metaverse and is on a mission to make web3 more diverse, inclusive and accessible.
En recently joined Jihad on a Forefront Community Hangout. They jammed about web3’s inherently social nature, which calls upon us to focus more on the ppl than the tech and also to be intentional about creating diverse, inclusive spaces.
And you won’t want to miss En’s thoughts near the end of this podcast, when they press for a new paradigm for the lifecycle of businesses and orgs, one that pivots away from scarcity and fear to embrace a dynamic of entities emerging and then dying, to make room for new initiatives that are more needed.

Today we're stoked to bring you a Community Hangout with Zakku, co-founder of Coordinape.
Prior to entering the Web 3 space, Zakku was passionate about collaborating for impact & worked in operations sustainability for businesses such as Dell, Apple and Intel.
Zakku went on to found Converge to solve the riddle of forming IRL networks for collaboration.
Today, Zakku is the founder of Coordinape, ubiquitous in the DAO tooling landscape.
Coordinape decentralizes a DAO’s compensation strategy, allowing DAO members themselves to disperse rewards peer-to-peer.
Zakku recently joined Jihad on a Forefront Community Hangout. They dove into the relationship between gratitude and gifting, human coordination and tech, retroactive vs proactive compensation, and the use cases for Coordinape that surprised Zakku.
Enjoy this Community Hangout with Zakku.
