116. Digital Identity and Reputation Management in Web 3.0 Mar 08, 2022

Show notes

Imagine if everything you've accomplished, every place you've visited and every experience you had could be validated and at your disposal to use in any way you feel fit.

The shift of Web 3.0 for digital identity and reputation management will empower us as creators to create dynamic and personalized experiences. Just like Amazon has done for us but without our need to control our community's data.

In this episode, we get into web 3.0 and the way digital identity, reputation management and personal branding will exist in the future:

Web 2.0 problems and limitations
Web 3.0 blockchain benefits
Issues created in Web 2.0 that can't be taken back or fixed till we change our behaviors
Intelligent information accessibility
How users regain control over their data removes the single points of failure while providing hard evidence of the data we control.
Reputation management essential for our access to opportunities and social capital and status will be reimiagined
Role of transparency and decentralization
Creator economy benefits for us as creators but also consumers as artificial intelligence will create TikTok like experiences.
Social tokens and POAPs will provide validation and proof disrupting everything from our credit reports to our DAO onboarding to even dare I say it our taxes.

115. How I’m FLIPPING for short term losses and long-term blue chips during this down bear NFT market! Mar 06, 2022

Show notes

“Brian what should we do right now with the NFTs we hold as so many of them are in the tank and way down in this bear market?” I’ve got this question 15 times in the last couple of days and I decided to be hyper transparent on my approach and strategy…

In short:

Low floor NFTs ignore aka HODL for 30 days then revise
High value (potential blue chips) monitor but don’t make any drastic decisions
Mid NFTs that had some big spikes but didn’t hold I’m dumping for liquidity
Take a short loss of 1 ETH to jump into a project I believe has a 10 ETH growth potential over the next 6 months.

Mental Health and ENERGY CHECK

Focus on variables I can control
Review my definition of success and goals with past nft projects
Go back to projects I missed out in or felt were outside my price range in the past and see if they are still as valuable as I thought back then
Look at the bear market as a chance to stack eth even if its at a loss in the short term on the projects you’re selling to jump back into a project you have long-term faith in that has dropped with the market.

With our ADHD coin, this was a GAME-CHANGING decision we made this past fall.

My goal in August was to get ADHD coin to $10 coin by Dec 31st

Coins on Rally.IO are impacted by 3 touchpoints: Price of $ETH, Price of $RLY and Holders/Coins in the circulation of ADHD. So realizing that I can’t control ETH or RLY but I do have more control on getting more people to sign-up and hold $ADHD coin it was silly to have my goal of $10 coin. I switched my goal to having what at the time would have equaled a $10 coin in $RLY to ADHD coin ratio.

So the goal was 20 $RLY to 1 $ADHD coin by December 31st and to my surprise, we hit 28 $RLY to 1 ADHD before the end of the year and I believe that has everything to do with this shift to what I was measuring and believing was a success.

So this is in regards to NFTs right now after listening to over 300 NFTs on Opensea & LooksRare over the last 3 weeks and not selling many of them at all I’ve changed my approach. The plan is to stack some ETH by selling many of my middle ground multiple hold NFTs to jump int o1 or multiple projects that I love and my list of the 5 I have my eyes on right now are:

DeadFellaz
Lazy Lions
Alien Frens
World of Women
MFers

In full transparency, I tested this approach last week and was super excited to be able to sell for some short-term losses to stack enough eth to get another Crypto Chick.

Remember to take a deep breath and remember to manage your mental health and your energy as we ride this bear market looking forward to soon all-time highs again.

NOT financial ADVICE!

114. Quantum Tech @mr0chill : Non Fungible Tech and NFT Innovation Mar 05, 2022

Show notes

When it comes to innovation and tech in the NFT space one could argue we haven't even scratched the surface yet with creative ways we can leverage the blockchain, smart contracts and marketplace metadata... In today's episode, I sit down with Mr0Chill who's the founder of Quantum Tech which is the tech behind Blazed Cats which was my first NFT.

In this episode: Does NFT innovation come from solving problems or designing creative solutions
What is Quantum MetaData?
- We have a ton of proprietary tech and processes that set us apart from anyone even attempting to keep up. Our most impressive suite of features is undoubtedly Quantum Metadata, which gives collectors live information and the ability to customize their collectibles... DIRECTLY ON THE NFT.
Creative areas for innovation Web 3, Art Generation, Web Development, Bots, Art, smart contracts and more.
Why innovation and tech doesn't seem to move the NFT needle today but what does that mean for the future.

As you'll hear in this episode the team at Rug. Tech are what some might call the "anti-establishment technology leaders" but for others they are the true example of what web 3.0 innovation must look like. Check them out here: https://rug.tech/

113. Sandy Carter: Unstoppable Women of Web3 International Womens Day Mar 04, 2022

Show notes

It was my honor and pleasure to have my friend and tech trailblazer Sandy Carter as our guest today.

Sandy and I first connected in March of 2015 at SXSW where we are on a panel together talking about the future of Social Business hosted by Social Media Today. Fast forward almost 7 years to the day and we are both in web 3.0 and excited to collaborate again with Unstoppable women of web 3.0 event happening March 8th. Less than 8% of entrepreneurs in the Web 3.0 space identify as female. And An ArtTactic report recently revealed that women only account for 16% of the NFT market.

#UWoW3 events is focused on driving diversity & education for women and girls in Web3.

Their mission:

Unstoppable Women of Web3 doesn’t just believe in an equal, democratized, and decentralized future, we are actively building it.

Celebrate Web3 on #IWD2022 with our 24hr Twitter Spaces + YouTube LIVE event!

https://unstoppablewow3.com/

In this episode, Sandy and I reflect on our work together 7+ years ago in Web 2.0 and her exciting transition to Unstoppable focusing on Digital Identity in the Web 3.0 world.

Recognized as one of CNN's Top Most Powerful Women in Tech and one of Fortune's Most Powerful Women, Sandy Carter previously served as Vice President at Amazon Web Services, where she oversaw sales management, partnerships, customer service, and overall growth strategies driving billions in annual revenue. Prior to AWS, Sandy was a general manager at IBM, where she connected emerging technology companies and accelerators with enterprises to foster a community of innovation, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain and IoT.

Sandy currently serves as Senior Vice President of Business Development, building a global team to expand Unstoppable Domains' partnerships and integrations to help the company scale to new heights.

Beyond the upcoming Women of Web 3.0 event we also covered:

What is digital identity
Finding new ways to connect and collaborate in Web 3.0
What can we learn from Web 2.0
How can we empower more diversity and inclusion in this Web 3.0 space
Did she really get a Lazy Lion as her signing bonus for Unstoppable
The role unstoppable is going to play in this Web 3.0 evolution.
Importance of being a mentor and finding mentors
Lessons from IBM and AWS days with Girls in Tech and Generational programs.
How men can be allies and advocates and need to be to change this dynamic
Past guest Brooke J Lacy jumped in to also ask a question of Sandy around how she could be a mentor to others in Web 3.0

112. The Role of Community Managers in NFT Projects Mar 03, 2022

Show notes

99.9% of NFT projects talk about the main value of the project is their community and the value their community and community is everything to them.... Yet most don't hire a community manager, many who do have them doing the role of discord moderator and social media manager on top of community manager and lets face it there are still projects believing this role can be done by a 15yr old intern.

I believe the future of business is COMMUNITY!

I also believe the role of a community manager in an NFT Project is 10x harder than the role of being a Community manager outside of web 3.0.

In this episode:

I breakdown the differences between community manager, social media marketing manager and discord moderator.
I share how most have community mixed up with building a network or email newsletter or discord.
I discuss why the price of the MINT in man cases determines how difficult the community culture and values will be to define.
I share why I feel EVERY community manager should be in board meetings and in every possible project decision.
I clarify the importance of community values and vision linked to the founders values and purpose.
Why community leaders must have strong convictions loosly held.
How I can tell a strong community vs an audience being called a community.
What we can do to prevent community from becoming a buzzword.
Where community managers should fit in the NFT project.
The importance of a team that includes strong discord moderators, a social media manager and a separate community manager.

111. MLB Pitcher Tyson Ross: Major League NFTs Mar 02, 2022

Show notes

The power of NFTs to unlock doors, build communities and connect you with people you probably wouldn't be able to offline is truly under highlighted.

Today's guest is the perfect example as thanks to Drew and the MetaAthletes NFT project Tyson was turned on to the podcast and jumped into our discord. He is now a holder of the Founders Mint 365 NFT and I couldn't be thankful enough for his support. In this episode we discussed:

What other athletes are doing around NFTs that excites Tyson
The opportunities Tyson sees within the NFT community
His work offline with inner city youth baseball and how that could be a perfect fit for NFTs

Who is Tyson Ross?

First and foremost he is a Dad of 2 which no doubt has kept him busy even in this MLB lockout and offseason.

Tyson Ross is an American professional baseball pitcher who is a free agent. He has played in Major League Baseball for the Oakland Athletics, San Diego Padres, Rangers, St. Louis Cardinals, and Detroit Tigers. Ross was drafted by the Athletics in the 2nd round of the 2008 MLB Draft.

110. Maybe NFTs Are A Scam Mar 01, 2022

Show notes

Why NFTs are a scame outside of the context of the creator economy... Yes there are haters and those that throw stones at the NFT industry without doing their research but we have to be honest with ourselves and understand where that hate and bad experience is coming from. I know for many of us who love this NFT community we want to do what we can to reach mass adoption and we want to drag our friends and family into the space. But I don't think we can or should do that.

What we can do, is focus on sharing our experiences with the goal of shifting others perspectives of this space. The best way to do that IMHO is to ask the question: Where in the digital world do you feel the concept of "rising tide lifts all ships" exists today?

If you don't believe that does exist we must ask others do you want to be a part of a community that is filled with your people and as that community becomes more successful and the value provide increases so does your value as a supporter? I believe NFTs can feel like a scam without the context of the Creator Economy which if done correctly creates an environment that truly provides...

"The rising tide to life all ships!"

109. What the hell is Web 3.0? Feb 28, 2022

Show notes

For 100+ episodes we've discussed the impact of NFTs and the move towards Web 3.0 but I haven't spent the time breaking down the true value of understanding Web 3.0.

In this episode I breakdown:

Web 1.0 - Pass read-only websites (1989-2005)

Web 2.0 - Content driven read-write (1999-2019) - Social Mobile Cloud

Web 3.0 - Read - write - execute (immersive interactions) ( 2006 - today) - Decentralization, edge computing, AI/Machine learning + Blockchain

What is blockchain?

Decentralization, openness, and incredible user utility are the defining characteristics of web 3.0.

Why Web 3.0

If we’ve been using a platform for free you’ve been paying with your time and data aka attention and information
Getting paid & having control of how and where you share your data
Opensource 3.0
Data sharing via public and private sharing
Ubiquitous empowering IoT and a true 5G experience of connecting anywhere, anytime from any device.

The big shift from Web 2.0 vs Web 3.0:

Web 2.0 you post content with categories and tags for discoverability

Web 3.0 uses semantic web, AI, and machine learning to think independently and connect people with the best experience

Peer to Peer Connectivity: humans to biz, biz to machine, machine to humans, and machine to biz with higher privacy and security

As always: DO YOU OWN DAMN RESEARCH and we hope you enjoy coming on this Mint 365 journey as we buy an NFT every day for 365 days: https://www.nft365podcast.com/mint365

108. The Content EVERY NFT Project Must Be Creating! Feb 27, 2022

Show notes

Dear NFT projects,

Your amusement park-looking NFT roadmaps, your one-word bios of your doxed team, and vague mission statement that includes buzzwords community, metaverse, and “unlike any other project” are no longer enough!

The question NFT projects and NFT collectors need to ask is:

How are NFT projects getting the right people in the wrong rooms or the right people in the right rooms?

I’ll explain more on that in this episode while also breaking down the two types of content every NFT project must be creating that cover both educational and inspirational messaging. How do we avoid the rug pulls, the scams and the project founders that aren’t ready to take on the massive amount of work required for an NFT project to be successful??? We DEMAND MORE!!

This episode includes Proof of Podcast 3 for Feb 2022 for those playing along you can enter that POP phrase at: https://www.nft365podcast.com/february-pop-3/
