Web3 w/ Me

What happens when the only thing consumers see is a better experience that is personalized? In ep. 54 of @web3w_me - Creating Frictionless Experiences w/ @ryanjjones10 Director of Product Management @Consensys we get answers like👇👇👇 Words like digital wallet and NFTs are replaced “clicking the link” and “rewards.” Advertising doesn’t suck, it’s relevant and there is no need to educate people on how to use “new” web3 tech. Brands are happier. Consumers feel heard. We also discuss: Ryan’s time at Pivotal Labs and the experience of growing a product team from 0 to over 200 in multiple countries. The importance of decentralized identity and the influence of digital wallets on our everyday lives We delve into the potential impact of NFTs when adopted by the masses, including in the realm of consumer interaction. Ryan describes his experience of providing direction and creating order in the dynamic and rapidly-evolving environment of ConsenSys.

Our first guest ever on the show has officially launched his amazing brand studio! Can’t wait to have you back on to talk about it❤️❤️❤️

Pod time!

Building better communities requires focus on the connection layer 🤝 @jeffkauffmanjr founder of @jumperstweeting is doing just that and shares his plans for the future in Ep. 53 of @web3w_me - The Future of Social Connection Jeff has a storied history in the marketing agency world, having worked on many massive brands including Chick-fil-a’s famous cow ads. He has used that experience to build Jump as the premium web3 marketing community for brand marketers, agency professionals, and entrepreneurs who are passionate about the space. We discuss: Web3 and Connections: the core of Web3 is about creating deeper connections between people and decentralizing the internet. The Role of Social Tokens: Social tokens provide a novel way for communities to interact and form connections, offering more significant value representation than traditional likes or follows. NFTs and Social Graphs: NFTs can create unique social graphs, offering valuable insights to brands and product builders, and fostering personalized experiences for users. Future of Tech Interaction: The future of how people interact with technology isn't necessarily a replication of existing platforms (like a Twitter clone) but might be a completely new approach leveraging the benefits of blockchain and Web3 Accelerating the Industry with Jump News: Jeff envisions Jump News as a platform that will push the blockchain and crypto industry forward by attracting thought leaders and contributors who can provide high-level insights. Distinction between AI and Web3: Although often grouped together, AI and Web3 are different. AI can exist without decentralization and user ownership, characteristics that are central to Web3. Creation of Global Brands: The combination of AI and Web3 technologies could lead to the creation of global brands, some of which might surpass current Fortune 500 companies in size and influence. Fast-paced Evolution of Brands: In the future, the scale and influence of brands could grow at an unprecedented rate, with top brands being created in a short period, thanks to the advancements in Web3 and AI. Role of Community in Web3: The future of Web3 lies in the power of the community, with user-centric experiences becoming more important than ever. Web3 and Real-World Change: The advancement of Web 3 is not just a digital phenomenon, but it also has the potential to create real-world changes, impacting products, services, and global brands.

What happens to the 🌍 when you are able to facilitate connection around creativity without regard for geographic boundaries? @pocobelli comes on @web3w_me this week for Ep. 52: Leading the Digital Renaissance Adrian has an amazing show on YouTube called Artist Journal where he dives deep into digital art and artists (@pocobelli" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@pocobelli ). He also hosts his show sometimes as spaces for @RugRadio. His journey as an artist began on an iPhone 6s on apps he still uses today. Adrian is just the type of person we need in Web3 for it to truly thrive. We discuss: The differences between art culture in North America and Berlin. The power of digital tools in expanding artistic capabilities, allowing creators to blend traditional art elements with digital features, resulting in a unique artistic expression. The challenges of digital art, especially its ephemeral nature and vulnerability to replication. The transformative power of blockchain and NFTs in democratizing art distribution, breaking down barriers for artists and providing new platforms for showcasing their work. Inspiration, according to Adrian, can come from any corner of life, reinforcing the idea that creativity is not a confined concept but a holistic experience that integrates various life aspects. The emergence of Web3 resulting in a more accessible and democratic art scene, changing the way we experience and interact with art. Adrian's optimistic outlook for the future of digital art underscores his belief in the long-term potential of the digital economy, emphasizing its role in enhancing art's visibility and sustainability.

Head the pleasure of sitting on the other side of the mic for this conversation with @Zach_French_, where I (over)share my thoughts on crypto, trust and the balance between innovation and regulation. Check out @web3w_me 👇 podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the…

🤝What can you create when trust Is automatic? Check out episode 50 of @web3w_me: The Future of Trust with @JacobRobinsonJD Jacob is the host of the Law of Code Podcast (lawofcode.io) where he talks to the top legal leaders in web3. Additionally, Jacob is an associate attorney at McCarthy Tétrault one of the most prominent law firms in Canada where he helps clients like crypto exchanges navigate the complex regulatory landscape. In these two roles, Jacob hopes to be a leader in stewarding policy forward and helping to legitimize the industry by enabling more effective formations of capital and business structures. If you want an update on how to build a sustainable business in Web3, this is a great episode. Key takeaways: Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) have the potential to change the way businesses are governed and organized, leading to more efficient formations of capital. Blockchain and cryptocurrency regulations can help legitimize the industry and provide a more secure environment for businesses and users. Web3 can improve trust, transparency, and efficiency in systems of record and public services, such as property transactions and divorce filings. Governments and regulators must balance fostering innovation and protecting consumers in the rapidly evolving Web3 landscape. The adoption of Web3 could lead to a more equitable and customer-centric internet, in which users have more control over their data and experience. How open conversations and collaborations help overcome regulatory challenges and promote the widespread adoption

This is such an awesome story. Sometimes you just need to start ->

💥 Cooperative Economies are the biggest unlock of Web3 💥 My guest today is @da0uch Simon Yi, on Ep. 49 of @web3w_me. He is cofounder of @myosin_xyz, a global network of marketers building marketing tools that accelerate the direct to community movement. Simon is what we like to call an OG. He started as Head of Growth at @ConsenSysMesh in 2020 where helped grow staple brands like @chainlink and @Filecoin. He is the most experienced growth marketer we’ve had on the show. While numbers are a massive part of Simon’s expertise, he doesn’t hesitate to do some deeper philosophical thinking about the unique value offered by blockchain. From the very start of the episode, we are talking numbers. Dunbar’s number. What is a healthy percentage of retention and activity in Discord. Myosin aims to create a reputation system for Web3, offering a new model for creators, brands, and communities to engage with their audiences and stakeholders. Reputation scores in Myosin are designed to be a combination of on-chain and off-chain factors, rewarding positive behavior and encouraging collaboration within communities. Tokenized online communities, such as @FWBtweets (“FWB”) and DAOs, demonstrate the potential of Web3 to change the way people interact, collaborate, and generate value together. The adoption and growth of Web3 technology will depend on its ability to address real-world problems, such as copyright and attribution for artists and creators. FWB's partnership with a liquor brand showcases how blockchain and smart contracts can automate revenue sharing, providing a new way for brands to partner to provide unique experiences for communities and automate the terms. Localized Web3 communities, similar to Facebook groups or neighborhood-based groups, present a significant opportunity for innovation and growth in the space. Simon envisions Web3 succeeding through the formation of "network states," which are interest-based communities that transcend geographic borders. In the next six to twelve months, Myosin aims to mint its first on-chain reputation score, potentially unlocking a new phase of growth for the platform. Links below
