I was excited to mint one of the TribeX NFT’s on launch. And then the unthinkable happened. 400 ETH stolen from the minting wallet of the founders. I immediately listed my NFT on OpenSea because I just did not have the energy to go through the whole FUD and rug broken record again. Instead of the founders disappearing, giving up, going dark and/or throwing in the towel, these founders stayed and fought. They were not going gently into the night. They would persevere. They would prevail. After a ...

Let me be clear. You WILL regret not listening to this episode with the very famous Daniel Pink. As you may have surmised, we’ll be talking about regret, namely why regret makes us human, why regret makes us better and why regret clarifies what we value.

What I really love about this new world of Web3, creator economy, social tokens, NFT’s and the Metaverse is how it has brought together so many disparate, diverse and different groups of people who are all connected by the same set of beliefs, ideals and vision: we is greater than me. On this episode, I had the pleasure of welcoming Allie Macpherson, better known as Alliestrasza. I’ll meet her at CEX in Phoenix, AZ, May 2-4 … and you can too if you register to attend at cex.events using code JAF...

I did a double take when inviting today’s guest, Luria Petrucci onto the show. It was a case of deju vu all over again as in, “have we not met before?” Actually we’ve never met, but then I realized the "event" I was referring to was Geek Brief TV and the person – or character – was Cali Lewis. Woah, as Keanu would say. Today at 1pm EDT, we'll discuss virtual events and expanding your reach and moving from "fake authenticity" to embracing your YOUniquely you personality.
