This episode features snippets of inspiration as we explore what inspired today's builders and leaders of web3 and web3 communities during their crypto journey and what motivates these pioneers to build innovative products and services in the rapidly evolving world of decentralized technology.
Dan Romero reflects on his journey and how the internet provided an ungated space to create and publish content while growing an audience for minimal money or effort.
Lukas shares how the vibrant and dynamic community on Crypto Twitter, where ideas are shared and debated in real time, inspired how this leads to new collaborations and innovations.
Mike McGuiness, Chris Castig, and David Phelps are all inspired by the social visionary Balaji Srinivasan's transparent work on the Network State. Along with his revolutionary ideas of the impact crypto will have in the future of society.
Vikram shares his vision of not living with regrets and how hearing years previously from Jeff Bezos has motivated him in everything that he has done.
Zach Anderson shared being inspired by thinkers that work to open up different paradigms and systems.
Alex Salnikov shares the powerful impact Vitalik Buterin had on his journey and how reading Ethereum Whitepaper and the revolutionary foundation it set for decentralized finance and web3 technology.
Perchy shares how friends have directly influenced his journey, leading him to where he is today.
David Phelps also shares how creating community relationships impacted his journey, noting how deep dives into economics, economic theory, and macroeconomics not only inspired a realization of the decline of US Power and the decline in the US dollar but built the foundation for friendship. Friendships flourished over debates on the next global order, paving the path down the rabbit hole. This particular trip down the rabbit hole not only provoked higher level questions like, What if the next global empire isn't a psychical nation-state? What if the internet is the next Global state? But it also formed a lifelong friendship in the process.
Alex Poon reflects on his experience with the alliance accelerator and the generosity and understanding within his network.
Erin McMullen reflects on women that she has met while creating a welcoming space for female and those that identify as non-binary.
Philip Silva notes Bitcoin and our very own Humpty Calderon as inspiration throughout his journey.

Today we are chatting with Perchy, Founder and creator of Chippi NFTs.
We look at the project's genesis in Season 0 of Bankless DAO. And learn that this initiative was Perchy's way of documenting his journey at Bankless DAO.
This is a crucial takeaway because it shows how any contribution to a DAO, whether small or personal, can take a life of its own and build a strong community around it.
Chippis are non-generative NFTs limited to 500 pieces tied together by an adorable and familiar character. Every Chippi is hand drawn by Perchy.
In our conversation, we also touch on building a brand, signaling your commitment to a community, and creating a layered metaverse with your NFTs.
To learn more about Perchy and Chippi, you can follow them on Twitter @TheFutureisDAO1 and @chippiNFT, respectively.

Today we are chatting with Alex Salnikov, Co-founder of Rarible.We learn about the early days of Rarible, starting with the launch of their easy-to-use NFT minting platform that allowed anyone to create them. Alex says, at that time, you either had to be a developer or be vetted by the marketplace to mint NFTs.Throughout my conversation with Alex, I realize this consideration for accessibility drives a lot of their innovations.This has inspired it to become a first-of-its-kind aggregated marketplace for Ethereum NFTs and, more recently, to launch community marketplaces. This last one seems to have resonated with many popular collections and creators who launched marketplaces powered by Rarible.As always, there are lots to unpack here, so let’s get started.

I am your host, Humpty Calderon.Today we are chatting with Khori Whittaker, Executive Director of ENS.We open with an introduction to Khori, including his work in the education space. We discuss the importance of communicating the ideas and values of web3 and DAOs, to people outside our circle of crypto enthusiasts and advocates. Khori says, "we need to surface use cases that the world needs." In addition, he adds, "we need to create onramps with practical use cases," And quotes ENS as one of these. ENS as our digital identity makes interacting with crypto much more interesting, easier and fun. Lastly, we close on a discussion about the proposal that the ENS DAO community voted on to elect fund managers to manage the ENS Endowment.
To learn more about Khori and ENS, you can follow them on Twitter at @KhoriWhittaker and @ensdomains, respectively.Please don't forget to like and subscribe wherever you listen to this podcast.

Hello and welcome to Crypto Sapiens
Today we are chatting with Henry Lee, Co-founder of Noox, a platform where you collect achievement badges as soulbound NFTs and build your reputation.
We briefly explore his crypto journey, starting with a Layer 1 blockchain that he helped launch focusing on interoperability, where he also worked on Decentralized Identity and Verifiable Credentials.
In 2021 Noox was born. Henry recalls the landscape was very much focused on NFTs then, with a few projects using transaction history to reward users, gate communities, and provide airdrops.
The vision of NOOX was to add more context to understand users in a more high-dimensional manner and evolve user tiering. They set out to find a way to contextualize user interactions and transaction data.
While the MVP looked very different than today's product, the vision was always the same: to enable data as a composable piece of the web3 ecosystem.
If you want to learn more about Henry, you can follow him on Twitter @ hihenrylee and Noox @ noox_world

Welcome to Crypto Sapiens Network Sponsored by Otterspace.Today we are talking with Tony Herrera, Founder of PaisanoDAO and member of Neon DAO, ReadyPlayerDAO, and WAGMI United.Tony talks about his background as an immigrant activist and how working in that field led him to discover Bitcoin and, eventually, Ethereum.He also shares his early interest in DAOs as an ICO investor in Aragon. Anyone who knows Tony knows that he has long been onboarding new people to web3 and that ENS domains have long played a big part in it. He often gives ENS domains as a way to make crypto more fun and accessible.Furthermore, he shares other tools he uses for onboarding: Metamask and Ethereum. While these probably are not what most people would think of first, he sees the importance of helping people understand how these work to have a good foundation from which to continue learning.Tony founded PaisanoDAO to engage underrepresented communities, particularly women and people of color. He classified it as an impact DAO.PaisanoDAO often hosts workshops and other educational events, including two regular series on Twitter Spaces: NFTs in Español and Frecuensia Paisana. It was important to Tony that the DAO would not grow dependent on him, so he stepped away early. Now the DAO is in the hands of core contributors who continue to nurture the values and mission developed with Tony.He says We must build DAOs whose message and mission resonate with their community.There is a lot to unpack in this episode. So let's get started.
That's a wrap. I hope you enjoyed this conversation with Tony. If you'd like to connect with Tony, you can find him on Twitter @tonyherrera And to learn more about PaisanoDAO, go to paisanodao.xyz and on Twitter at @ paisanodaoAs a final note, this episode is the final recording from our LIVE events hosted on Twitter Spaces. Future episodes will include videos and be released on YouTube and other social channels. I hope you will continue to listen and enjoy these thoughtful discussions.
We’re thrilled to be sponsored by Otterspace who are busy making Web3 less financialized.
Their protocol and app let communities build and issue badges to members to represent things like levels, roles, achievements, membership, and skills.
We’re excited about badges because they are earned, not bought. They are non-tradable coordination primitive for communities.
You can use badges for governance in Snapshot, token gating with Guild, and you can build your own custom extensions with their composable tools.
If you’ve been thinking about how to run non-financial governance, represent roles and permissions on-chain, or recognize contributions via social recognition, check out Otterspace at otterspace_xyz on Twitter or at otterspace.xyz.====

Hello, and welcome back to Crypto Sapiens. Today we are talking with Crypto Bushi, Founder of DAOpunks and now also Memelord at Bankless HQ.
We start our discussion with Crypto Bushi describing how he became green pilled and joined Bankless DAO after receiving an airdrop as an early supporter of Bankless HQ. He also recalls the role Bankless DAO community members had in inspiring DAO Punks.
We talk about the manifesto which seeks to inspire a movement of CorpRats to become DAO Punks. To this effect, DAO Punks has created a grants program intended to provide individuals with the initial resources needed to take the leap and go full-time DAO.
In our conversation, we also touch on activating new joiners to a DAO, empowering new ideas, and making space for emergent leadership.
I hope you enjoyed this conversation with Crypto Bushi and Livefast. It’s great to see the organic growth of communities, and the value they unlock by empowering their members. I hope to see the flipping of more corpRATS into DAOpunks in the future.
If you’d like to connect with Crypto Bushi, you can find him on Twitter @ thecryptobushi
And to learn more about DAOPunks, go to daopunks.io and on Twitter at @ DAOpunksNFT

Welcome back to Crypto Sapiens. Today we are talking to Tesa, self-described Cat Herder, at Fight Club. We start the conversation with her describing her journey to becoming a Bankless DAO member in its early days, and the role the DAO played in launching Fight Club.
This conversation was super enlightening, especially in learning about the similarities and differences between traditional venture funds and venture DAOs; from membership, deal flows, to governance.
We also discuss Fight Club’s upcoming Black Glove public mint, how you can earn your own Glove, and the launch of their 2nd educational cohort.
I really enjoyed my chat with Tesa. I especially enjoyed learning about the collaboration happening in the venture DAO ecosystem.

Today we are talking with Cryptowitch, Founder of 0xx, a community and education hub that empowers all women with the tools they need to confidently navigate the web3 ecosystem.We kick off our discussion by exploring Cryptowitch’s crypto journey, which started in 2017 with Bitcoin and Ethereum. She shares how she went from learning about crypto to building workshops for friends and launching 0xx. 0xx has now hosted 4 cohorts across 14 countries.
