Reimagining DAO Governance | David Phelps, Cowlaborator at Cowfund, Core at JokeDAO, EcoDAO

Today we are talking with David Phelps, co-creator of JokeDAO, EcoDAO, and Cowfund. He's also a writer and steward at Gitcoin. David has often been interviewed about jokeDAO, so we skip much of that discussion and instead cover a wide range of topics, including DAO culture, 100xing Twitter, web3 memes, and collaborative creation. On that last one, David later tweeted that one mistake of 2021 was assuming that co-purchasing creates communities; no relationship works like that. Instead, you play board games, sing karaoke together, share life stories, cry, laugh, and say you love each other. And that's what DAOs need. There is so much to unpack in this conversation, so let's get started. If you want to learn more about David and the projects he is building, you can follow him on Twitter @ divine_economy where you can also find the link to his blog.

DAOs For Diversity | Tony Herrera - Paisano DAO

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.

Conquering the three C’s (Context, Coordination, Collaboration) | Nelson Jordan, co founder - Avenue

Hello, and welcome back to Crypto Sapiens Podcast Sponsored by Otterspace.Today we are talking with Nelson, Co-founder of Avenue. We start by discussing the tools that DAOs use, specifically Discord, and some of the challenges presented by them. Nelson says tools force behaviors on us. So, if we use the wrong tools, we will inevitably also use the wrong behaviors. He continues that their tools are currently informing DAO behavior.We dig deeper into contributor behavior and find that they are not discovering what they can do but are limited by predefined roles, work, and channels. Nelson adds we should instead build the right tools for people to suggest their work.We continue by exploring the three Cs that Nelson says are important in DAOs: context, coordination, and collaboration.And the role each plays in creating empowered contributors

Welcome to episode 3 of our 4-part mini-series, Web3 ID  on Crypto Sapiens Podcast Network Sponsored by Otterspace.Overview of Web3 ID
Web3 Identity is a new Crypto Sapiens series that features discussions with key builders from across the web3 landscape including Gitcoin, BrightID, DAOHaus, Orange Protocol and more to demystify the emerging topic of self-sovereign identity and reputation.

This week's guests are Bryan, co-founder Sobol;  Aaron, co-founder at Govrn HQ; Dr. Kelly Page; M Murthy at Show Karma; David & Erick, Marketing Lead & Business development Lead, respectively at Orange Protocol.They're going to share their thoughts on what it means to join a DAO today, what role reputation has in that process now, how reputation systems can make DAOs more efficient, and how they think DAOs will evolve in the future.
We also delve deep into these questions:How can reputation systems make DAOs more efficient?What "reputation markers" exist today in DAOs?How do today's DAO reputation practices fall short of this vision? What challenges or shortcomings exist when attempting to use them as they are today?When building their reputation models, will DAOs consider any Web2 factors or data points?How can reputation evolve in new ways with web3 technologies?What's the importance of making reputations portable from one DAO to the next?Connect with our speakers https://twitter.com/mvmurthyhttps://twitter.com/showkarma_xyzhttps://twitter.com/BryanPeteshttps://twitter.com/TeamSobolhttps://twitter.com/drkellypage

On-Chain Reputation | Orange Protocol - Erick Pinos, Business Development Lead

Today we are talking to Erick Pinos, Business Development Lead at Orange Protocol. Erick describes the start of his crypto journey at MIT, where he joined the MIT Bitcoin Club, eventually leading him to the Blockchain Education Network, where he serves as President. He also points to the seed for identity and on-chain credentials being planted there, having his diploma issued on the Bitcoin network. Erick joined Ontology soon after graduating college, where he cut his teeth in decentralized identity and data, helping to expand their ecosystem. About Orange Protocol, he says, DAOs are interested in Sybil resistance, proving that someone is unique and an active contributor; Orange is nurturing these use cases and providing ways for web3 projects to use reputation-weighted voting and creating value-aligned incentives through a variety of campaigns that measure social contributions, public goods funding, governance activity. Orange enables web3 contributors to build their on-chain history. He points to a recent campaign that Orange hosted with talentDAO where reputation NFTs were provisioned to contributors who had participated across a variety of web3 activities, including Snapshot, POAP, Gitcoin Grants, Panvala Stamps, Twitter, and Discord too.Lots to unpack here, so without further ado, let's get startedThat's a wrap. I hope you enjoyed this conversation with Erick.

Special Episode: LIVE at MCON2

Welcome back to another special episode of Crypto Sapiens. Today we are featuring conversations captured LIVE from MCON2. This was an emotional experience for me as MCON1 was my first ETH event; it was also the public debut of Crypto Sapiens. Previous to that, we had published just 2 episodes, and there I was now hosting LIVE interviews!?! Thankfully I was embraced as a longtime contributor and friend.
MCON is clearly an important event for the web3 community. MCON2 brought together many builders and enthusiasts to experience “valuable conversations, learnings and experimental growth all about DAOs.”
In this episode, we feature a few of those participants to learn from their stories. I hope that you find the conversations fun and engaging and get a sense of the energy from the event.
 
Our speakers include: 
Nathan from Snapshot, Stacy, Mandy, and Kyle with gmBus, 0xJustice from Bankless DAO, Grendel with Polygon DAO, Reese from Coordinape, Diana from Rehash DAO, Sasquatch with RaidBrood, Jen with Crypto Stitch, Peth from Metagame and Andros from Wonderverse. 
And an extraordinary conversation with Yalor about the mission of MCON and the impact it has on web3.
 
I enjoyed every minute of this event, and I truly hope you got a sense of the energy from these conversations. I would highly recommend marking your calendar for MCON3 next year. Because I believe the spectacle will be even more incredible than ever.

How to turn a traditional business into a DAO | Samantha Marin, Communications & Growth - Aragon DAO

Guest Intro 0. 00 - 2.37 
Transition to Bankless DAO 2.37 - 6.30 
Writing and its contribution to DAOs and web3 6.30 - 15.00 
Writing and exploration of Aragon 15.00 - 20.03 
Expectation, Commitment and the Freedom in BanklessDAO 20.03 - 26.24 
Gaining Equity in DAOs 26.24 28.20 
Recognition of Plans 28.20 - 29.19 
Reasons why Aragon becomes a DAO 29.19 - 37.09
 
 
Welcome back to Crypto Sapiens. Today we are talking with Samantha Marin, author of the Quorum Newsletter and Core contributor in writing and comms at Aragon.
Samantha recounts her discovery of DAOs as an early subscriber to Bankless and becoming an early contributor to Bankless DAO. 
She describes her experience working in a traditional startup wanting equity in the project she was helping to build and how being remunerated for her work at BanklessDAO in $BANK, their governance token, was a monumental step in the direction of what she had been seeking. Of course, there are challenges with bounty pay too. 
She recalls times when she attended meetings and participated in retrospectives that added value to the DAO but didn't see any compensation for it. She consistently produced articles and other tangible work to earn a sustainable income.
 
We compare the flexibility of bounty pay vs the stability of salary payment. 
We also talk about the emergent structure in DAOs vs centralized organizations seeking to decentralize and the challenges in both.
 
I hope you enjoy this conversation with Samantha. She is an incredibly gifted writer tackling many crucial topics both through her blog and at Aragon. Many of the topics we discussed have inspired me to be more thoughtful about how we structure decentralized organizations and build incentive mechanisms.
 
If you'd like to connect with Samantha, you can find her on Twitter @ samanthajmarin and her blog at quorumnewsletter.xyz
