Previously, I have mentioned that after hitting the 26th post, I would want to add another segment or way to monetize this. For a while, I have been trying to think about how I can take this creative process and package it for sale. Hence, I’d like to announce that I will be writing a book. There will be more details to come but I see value in the way entrepreneurs make decisions and the churning of the creative process in one’s head. Breaking that down and extracting value is something I do at work so it’s time to bring it here as well.
Stay tuned!
Loyalty programs in Web 3 are an awesome utility of NFTs. Seeing programs like Starbucks Odyssey create a customer journey of gamified rewards that blend well with the mechanics of NFTs. Over the next few weeks, I plan to dive deeper but for now, I want to start with the below flowchart that helps define how value can be generated through Loyalty once a customer buys in.
From the image above, there are three ways you categorize the activation of a membership pass. Let’s walk through each.
Exclusive, Free - By paying membership fees, customers can expect to receive exclusive items for “free” or rather gifts.
Exclusive, Paid - Even after paying for a membership, customers can still expect to pay for subsequent products but they may get first access or discounts.
Co-creation - Buying into a membership program may grant you access to resources and the ability to create with the brand and contribution to the progression in a crowdfunded manner
These are our high-level categorizations but you can combine 1, 2, or all 3. We will get back to this subject in a deeper dive but feel free to ask any questions in the meantime.
Catching back up with generative art this week. Going forward, we are going to focus this section specifically on generative art unless something else catches our eye. I’m not sure how this was made but it does intrigue me enough to go and find out. Time to head over to OpenProcessing.
I heard of this platform a while ago and paid it no mind but this time around, I came across it as a plugin on Manifold. Looking at it, this is a great resource for adding utility to your NFTs. Check out the detail below.

Navigating Monaco GP is a difficult test of concentration. In 72 hrs., the tight streets of Monte Carlo are transformed into the track of one of the most iconic F1 races. King is here to share how he handles it with grace.
“Slow Around Curves” -King
“Familiarization: Before the race, I spend a significant amount of time studying the circuit layout and understanding the intricacies of each turn. Monaco's street circuit is one of the most challenging in the world, characterized by narrow streets, tight corners, and minimal run-off areas.
Approach: As I approach each turn, I mentally prepare myself, analyzing the entry point, apex, and exit. It's crucial to find the right racing line to maximize speed while maintaining control.
Braking: Braking points are critical in Monaco. Given the tight nature of the circuit, I have to brake hard and precisely at the designated marker, usually just after the 100-meter board. Proper modulation and feel for the brake pedal are essential to avoid locking up or overshooting the corner.
Turning: Once I've scrubbed off enough speed, I smoothly transition into the turning phase. Monaco's turns demand delicate steering inputs due to their tight radius. I use a combination of my racing instincts and the car's grip to navigate each corner.
Apex: The apex is the point where I take the tightest line through the corner, maximizing the car's trajectory and allowing for a quick exit. In Monaco, hitting the apex precisely is crucial since it sets up the following acceleration phase.
Acceleration: As I exit the corner, I aim to apply the throttle progressively, gradually unleashing the immense power of the F1 car. Monaco's low-grip surface and the proximity of the walls require a delicate balance between maximizing acceleration and avoiding wheel spin or oversteer.
Spatial Awareness: Monaco is unforgiving. The tight confines and lack of run-off areas mean that there is little margin for error. Maintaining an acute spatial awareness is vital to avoid brushing against the walls or colliding with other cars.
Mental Focus: Throughout the entire race, my concentration level remains at its peak. The combination of high speeds, narrow track, and constant proximity to barriers demands unwavering focus to make split-second decisions and react to any changes in the environment.
Adaptability: As weather conditions or tire grip levels change, I must adapt my driving style and strategy accordingly. Rain can make Monaco even more treacherous, requiring adjustments in braking points, throttle application, and overall car control.
Experience and Skill: Years of racing experience and honing my driving skills have played a significant role in mastering the twists and turns of Monaco. Every lap around the circuit adds to my understanding of its unique challenges, allowing me to push the limits and extract the maximum performance from both myself and the car.
By skillfully combining all these elements, I navigate the twisty turns of the Monaco Grand Prix, striving for perfection, and aiming to secure victory in one of the most prestigious and demanding races in the world of Formula 1.”
Last week, I featured this song as a part of our Random Acts of Evolution segment specifically for the line - Can’t be yourself seeking validation, gotta learn to let go that’s an infatuation. I wanted to make sure it got its proper placement in this segment as well. I am also including another song from Action Bronson taking it back to “Swerve On ‘Em”. Check them out
Enjoy!
Until next time, keep on seeking balance!
