While I have previously indicated an unwillingness to explore the actual concept of leadership in my writing, as always conversations with smarter friends have made me start thinking -- and so here we are. Leadership is a tricky subject to nail down. I’m not going to rely on some dictionary definitions or even strong historical examples (of which there are many). Going down a road of strict definition often ends up with people defending genocidal dictators in an effort to be purely rhetorical...

Just as a diversion, I wanted to apply the teachings of Miyamoto Musashi to our space and ecosystem. There is much to be said of the endless repetition of inspirational or pseudo-philosophical quotes (of this, I must bow to Zhu Su, who remains the undisputed master of this art form). However, without delving into the toxic realms of the grindset and the sigma mentality (complete with images of Peaky Blinders and Wolf of Wall Street), I think there is a great value in reading the classic texts...
Zaibatsu-DAO: A theoretical framework for a decentralized conglomerate leveraging multiple skillsets…
After writing my previous article I ended up talking a lot with giga-brained friend 0xcarnation. Carn asked, as always, an incredibly prescient question that cut to the heart of my thought process: “So what do you want to do?” Meaning, ok you’re thinking about DAOs and governance, you’ve created a model that is too centralized for many use-cases, and each concept we threw around didn’t fit your desires. So what did I want? What I want, personally, is to be able to leverage my own abilities to...

What seems like years ago (and is, in CT time) I wrote the first set of ideas around a framework for a multi-pronged, cross-industry collective. And while my skepticism of the term and concept of a DAO (which is seldom decentralized, autonomous, or organized) has grown, my affection for the term as a type of suffix has only grown. Similarly, so has my interest in an interdisciplinary organization that can simultaneously or concurrently tackle projects and problems in ways that other organizations could not. Part of this is by incorporating services or skillsets that typically are hard-pressed to be viable on their own -- niche services like emergency comms, internal HR, one-off design, etc -- enabling the collectivization of individuals that specialize in these fields to work as part of a profitable whole.
At its most fundamental level, the Zaibatsu-DAO is a freelancer guild that brings together talented individuals behind a united front to better leverage outreach, business development, and professional matchmaking. We source jobs, bid on projects, seek out grants, and enable skilled guild members to have a smooth, consistent pipeline of work, without the hurdles of negotiation, invoicing, and staffing. We also drive a focus on adding on services, offering clients the ability to tackle needs simultaneously -- why just hire a dev when you can also get a branding refresh or technical writing or sound mixing all at the same shop?
Starting today I am happy to announce that Zaibatsu-DAO is open for business --albeit on a small scale and with a smaller-still stable of Guild Members. I am honored to be joined in this by the great social matchmaker of our time, 0xCarnation, as we begin actively sourcing and bidding on projects. Like true anime fixers, no job is too big or too small, as we try and create a Guild capable of tackling any project.
If you are an individual with skills -- and each skill is valuable -- please reach out to us on Twitter or at zaibatsudao@proton.me. We would love to help you showcase your talents and join in our collective.
