I’ve always said that people only get old when they stop learning; so I’m not getting old, just getting wiser.
Today, I joined the Time Pieces weekly Twitter Space: The Good News show hosted by Rachel W, and my mind was blown by all the valuable insights. I’ve listened to her shows before, and after four years of listening to various Twitter Spaces, hers remains my favorite. Why? Because I always walk away feeling like I’ve just listened to a group of seasoned professionals at an executive level. No disrespect to the many Millennials and Gen Z creators, some of whom I do listen to from time to time and who offer great content but I personally can’t handle high-pitched or overly animated voices for too long, especially when I’m listening through my AirPods. That’s just me.
Today’s session was so good that I had to share it in two different group chats I'm in: 1 with my fashion colleagues, 2 with my childhood friends both full of Gen Xers (with a few late Gen Xers in the fashion group). I also sent the recording to my Millennial daughter, who’s in a creative field but doesn’t usually make time to learn about AI. That’s how impactful the conversation was; it reminded me why I joined Web3 in the first place.
What originally drew me to Web3 was the steep learning curve. Let’s call it what it really is: continuing education. People often refer to YouTube as a kind of university and while the content is definitely there, staying motivated to consistently search for and absorb it can be a challenge. So, as silly as it might sound, if you can find a Twitter Space for just one hour a week that gives you solid takeaways, then by all means, make time for it; I'd recommend The Good News Show. During COVID, I listened to the Bankless guys a lot, they do a great job onboarding people into the world of crypto.
I’ve found tremendous value in listening to strangers talk about emerging tech, and the knowledge I’ve gained feels priceless. With that said, I’m sharing the link to the

Completely agree with, "What originally drew me to Web3 was the steep learning curve. Let’s call it what it really is: continuing education."

What originally attracted me to web3? By @lawrenceroman
Thank you for sharing 🫶🏽
You are most welcome. It's touching story telling!
As a Gen X: What originally attracted me to web3? @rachelw @ohnahji I wrote this /paragraph about today's Time Pieces /goodnews Space. Once I started typing, I couldn't stop and ran out of space for a regular WC post :) It was just too good! I hope people listen to the recording!
Loved what I read! I just followed TimePieces on Twitter and will definitely make sure to attend their next space. You sparked an incredible level of curiosity in me! After reading your reflection, it really made me think about what initially drew me to Web3 and why I’ve stayed, beyond the beautiful people I’ve met along the way. Honestly, it’s that deep curiosity and constant desire to keep learning that brought me here, and I think that’s what’s kept me around. I see that mindset as part of Web3’s ethos ( this idea of continuous learning ) and it’s something that can be applied far beyond just the space itself I really resonate with your perspective!🌹
