This month, we’re bringing together a vibrant mix of over 10 guests for an intimate and honest conversation on the current market dynamics and how we’re all staying sane and well. As we navigate the volatility of crypto and our own career paths, we find strength and inspiration in community.

Reflecting on last month’s session, Adrienne spoke about her unexpected career pivot to launch GM Farcaster Network, a media company built on Farcaster. Madam Cult Leader shared thoughts on the “disenchantment of communities just building for monetary gain,” which inspired the creation of inclusive IRL spaces where “everyone is welcome - no condition as long as you’re there to support one another.”

In the spirit of finding meaning and joy, this edition brings together Marketers and Community Builders to share their perspectives and inspire each other for the next phase of their journeys. Whether you’re seeking your next role, thinking of breaking into crypto, or simply want to stay on top of relevant trends, this is your moment.

Join us in fostering genuine connections and celebrating the diverse, transformative power of our digital world.
