This morning, the quiet words of Earl Nightingale echoed through the digital ether — “we become what we think about.” It’s a line that feels ancient and futuristic at the same time, almost as if it was written for builders like us navigating the chaos of creation in a decentralized age. Listening to The Strangest Secret together wasn’t just a moment of reflection; it was an alignment check. A reminder that what we focus on compounds — whether that’s code, community, or conviction.
The ZAO was born from that same seed of focused thought. Every project, every remix, every build — they all began as an idea that refused to die. And today, that current continues. At 5:15 PM EST, we’re live with YoniDubz, an artist who embodies momentum, then at 6:30 PM EST, we dive into Let’s Talk About Web3 with Ohnahji B and our guests from Minted Merch, exploring how creators can turn networks into neighborhoods and brands into living ecosystems.
Momentum isn’t magic. It’s the deliberate choice to show up — again and again — with clarity, alignment, and a little bit of chaos. So if you’re tuning in today, bring your energy, your curiosity, and that part of you that refuses to settle.
Let’s keep becoming what we think about.
