Good morning, good morning, good morning. I am Yolanda, the founder and CEO of everything matter versus and it is a pleasure to be with you this morning. We are niche, generalist state. We have everything, fashion and everything, human resources and it's a pleasure to be here. This morning we are on the Project Trophy 1st and we're building a metaphors. We are building our community one person at a time, one project at a time and we're a community for communities. Our project choppy verse.

There's a 10 phase metaverse and we're in phase one of our metaverse. So we have points of interest like Veterans Village, like her legacy, the fashion district as well as choppy versity where all education comes forth. So as it get back to our community, we provide free education Monday through Friday.

Starting at 6:00 AM Eastern Standard Time and we're normally here for about a couple hours, so looking forward to getting into today. Hi, Mr G how are you?

Good morning. Doing great. Thank you.

Excellent, excellent. Glad you're here. So we're going to get started this morning. I really looked at like social media and social data analytics and five ticks tips to connect with web three. But I also looked at like I put on LinkedIn. I said, well, can you sell your data? So this is getting interesting. So First things first, I wanted to talk through social media because it is upon us and I've been doing some studies.

To see if companies have social media pages and they don't have websites or if they do have websites and they don't have a presence or social media. And it's shocking how many professionals still to this day don't have professional social media platforms for their business. So for instance, I was looking for, I had a a meeting with a government consultancy agency.

And the person who owns this business, there's a onboarding process. So when you transition, if you've been into any governmental branch, what I gather from what I've been told is that there is a different type of you're always, you're, you're on a different command chain of command. And so when you become in transition to being an entrepreneur, there's still that transitional period to and you know keeping things private.

So that's a barrier of entry for some folks as their mindset coming into social media and the why. So I was talking with her and I said, OK, well do you know how to set it up? Let's go through and I'm finding myself kind of doing a variety around 5 different topics as a community. We're doing topics around jobs, which is so important. The music, which is definitely important, social media, social media.

Data, analytics, cryptocurrency, really understanding all the pieces to it. And then on Friday we talked to all of the communities for communities and see what they have going on.

So this morning I spent intimate time with Twitch, and I want to thank Twitch for accepting me into the creator camp. So I went through my onboarding for the creator camp for Twitch, and I don't know if people know Twitch is owned by Amazon, which I think is really cool.

Wow. OK, let me go out here and start going through that orientation process. And so I started to, and to understand that I didn't even know how to get started on Twitch. OK, so I now can bridge with others who may not know how to get started and where to get started this social media management.

Today I went through and I looked at several platforms for us, right? And the platforms that I looked at really takes us around to one.

Understanding social media management and how much does social media management cost in 2022?

Yeah, there's an estimated cost. And so understanding the cost and what you're getting for that cost, one, are you doing social media by yourself? And if so, are you getting the necessary performance that you expect? So again, what do you expect when you're looking at social media management and social media performance? What do you expect? So really good thoughts around that whole social media that.

How smart goals around your social media management. So going in there. So let's get started. So First things first is how much does social media management cost you all? So how much does it cost for somebody to manage your social media? Hi Lucas, how you. I'm sorry, I always thought you Lucas. Hi Lucas before I even look at me like hi Lucas, how you doing?

Ohh I'm OK I've uh.

I'd say that shortly after we we last talked, I got rather sick and I'm still recovering, but I'm in relatively good spirits overall, so I'd say that I'm good.

Are you guys sick but looking forward to us to continue to talk today? It's like that whole social media management and stuff, so I'm glad you're here.

You better get the sick out right?

Yeah, that's right. Exactly.

And so I was looking at the social media. So I have franchises, new franchises as clients that come to me and we look at, you know, kind of their presentation. I have individual clients that come to me to consult through social media. And when Facebook did their pivot last year, I paid attention. I'm like, OK, fine. Well, Facebook offered like 100,000 scholarships last year, too, become a part of their digital creator.

Economy. So I got my scholarship last year to go into Facebook and to be educated and to learn the intricacies and to be certified by Facebook to be a content creator and to be able to advise businesses and all these pieces. So I still need to take my test. I went through the courses and I just for me, I I didn't for I don't necessarily know if my target audience is on Facebook.

Now here we are, social media and what our social media, so some different types of social media and then we're going to get into the cost would include Facebook.

Where?

Weather.

Instagram.

Big.

You are probably the top.

If you do y'all use any additional social media platforms besides those top maybe 5 to 10.

OK, cool, cool.

So this morning.

When I was.

I would say I'm interested in using others, but that I don't know.

OK.

OK, alright.

And so this is, that's an interesting point Lucas and the reason why I asked that question is because the cost associated with social media management. So when you decide to go into a channel, really you look at that Channel and you say if that if your client is there, if your client is somewhere else. So how much does social media management cost, so give you an idea.

There's custom pricing, there's professional pricing. But here's a here's the entry point right here. So you have social posts, you have one social media network, and you have one personal social media consultation per month, 10 social posts per month, one social media network, and one personal social media consultation a month.

So I've been giving thoughts on what that should cost.

Smart.

$3000 a month.

$3000 a month to do 10 social media posts.

One social media network and one personal social media consultation per month.

That's two fold. That is what, 2323 or 3232 every week? So you're doing 2 posts a week.

One week you're doing 3 posts a week, another week. So for 3000, on average, that's what Web FX charges for their SEO and lead generation high Web 3 Grandpapa, how are you?

A good thank you.

Just sitting here doing some work updating the.

A directory I've started on the blog, so we've got about 140 in there so far. Hope to have probably a couple 100 more over the next few days.

That's excellent. You got my love. I I dusted off the cobwebs for blogging, right? So I see what you're doing over there and it's amazing. I was talking to Mr G about what you were doing over there yesterday.

Yeah, I started a uh, second blog a couple of months ago. Probably 3 months ago.

Literally called Web 3 grandpapa. I just totally organic. I don't even post on it every day. I just work on the SA back in.

Yeah, that's some of the stuff I'm gonna be working on today. Yeah. That's why I wanted to hop in early and see what I can get, uh, working, get those tweets out if there's those back servers. So yeah, thank you. And yeah, just looking to see, I'm not on any new ones, but yeah, definitely looking to be on them.

Sounds good. I think Mr G might be rugging a little bit, and that's good. Can you hear me, Mr G?

OK, you can hear me now. OK cool, cool, cool. We have 3.

So you said you were doing just completely organic your second blog post?

Yes. And it it's been up about 3 months and I'm averaging about 400 to 500 visits a day at the moment already.

Ohh my goodness, that is amazing. So what what we're talking about this whole social media management and then we start to talk through the AB testing and to like what you're doing is so critical. And this is the power behind being able to leverage social media in order to scale your business. Leveraging an expert like web through Grandpa Paul on keyword optimization and search engine optimization is huge.

So when I look at pricing, right, in benchmarking pricing, we have three Grandpa, Louis, Lucas, hey, Spuds, what's going on? Good morning.

You look at. So let's just give a benchmark right now of $3000 per month for 10 posts, 1 social media network and one personal post. So if you go on to social media platforms, that's 4200 on an average month, and that's 20 social posts. So of course you got two accounts, and then let's just triple it. Let's just say for $4800 a month you're on three social media platforms and $4800 a month you can charge.

For one client.

So the math is how many of those $4800 a month clients do you want to have spuds? Good morning. How are you?

How are you? I'm just, uh, doing my thing at the gym.

Excellent. Well, this morning I'm just talking about the social media management. I'm going to the analytics and tell you all how to gather your data. And the question that I asked Web through Grandpa is and Mr Dude, where can you all get your data? Do you know how to get your data?

Social media platform.

It depends on which particular data you're you're after and what matrix you you your clients really need.

Uh, most of the time.

I found clients.

Are very happy if they understand what the engagement rate is.

Of posts like how many people viewed or how many people interact with the post.

That seems to be one of the major things that clients are interested in.

Excellent, excellent. OK. And for and I'm just that's good information to know because I haven't quite figured out how I'm going to leverage my data yet. And I'm just in the point of I know I own it, I know it's mine and I know that.

I look at it and I say, why did Elon Musk buy Twitter?

Now I don't know.

Try to control.

Data control, huh?

Absolutely. That's why he has Tesla. Tesla is just a data company.

As much as anything else.

Just just say just say if someone if I'll tell you what I'm doing with the with the.

A directory, so. So it's a longer term play. Just say. So I've got a, I've got a directory and I'll have probably a couple of 1000 things on it, over 16 to 20 different categories over the next two or three months.

Now I'm posting most of them up and I have control of them.

Now I'm posting them well, but very simply.

And in the future, as it gets off to traffic, I'll put a claim you're.

On there. So people are going to be able to claim their listing if they want to, but if they want to claim their listing and upgrade it because I'm getting good traffic, they then have to pay to do that.

Wow, that is smart.

That is very smart.

I like that directly. I want to talk to you more about it. I know we're trying to coordinate some time where we're gonna do a phrase and video, but I like that directory and I have. I've already met with many of you, and I'm still getting through my calendar to meet with a couple more use buds. You're kind of like that last piece I need to get in there.

Lucas, you have your hand up.

Data control just grab my attention because.

It's.

I just like not that I think that it's wrong.

But it's like, how is he controlling the data? Like why would he, Elon Musk, by Twitter. It's like, actually Twitter is a fountain of data.

And so it's not just like he's not trying to take the data that existing Twitter was creating.

And then control that and who accesses it. But he's actually trying to control the way like it's like the kitchen. He's trying to redesign the kitchen. Where we make the social media data is is what it seems like to me, which is why the word like the word control, it's like it's more like a.

Streamlining and changing the way that information flows through the whole system is how it seems, and capturing it into more effective structures.

Well, the the more Lucas, the more data points you have, you're dead right. The more data points you have and then you could stretch it over a long period of time, you certainly would be able to have the ability to control.

Information in the direction, I mean, whether it's good, bad or indifferent, I mean that's the reality. Hopefully, hopefully Elon will be a power for the good. But how you, how you promote advertising, how you market the words that people use, the phrases that they use, that's all really, really important data when you want to target it, advertising and doing different sorts of marketing. So I'd imagine that's massive sort of data that he'll be collecting there.

Yeah, I mean it goes to.

You don't have to.

It goes to me that I'm not sure that.

Right. And I I don't have any insights on this, but I'm not sure that Elon Musk is in in bed somehow with who's also putting direction behind the other social media platforms, because it seems to me that.

All of them, like anybody who's running this show on one of the social medias, they all have incentive to optimize it for exactly, exactly that. And the more that the social media platforms can coordinate behind the scenes and and then here's this has been my intuition for some time. And then I see like cross streaming platforms that look way better than ever anything I've seen before now. So I wouldn't be so sure. It's just Twitter, you know?

I think there's a.

Interaction and social networking is only going to get bigger and bigger and as soon as they figure out how to integrate seamless video streaming and being able to integrate advertising and work out how to go, which are legitimate council which aren't legitimate counts.

I actually think.

Some of the other social media platforms are gonna cause themselves large issues by some of the control mechanisms and some of the political leanings they tend to have in a very biased manner. I actually think more and more people are actually going to come over to.

Platforms where people like Elon Musk who don't seem to have a political suasion overly either way, but are more interested in making money and providing a service than.

Pushing any particular political narrative.

Go ahead, Mr G.

Yeah, I was just gonna share, uh, as of current, it doesn't look that way as Apple is considering pulling a lot of its funding, $50 million I think or something like that, that they were looking to spend and they're kind of having just some issues with it right now. So just something to look at.

I mean, that's definitely political.

And if anyone does end up, you know, releasing a phone, Apple wouldn't be happy. But I mean, Apple's been trying to release a car as well. I mean, there's always going to be political rises. I heard one of the top CEOs in Apple talking only a couple of days ago, and they were saying that, you know, they only want to deal with people that have the same political and social engineering ideas that they have and are willing to build a platform and move in the direction that they personally believe i

Biologically correct for society and their opinions. So I'm OK if England can survive and do without them if that is actually the case.

Definitely interesting. I know he's been very vocal out there about, wait a minute, you know, Apple is pulling their marketing from Twitter. Apple is trying to, I guess, I don't know, monopolize, I don't know the words exactly that's being leveraged, but he, Elon, is really putting it out there that Apple is not being a player in there in here right now and they're kind of on an island by themselves.

Will they charge a 30% premium as well? So like Twitter now is about one of the biggest platforms or biggest apps on on Apple and if they go to a like a a script subscription model, they have to pay Apple 30% of everyone that's used the app through their store, 30%. I know if I'm looking at building this game next year unless I put it and use their platform and use some of their things.

On their platform, right? One, they won't host my and ISO app. But two, I have to pay a 30% premium every time someone uses an NFT or a service on my app. 30% like, that's crazy. They're being monopolistic, full stop.

What did I say the other day and yesterday? My tweet.

About monopolies.

You own it, you honest buds. And that's what that was the tweet from Elon, I think a couple days ago it was 30% to keep straight and it was a detour like it when a car taking a detour and you can see Elon clearly saying he's going to take the detour because he's not paying the 30%. I don't know if y'all saw that tweet, but spuds the monopoly and So what I see taking place is.

Social media trying to maintain this relevancy as web three is coming. Web 3 is really about the ecosystems. And I would challenge. I'm think I'm so thankful that Twitter allowed to be the bridge for us to connect. But I think we're immersing. We're evolving into something a little bit different and I think social media is saying hey, you can use these tools, stay with us, stay with us. But pretty soon as blockchain technology continues to thrive, I think a lot of people are going to have their

Gonna be a is it interoperable with each? So this is getting interesting. Go ahead spuds.

Yeah, no, I mean you can just see the writing on the wall like I I've never been a fan of monopolistic mentality when it comes to like big tech or you know major big box brands and stuff which you know are either buying out smaller companies to eliminate the competition that I've always been a big believer in. Competition is a good thing, especially when it's done in a healthy manner. You need competition because when you get one minded ideology in especially into a social presence where.

You're able to dictate narratives and push you know, your agenda and whatnot for your own personal gain. It becomes a very dangerous situation in the sense of censorship, which I think is one of the main reasons why obviously Elon thinks that he can turn Twitter around, because that was one of the main issues with this particular platform is what they were and weren't allowing. And you see that with any like big tech giant as they.

Start to grow.

So I'm actually, you know, I'm not really too concerned with the fact that he's taken over, I think.

Um, he's obviously has a track record for success in his other businesses and I'm sure he's got a good team around him. A lot of people trying to, you know, they they think too like.

Narrow in the sense of, uh, they think that it's all him or whatever. Just like the Presidency or whoever is your elected official. It's not just the one individual, it's the team you know, around them. So I I don't really have any concerns, really.

Actually, one of the things that I like about.

Any sort of leader in their field or or any workplace or any position, is the actual leader willing to say that is on me. I own it. I am accountable for this. And you know for the first time we've heard the leadership of Twitter go, it's on me. The the, the responsibility and accountability is on me. Before Elon took over, it was always, it's the algorithms.

Or is this committee or it's this and they bribe to and they're able to brush off all their decisions by blaming it on some bureaucratic process where already Elon a couple of times or other big companies like himself just go no, it's on me and I made it because of this very reason and a lot of these companies won't answer and they just put these bureaucratic barriers up anyway. So that's actually been a very interesting change and you know and when you spoke about.

Apple earlier, I mean, Apple, I think very shortly could be in far more trouble than it realizes because with all these lockdowns in China at the moment, I mean, Apple does all its manufacturing over there and all the different plants and all its upgrades. And from what I understand, it's already struggling with supplies with its new iPhone staff and its new tablet stuff, and they're going to be cracking down over there already, you know, and and apples already.

Playing the political game by not making certain things available through the App Store and on their phones in in different countries depending on the political suasion of that country just for their business, you know, so it's it's a, it's a fine line between where these large business people have got a thriving business and then when they actually outsource everything to other countries and these issues whether social or economical, you know, they actually put the squeeze on these companies.

And tend to bend the knee because of the money.

I absolutely love what you just said and this is great conversation and that started even looking at the key performance indicators, right. So KPI's, I talked to you about it and so have you all been able to look at the key performance indicators that Elon is tracking to your point. So taking our steps, our thoughts a little higher. So on a weekly basis, he looks at the key performance indicator and how he's performing his scorecard. So the things that Elon is tracking such as.

First, he wants everybody know he's recruiting, right? It's so funny and have y'all seen this, so I'm gonna post it to the top of the screen. I'm trying to figure out, I'll do that, I'll post it. But he's he's tracking new user signups at all time. High, right? In November, it just went through the roof like 2 mil 2,000,000 per day. I was like, whoa, is that right?

Then I started looking at user active minutes is at an all time high.

All time high, so there's some really high records being established. Then he starts to look at M Dal passes quarter billion mark.

M doll. So I can drill in and it'll tell me kind of what that measures. The daily Active users, global daily active users. I'm hate speech impressions. So from the announcement time till now hate speech was all it was at a high on Twitter and these are metrics that we didn't necessarily have exposure to and and of course this is just the report but the impressions are on almost at a low.

It doesn't say all time low, but it's a low. Reported impressions spiked, then they fail.

So there's something going on with the oh, I'm sorry, the impersonation. I said impressions, the impersonation. So I remember seeing all these in Elon Musk accounts all over the place and then the authentic one come through. So he's tracking things like that and also the Twitter 2.0 everything app.

Be quiet for a moment. I like the conversation that's going on, how we're managing overall, like the monopoly or the lack of the monopoly, the data. So this morning I wanted to, and I'm going to this and then I'm going to mute my mic for a second, but I'm going to tell you about your data on Twitter, so how you access your data on Twitter. So what I do?

Is on a weekly basis I go through now and I grab my my data from Twitter and I download it and it normally depends on how long it it has to download as a zip file.

So I saved the zip file to my drive and then I unzip it when I'm ready for it. OK.

So what type of information is available to you when you get your data? That's all. I mean, there's so much information in there, but how you download it is you go to.

You're more tabs, so on your computer you have your more tab and then you'll go into your settings and privacy.

Your settings and privacy. You're going to choose your account.

I think you're gonna download and archive of your data.

And you confirm your password, then you select request archive.

Receive an e-mail when your data file is ready for you.

That's the extent.

So a lot of times data files, and I didn't know this were requested for litigation and court hearings and things like that. So I'm like, wow, so understanding your data. So I'm just Yonder. In 2021-2022, I came on Twitter, I did Twitter spaces. I recorded every single day of Twitter spaces. Wait a minute. And I went and got my data for 2022, excuse me, in 2022, all of Twitter spaces.

Hmm, wonder what I could do with that now. OK, go ahead spots.

Just because I'm curious, for your situation specifically, what data points are you actively looking at for your own self? Are you?

Are you looking at, are you doing any like data off of any like paid campaigns that you've run on Twitter or are you doing it specifically off of the Twitter spaces or are you trying to.

What points are you specifically looking at for your journey?

For so this is all new to me and I'm learning it. But specifically, I wanted my I wanted the Twitter Spaces podcast, and I wanted to Twitter Spaces podcast because I wanted to repurpose all of that content, right? So now there's hours and hours and hours and hours of content that's been recorded that's there. And so it's access to a network. So.

What I hope to build is the trust network and by building the trust network because we're early in the Web 3.

It allows for those people that are coming to understand, we've already vetted, we've already went through. So for me from the data points it's creating the trust network for the arrival of web three businesses, individuals.

Does that make sense?

So when you when you take the analytics from.

Of the Twitter spaces that you're doing, which I'm assuming that's one of the.

Um, data points that you get is probably some analytics in there. Um, does it, how specific it does it go? Because I haven't actually looked at this on Twitter much as far as the analytical side.

How in depth does it go? As far as like will it tell you maybe from 6:30 to 6:45 you had, you know, 50 users or profiles enter the room? Or like how in-depth does it go?

If all of that, even when I wrote something and I deleted it, it tells me how many of those. Like it's so intricate and because it because I'm I'm using muscle memory, right? I'm using power that I haven't necessarily activated in while I'm looking at it. Because for me, I'm saying to myself, I want to know from a from a standpoint and my one of my goals in using data is to understand, am I connecting with my audience? 1/2 is my audience here.

Three, what does my audience want? Four where does where does my audience go when they leave me? Like how does that hold? So they're like once I have my data, I then there's a whole website dedicated to your data analytics. Once you have that link, now you have like tweet deck, you have like analytics. You have all that in a website already for you. Your they have a dashboard for you to be able to analyze your analytics.

OK.

And it's a lot like I was like, Oh my gosh, all these lines and my spaces, my tweets, my likes, my engagements, my how much time, who, who responded when? Like, there's so much there.

Gotcha. OK. Yeah, I was just curious, I know that you can see your basic analytics on.

LinkedIn, which is just on your profile page on a daily basis so you don't have to go too far to look for that. But even on like a platform like Facebook, that was always one thing that I wished that they that they showed. Other than if you're posting a video on there and you can see your video views like I wish I could see how many impressions this specific post got on on Facebook.

Absolutely. You can't. And I'm, I'm about to go right into that. So before I go into that, because I'm going to teach you how to get your data from LinkedIn and I'm also going to teach you how to get your data from Facebook. Hey, Lucas, go ahead.

I wanted to ask, um, I just wanted to comment that this is brilliant and and.

Thrilled that here and that hearing you talk about Twitter Space podcast. I'm just curious about how how easily like so you download your data or you have a dashboard that you can see it on it how easy like how readily movable between formats is it, how easy is it to export this stuff like like the recorded spaces for example from Twitter.

Ohh my goodness Lucas. I was like what? Because part of being a strategist is understanding all the the connectivity to software and stuff. So because I was part of LinkedIn Cohort group and you'll see all these creative cohorts coming out, I didn't get selected but I was an applicant. They gave me the constellation. So the next step to getting the data is being able to see what I can do with the data. So I was able to get descript for free. So Web 3 Grandpapa I added you.

To the script so you can check that one out. I added you to restream IO and I added you to stream yard for free the professional so so that you can take a look at those. So you should have got those anti attitudes of video ads. So those are some of the tools that I used to you know kind of do some stuff. So what what happens with all these these this data and stuff. It was simple to just literally Lucas. I just uploaded the thing like here's the file, let me click on the file.

Look, it uploads, it's like what you want to do with it now that you want to add animated slides. And it was instantaneously, it probably took me seconds to upload it into a descript because the script does podcast video, it does a whole bunch of stuff. So they're up and coming. Restream IO is whoa man, they're fantastic. You can stream up to 8 channels. So I've been sitting down. So here's the other thing, Lucas. So now we got my data, now I have some different podcasts.

Technology I'm leveraging.

Spurts, right? Stream yard professionals? Some other. And then I'm going in and I'm uploading my spaces into those.

And then I can create all the editing content, all this stuff that I've never used in my life. I'm not a creator or any of that type stuff. From that aspect is there matter of seconds? It makes your life so much easier. And then you stream it out to 8 platforms, 8 of them at once. Talk about scaling your time.

I actually, so I've looked at restream and it can actually do even more than that if you keep looking on and on into the the more and more enterprise plans. I'm like starting to look at 25 platforms and wondering are there even 25 major platforms or 25 platforms with you know many people on them at all, but I don't know.

There are, there are a lot of social media platforms. So kind of walking you through those like that's what I've been doing. So I'm going to take a pause for a second. I'm going, I'm going to talk to you about the LinkedIn. But yeah it's the ease of use. Like it just makes so much sense. And remember this is and I'm being strategic again this is 2022 content, right for the whole year. So for those that want a history lesson right, say whether it's the company's.

Because remember we talked about the whole Starbucks, right? So I and again I've worked for it, my kids been, I've been touring stores with technology since 2004. So and I've been upgrading and doing this stuff. So like and you know being exposed to companies that are on the cutting edge of technology. So understanding those integrations is just is awesome and how data is used.

I'm gonna go ahead.

Yeah, uh, yeah. And uh, have you used it? Have you used stream yard before to, uh, do a live stream or like a an interview?

No, I just set it up probably 2-3 days ago and got everything integrated and my channels and all those things.

Have has anybody on stage used uh streaming right before?

No, I haven't.

OK, yeah, no worries. I was just looking at it the other day. That's the platform that I chose to do my podcasting on, and I'm about to run my first episode, but I wanted to make sure that I was able to record separate audio files for both me and the.

The contestant or the interviewee, however you wanna.

Call it.

But one cool thing about stream error that I do know is that it records. You have the option to record on both users devices. So if you are in a place where you have bad Wi-Fi, for example, it'll also be recording the same stuff on the person that you're talking to his device. And they can simply download the file and send it over to you and it'll be totally clean uninterrupted audio and video, which is kind of cool.

That's awesome. That is very, very awesome. I all I did was like program my tickers and all this and this is what I want to say and customize those I have streamed using Restream IO maybe a dozen times. And whether I use the OS or use a different type of L what is it, a LMH or something? I know I'm not a techie tech, but I've used restream IO. I've created my backgrounds, the different scenes cutting in and how simple it is.

To create different frames.

So and I've used this script and that one like it. They just did an update and I'm like. So I'm gonna get into stream yard spuds and maybe we can, maybe I'll be.

A little better wired to be able to talk with you about string yard. I think that's awesome knowing I'm so proud of you.

Yeah.

Yeah, well the good thing about streaming too is that you don't have to download any software to be able to use it. You just go to the website and then you.

Like sign in and and then you're good to go. So it's not like zoom or you have to have like a a soft like a app or anything like that. You just go straight to the website which is nice and convenient.

But yeah.

Ohh man see I should have had you all along because I'm one of them desktop people. I always download my stuff in the desktop. That's why I run out of memory all the time. I'm the dango sucker and and the reason I'll tell y'all this a little bit. I download the the desktop versions of this software because I use the tools that they give me and they always unlock all these other features when I use their tools. So I'm like OK, thank you, I got a beta on this. Let me see how this goes.

Work before everybody else, but that's a good idea. Great conversation is dragon scale. Welcome to this, the cohost panel.

Hey, what's up? Morning. Um, am I my life here? Can you guys hear me alright?

Right on time. We can hear you.

OK perfect. Yeah it's my new phone. It doesn't have the little speaker icon when I talk which is confusing but everything else is great. Phones working good. I wanted to mention that restream dot IO they used to have like a.

I guess what you would call is like a chat put together thing. I don't know what you call it even, but we used to use that to put your chat on your screen so you could talk to people on different platforms all at the same point. And I know there's other tools out there now for that. But just to kind of put it out there, you can include different chats from YouTube or Twitch or Facebook and you can put them all in one system. So that way you can have kind of like a chat panel that everybody can r

I'm loving that. So I noticed when I was setting upstream it was saying like at my home, I mean stream. When I was setting up Twitch it was saying at my Facebook links and something like that in inside of the chat stuff. I know in restream IO it has that chat overlay but I don't know if that's what you talking about. I'm a non techie. We have three grandpa, you had something, but go ahead drag your scale and then we'll come back to you. Grew up through Grandpa.

No, I think I'm good.

Is are you talking about an overlay?

Yeah, it's just, I don't know my phone, I think it's locked in my hand up or something. But yeah, I'm good. That was the main thing is, yeah, that there was like a plugin for putting all your chat together. I think that was the overlay that you were talking about, yeah.

Wow, cool. Yeah, cause it'd be like Anonymous came here and said that from Facebook. Anonymous here came over here. I'm like, listen, I'm a OG so I'm just watering this thing down. That's how I see it. But it's really good. We went through. Grandpa, you was about to say something.

No, no, that's OK. Couple of other people have already mentioned the platforms and other stuff, so I thank you for getting back to me. No, I'm just sitting here now listening, enjoying the conversation. This is great. And I think the more people talk about video integration and actually bringing that into these platforms, the better. I think you actually can build even stronger community by people being able to watch you while you're talking as well. I've always enjoyed doing that on Telegram.

YouTube or other things when I've when I've had the opportunity and I actually think it builds a much stronger community and me personally for data on Twitter what what what I actually really take notice of is 2 things really.

What style of post?

Creates the most engagement. And I don't mean, and I don't mean in impressions. I actually mean engagement. So like news, news stories get me a lot more impressions.

Um, but information?

Tends to get me far more engagement.

So that's just a, you know, a basic thing that I've really noticed.

Hey went through Grandpa. Do you know by any chance if they have um, can you do poll questions on Twitter?

I believe yes you can. Yes it's a it's it's definitely an option.

You think those have good algorithms?

There's a few people that do quite often do polls on on Twitter.

And I think if you're someone that do them regularly.

I think you can get some good data if you're not. I think most of the time people just do silly answers. But if you, if you do them regularly in your community gets behind you. I think Poles hold a lot of weight. You know, like at the moment Elon Musk uses them to great effect, you know, and and some people do. So I think they're they're well worthwhile. But I think they really do need to be targeted and necessary.

Lucas, have your hand up.

Great conversation. Go ahead, Mr Dean.

I'll just say Lucas has had a handle for awhile.

Well, it makes me think about how it's like people follow topics and there are influencers on specific topics and they're ideally situated like an influencer who's fan base is is in a cell.

E-mail area, they're ideally situated for certain bolts and this is like, you know, paying for social media promotion like this 3004 thousand a month that we were talking about at the beginning. It's like almost like the ability to leach intent, attention have like helps you.

Do stuff. And so it's almost like you know this social media has has gotten really bad name because it's distracting us and fragmented us in different ways when you look at our day-to-day lives. But like here we're talking about bridges across all of these and what's especially when I hear this thing about this chat box where you can aggregate basically the the the writing and live response to the stream, it's like.

Especially if the stream can look down at that chat box and get this is this feedback we're talking about, like a central challenge like channel for communications on on planet Earth?

So many different. I mean it's almost like I feel like this is the brand need to build out as a collective is good, like responsible use of everyone, a broadcast station, and then like working with one another to empower each other to that responsible use.

Scale.

Yeah, I was just going to mention, uh, one of the polls that I had set up a while back was on Twitter. And I guess just kind of be aware of some of the people you're bringing into those too, because we had it available for like our whole discord community and I wasn't quite ready for the responses I got. I actually got like 176 people when we first opened the discord and they came flooding in and we were actually in a fight with Twitter at the time because they had banned my account for mentioni

You couldn't use the advertising because we had something to do with NFTS. And then when I responded to them, I was like, we don't actually have any NFT's attached to the brand. There's nothing on the company page, there's nothing on my website. We have no cryptocurrency. There's like literally nothing, web 3 from my company directly that they could tie to me. And just by like mentioning NFT's here and there and following some accounts, they were like, well, you're associated. So they went ahead

And so we put this poll out there, we had a bunch of influencers kind of posted up and we got 176 people that filled out the the poll that we put out.

And most of it was like bounty hunters.

It's like people that were excited to be in the community. They wanted some free giveaways, they didn't really want to take the time, and they weren't really paying attention to what we were doing. And so it kind of devalued them quite a bit just because we knew that we had 176 people that weren't really paying attention to the brand. And so we ended up going a different route with that. We said, well, let's not drop any crypto right away because we want like a serious community here before we d

Kind of gave us the right direction over the next six months. But definitely keep in mind what audience that you're getting out to. So like have a couple of questions that are really serious and and you can like really sift through the people. If you ask them like what metaverse do you own land on and they reply, yes, you know, it's like they're probably not taking it very seriously. So it's a good way to sort your audience a bit.

That was really great information that you both shared, the collective and the ability to leverage your poles and being very specific and strategic what you're asking and your polls will help. So I think that's good conversation and I wanted to take you to LinkedIn and teach you how to get your data from LinkedIn. So I want you to click it for you all that's still that have LinkedIn accounts.

You wanna click on your me icon?

You click on your meat icon. I want you to select settings and privacy. You all the gold is hidden, I believe, behind settings and privacy. OK and then you click on data privacy and that'll be on the left rail.

And then under how LinkedIn uses your data section.

You'll get you'll click on get a copy of your data.

Then you collect the data that you're looking for and request the archive. I request all my data. I want it all. I want it all. And So what started me down this rabbit hole in this past was thinking about athletes. And I said, OK, do athletes wear monitors and braces? I know I got my Fitbit on and I know my Fitbit. No, I got my Apple Watch on and I know my my Apple Watch can pull some analytics, some data from me off my body.

But I wonder where that data is going off my watch. I need to get my so then for athletes, do they wear some type of monitors? I wonder if athletes, if they say I'm going to own all my data as they're playing in the basketball game, you know, LeBron James is going up for the dunk or he decides to do, you know, a layup and bank it off the backboard. What was his heart doing at that time? What was his leg doing? How was his breathing? Did he show any signs of, but could he sell that? Who would buy

Body his data.

For when he's working out.

When he's performing in a game.

Is that information? Who would want that healthcare?

Medicine.

There could be so many reasons why somebody would want that.

And so therefore, that started me down this rabbit hole of, uh, go get your data right now we'll talk about what you can do with the data, with all the data miners, right. So now we bring back the all the miners and all the data experts that say, Oh no, you want to do this, go ahead, spud.

I was just gonna say it always makes me laugh on LinkedIn specifically.

Because the data is easily accessible right from your profile page, there's a lot of people that try to use it as a flex on there. They they turned it into a post and I don't know if they're doing it strategically so people can see their numbers and think that they're like.

You know, Mr Wonderful or whatever, but that's something that you can do.

As well on on LinkedIn as used the screenshots of the analytics to leverage the fact that you.

Like maybe I don't know a lot of people.

Have faith that you know what you're talking about so that if you're working an angle at a business or trying to get some sales, you know people that view your post can see the analytics and and feel a sense of trust behind you, which I always found is kind of funny, but that's LinkedIn for you.

And I have for three months, I have LinkedIn premium. So I've been setting that up over the last couple of days as well. Internet, LinkedIn Premium, wait a minute, you get all the juice and all the tea was going on. And companies. So I'm like wait a minute. So I'm able to see their graphs. I'm able to see like what they're doing as a corporation to move from this point to this point, whether it's followers, whether it's engagement, whether it's conversion, whether it's.

Purchases, whether it's engagement, like I'm able to see all this stuff with this premium. I'm like, I'm going in on this one, spuds. It's good stuff you can see, yeah.

Yeah, well, the other thing too is like even with like forget like social media data for a second and just talk about like.

Data points in general and companies. My sister works for a company called Oracle, which is a huge huge company that one of their main jobs is to provide data based off of campaigns for advertising. And so I was asking her the other day, like what is it that separates you from you know anybody else? Because I was, I'm always curious to know like.

You know, when I look at the layout of all the companies and whatnot, they all pretty much do the same thing. Like, there's only so many analytics you can provide. Unless you have people on your team who are, you know, innovators or like, constantly pushing the envelope to try and find new data points to collect, you know, and she didn't really like give me that great of an answer. So it's just the.

It's interesting that you have like some big tech giants like an Oracle who are like providing these services but you can get a lot of that's that same information for for free through the the channels you know if you just take the time to to collect your points kind of like what you were saying.

And remember y'all I'm a non techie tech. So I'm talking to y'all from a non techie tech perspective. But because I'm a coach and I do my research, I my job is to kind of see around the corners and really take playbooks that I've seen apply through life that can apply here. And so when I look at the playbooks of just data and and how because.

Working for a very.

Like one of the things I can say about a previous employer I worked with is they measure everything. Everything is measured literally. I used to measure. I used to have to look at analytic reports to see from the time a cashier checks in.

That means swipe the clock now we're giving you targeted tasks to say now you you've swiped in your assignment is on register two register two has been loaded pre loaded with this and it's all this communication. So we went from paper to leveraging associate cell phones to be their communication portal. We went from Outsourcing 360 Geminis and tell zones to leveraging that technology inside a personal cell phones right. So when from the time that cashier.

Check. Then it swipes the clock and got their task and assignment to the time. They get to the register and they log in.

I'm saying to myself, why did it take you 7 minutes from the time clock all the way to the cashier? 7 minutes when it on average you it should take you 3 minutes to sign into that register. Because guess what, now you become a key performance indicator and I gotta drive, drive, drive performance to get you to three minutes and under. No you don't put your lunch away. No you don't, because you got to coach for the key performance indicators. I'm be quiet for a moment, go ahead and drag your scale

It's going to say real quick, and I don't want to cut off the other guys got his hand up, but uh, I used to be a trainer at Amazon for a while, and the amount of, I guess, like the amount of like, clocks that are running in the background is just completely insane. Like every single time a grandmother is like putting an item on a conveyor belt, it's like fully clocked. Somebody's watching it, somebody's checking those data points, somebody's making sure that they're, they're 5% of their, like, i

Working under them, they always go through that and they say the bottom 5% I'm going to go to and coached during the day. It's like a constant cycle. And like that's why they're turnover rates so high just because they're always getting rid of the people at the bottom. They're always like pushing for those higher numbers and they're trying their best to turn everybody into a robot for, you know, for better or worse. Like they're trying to make simple processes that anybody can do. They're trying

Yeah, yeah, definitely. Like nonstop clocks going in the background and they're always watching every single number that there is. So just want to put that out there.

Absolutely. So and and from data points, you're looking at customer optimization, right. So when I look at my customer engagement from the aspect of cashier performance and I see that they're unhappy because the lines continue to back up, then I have to go ahead and dress if I'm coming from consumer product side and looking at those or if I'm organically setting up something manual and digitizing it for performance to be outbound delivery. It just depends on what you're looking at from that piec

So Amazon was a huge competitor and they really weren't a competitor at the time. So I I'm a OG from this, right. So I took the paper, the brick and mortar. I had to teach the organic piece through. We're transitioning from how you do it paper and we're going digital, right. So let me teach you the digital, let's teach, let's teach you how to set up an isolate area so that you can have outbound shipping post. And there there's so much task. So even the self checkouts being.

Self checkouts or the Amazon go stores where you have already prepaid. And the last piece I'll put is Apple Pay. You have Google Pay and and one of the things I always understood as an operator is percentage of what I'm paying to Visa and MasterCard on my profit and loss statement. So that percent can I do something else. And I don't know if y'all noticed, but warmer pay is out there now. So now they're not giving Apple any money. They're not giving Google any money. So to that whole apple, that

The conversation, just talking to you about how big corporations leverage analytics and data, that's it's all about you. OK, well, OK. So we're going to hate it. We're going to hate it, and then we're coming over to win three, Grandpa, and then I'm being quiet. So go ahead, hate it.

Hey, what's up? Appreciate you letting me on. It's my first time in space. This one. I'm sorry. What's your name? What do you where do you go?

Oh my God, congratulations, we got a newbie to the community.

I'm so excited you're like, intentionally brought here into this space. You are so welcome. And I am Yolanda, the Waterdown queen. Pleasure to meet you.

Yalina, pleasure. Pleasure. Thanks for letting me up. Yeah. I just kind of came up here because, you know.

Data analytics and you know, use of your own personal data is like a huge concern for me, both just as metadata, but also in regards to like my field which is biotech. I work in in biotech and so I don't know if kind of people are aware, but 23andMe is becoming basically a healthcare company.

And you know, a lot of people have used 23andMe or ancestry.com to get their genome sequenced. Sequenced, which is all your genetic code, the genetic code that makes up who you are, right?

Well, these companies have actually been doing backdoor deals with Big Pharma and other pharmaceutical companies where they sell basically because you sign away your genetic information data to them and they now own that data, so they can then sell that data to these companies and they like.

Like the company that I work for we didn't pay for this data but we accessed it through the London Gene Bank and we've there's been other people have made deals as highest 125 million you know and I think Web 3 already see already know of and there are already projects out here that aren't just NFT related but allow you to take ownership of your genomic information store it in.

Kind of like a hard wallet or a vault and you know, just have ownership of it and also privatize it in the way that you want to. So I just wanted to throw that out there. I don't know if it was on topic, but sorry.

It is that we could go on and on. That's some good stuff went through, Grandpa.

You are Uganda.

I was just gonna say the reminds me of that. The late 1970s and early 1980s, working as a young man, they used to get quite.

Better body.

Hello.

We used to.

Workplaces used to bring in time and motion people. So a person used to turn up with a clipboard.

And time will give you times how long tasks you should have to take to do. And they would time and motion your whole job out for you. The day workplaces would pay a lot of money to get someone in to say no, no no, no. Like like sweeping that floor is a 5 minute job, not a 15 minute job. And when you mop the floor it's like 7 minutes and 30 seconds it should be done and then it's 2 minutes to put the mop away. So that was a.

That was a big deal when I was a young man, but then taking the piss out of it like that, on the other hand, is.

A lot of people don't realize how important that is actually in the workplace.

People need to realise that their time has a cost, and that cost is to the employer. So if you're selling something, you have to sell a certain amount of stuff per hour.

To pay your wage, to pay for the goods, to pay your wage and for the company to make a profit. So it's really important that most of your time is actually productive.

You're absolutely right and it's, it's part of when you're running a billion dollar company, just under a billion dollar company, you better have your hands around those analytics and your team and managing whether you look at it and you do the 8020 model. So 80% are thriving, 20% aren't. You need to focus there or you use the third, third, third model which is third or performing. Third is in the middle hurt, go visit the bottom 3rd and bring them to the top or bring them to the middle. So you'

Performance on managed labor. That's what I've done in my career. Y'all. I'm an organized my masters is in organizational management and organizational design. What I do is I look at companies and I say to myself, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Here's the profitability, here's the money, here's the scale. And I use more of a patriarchal type of system. Go ahead. I think we have leaf Haley. Welcome back in the esports. We're coming.

Hi, thanks. Yeah, I'm hoping that I don't rug cause more intense pretty shit in the minute. But yeah, now I just wanted to make a comment on kind of just clarifying everything and what I like to do is I like to just put everything into a couple of sentences. So it's still adjustable, but I I think this morning.

Actually got contribute to this the the conversation I hope but so and you know before we had that technology and and even paper like you know information still existed but we didn't really have a way to record it and you know make use of it and let's say if we you know just walked up to a door remember that door we used our heads for it and then since we had paper was able to kind of store that information to be used at a later date and was able to analyze stuff and then now that we've moved to

We're able to do that in a even more kind of a efficient fashion. So, you know, you can kind of think of it with technology. What we have done is we have created kind of this layer above reality where we just take information from reality and we store it on this digital layer that just constantly exists. And now that we're getting to a point where not only can we use our maths to analyse this information, which we've been doing for quite a while, we're now getting to a point where.

Um, trust how we as kind of agents within our own reality, we taking stimulus, stimulus, we're taking inputs and information from our natural world and from our screens now as well and we come to conclusions. And now once we are at this point where we're able to mimic that kind of why that we taking information from the physical and digital world with AI, it's kind of like a whole nother leap of.

Of an understanding and comprehension. So not just how we can use that analytical skills within the digital realm to make predictions about the future, which is what we like to do as humans we can now.

Use that that the fact that we are storing this information for that's just assume in indefinite time.

Um.

The bigger and bigger it gets.

It's kind of just going in One Direction and um, you know, we're going to get to a point where we are able to gain enough information from our physical and digital processes and companies and just things that are happening.

To a point where.

We kind of have a global understanding and consensus of all of that information across the entire globe.

So once these kind of, I like to call them singularities. Once these singularities are hit and you know we now have that that type of tools and.

Understanding in place to kind of move on to the next layer. It's a yeah, a lot of a lot of pretty cool stuff can happen. But yeah just in conclusion I think it's it's really important to think about information in a way that it didn't just come about since we've invented paper and.

And data for computers, it's just with found a more effective way of storing that data, a more effective way of processing that data. And yeah, as it gets bigger and bigger, it's yeah, it's definitely going to increase.

I love how you how you walked us through a timeline for people to be able to understand and I really do appreciate your contribution. That was really good.

Yeah, I was just gonna say, uh, I agree with a lot of what he he just said there as far as the data and how it's just basically transformed from what was already.

You know out there to a more sophisticated and simpler way of of obtaining that data and storing it and housing it to be used for other purposes. I don't know if I told some of you guys before, but my father-in-law owns a a donut shop. He owns four of them actually in, and he recently purchased a piece of equipment that basically takes the place of like 3 different employees on like an assembly line for.

For the way that the doughnut itself is made as a means of like saving a money on on labor costs, with the way that inflation's risen and just the overall.

Efficiency of how the system is run, you still need. There's still like a lot of things that you can't replace at his particular place of business, but that is definitely a tool that he is experimenting with to see how that helps his productivity. And it seems to be doing very well. I think it already paid for itself in a matter of a couple months, but it's in the terms of AI since it's such a hot topic right now.

It's it's all over the place on on different social platforms and the way that it's learning and the capabilities and whatnot has some people concerned. But what I was actually going to say right just before I left in regards to like the the social media and the data and that stuff is, I've said it a couple of times in this space, but.

I've seen more and more companies that are collecting wallet addresses so that they can send you advertisements. So don't be surprised in the next couple of months if you see like you go to your, you know, Meta mask, wallet or whatever and you and you see like an ad in there for someone's NFT project that they paid to have put in, implemented into your crypto wallet via AirDrop or whatever.

That particular business I think is gonna is gonna boom in the in the near future. So just keep an eye out for that you guys have a good day.

Thank you for your contribution and you have a good day as well. I still can teach you all YouTube analytics and where to go and get your YouTube and we still got Facebook analytics to go to. So more as far as getting your data. If you're on those social media platforms, go get your data, build a routine together, measure how you perform key performance indicators and and there should all be a part of your smart goals. Dragonscale.

Yeah, I was gonna say, yeah, I think it would be kind of nice to do like some sort of AI slash data talk one of these days. But yeah, I don't want to dive too far into it because we do have quite a bit to cover today. So over back to you.

Alright, so maybe that'll be next Tuesday, because yeah, the AI data talk, that'll be good.

Excellent, excellent. So we have.

Twitter Bay who came up? Hi Twitter Bay.

Hello, Jim, everyone. GMGM, happy Wednesday, halfway through the week. Thanks for having me.

Thank you for coming. It's a pleasure.

I am so glad to be here. I know you run these spaces nearly like every day. I don't think you missed a day, which is amazing to see the consistency, hope you're well, hope everyone else is well.

I I wanted to throw into the mix something I think I I've only found utilized by one person, possibly by many, but highlighted by one person, I should say yesterday, Ryan Carson, for those of you who know who he is.

Did a post or tweet, I should say. He screenshotted a list of job opportunities and essentially what he did was.

He said for those who have X amount of pops from his space which is called daily dose I believe.

Are welcome to apply based on the number of polyps. And I thought it was quite interesting, right? Because when we look at.

The analytics or the way data is being collected, most of it is of course either future like expectations using your wallet address, but then also write what whatever social media platforms have been collecting. We're kind of aware on how we measure ourselves, but also how they measure us. But I thought it was very interesting because it it kind of highlights behavior. I think it also highlights commitment, right. So if you're looking for committed people.

To recruit, let's say if you're an FT project or just a space that's running, you know, a job board, let's say.

Or recruitment?

Every time someone redeems a poep from you, that almost comes out to be turns out to be like a, you know, commitment. Like a badge of commitment, right? Like you showed up whether you were listening or not, but you showed up. And I think it was quite interesting being able to collect that as a.

As a way of like measuring how committed people are. Right. So if you have more pull-ups you can apply for, I mean if you had I think around 10, you could apply for like CEO or 20, I think you could apply for a CEO or COO. So in a way it's also measuring our behavior, which I thought was interesting. Now I don't know how much of that can transfer into analytics, like how you would measure that. Possibly you might have to download some data from poep and then, you know, export that.

Into an excel sheet. But it was interesting. Like we we always talk about one of the most important things is showing up right. I think that's like the hardest thing to do as an entrepreneur and especially in a space where.

It's still not really defined in terms of structure for getting a job and almost like keeping that job when companies are looking for people in this space. I think having a pull up is a great form of measurement, especially when it's to a particular space and especially Brian Carson being the individual that he is, he does hold credibility, right. So his space is credible or deemed credible by the companies he works with. So that was very interesting for me to see and I thought I'd share it. I t

People to recruit within their own communities as well. Like, imagine having people who show up like every single day for the past 100 days, but they never go up to speak. But they're always participating, right? That they kind of get missed out in the noise.

So that's a great, great little way of redefining the proof of attendance to proof of commitment, possibly.

Thanks for being here.

Absolutely. Your thoughts on that, Mr G and Dragonscale?

Yeah, I'll jump in on that if Mr G's busy.

Yeah, I've seen that note, quite a few of the, I guess like the music NFT spaces and being able to bring that into like virtual events and doing like attendance, um, would you call it, I guess attendance, NFTS type, stuff like that. Yeah, I think it's fantastic. And I like the idea of NFT's being used almost like a ticket stub at a movie theater where like it doesn't necessarily give you the movie or doesn't like give you necessarily, you know what the end product is, but it gives you access to

And then you have like a token to show that you went to that. So it'd be like if you had uh like a Woodstock and FT, you know, that'd be something really valuable. Would be like ohh man that's like a collector item, but it's also something to like.

Yeah. I mean, kind of access the event when you're there and then like show off to your kids. It's like an heirloom. You can pass down and be like, yeah, we were one of the original families to be at Woodstock. And, you know, it's just something really cool to experience down the road. So I want to bring that in.

That.

Yeah, no, I totally agree.

I mean, yeah, the the hybrid of the NFT's and I mean being non fungible and the upgrade of what we're looking to bring these in, I just put this fantastic. So we're just scratching the surface of the technology, yes.

This is great conversation. Absolutely. Go ahead Twitter.

Thanks and thank you all for for sharing your, your thoughts on it. I I would like to say based on what you said Dragon, like you know a ticket stub before didn't really mean much except you wouldn't just watch the movie, right. But you'd obviously have to like pay attention to the movie to then be part of all these discussions. And I think one of the great things of what NFT's do is you, you have the same experience, right. And by that I mean you went to some sort of space.

Or you participate in some sort of community event and you claim that the NFT itself, which has everything you need right information of when it happened, why it like what was the purpose behind it, possibly who was there?

That was making it so important to have a pull up and then you, you, you're able to build connections with people right away, right? Because you're gonna either remember the name of the event or remember that you had a pull up. Someone's obviously going to mention it. And these like, I, I don't know if they're buzzwords, but these sort of trigger words like trigger thought, right? Bring back those.

I mean, essentially help you remember or help your memory almost kind of like allow you to connect with people, right? It's like collectibles, like we can all kind of relate to Game Boy or Pokémon, even if we've not like been a part of that ecosystem.

It's easy for us to relate to it because we grew up with it and it's almost like poets have become that or like NFTS have become that sort of item where we will eventually have nostalgia to certain ones that have come from the past that we possibly have been a part of or experienced together. So I think like when it comes to connection, the the easiest thing to do is connect through pretty much an NFT over everything else. You don't even have to like speak on spaces.

I've seen people who made more connections, built more engagement for themselves in this space without having to even request to speak so.

Thank you.

That was great. I just, you know, so as you all were talking, I wrote down poem app. I wrote down the trust network because as iron sharpens iron, right, and that we're all working together, that trust network, as people arrive, like we don't want them to fall into Rd projects. We don't want them to, you know, start building. We're here on the front ground, so charting that journey. So my thoughts are like I'm creating a collection of spaces. Y'all.

Like literally 2022 everything out of our spaces. It is a collection and it has all the audio files inside. So as we create and chart through this is where we started. So and this is because there's a community around it. So when you take from like lanyards for instance, if you know what a lanyard is, it goes around your neck. And so early adoption to what you're talking about collectibles, digital collectibles is being able to.

Like those charms, so there's badges on your lanyard, right? So that is a proof of ownership that that says I belong to a community somehow. And on those lanyards you have those badges and it just says and then you used to be able to.

Those badges, when you collect so many, you're able to exchange those badges in for a share of stock, for instance. And that's how, like some of the technology companies have used, the paper version of digital collectibles is taking the hard taking the lanyard, putting a little pin on it. That pen, just think about it it it's the value. And then you get so many pins you can turn your pins in.

For a share of stock or discount on the ticket and exclusive one-on-one conversation with you on a monthly basis, you create the value around your badges, around your collectibles, about. So when you were talking, that's what was coming to mind for me. Go ahead, drag and scale.

All right, two things. Really, really quick. Uh, I didn't get a chance to wish you a happy birthday because we've been so busy doing stuff, but uh, just wanted to put that out there before I forget completely. And then secondarily, I kind of wanted to bring up another key term, or I guess it's a kind of like what poep stands for really, but gamified participation, that's like such a bold thing that we've already explored, but it hasn't really been well known if you look at like Xbox and the trop

That's like such a big part of it, getting rewards and getting like checkpoints where you complete something in a game and they say, oh, you collected all these things, here's a trophy that then goes into your account. With NFTS, you're finally getting ownership of those trophies, so you don't have to worry about what happens if you change accounts. Will you just transfer your NFT's to a new wallet? You still own it, you know? Whereas like these old school web two companies, they were always hol

Trophy for it, but now we're starting to see that transfer to the user where they have control of all their participation trophies. So really cool stuff.

Absolutely. And when you said that it made me think of Reddit. So I've had Reddit on my phone. I've been Reddit member, I don't know, for years. And they're like, hey, welcome back. After years, I'm like, thank you, Reddit. So I opened up my Reddit app and all of a sudden it takes me to these entities and it's like, welcome, you have your free NFT. So let's mention NFT right now here it is. We got FIFA going on. So this we're going to walk you through this. Hold your I was like Reddit, what is g

They have this in reading it, I believe what they said was the NFT was an accidental success. They didn't necessarily know it. They weren't intentionally going for the community to go through and and and and have all those NFT's and those collections sell out successfully in seconds. Like they're giving free NFT's away and stuff like that. So as you were talking, I was like, yeah, OK. So now I'm going to social media platforms. I'm like, OK, let me see if they have.

Anything are they gonna be giving away NFTS and stuff. But to me as a like a coach and I want validation clarification from you all right. Because is the social media platforms that allow for you to do video, that allow for you to do voice, that allow for you to engage with your community. They have a layer under it and I'm seeing this layer is is there, the blockchain is in there on Facebook the layer.

On there is on Instagram. The layer on Twitter is blockchain. So I'm starting to get out and Reddit now I'm starting to get access. So are these social media platforms integrating blockchain technology and is it all equal? So are they integrating Ethereum? Bitcoin. Just a question. Anybody know?

All right, put it back.

So jumping right into it, I, I I think we can start seeing that with.

Um, so Instagram already has done that, right? They've they've introduced.

Basically every you can post your Ethereum based NFTS and now Solana based NFTS on Instagram we have Twitter. Obviously with Twitter you you can have the Twitter blue feature which allows you to use Ethereum based, you know, the hexagon or flexagon however you'd like to refer to it.

I think when it come, I mean beyond like the NFT display, I think we can expect that rather than spending $8.00 let's say on Twitter Blue, which is what I'm doing, I would spend X amount of whatever cryptocurrency.

I think Elon made it quite clear. That's why there was a bit of a teaser on his.

One of his last tweets, most recent tweets where he displayed a presentation about Twitter and then the last thing was payments, which was left sort of blank, right. It was like incomplete. So it's almost leaving you to wonder and I would assume from the direction of everything there is an integration there where to use also not just your ERC 721 NFT tokens, but then also be able to use ERC 20 tokens for spending.

However, I know that there is the narrative out there about our social media platforms decentralized.

I don't know whether that helps. You know, as looking at it like all the platforms currently there, there's some form of business model to it, right? But by business model, I mean there's income, not just simply you using it. And I think that's kind of what makes it different.

Because more than likely it's become part of our nature right to use such platforms. Now the fact that we're thinking moving away from centralized systems is great, but at the same time does it help our social behaviors? Because let's be real Dows they work in terms of technology, but it takes a lot of effort from a team or especially a lot of effort from like minded people to really work together right and especially work together anonymously.

We can see it from, let's say, the whole mining aspect, or let's say trading aspect. There is some form of doubt present there and people understand it. But when we get into NFT's, I think we bring a lot more humanity into it, right? Because there's identity, there's communication, and a lot more of it should because of spaces, because of discord, whatever it may be, there's there's this human aspect that we bring in that we don't tend to see, let's say, on the token side or not, token coin.

Side of things. So it's a bit complex when it comes to like how we behave and whether decentralized social media platforms help us behave more decentralized. But I would say in terms of what the social media platforms are doing today, we can expect that they will partner up with particular blockchains or cryptocurrencies to allow you to spend.

On them and sorry for the Ted talk, but that's that's what I think.

Ohh that was wonderful and you are correct, right. So, so Instagram, I'm able to connect maybe three of my different wallets. I just read something yesterday. I think Coinbase is not accepting certain tokens. But anyway let me go back over here to what kind of what Coinbase is accepting on their marketplace. So things are changing as to what they used to sell, what they don't sell. So I say, I like to say when I go into Instagram.

I can connect three of my wallets and one of my wallets is Polygon when I go over and I don't know if Facebook made this announcement or not but I just said Ohh, OK, I'm in my business page and Facebook says connect your digital I'm collection. I'm like wait a minute Facebook you want my I I should have known because it's the matter right? And so I'm like OK well let me go ahead and connect. So now all of a sudden like I'm I I'll send out the digital collectibles that's in my wallet. I send it o

Has this stuff, y'all better get your collections out here. So I connected because I want people to know I'm in the metaverse. I'm working with digital Collectibles, I'm working with these NFT's. These are some of the NFT projects I've invested in. Listen, let me tell their communities y'all all need to go out here and support. Then that signals to them, oh, I didn't know they were here. And then there's a ripple effect.

Then I'm so I went to Facebook, I went to Instagram. So go ahead, Twitter back.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off by raising my hand. But you.

Good diet, good dialogue, good dialogue, keep going.

Yeah, I, I, I, you know, I think the one thing I haven't seen yet which was great that you brought up Facebook as as the platform is Facebook has had communities for the longest time where I think like out of the the three top ones that we have right now like Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

Community has always been part of Facebook, right? When you have causes, you have like high school alumni groups or high school groups or university alumni groups. There's, there's like a sense of community has always been there. And if we look at the purpose of Facebook now, it's just to make sure you catch up with everyone's birthdays or everyone sort of like what are they doing in the world today? More or less like are they engaged? So I think.

I hope actually to see Facebook kind of taking that like into consideration where we might see universities start like bringing on some sort of let's say proof of attendance or like if you're part of this community is an NFT that just represents that you're part of the Illuminati, right, from Harvard or whatever it may be. So that would be quite fun because essentially what you do is you create demand, but the demand of not so much that I want to be part of Harvard illumini.

But rather I as soon as I'm done graduating from my university, do I get to flaunt it right? Like much like I do on LinkedIn with my profile, so that that I think would be so interesting to see. Great way for onboarding to take place as well.

And then also bring it into education a bit. I I think it's great that we're doing so much to educate people, but.

It's only, you know, we can't like, just put our money together and start our own campus, like hire professors to teach blockchain or hire professors to teach all these different things we're we're talking about. But hopefully with with that sort of introduction, maybe possibly meta can kind of push the narrative into actual education. I mean, I'm obviously generalizing, maybe there are universities doing that, but to what extent, right? And I think I'd love to see it take place.

It is, as a matter of fact. And we're going to be wrapping up in about 15 minutes or so. Dragon scale, I'm coming to you. So one of the things that Facebook has done is they have the Facebook groups or the Facebook communities have changed. So now you have channels.

Now you have chats, now you can have your private chats, your private channels and you list those according to what you're doing. They have causes fundraising. You also have breakout rooms. So now you have small, you know dyads or triads where small group of two or three that's coming through and you're giving them some master classes. So when I hosted events on Facebook, I started on the Facebook platform this year and just kind of keep going and I'm I'm subtle about my groups when people find

They come in there and and they're able to. So Facebook has done a really good job of building out this platform and bringing it up to speed. The challenge is to your point. Yesterday was my birthday. I'm so thankful I responded to 200 people or so, but I did it differently. I did video thank yous right. So I did video thank you. Facebook didn't have. Where I can put my gifts and all this stuff they normally give me. I had a great time engaging but my.

Target audience isn't quite engaging yet and because we're early yet, but they know I'm the metaverse and that's one thing I can say. So Facebook communities are doing a really good job. I mean my shops, my products there is, it's a full suite that's available to you. It's just are you my target audience? I'm not connecting with on Facebook, so.

Even though I'm there and have been for years, and literally that's where I have to pivot and learn some new in order to connect with that audience. Go ahead, dragon scale.

Um, yeah, kind of back on the other topic a little bit. Yeah, I think we're going to see a lot of people looking to set up certification badges and different educational systems that tie into NFTS just for that purpose of flaunting it and being able to wear a badge and say, yeah, I took this class, I did this thing. I would love to give out one for for people like starting out in blender and just saying, yeah, you want to learn how to 3D design, like come sit down with me for maybe like an 8 hou

And then, uh, you know, you start moving into like being able to go out and use that as a, you know, like a proof of what you've learned, you know, basically like a certification would be.

Excellent. Excellent. Hey there, Danny. Yeah.

Hello.

Hello everybody.

Ohh my friend.

Good afternoon to everybody because.

Good afternoon my my host and my co-host Dragon scales.

What's up, Mr G?

And my Co speakers, what's good, what's good? Yeah, I've been, I've been a little away from my phone because I was doing something else. So, but I was, I was with my airports, listening to everything, listening to what you guys have been doing. I mean, I've been discussing about. I mean it's, it's great.

Ohh yeah.

Everything made of us. Happy birthday in areas we couldn't. I couldn't celebrate you in the middle of us so.

Happy birthday in areas. And you know we've been talking about social media, social data analytics, tips on how to connect in web three. Yeah, thinking about how to connect in Web three, it's it's, it's so crazy because because this web three is so blessed in the sense that.

You, you, you can be doing a little stuff and then and then if you know how to pitch in what you're doing. I mean how to connect with people go into into educational spaces like like trophy viral spaces and everything medieval spaces. You know you connect with people you learn a whole lot of things and that's, that's a very very common tips that is very underrated in this web 3 space. You know like I always give respect.

My friends to how I got to meet everything. Nervous, like for the past. I was on his space last three months with everything made of us and then we're discussing it. I think it was with NFT dot IO.

A Malaysian company and it was a great space. It was a very big space with about 800 and something attendance participants in the space and then we're talking about.

How to integrate skills in the Web 3 space? I mean your web two skills. And then we're talking about like, OK, you don't necessarily need to know what crypto is all about before you can integrate your skills to the Web 3, because you might you you can, you can have different skill sets, but then.

You can still bring them into into your digital skill set. You can still bring them into the web 3 space. I mean make, connect, make connections with people, people that people that that that have a subordinate product that you're marketing. I mean just imagine.

Someone just imagine a restaurant and then and then you got a restaurant and then there is probably a a place of refreshment. So you just need to have partnership with with something that aligns with your product.

Someone selling food has to meet someone that usually sells water. You know, it's it's so it's so awesome in this web 3 space and that is an underrated tip for you to get to connect with with people that are going to support your product. I mean because it's a vice versa something, it's something that is vice versa. You, you you put in something of value and then you get that value in return. And I usually say that when you.

When you giving your value in the because you have to focus on giving.

In a world where everybody is taking you have to focus on giving and then when you're going to get yours, yours is going to be like X10 and and and that is it. That is it. So you know me coming up to to show up on everything made of versus space because I I I get a whole lot of knowledge and I believe for the fact that I am offering mine too because ioffer value I mean.

Understand how these protocols work.

And then pitch in what I have and then get from others. I mean if everything is just is just interconnected that is why it is called the web 3. Decentralization of skills, decentralization of of knowledge. You get it from everywhere and then you offer and then you get. I mean even the listeners sometimes they might have something to say, but not everybody has this, this, this. I wouldn't call it guts, but not everybody has this kind of.

I'm feeling to come up on on space and become a speaker, but definitely they have something to give out. I mean to speak about. But most of these listeners also they can, they can have solid stuff tread on their timeline and you can read through and then get educated one way or the other. So connecting in this in this web 3 space, I mean you need to maximize the use of your social media and talking about LinkedIn talking about even.

Telegram, talking about Instagram, talking about Twitter itself.

I mean it's it's so top notch, it's so great and that's cool. So that's my two cents I have for now and as time goes on we discuss more. So thank you very much. Everything made of us.

You are welcome, Danny Yak, and thank you so much for the happy birthday wishes. I stayed at home, I ate me some egg Foo young and it was a great evening. I would tell you, I wanna, I wanna close with this and then I'll go around Robin and we'll shut down the room. I thank you for all of your comments and contributions and going back to the badges, right. So I hope that if nothing else, like those takeaways, those badges, because I've seen how they work from an.

Standpoint and how it can grow.

It can grow. So like I went to Twitch and Twitch has emotes, right? I'm like what is emote?

OK, first of all, do y'all know Twitch is a social media platform? I know Twitch competition is basically YouTube.

And the last thing is, did you know Twitch was owned by Amazon? Did you know Twitch has this whole studio? I was like, Oh my God, and twitch just launched their analytics. I was like go, Twitch, go. So now you're giving people analytics. And one of the things that I value most, Mr GI wish I would have invited Twitch on yesterday to talk with us about this music in FT because they give almost an hour and 15 minutes master class on the on understanding.

DMCA guidelines. And so this is a I'm going off topic but but this is something that you all need to know because those digital main that software understanding the Berkman Center and understanding the Copyright Alliance, those three. But one of the things as we are creating content on social media there, there's challenges that pop up every single day on the content that we are creating and these social media platforms.

Have to then investigate. Like, I love music and I know they're pushing right now the celebrity music on my profiles and my content. So now I'm tagging some celebrity music, but what about the, the, the, the small businessman trying to make it? I mean, I haven't fell in love with some small business people trying to get in and now all of a sudden I can use these celebrities. Yeah, that was hype until I got into Web 3 where we're all about charting our own destiny together. So I was looking at th

Understanding that I could have a whole bunch of content that has is just muted muted content.

What value is muted content? So literally social media platforms are having to go back to this copyright and say who owns and break out these pieces based on the challenges y'all of our content.

And just like what?

So y'all better be paying attention as you're creating content out there. And if you're using stuff, if you're grabbing and using somebody else's stuff, they can have a claim on that content performance.

I'm calling for a moment so I know I'm not the last on those emotes. So the average emote, there are people who can create these emotes, I guess 3D pieces, right? And what it does, it averages anywhere from $10.

A collection to $70.00 a collection. Holy cow. So now you mean to tell me I can't have these bad, this bad company and I can create all these digital pieces that can be imported into social media platforms? Oh my goodness, I'm getting my head. I'm telling y'all yes, yes and yes. OK.

Be quiet for a moment. Just want to talk to y'all about these copyrights and what to pay attention to. And if you go back and you look at your content and it's silent, that means that you had a challenge. So you may have to challenge again because they're obviously trying to give more credit to maybe the music, the background or whatever you use. No, I'm saying because of what I put on there. That's why. So there are you need to learn how to fight back as well.

That was a lot.

So any thoughts on that, Mr G Dragonscale?

Yeah, yeah, definitely. I mean, we didn't get a chance to go down that rabbit hole too much, but I was actually looking at, I have some artists that want to collab and we have like 5-6 artists that want to get on one thing and to write that into the contract gets a little crazy. So yeah, you have to, you have to probably have a dev. I don't know any platforms that'll split up a contract into, you know, more than four wallets at the moment. But yeah, those are just some of the little tidbits we h

Love just trying to keep up with it.

And dragon scales? No, you were talking about those poll apps and those the whole languar badges. Any thoughts on tying this piece together?

The challenges?

I'm kind of all over the place right now, but I did go on LinkedIn and set up to download my analytics, so it's gonna take about 24 hours or something to get ready and they'll have those, so I'm really curious to get taken through that information.

Excellent, excellent. And so I I love LinkedIn. Been telling you, I used to meet with LinkedIn and the cliffhangers way back in the day, so that's really cool. Go ahead today.

Thanks and great way to sum up I think from from my own, just being a user of social media.

Um, I would say.

Make sure your.

On your perception and perspective of this space right there, both from a sort of web two or let's say Normie standpoint, right, like what you think of social media today and what you expect it to be. But the same to do with Web three, don't, I mean there's great, it's great, it's great to have so many content creators, but also make sure you're diversifying the type of content you're taking in, right. I think there are so many great ones, not to say ones are.

Not to discredit anyone, some are better than others, but find the ones that really give you what you want out of it, right? I I can say.

Even YouTube being or Twitch let's say being or Tiktok even being kind of like.

An entire ecosystem of content that you could just type in web three and you'd get like hundreds of thousands of videos and pick the ones that really stand out to you and kind of allow it to be your filtering process prior to you just taking an information. There's a lot you can take in and a lot that can steer you away from what you're trying to do. So aligning I think is a great way and it also helps you connect right, because then you can chime into so many conversations when you come onto Tw

Have a discussion and uh, meet up or go to an event.

So let's talk to share. Thank you.

Excellent dragonscale.

Yeah, just, uh. To the different platforms, like that's definitely something that I've been looking into recently, is like what type of content? I wanna be pushing out two different platforms. It's not like all made equal. It's like your audience is going there for certain reasons. So like when I go on Tik T.O.K, I'm doing speed builds and just kind of flashy stuff to be like, hey, this is cool, look at what I did. And the people that are like interacting with that, they're there for that type o

Information and a lot of the people that are on there, they're searching and they're regularly coming back for like tutorials and for like, yeah, more of like educational value. So that's, yeah, it's kind of the same with the analytics, like you want to know what type of audience is at that location, so that way you can kind of shape your content a little bit cleaner.

Absolutely. And some more alpha on LinkedIn. So recently they gave me access to try their new focus inbox. So it sorts based on relative relevant messages and targeted things that I'm doing. So a lot of times, like this morning, I'm so thankful for the demand that's building on LinkedIn. Today I just got tickets to the Metaverse Awards right for the American Metaverse Awards from the.

CEO that was in my inbox. So I get a lot of conversations regarding collaborations, partnerships, speaking engagements because I changed my profile. Again, some more alpha is in your profile when you're writing it, tell people I'm available for speaking opportunities. I'm available to travel and speak at your conference. I'm available. I'm available. OK, that's what I do. So I wanted to take a few minutes and go into like this whole inbox.

There's a whole strategy around Inbox management and and connecting.

So hello there, Cosmos. How are you?

Hello, good day, I'm good.

Good afternoon. Ohh, yeah. I'm so happy to be in this space. Yes, it's my friend Danny ink. He's he's the one that invited me to this place because he's doing well. Like social media adoption. Like if you see how everything is moving in this space, entire world generally you will notice that social media will help people to live. Like it will help people educate people about the economic status of.

Different countries like what offers you people are sharing here is so superb. I love it because I'm getting more since I'm following through valves and everything. Yeah, it works very well for me. Yeah, I'm so glad to be in this space. Like if you check the economic status, you see that knowledge, wisdom and determination is the best motivation that will help you to skyrocket to any level that you need to be in this life. So I'm so happy.

How you people are giving us clues and hints for us to be a better person in this current generation. I'm so happy. I'm so glad. Thank you for everything. Thank you everyone for remain blessed.

It's a pleasure to have you here at Cosmos. Thank you so much. Danny Yak is a respected member of our community and so I'm glad that he made his way in here. And I believe we have some. We're going to be talking more a little later. So that's really good. So it's a pleasure to have you on this stage. So really, really exciting. And you're right, the social media and the education and the onboarding. And listen, we don't have to reinvent the wheel. There are proven models that businesses have use

And to get in front of communities, I think the hardest thing for a lot of companies to understand is how to establish what we have here, a web three community. I'm very protective of our web three community. Like, you know, I think there's a different way that people come in. Like, like I'm not, I shouldn't say this. So let me say this, I would like to keep branding opportunities always available, but I want it to be available for our choppy verse community.

I wanted to be available for everything Metaverse community if that makes sense. Our ecosystem needs to eat from some of these collaborations that are taking place with brands and so creating and I keep saying it, but the web three trust network, right. So here we are. We've been here day in and day out. We've been talking to each other. We're getting a chance to learn and know each other. We support each other. Wait a minute, we we're family. We're ecosystem.

Here and so we have we're staying a whole year. I'm I'm just talking about me a whole year in this way of three of researching variety of the web literally. And a web starts here then it goes over here then it finishes up here and then it goes down here web three. So the easiest way everybody to think about Web three is think about the spider web and think about the web and does a spider take the same path to building their web or.

Do they have different places that they go to? Do they do a hexagon? Do they do an Octagon? Do they?

Every spider is different, but they all can make webs. I think most of them, let me say this, most of them can make webs. I'm safe with that comment. So it's really good that we're closing down last minute conversation going around the room to our fantastic speakers. Let's talk about key takeaways and some alpha you want to leave the listeners with. So we'll start with, OK, you Cosmos and then we'll go on to Danny Yak and we'll finish with, we'll go to Twitter baby. We'll finish with our co-host

OK, I'm here.

Thoughts for the community? Ohh OK go ahead drag and seal.

OK.

Can you hear me?

Yes, Sir, I can hear you.

OK. OK. The alpha that I want to drop to the community is like, you know, in this space, the best thing to do is to learn. Yeah, there is power in learning. Learning is something that will help you to get more knowledge, connect with people like some of us haven't understand what he's called web tray and blockchain technology like is in early stage. Yeah. And early adoption in everything that you are doing is the best thing that we give you what you need in this life. So.

In Web 3 and blockchain technology, I think young youths, adults, should partake.

Trying to be free in everything they are doing so is a very nice thing to partake early then learn. Don't be money money minded in anything, just learn first. Everything will be added to you. Thank you.

Excellent alpha.

Then, yeah.

Yeah, Cosmos, you didn't tell the community that today is your birthday.

And everything.

Ohh, I forgot. I forgot. Please. Today is my birthday. 30th November. Today is my birthday. I'm plus one today. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, then yeah. Thank you.

Everything went over celebrated our birthday yesterday so you guys are a bit months mixed.

Wow, why is a coincidence?

So.

I'm so happy.

OK. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Cosmos and yeah.

The little thing I have to say, OK, yeah, for the people that are here and for the people that are constantly come to trophy versus um, spaces by 11:00 PM UTC. And yeah, let me just use the universal Standard Time. Yeah, 11:00 PM UTC, 11:00 AM UTC. I'm sorry for that.

To Trump diverse species and come to connect with people come to come to shell in your ideas because this is a space that everybody have a voice everyone everyone have a voice here and yes you pitch in where you got and we have the the everything matter of us have different.

Speaks for each day discussion and all of that. So just come and learn, learn and learn. Pitch in your skills, pitch in your ideas and then, yeah, you.

One that wants to maybe partner with you, maybe collaborate with you. I mean many project handlers, many people with with with cool stuff. They they building cool stuff, they're all here we connect with them and then everything is about partnership. You create partnership or for value and then it is value for value. Iron sharpens iron so that is it. I I would this is my best mantra from everything made of as iron sharpens iron, so that is.

So think everything matters.

You are so welcome and I utter the same.

Thank you so much. You're amazing.

Butter Bay.

Um, let's see. Don't have any wise or words of wisdom. I think a lot of it has been shared if people have been listening, but if not?

I hope you can pass on.

The link to this room and continue showing up possibly and maybe bringing someone along next time. I think these conversations are great. They're obviously not just about projects or trying to make a sale. I think we build communities outside of our own projects or outside of our own, the things we do in this space.

And it's good to have a diverse group of people, right? We all talk about different perspectives that we have on what's happening. And I think that helps us build a more foundational opinion or fundamental opinion of of what we can see or not opinion, I should say, vision of what we can see coming to life in this space. So thank you for having me though and this has been quite a, I should say, unexpected surprise. I wasn't expecting to have such a great conversation.

But thank you anyway.

I am so honored to have you here. We are so honored to have you here. And we tried to defy and we try to educate the web three community every single day Monday through Friday. And not just through our lens, but through the lens of our speakers Co hosts. And so that the listeners come up and they say, hey, we want more of this, we want less of this. So I really do appreciate you acknowledging, but our class is.

Like every single day. It's like a master class. And I I don't. I didn't even look at the statistics yesterday. We had a small group day before we had a large group. So it just depends. So I really do appreciate what you have to say next. We're going to the Co host dragon scales.

Yeah, yeah, I I really love the, uh, the healthy level of tolerance that we bring in, you know, bring in everybody else's opinions, making sure that we know that there's going to be differences of opinions. We know that people are going to have new perspectives to bring, but there's a lot of health and like letting people speak, letting people sort of bring in their own knowledge and their own experiences to the table. That's something really major, especially looking back to data analytics. You

Those analytics aren't going to be as strong from just you. So don't be afraid to link up and sort of share analytics and talk it over with another group and don't be afraid to go out and get analytics from another group. You know, find someone who's already in your field or find a competitor and see what's working for them and sort of bring that into your own perspective and say well how can we utilize that? How can we take their most, their most interactions on their post or something, you kno

When I use that to my advantage, there's a ton of value in doing stuff like that. So yeah, make sure you sort of triangulate your position, make sure that you're moving around in the space. And if you're sharing analytics with another group, even if they're a competitor, you're both going to have a better chance of doing something with it when you share that information with each other. So a lot of health there. I guess that's a big key take away for me. Just be aware of, you know, what other va

Well, there, go ahead Twitter, right?

I actually thank you Dragon for saying that. I think my only summary to that is.

The best way to go forward is collaboration, right? And healthy competition comes from that collaboration. Once you share, even with someone who's competing with you, you build better opportunities for both of you, right? The space is still young in terms of how many people are here, especially after the past, let's say nine months. Now start the year with healthy competition with with people who are doing the same thing as you, but possibly allowing you to do one thing better than them and vice

So collaboration over competition?

Awesome. And I'll tell you an exercise on that. So I worked for one of the largest employers in the world from a retail standpoint. I worked for Walmart. I put in. It was a very robust career as an executive and one of the things I did starting my career out as a.

Assistant manager is every Sunday I went out and I shopped the competition. I actually went to target and it was beat the competition. So there's a spread that you look for when you're looking at the competition. So I would go out and I would buy 10 products from the Backpage of their Flyers, 10 products from the front page of being strategic because as an indicator, advertising the front page and the back page is the driver for you going into stores.

Again, I'm talking data, I'm talking about actions that happen in the marketing to get you there. So every Sunday I would go and shop and make sure that there was at least the margin spread that was necessary. And if it wasn't, guess what, I took some price decreases. Yep, I lowered the prices based on I always needed to have a a margin that a double digit margin against my competition. Yeah, who goes and buys from the competition?

And see what their prices are. I could ask somebody, can you scan this and tell me the price on this? Can you scan me, forget that I'm buying this stuff and then I'll go back and get everything and I'll add it into the inventory whole another scale. So just understanding collaboration and building and understanding healthy competition is good and healthy and that's the way that some of the largest brands in the world do competition. It's not hey, go out there, fly that drone over there, even tho

Dragon.

Yeah. Yeah. As far as healthy competition, uh, I wanted to kind of bring that up too. From, from my perspective, doing the three developing, I was kind of, I guess from time to time it still comes up. I get, you know, a little bit shaky working with other groups and being like, well, I don't want people to see what I'm doing sometimes because I'm building stuff that's like next level builds and whatnot. When I started kind of going out and looking at what people are doing, what people are sellin

So I'm like, it's really not going to hurt me if I start sharing how I do stuff because we put the work in and we're not afraid to put the work in. And so having friendly competition, it's kind of just like, yeah, if somebody really wants to put that level of work in, like step up to the plate because there's not a lot of it out there. And so you really don't have to be afraid of that. If you're passionate about what you're doing, you don't have to worry about someone else trying to steal that b

So definitely something moving forward. Don't be afraid to share. Don't be afraid to get out there and mingle, um, because if you're passionate about what you do like, you're gonna come to the top regardless.

Excellent. Well said, Mr G.

Yeah, just take away from today. I mean I gotta get on Twitch and sign up for that. I am familiar with it as an educator and the other one that I'll share if you do want to do any kind of online tutoring or educating even in a classroom. Another one I'm I'm looking into is called Pear deck for interactive lesson planning, kind of stuff like that. But as well as that, the data, I just didn't want to go down any rabbit holes. But yeah the data is digital gold and we got to protect that. But the on

And that's the other thing they're looking to collect between the data and your DNA. OMG, the governments want this more than anything else. So yeah, love the alpha this morning and just it's worth going back and listening to some of the tools that we've shared and everything. So thank you.

Absolutely. And I just wanna say to Angel. Come on up, Angel.

Good morning. I was up last night in a grim goyle space and I was helping them cohost and and I've also got a little bit of a cold so I wasn't feeling real good. So I just woke up a little bit ago and I see her get probably getting ready to end this space here but I can always relisten. Sounds like you had some good information in here today.

It was we we have amazing speakers and just so you know, Angel is one of our digital agents, one of the value proposition for our metaverse and for our team trophy versus that. Angel helps on board our investors into the metaverse. She takes you through you kind of work together and she sells she land. So that's what Angel does. She's wonderful. When I met Angel, literally when I met Angel, she knew nothing about blockchain NFT.

Like, she is such a classic use case from the aspect of you can teach anybody Web 3 Metaverse AI, now she, now she's looking at becoming a developer. I'm like, Oh my goodness, like, she is wonderful. And if I, and by the way, she's an OG like I am. So if she can do it, I know we all can do it only because she's putting in the work and we're seeing the success of her work. Like, I'm so proud of you, Angel.

Thanks.

So time time is the element y'all.

Time is the element that they're not making anymore of. So for me, I'm very particular on my time because I don't get that back. So if that's the case, if you value your time and you should, I want to thank you for your time because you felt it was important to be in this space at this time. Taking in this. You could be anywhere, but you chose to be here and you contribute to my wonderful speakers. Like our podcast really wouldn't be anything.

Without you all our Twitter spaces, I like how we bring our authenticity and ourselves, and we're really helping with real world solve. So I'm so thankful to be around geniuses every single day. You help me be a better leader because I'm able to kind of talk with you all. At this point, I'm just a receiver of when people come into the web three when they come into the metaverse. Consistently since March 2022, I've been recording myself on Twitter spaces.

I didn't even know how to use the Twitter. I didn't even have a Twitter account. Let's just say all that. So I had to set that stuff up. And from there I'm so thankful I've given everybody a follow in the room. So please do a follow back, but also do yourself a favor and follow these other geniuses that's in the room, OK? Because iron sharpens iron Danny yak. And because we are iron, we are still, we have to surround ourselves with each other. Y'all because.

It's difficult already to be in our Web 2 lives, but we're building the future in web three. Do you how how many sales we're using? Like Oh my God, I think we're super mainframe computer holding all this information and we're putting it on spaces. So I just want to say to my wonderful co-host that are geniuses as well, it's a pleasure to rock the stage with y'all to hear your your brilliance, to have to be a part of your contributions trophy.

Course is better because you all as speakers and Co house are in it. I look forward to tomorrow remember tomorrow and Friday tropy versus housing under their handle and I believe tomorrow they do cryptocurrency crypto trades. You get to talk about long short tokenomics how to read the market currently we talked through digital wallets, security, it goes all it goes down. So while it protection I would tell you.

All security is probably my number. One point is making sure that you all are safe. And then the second thing to me is this all about community. So I thank you all for that and on Fridays we have community.

Communities where you're able to bring your communities and thank you all so much for your time and I will see y'all in these Twitter spaces, streets.

Bye, bye.

Let's go. Bye, bye everybody.
