Are you missing better opportunities while heads-down in your work?

One way to find out: Join a DAO

Here's a simple primer on DAOs and 11 options to explore🧵

1/ Yes, it’s worth crushing your job.

But you should also explore & experiment to discover what sparks joy for you.

You need to answer the question: am I climbing the right hill?

2/ Community >> Networking

📉Networking: Attending a conference & collecting business cards stills gives me the heebie-jeebies.

It’s a takers game.

📈Community: Generously helping build and cultivate, lifting others w/o expectation is more authentic.

It’s a givers game.

3/ Enter DAOs, or Decentralized Autonomous Organizations

DAOs = Value Creation + Cooperation + Network
