incredible week in Austin for #Consensus2022 ๐Ÿค 

was so fun seeing so many people IRLโ€”especially some of our @DreamDAO_ members ๐Ÿซ‚

here ere are some reflections from the week ๐Ÿง 
Lesson #1: Plan your conference days with defaults youโ€™re excited about, while being open to spontaneous shifts away from those defaults. After going to half a dozen conferences this year, it feels right to strike a balance between sticking to a plan and going with the flow.
Lesson #2: Create lists of follow-up items so the energy and conversation from the conference doesnโ€™t just turn out to be fleeting and purely theoretical. The post-conference follow-up / follow-through is the hard part, but ultimately the most useful and rewarding part.
Lesson #3: Stay humble and count your blessings. I truly believe these are two of the greatest superpowers of anyone trying to do something genuinely impactful. We at @DreamDAO_ feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to share our story several times during the conference.

Another jam-packed week for @CivicsUnplugged and @DreamDAO_, another โ€œlearning in publicโ€ video ๐ŸŒž

Here are some reflections ๐Ÿง 
Lesson #1: Itโ€™s never too late to halt a detrimental plan. Sometimes a plan to solve a problem can make a problem worse, even if only because it diverts resources away from a solution that could actually solve it.
2) Meme makers + shapers have a lot of responsibility.

"web3" to me is a meme that has a lot more potential than the current way it's talked about. imho, web3 should refer to the evolution of internet technologies, not just blockchain + cryptocurrencies.

let's not ruin "regen"

about a dozen young @DreamDAO_ members are starting internships at leading regen web3 DAOs/startups soon! ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ› 

what is the most important thing for them to keep in mind so they can succeed in their roles this summer? ๐Ÿค”
i'll go first:

even if your manager does not mandate it, write out your goals for the 1-2 week period, run it by them, and send them out as an email to your manager at the beginning of the 1-2 week period (along with a reporting out of what you accomplished the previous week)
another one:

web3 orgs tend to be super fluidly structured. so don't hesitate to ask questions. and if you see an opportunity to contribute in a way that doesn't neatly fit into a job description, ask your manager if it's cool for you to try to fill that gap and go for it!

Another jam-packed week for @CivicsUnplugged and @DreamDAO_, another โ€œlearning in publicโ€ video ๐ŸŒž

Here are some reflections ๐Ÿง 
Lesson #1: bear markets suck, but they are grounding. they force us to reckon with what we most deeply value. and one thing i've found is that it is easier to weather a downturn when you deep down know what youโ€™re building is badly needed regardless of the state of the market
Lesson #2: people in web3 are incredibly busy. if youโ€™re planning something. it can be helpful if not ESSENTIAL to plan 3+ months in advance if you are trying to get buy in. especially since partnerships TAKE TIME, because relationships require trust. and trust take time to build

how would you fill in the blank? ๐Ÿค”

"'_________' is a question you should ask potential collaborators before committing a ton of time to working together"
when do you like to be contacted? how do you like to be contacted?
how do you prefer to engage in tension/conflict resolution?
