We talked inclusion, accountability, literacy, fandom … in
particular


What is a creator nowadays?

Transitioning from pure creator profiles to a creator /
business DNA?

What about creators’ inclusion in Web3, does one neeed to be
technical?

Is there a rough playbook to identify when one should issue a
personal token?

Building in public or Living in public? Issuing a token to
ask people what you should do next: how can a personal token
issuer be accountable? Is there a new definition of
accountability?

And will anyone issue a personal token? Who will be relevant
to issue a personal token? What about consumer use cases to prove
you live “right” in front of financial institutions?

What about the concept of “Personal & Creators market
caps”?

What about inclusion from a fandom perspective? How to
include fans not able to afford buying items / tokens from their
fave celebrities?



And other very insightful takes.


I am sure you will love this episode, we have a lot to cover so
enjoy this episode right now.
