In this episode I talk to Gigi Skarlett, a software developer and Web3 founder. Gigi leads the NFT project Crypto Tech Women, a community-centric brand that’s onboarded over 20,000 people worldwide into the Web3 space.

Hailing from Venezuela, Gigi lived on a boat for a portion of her childhood, and started to learn to code at just 16 years old. Her talents led her to a career in Silicon Valley as a software engineer, and in 2021 she brought her knowledge and skills to the crypto industry, empowering women and minorities to use the Internet to build better lives for themselves and their families.

Today, we talk about the future of digital education, how to use Spaces to grow your brand, and why community plays such a big role in everything she does.

In this episode, I talk to Dan Goldfield, a mindfulness coach who’s meditated for over 29,000 hours, studied with a monk mentor for 5 years, and now transfers all his knowledge and experience to his students.

After being a professional drummer for 25 years and touring Europe with his band, Dan’s body began to betray him due to large amounts of physical and mental stress. In an effort to solves these issues, Dan went down a path of mental discipline and spirituality, which ended up changing the trajectory of his life and career.

Today, we talk about the power of no-mind, how ego can be both your friend and your foe, and the tight-knit relationship between mindfulness and money.

In this episode, I talk to Marcos Ruiz, one of 𝕏’s most successful entrepreneurs and marketers. Marcos’ agency, The Birdhouse, helps businesses with info products create content not just focused on engagement, but sales. Because the agency is honed in on such a niche vertical, The Birdhouse has little competition, and has continued to grow at a rapid rate throughout 2023.

At just 25 years old, Marcos is making multiple 5-figures per month from his agency and has developed systems and processes that allow his super small team to deliver massive results for his clients.

Today, we talk about the best ways to scale your agency, having a partner that’s also passionate about business, and the overlooked downside of building in public.

In this episode, I talk to George Ten, a 12+ year marketing veteran and founder of the CopyThinkers community, a group dedicated to helping people learn how to sell anything online. One of George’s core beliefs is that great copy is not about the words you use, but the emotion and psychology behind them.
