What an episode!

Raphael's background in DAO governance and analysis brings welcome perspectives into the soulbound token (SBT) web3 space.

We directly discuss the primitive of SBTs in regards to his well-written article on the dystopian/utopian angle that the SBT primitive evokes. We also attempt bridges between the parallel visions between DeSoc SBTs and the DID community, governance, and interpersonal coordination, all while keeping the north-star of positive-sum goals in sight.

Thanks for your time Raphael!

Nick Hansen, host of the GRTiQ Podcast, was gracious enough to spend some time with me on this episode of SoulSpeak. 

After hosting 75 episodes of GRTiQ at the time of this recording, Nick has had a front-row seat to some of the most influential business, tech, and thought-leaders in the web3 space. In GRTiQ, Nick usually steps back and lets his guests shine, but this was different for him and I was happy he got a chance to tell his story. I got to know Nick as a fellow podcaster, human, educator, as well as his background with business. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

Join me in getting to know Colson and his transformation in this amazing episode of SoulSpeak: Where Web3 Meets Itself!

How do we get people involved in web3 and keep them around? How might a confident identity and reputation system improve DAOs and their scalability? What are his concerns with identity/reputation in this space? What might DAOs become in the future?

Colson just left a seven year career in education to help guide and support these two DAOs full-time, as well as champion the values of The Graph protocol. I learn about his background, why he changed careers from traditional education to web3, some problems that he's faced within the DAOs surrounding identity and reputation, and where he thinks DAOs fit in the decentralized ecosystem.
