In this episode of The Unstoppable Podcast, we speak with Jarrod Dicker, a VC at TCG, about something both he and TCG are excited about: the intersection between consumers and crypto. We start by getting his reflections on his first learning experience in blockchain—a startup called Po.et that aimed to put digital content onto the blockchain. While he reflects that Po.et was probably too early to the market, Jarrod believes in consumers driving crypto, and that powers his work with TCG. We also get his perspective on digital ownership, tokens, and NFTs, and quiz him about his own DAO, Dark Star.   Part of why Jarrod has a media-focused DAO like Dark Star is his love for writing. Dark Star aims to be a constructive lens to think about where crypto is going, by looking at what it has done so far. Jarrod has a background in traditional media and knows how the real-world environment of a newsroom drives creativity, together with the ownership of multiple stakeholders in storytelling. He thinks this is an exciting direction for a media DAO to go in (and is part of why he loves pioneering it in Dark Star).Throughout this conversation, Jarrod’s excitement for how the new consumer wave is going to change and shape what’s coming is infectious. --You can follow Matthew on Twitter and LinkedIn, Diana on Twitter and LinkedIn, and learn more about Unstoppable Domains and our work here.You can follow our guest, Jarrod Dicker, on Twitter and LinkedIn, and you can learn more about his DAO, Dark Star, here.--Don’t forget to rate, download, and subscribe to the podcast so we can keep producing awesome content for you and you won't miss an episode.

In this episode of The Unstoppable Podcast, we chat with photographer Kristopher Shinn to get his perspective on the growth of NFTs. We start with his journey to photography (via music and drums) and learn how he was inspired by seeing other travel photographers to go on that same journey himself. We also get inside the process of making an NFT from start to finish, what platforms he uses to sell them (including pros and cons), and finish by talking about what the future of NFTs is, as well as sharing some of his fun tweets from an ever-growing Twitter following.Kristopher has a focus on water in his photography, and a recent collection showcases his love of the ferry—which comes from using it so often and seeing people in their private worlds as they contemplate the beauty all around them. One of his collections is shot entirely on film, which is a format he prefers to digital and he sees himself mostly shooting on film going forward. The process of how something shot on film becomes an NFT is not obvious and he explains his own process. At the same time, he also explains what an NFT is for those who are still unclear about it.The path for artists is changing because of NFTs and Kristopher shares his perspective on two platforms he currently uses, Foundation and Opensea, and the pros and cons of both. It’s one thing to read about NFTs in the news and it’s another to hear from someone actually working, making a living, and influencing in that space, and it’s wonderful to hear Kristopher share his knowledge and experience.--You can follow Matthew on Twitter and LinkedIn, Diana on Twitter and LinkedIn, and learn more about Unstoppable Domains and our work here.You can follow our guest, Kristopher Shinn, on Twitter and LinkedIn, and you can find links to all his photography here.--Don’t forget to rate, download, and subscribe to the podcast so we can keep producing awesome content for you and you won't miss an episode.

In this episode of The Unstoppable Podcast, we speak with Eva Beylin, Director of The Graph Foundation. She explains how she got into crypto, what led her to Ethereum and The Graph Foundation, what The Graph does and is doing, and what she sees the Foundation doing in the near and medium term. We also chat with Eva about eGirl Capital, of which she is a founding member.Eva speaks about her path into crypto after business school and management consulting for financial services companies. She sees that technology in its current form tends towards monopolization — and crypto is a cure for that. She knows that there are great financial rewards in crypto but is more philosophically involved: she likes the idea of decentralizing power and encouraging more people to participate.Eva also speaks about what The Graph is (“the Google of blockchain,” she says), what its stakeholders are and their roles, and the importance of attracting non-technical people to the project as a whole.In her role at The Graph Foundation, Eva is tasked with growing the ecosystem through grants and governance. She also shares the type of governance currently in use for the Foundation and how that relates to the way The Graph started: a hosted service, not a decentralized network, allowing for a lot of feedback as well as for devs to get used to the technology.We finish by talking about eGirl Capital, one of Eva’s passion projects, of which she is a founding member. It’s a personal outgrowth of what she’s doing at The Graph Foundation, encouraging and curating good projects, but by putting her own skin in the game.--You can follow Diana on Twitter and LinkedIn, and learn more about Unstoppable Domains and our work here.You can follow our guest, Eva Beylin, on Twitter and LinkedIn, and you can check out The Graph Foundation here.--Don’t forget to rate, download, and subscribe to the podcast so we can keep producing awesome content for you and you won't miss an episode.

In this episode of The Unstoppable Podcast, we sit down with Chase Chapman, Co-Founder at Decentology, and talk about everything from what got her into crypto originally, her passion for DAOs, and how those who want to get involved with them can get started. She shares her thoughts on the danger of burnout when working in the crypto space, as well as talking about how companies and social interactions will continue to evolve in an anonymous, time-asynchronous space. Part of what drives Chase (and Decentology) is a desire to make crypto more accessible to people in general. One of the ways she sees this happening is through DAOs. These make it possible for the developers and auditors—the actual community working on a project—to have the freedom of freelancing and with the upside of ownership.It isn’t risk-free, as of course the tokens earned for these projects can swing wildly in value: they’re nothing like a traditional fixed asset or currency.Chase also shares the tip of ‘lurking’—it’s a great way to find out what the vibe is like in a DAO and where you could contribute. She likens it to the real-life equivalent of being able to look at the Slack conversations of a company you are interviewing with.We finish by talking about the social implications of all this developing tech: What are some ways to avoid burnout?How can you build empathy with people whose identities are anonymous?How can IRL events (like retreats) help build your DAO?Will the corporations fall to DAO governance?--You can follow Matthew on Twitter and LinkedIn, Diana on Twitter and LinkedIn, and learn more about Unstoppable Domains and our work here.You can follow our guest, Chase Chapman, on Twitter and LinkedIn, and you can check out her podcast here.--Don’t forget to rate, download, and subscribe to the podcast so we can keep producing awesome content for you and you won't miss an episode.
