#045 - Welcome to another episode of Quorum, where we glimpse into the future — uncovering the ideas, technologies, and people that are shaping our decentralized world of tomorrow.

In today’s show I spoke with Sascha Kellert, who leads the organizational design at Ownco - which is a platform that help businesses share ownership with their communities (based on contributions - not just investment).

This was a fascinating conversation, where we discussed: how to incentivize contributors for the long term, why ownership is much more than just sharing equity, what nature tells us about decentralization, and much more.

In today’s show I spoke with Tim Cox, who does Biz Dev and Partnerships at PoolTogether (community savings Defi protocol) and ByWassies (NFT project).

This episodes was a deep dive into a word that is such a part of crypto culture that in some ways it's lost some meaning: Partnerships. Tim breaks down how he views them and how to actually do you job in biz dev.

We also discussed: how to be prepared for partnerships using a SWOT analysis, the power of giving to your community, the prevalence of "ghost partnerships" in Web3, and much more.

In today’s show, Sam and I explore the role of brand collabs in Web3, and we use Sam's upcoming DAO Anthology project (with Metalabel) as an example of how to do it right.

We also discuss the power of curating in a world overflowing with AI-generated content.

More about this episode:

As a creator, working with IndieDAO means getting to collaborate with like minded people from the DAO, and having a lot of the headaches of working on your own taken care of, like: contracts and legal issues, reputation, and payments. 

As a client, IndieDAO has a service arm that provides emerging and value-aligned projects access to their expert design and development teams. If you’re curious about their skills, I recommend you check out their website at IndieDAO.xyz - it’s pretty awesome.

Not only is IndieDAO servicing amazing projects like Pool Suite, Friends with Benefits and more, but they are also working on building their own protocol for companies who want to adopt the same Web3 software that IndieDAO is using to service these clients.

#040 - Welcome to another episode of Quorum, where we believe that contributing to a DAO is the best way to find engaging and rewarding work in the new Web3 economy. 

In today’s show I spoke with Marcus Aurelius, Contributor at KlimaDAO — which is a DAO with a mission to help combat climate change.

On today’s show, we discussed:

• The basics of climate change, carbon markets, and how KlimaDAO is helping build a better future
• The current challenges with today’s antiquated solutions to climate change, and how blockchain solves them 
• And, an inside look at the KlimaDAO culture, including the power of pseudonymity in creating an equal playing field for contributors

More about this episode:

KlimaDAO is an innovative solution using blockchain to make it easier for people who want to reduce the carbon in the environment (to combat climate change) with those on the ground floor who are making the change happen (like people who plant trees for example).

Marcus explained that traditionally, if you’d like to buy a carbon credit (to help offset your carbon emissions) you have to either go to a broker (who might not take you seriously unless you want to buy $100K worth of credits) or you go to a retailer (who can make it more affordable, but come with issues of transparency and trust).

KlimaDAO solves these issues by making it more accessible and transparent to buy carbon credits, and the results is that in only 2 years, they’ve already helped remove over 18 metric tons of carbon from the environment, which is 4% of the overall carbon credits available. That’s crazy!

This was a really exciting conversation. As someone who’s not totally woke to the nuances of climate change, I was so engaged with how KlimaDAO is tackling this problem and also the insane traction they’ve had with their technology.
