Just start. Take the leap and fail fast. Make sure you are trying. From my personal experience, what I have always tried to do is at least give it a go. Don't just die wondering…Georgie and Pam were excited to sit down this week with Vicki Stirling, the CEO of Start-Up Victoria.
It gets pretty exhausting trying to be someone that you're not, so you might as well lean into the person that you are…Georgie and Pam first met Jordan Franklin at the Australian Crypto Convention in the Gold Coast, and her energy and passion for the web3 space is infectious.We thoroughly enjoyed our conversation, and we could have sat down and spoken with Jordan all day.We hope after listening to this you'll feel inspired, uplifted and more curious about web3 and crypto.
In no business have you heard of people buying high and selling higher; it doesn't make sense. If someone is coming into Web3 right now, I would tell them one thing. Join a community, listen, pay attention and stop being selfish.Learn more about the Sisterhood Club: https://www.sisterhoodclub.io/We smiled throughout this entire conversation! No joke, we had to drag this man off a Twitter Space to ensure he arrived on time for our podcast. (this is where you'll often find him).We have so much respect for everything, Fity.Eth has achieved in the Web3 space and continues to build; he is a true inspiration.If you get a chance, check out the videos because we spend the whole podcast speaking to an Ape (very Web3).
Web3 is an opportunity, however, you have to bring what you have to it. People who wake up in the morning and have lost a lot of money (like I have done) the only person responsible for changing that, is you.After first speaking with Pamela Kerr in one of our Twitter Spaces, we knew that we had to get her on the podcast - and it certainly didn't disappoint.We recorded this podcast only days before the FTX saga of last week, but after Pamela lost all of her retirement savings to a scam, this episode couldn't be coming out at a perfect time.
When I started producing content, I was scared of putting (my work) out there because I didn't have the confidence inside of me.

I struggled early on (in my career) to look up and find women I aspired to be like. When I was (at the law firm) there were 40 partners and only 2 of them were women. Even in business today my role is business development and I find it challenging because many of the decision makers I have to deal with are men.Last week we hosted our first Sisterhood Social IRL event. WHAT. A. NIGHT. Full of incredible insights, building friends not connections and belly laughs!Here is what some of our attendees said:“…such an amazing night, what a panel, what amazing women”“…It was one of the best panels I've been able to attend”We are excited to be able to share with you the recording from the night's panel lineup.There were so many golden nuggets from this podcast - we hope you enjoy listening.Want to be the first to know when a new episode drops?

The beauty of Web3 vs Web2 is that Web3 encourages and empowers transparency, it also allows us to scale and create movements in ways that we were often siloed or prevented. Especially women and non-binary people who, not only haven't been given a seat at the table but haven't been given the opportunity to create the impact we've needed.Today we were grateful to sit down with Brian Fanzo who has hugely influenced our Web3 journey so far. Being a father to 3 girls, Fanzo is passionate about creating a future in Web3 that is diverse and inclusive.Want to be the first to know when a new episode drops?

The stigma of money has been fascinating around crypto; if people make too much money, it's talked about, and if people lose money, it's talked about. But the technology backing it all (the blockchain) will create high-impact - specifically anything that requires records; there is currently too much loss and mess-ups.Want to be the first to know when a new episode drops?

"Men own 90% of NFTs, and 81% of crypto is owned by men meaning all the investment coming into web3 feeds their interests.

Juliette Brindak Blake is a Mum of 3 and the Co-Founder of Miss O Cool Girls NFT - celebrating girls and what it means to be a female of the future. How NFTs are creating value-led businesses. "To bring more women and underrepresented groups into the world of Web3, we need to find something they can connect with. ...The more of these projects that come out with values that align with themselves is where the opportunity is for people to get involved."

"(Technology has) been such a bro club the last 15 years, and even more so now, so it's refreshing to see young women like yourself coming into this space. The cost of not doing so is greater than that of doing so. Let's talk about how exciting it is for women right now (to get into the Web3, Metaverse and NFT space)" Today it was an absolute privilege to sit down with Liza Boston, a Web 3.0 Venture Investor, Metaverse Entrepreneur, NFT Artist and Poet.

Why do women only see 2% of VC money? What did Liza learn from rubbing shoulders with many of the tech leaders of Web2? Including Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

Rania Awad is a mother, wife, founder, and successful entrepreneur. Rania spent her first 11 years in a war zone in Lebanon in survival mode. When the moment to leave arrived, she flew to Sydney. Landing in Australia, she couldn't believe it. The first thought in her mind was, "gosh, tonight I'm just going to sleep, and I'm not going to be woken up by the sounds of bullets or bombs." The early years were formative for Rania, and she developed an attitude of "what is the worst that could happen?" Taking risks and dreaming big was something that didn't scare her. At the age of 24, she started a Pharmacy and grew it into a well-respected multi-million dollar business. She created one of the first-ever online pharmacies heading down the exciting e-commerce, technology, and digital path. That business was acquired by Pharmacy-4-less, which she helped to take into the UK, US and China Markets, growing the company from zero to 16 million in 3 years. Rania is now the CEO and founder of Digital Smoothie, a group of passionate creators and problem solvers in marketing, design, process optimisation, plus much more. There are many great takeaways from today's conversation, and we know you will love it! ________________________________________________________________________ Connect with Rania LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/rania-awad-34944343/ Digital Smoothie - https://www.digitalsmoothie.com.au/ ________________________________________________________________________ Join our Sisterhood Club Community in Discord
