My guest on today's episode of the Somi Arian Podcast is Allyson Downey, the CEO of Stellar, and Co-Founder of Meta Angels, an NFT membership community harnessing the metaverse to unlock real-life opportunities, founded on the values of generosity, transparency, and accessibility. They have a great business model and I think you will really enjoy learning about it.
Times are rough out there in the NFT market. But Meta Angels are serious builders who create unique experiences for their holders. It starts with direct dialogue with community members in the “wishing well.” It leads to launches like Angel Labs, a 10-week accelerator for experienced operators launching NFT-enabled businesses. And it includes dropping their own marketplace for their collection. This is the kind of team and the kind of Web3 ecosystem that helps us cut through the fog of this bear market to a not-so-distant future of growth and development. There's no question the market is at a serious low. But, speaking with Real Vision's Elaine Ly, co-founder Allyson Downey and Sarana Haeta (who works under the artist name Aslan Ruby) say investing in NFTs takes a long-term view. “This is an incredibly volatile space,” notes Downey. “You can't be in it if you don't have a strong stomach."

We have too many opinions to keep to ourselves! That is, we have too many questions and we'd like to answer more of them, so that's why you're getting Opinion Overflow. Whether you want it or not. Bonus 1: Listener Sara recommends "Here's the Plan" by Allyson Downey for new or expecting working mothers (in response to Listener Laura in this Monday's episode). Bonus 2: Listener Paige (from Overflow #5) has an update for us! And finally, Listener Lacey asks: I’m sort of at the point in my life where I’ve been questioning if there’s more out there for me or not. I have lived in North Dakota my whole life and all of my close family is here. I’m going to school online and working full time at a job I don’t love. However, I love all of my coworkers and that’s kind of a big deal. I’ve never been married nor do I have kids but I do have a dog. Would it be irresponsible of me to pack up and move a few states away without a job or place to live? I’m finding it hard to get a job and apartment where I don’t currently live. I’ve always been a big nature girl and would love to live by the mountains or ocean. I would hate to move and end up homeless or blow all of my savings. I guess I’m at a crossroads with this!
