This episode is for coaches, consultants, authors, speakers and niche service providers who want to learn about how you can utilize Web 3.0 in your business, to grow your following and to create loyal fans who love and support you.    By now you've heard of Web 3.0, NFTs, and blockchain, but you're still unsure of how to use, create or overall tap-into these technologies for your coaching, consulting, writing, speaking or creating business. On this week's show my friend Brian Fanzo returns to help you understand NFTs and how these digital currencies can further your business and movement.    In the past we've spoken of using NFTs as a currency for clients who hold your coin to gain exclusive access to content, trips, and access to you! In today's podcast we start there, but take our conversation further as Brian guides our thinking to a much broader and more important (in my opinion) consideration. We dive into how your long time super fans can truly be part of the change and movement you're creating, by holding your NFT and thereby investing in the future of your business. These concepts are new to most, but in this show we start with the basics and end with the ideals of how you can get started in Web 3.0 for your coaching, consulting or creator economy business too. Brian also walks us through his journey creating the $ADHD Coin and the realities of his learning process that lead to even greater consideration for the Coins potential than what he originally expected.    For the show notes, visit https://sweetlifepodcast.com/279
