The three men from Cheshire finally arrive in Lincoln. They confront Mr. Farnum about the danger they had to face. Rather than make their ordeal a waste of time, they renegotiate a deal -- one day of labor for a trailer full of wood. Farnum suggests that they might wish to revisit the original terms at the end of the day. The Hendrick brothers repair broken drag saws and create new rail spacers. While Tyler still thinks the railroad scheme is all a scam, the evidence of all the other people working argues that it is legit. Will they work another day for 5%, or will they go with just a trailer full of wood?   Monthly members at Buy Me A Coffee, and patrons on Patreon, already know what happens next.

On this episode of Rehash, we're speaking with Julia Lipton, Founder and General Partner at Awesome People Ventures, about unlocking latent potential in humans, finding product market fit in web3 communities, and the most important things happening in the global landscape right now.In many ways it's surprising that it took us until Season 7 to bring Julia on the podcast because she has actually played a part in Rehash from Day 0 as you'll hear us talk about at the beginning of this episode. Julia is an investor, connector of people, and all around one of the kindest and most generous humans I've encountered in this space.In this episode we start out by talking about DAO Masters, a project she crowdfunded through Mirror that ended up winding down last summer, and what she learned about the give-get equation through her experience there. She wrote a really thoughtful Twitter thread about the give-get equation that I've linked in the show notes and would encourage you all to check out, especially if you're someone working in or adjacent to the DAO ecosystem.We then get into a discussion around why there's so much latent and unused human talent floating around in the corporate world and what people have been doing about it, such as flocking to freelance and contract work, or even to DAOs. Obviously DAOs aren't perfect and are far from it, but Julia shares some strategies she thinks could be implemented for DAOs to be more effective in their operations while maintaining the same draw they have for people today.Finally, we talk about what Julia is most focused on in the global landscape with crypto and nintynick chimes in with a question about progressive decentralization. COLLECT THIS EPISODEhttps://www.rehashweb3.xyz/ FOLLOW USRehash: https://twitter.com/rehashweb3Diana: https://twitter.com/ddwchenJulia: https://twitter.com/JuliaLiptonAwesome People Ventures: https://twitter.com/awesomepeoplehq LINKSGive/get equation TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro3:10 Julia's involvement with Rehash from Day 04:34 Why DAO Masters shut down10:29 Communities as products17:04 Why human talent is so underutilized in corporate world22:25 What v2 of DAOs might look like26:46 Awesome People Ventures and Awesome People Talent31:31 Global landscape for freelancers32:23 Development of global currencies37:15 Types of projects Julia is focused on in 202439:45 Progressive decentralization42:25 BTC/ETH ATH 202443:17 Follow Julia DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.

 In this episode, special guest Dana Hagemann shares a candid conversation about her unique journey to entrepreneurship - from her first solo corporate retreat in a cabin in the woods, to her #summerofdreams, to how she found work and built a thriving business. Through her passion for asking questions and meeting new people, Dana was led to a career in journalism. In 2021, she started her own business as a PR and digital marketing consultant, where she's exercising more creative freedom, professional growth, and of course, balance in her life.  Dana's thoughts on taking the leap: “My goal was to volunteer for organizations and build a portfolio out of my skillset, I wanted to work with nonprofits and mission-backed startups, and I figured what better way to do that than work on a volunteer board. And this led to a recurring client that I'm working with to this day. If you have the space to volunteer - definitely set a boundary around that - you will get something out of it, at the very least learning about the people you want to work with and the work you want to do.” Discussed in this episode: How Dana discovered that entrepreneurship was really right for her - and what the #summerofdreams was all about How your past career doesn't have to be what you build your business around How to financially plan for taking the leap, and what parameters to consider putting around her journey How to find supplemental income if you need it (and why it's OK to need that supplemental income!) Why following your curiosity can help you find your path Why a realistic plan is so important for your mindset and your success   Resources:  More from Dana: Book Recommendation: The E-Myth by Michael Gerber More about Dana's company: https://cureomedia.com/ Connect with Dana on  Twitter: https://twitter.com/dana_hagemann LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dana-hagemann-55138420/ More from Ann and Cortney Be sure to sign up for our newsletter to get episode updates and exclusive tips and tricks that we share on our other channels!

Hello and welcome! I'm Renata Bernarde, the Host of The Job Hunting Podcast. I'm also a virtual career coach, job hunting expert, and career strategist. I teach professionals in the corporate, non-profit, and public sectors the steps and frameworks to help them find great jobs, change, and advance their careers with confidence and less stress.  If you are an ambitious professional who is keen to develop a robust career plan, above and beyond this COVID-19 situation, who is looking to find your next job or promotion, or you want to keep a finger on the pulse of the job market, so that when you ready and an opportunity arises, you can hit the ground running – then this podcast is for you. In addition to The Job Hunting Podcast, I have created a series of free tools and resources, I run weekly free live coaching sessions, Job Hunting Made Simple online course, and the coaching I do to my private clients. So there is really no excuse – I'm determined to help you! I want you to feel empowered, nail your next job, and have the career you want.   Episode Show Notes  If you could make a cartoon of me during my first meeting with Jacinta Whelan, this is what it would like: me listening intently, with ears twice the size of my body! That day I walked out of our meeting, found a quiet cafe, and wrote down everything I could remember about what she said. The next day, I had a newly designed resume, based on her feedback. And a year later, when she hired me and we worked together for 2 months, it was the same: I listened and learned a lot! So this is why I wanted to have Jacinta at this point in time as a guest of the podcast. We timed it, I planned it, so that we could have this exact conversation, right now. It gave her time to re-adjust to the new COVID job market situation and be able to get back to us with the best possible intelligence. Jacinta is a Partner at Watermark Search International, a recruitment firm specialized in C-level and senior executive appointments. Watermark's parent company, Ambition, is a listed Australian company with recruitment offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, London, Hong Kong, and Singapore, and they cater to recruitment needs from admin support to mid-management. Jacinta is an expert in the gig economy, portfolio career strategies, and interim executive contract work. We discuss how and if contract work can suit us at the moment, and if the gig economy will be the way we work in the future.

Brian and Ike discuss the practicalities of how to get a company off the ground and rolling. If you're looking for work-for-hire, then this episode provides some useful ways to obtain client work and how to build up your business development. Today's Developer Diary Ike is back! He is fresh after working at iD Tech Summer Camp where he taught high school students game design. It was fun to show them how to make games and by the time they left the camp in two weeks they had their own prototype working on their own phones. Ike also rang his "game release" bell! Puzzlin' Pieces: USA is now available on iTunes, Android and Amazon. His daughter helped develop this new game about learning about US geography. If there's any Windows 8 Microsoft people listening, please reach out to Ike. He wants to release the game for Windows, but keeps on hitting road blocks. So, if anyone can help please reach out to Ike! Brian just got back from Seattle! After doing his very first talk at Unite 2014 -  High End Mobile Development - highlighting his game Gates of Osiris. During the talk he spilled some tips and tricks on how they're going about the art of the game, a lot of the effects and how they're building the terrain. Was what really awesome was during his introduction when he mentioned he was a co-host of the Game Design Dojo, people clapped! And people also clapped when he mentioned their responsible for the Tuscany World Demo for Oculus VR. Our listener Vinny came up and talked with Brian. Thanks Vinny so much for coming out to the talk! Contact Work/Work For Hire The secret to Fenix Fire's longevity has been balancing work-for-hire with their own IP. Brian has been an indie for the past eight years and was in AAA for the previous six years. So, he's actually been an indie longer than he's been in the friendly confines of being an employee. He owes this primarily to work-for-hire by getting good contracts and doing good business development. General Thoughts About Work For Hire: It's a balancing act - you don't have control over your clients needs and timetables and you'll have to work around their deadlines as opposed to yours Repeat business - is the most efficient way to get get more contract work Making your own games - can yield a lot of opportunities Have at least one game shipped - really important and brings credibility Where do you begin to try to get Work For Hire? For the purposes of this episode, Brian and Ike use the scenario of a start-up company either with a team of 2-3 or a lone wolf who has all the skills needed to make a game. So, how would you go out and start landing a steady stream of clients for full service game development? Approach #1 - Try doing pro-bono work Go to a bigger company and offer to make a game for them for free. You'll make the game for them, they'll share their IP and you'll market it. If you have the ability to pull this off: You'll be getting a game on the shelf to then go and show other people When you go to those other people, you're showing the work you did for a big company You might actually get numbers because that big company is going to be able to do a lot of marketing This is something that's recommended to do for your first project, you shouldn't do it more than once. But it's a great way to get your name out there and to build some credibility. Approach #2 - Make your own IP Coming up with your own IP and putting it out there does yield opportunities. Brian has had experience of this first hand when he released his game Roboto. Approach #3 - Target a category of companies Once you've targeted a category of companies that you're interested in, come up with a prototype or a demo that they can play on the device that you ultimately want to launch it on and show it to them using their brand. When they see it playing in the device, it will make it a much easier sell for them. Make sure it's something that you can expand upon yours...
