Joining us in this rare installment of #thePOZcastLIVE is Heather Parady, Andy Storch and Kevin Logan. Heather Parady is the host of the Community Builders in Web 3.0 podcast. Andy Storch is my OG in the Web3 space, an author, and host of the My NFT Journey podcast. Kevin Logan is a rockstar recruiter and my business partner in Probably Nothing Talent. In this episode, we dig right into the wonderful world of Web3, where to start as a newbie, projects we love, and how this will change the world we live in. This Episode's Heavy-hitter's: NFTs so far are a speculative investment at best and it's too early to know everything there is to know about the space. The best way to get ahead is to educate yourself as much as possible, and then take risks that you're comfortable with. Another safe bet to make is on the people and community. Web2 was much more focused on building a following, but this technology is all about forming credibility with the members of your community. It's important to know what role you want to play within the NFT community. There's so many different roles available– whether it be in creating NFTs, flipping them, being a technologist and so much more. You should be intentional about what fits your needs and interests the most. While Web3 lends itself to learning by doing, there's no right answer on when the right time to get involved is. You should think about your risk and education levels as being inverse, and figure out at what point you feel comfortable enough to jump in head first. Once you do feel educated enough, Kevin suggests that you purchase at least one NFT you feel great about so you can have skin in the game to really learn.

If you're intimidated and overwhelmed by NFTs, but you're also afraid of missing out on the next big thing, you've come to the right place. In today's episode, host Mandy McEwen sits down with powerhouse duo Heather Parady and Rich Cardona, co-hosts of https://www.youtube.com/c/NFTs4Newbies (NFTs for Newbies), the #1 NFT podcast in the world. They started the podcast a few months ago just for fun, as a way to educate others as they learned about NFTs for the first time themselves, and it has absolutely exploded. Not only do they break down non-fungible tokens, crypto, smart contracts, and blockchain technology in the easiest possible terms, they share exciting possibilities for marketers and creatives to utilize this new tech, both as an investment opportunity and a way to integrate it to their businesses. This is one pep talk you don't want to miss. Listen in as Heather and Rich utilize brilliance, humor, transparency, and their powers of persuasion to compel you to get started with NFTs. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: What the business use of a smart contract is for your loyal customers How NFTs decentralize community and eliminate the middleman How to make consistent secondary passive income with NFTs The absolute best (and most simple) place/way to get started with NFTs today LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: https://www.youtube.com/c/NFTs4Newbies (NFTs for Newbies on YouTube) https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nfts-for-newbies/id1581483443 (NFTs for Newbies podcast) https://www.modgirlmarketing.com/ (Mod Girl Marketing) OUR PARTNERS: http://getscalable.com/dm (7 Levels of Scale Workbook) Find out your Leadership Trust Score at https://readytolead.com/ (Ready to Lead).

From getting over an ex to starting a new relationship, we're turning the tables as Yue interview Julie this time around. We're unpacking it all: why dating is so much harder than making friends, knowing when it's time to end a relationship that isn't working, staying friends with an ex (or cutting the cord), starting the podcast, and finding love – on the apps – in the time of Corona.

We're doing something fun! Julie's interviewing Yue to hear how's she's navigated her love life from the time she was dating to now being 3 years into a committed relationship. We talk about it all: turning 40, her love/hate relationship with dating coaching, dating as Asian American woman, dealing with the societal pressure to get married, co-habitating between 2 cities, and playing the long game by dating her partner after knowing him for 7 years before.Follow us @dateablepodcast.
