Corey sits down with Simona Pop: PG Steward ENS, Gov Advisor Element, Gov Advisor Optimism, for a Personals episode.
Simona Pop has been involved with the Ethereum community and DAOs since the early days and recalls the levels of enthusiasm and energy that made her get involved into many different projects in the ecosystem among which are co-founding Bounties Network and organizing Schelling Point, a unconference around coordination, regenerative economics and DeSci. She's currently the Metagovernance Steward at ENS DAO - among other things. Some of the topics: Bounties Network Interoperability vs personal interest Biggest lessons over the years Creating initiation experiences Kernel mentorship Schelling Point & lessons learned Unconferences Biomimicry DAOs' biggest problems Standardization & framework for DAOs Her project, Bounties Network, was about building a bounties platform as a protocol - interoperable. It was also possibly the first Web3 project incentivizing regeneration in the real world by putting bounties on things like beach cleanups. One of the constraints she encountered was the mentality of ownership over collective interests, which complicates the move towards interoperability. A mindset that must go through a process of unlearning to prioritize collaboration, one of her key takeaways from her years in the space. If you've been following Simona on twitter, you might have noticed she likes looking at collaboration & decentralization through the lens of biomimicry, which aims to emulate nature's processes, forms and ecosystems from the awareness that we as humans are part of a greater network. In this sense she proposes standardization in DAO frameworks & communications, which would be a baseline and a soil ready for planting that also allows navigation easily and that would organize the circuit of information, resource and decision making.

This episode takes place in the geographical heart of Layer Zero: the middle of DevConnect, the 2022 Amsterdam conference. With the backdrop of a lively conference center, Simona Pop explores heavy topics like the 1989 Romanian Revolution and the pitfalls of DAO governance. When you cut off the head of top-down totalitarianism, you must replace it with something better—otherwise, another hydra head will appear. Simona thrives on the cutting edge of big problems like these, working on DAO Engagement Strategy at Gitcoin, Community Strategy at Status, and founding the Bounties Network. When Simona talks about crypto and the Web3 space, the epic proportions of this moment in history become clear and present. ------

In this takeover episode, recorded on Juneteenth, we chat personal tokens in Ethereum and their implications against a broader backdrop of slavery, control and the negative aspects of imbuing humans with attributes we reserve for property. Our guest is Elizabeth Renieris, an entrepreneurial attorney, policy advisor, and strategic consultant passionate about the impact of emerging technologies on privacy, identity, civil society, and collective consciousness. Our conversation tackles the more malign areas of experimentation and the imperative need for broader diversity in perspectives and view points if we want to continue progressing vs regressing. We ran out of time quickly so let me know if you'd be up for the sequel. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/metagame/message
Today we are joined by Simona Pop, Head of Marketing & Community for The Bounties Network. This network created and uses the Bounties protocol, which enables users to create tasks across any vertical business. The user pays in ETH or any ERC20 token in order to incentivize behaviour. The protocol allows people to impart change in global communities and shift cultural norms all together. Some use cases of Bounties Network include broadening access to blockchain for people with non-technical backgrounds and for non-English speakers, cleaning up oceans and providing free education. Simona is passionate about using blockchain to strengthen a global sense of community. She discusses how blockchain is so much more than an investing tool; she believes the technology can change our world. She wraps up by encouraging listeners to contact her with social impact suggestions and sharing some advice about blockchain. Topics covered: - How Simona discovered crypto and started the Bounties Network. - Use cases for the Bounties Network, both live and hypothetical. - The technological barrier to blockchain. - Incentivizing and organizing actions. - Changing the current lack of sense of community in the world. - Blockchain’s ability to level the playing field. - Challenges facing the Bounties Network. - Rewarding people for getting educated. - The Bounties for the Oceans campaign. - Examples of ideas for the Bounties Network.

Today Buyers Meeting Point welcomes Simona Pop as our guest. Simona is the Head of Partnership and Global Communication at InstaSupply. She has held roles in sales, marketing, and event planning and she is an author and speaker for WeRSM, one of the largest independent websites dedicated to social media. In 2016 she was selected as the winner of the Virgin Disruptor challenge for her desire to disrupt P2P. Simona recently had a guest post placement on Spend Matters titled, “In Business Relationships, It’s All about H2H (Human to Human)”. In this podcast, we discuss her article along the following lines: There is no real B2B/B2C divide, but rather a consistent need for strong, healthy human relationships able to fuel success in complex businesses.One of the relationships that deserves attention is procurement's relationship with tech, described by Simona in the post as evoking “distinct feelings of inertia and unease".Given the fact that human bonds are just as critical in commerce as they are in community, shared values become foundational, and should play a much larger role than they often do today.
Simona Pop is a shareholder and head of partnerships & communication for a SaaS startup, InstaSupply. The company operates in the finance and procurement areas of B2B with the focus of changing the way we work through digitization and the removal of redundant manual processes. Simona's goal is to bring B2B in line with B2C across technology and communication. Way too many people go to work and have to leave the efficiencies they know and love in their personal lives at the office door. It's currently like 1999 but without Prince or a party! Show notes at http://hellotechpros.com/simona-pop-entrepreneurship/ Key Takeaways Why are we leading dual lives of super techies in personal life and then vintage tech at work? The core idea of entrepreneurship is "Let's make things better." To remain competitve, businesses need to adapt. There is no way to maintain the King of the Jungle status without changing. Enterprise software feels like something frozen in time. The user experiences are not keeping up with what consumers demand. Implementing new technology in the past was more of a Frankenstein effort of independent solutions and not a holistic solution where everything communicates together. Users are logging in and out of 10 different solutions for 8 different tasks. Administrators are spending all day Monday through Wednesday just doing the repetitive tasks. Finance and operations are slow to change processes. Millennials in the workplace accelerates the adoption of modern technology. We need to have a transition tech in the workplace to bridge the gap between millennials and the X Gen and Baby Boomers. We still have a great abundance of paper and spend time, money and resources driving trucks around delivering paper. The network effect of Purchase to Pay is bringing together buyers and suppliers. Think about working smarter and how that will affect your future plans.
