Loss to Chargers was a colossal disaster.Spencer Graham discusses the next moves he thinks the Browns will make.
Spencer Graham and Eric Metcalf are joined by Pat Leonard, a New York Daily News reporter and host of Talkin' Ball, to discuss the pressures facing head coach Brian Daboll and quarterback Daniel Jones as they prepare to face the Cleveland Browns. They emphasize the critical aspects of the game, which will be the strong run game, stopping the run on both sides, and the coaching battle between Brian Daboll and Kevin Stefanski to see who can out scheme the other. They also touch on the importance of shutting down Malik Nabers and the connection between Ken Dorsey and Brian Daboll, as Dorsey used to work under Daboll in Buffalo. Eric Metcalf emphasizes that Deshaun Watson is not the same player he once was and needs to focus on playing mistake-free football rather than trying to win the game for the Browns single-handedly.

In this episode, we're speaking with Bethany Crystal about all things fractional work, using AI to improve learning and workflows, and we wrap up with a quick discussion on the Bitcoin developer ecosystem. Bethany is the web3 fractional work queen, and she shares very openly in this episode about her experience as a fractional worker in web3, what her process looks like, and practical tips for others to think outside of the box about how they want to work.As a mother of two and hobbyist of many things, Bethany has had to think creatively about how she can find the best balance for herself to do all the things she wants to do in life. For her, the answer was fractional work, or working on various projects on a contract or part time basis so that she has time for other aspects of life she enjoys and so that she can have her curiosity constantly satisfied with a variety of projects. She talks about some of the pros and cons to being a fractional worker, the types of people she believes are best suited for the job, and gives us practical tips for identifying our core skillsets and finding work. She also shares some of the ways she's been using AI to aid in her workflow and help her learn new skills at a much faster rate as well.Bethany was nominated by DeFi Beats and voted onto the podcast by DeFi Beats, Parker Jay-Pachirat, Birb, Triumph, fifthworldzach, David Phelps, Spencer Graham, Andy Boyan, and Nick Naraghi.

For this bonus episode, I dive into the Anticapture framework by Spencer Graham which professes a taxonomy and structure for creating "capture-resistant governance" for an organization. While the piece itself was meant for DAOs, I think there were some interesting things said in the piece that are very relevant for socialist organizations. The piece also paired well with a book I'm currently reading called Neither Vertical nor Horizontal by Rodrigo Nunes which explores the question of organization in the context of left wing political struggle. I can highly recommend the book.

What Spencer is currently working on: DAO House v3DAO House at its essence is an app. And they are building additional applications on top of the foundational infrastructure to improve the services available at DAO House. There is the potential for new products, businesses, or even applications to operate under DAO House v3. Common Growing Pains of New DAOsPermission list environments are difficult to navigate and it can become impossible to get anything done. From an informational and social perspective, too many people on a DAO without specific priorities and jobs can spiral into chaos quickly. Full decentralization is difficult to achieve and may not be totally possible for DAOs just starting out. New DAOs should keep in mind how they will be practicing decentralization in the future, but you don't have to do that from day one. Spencer's Favorite DAO Running Tools Spencer's favorite tool would be the one he created, Hats Protocol. His tool supports the delegation of responsibility to DAO members. It supports DAOs in creating roles and assigning them to teams, sub-DAOs, or team leaders. Spencer's Favorite DAOsThe WGI DAO is focused on community builders. They are helping DAO-native communities flourish, and they are doing amazing work both within their own DAO and other DAOs. He also uses Smart Invoice which serves as a third-party billing and contract system for web3 clients.

Welcome back to Crypto Sapiens. Today we are talking with Spencer Graham, aka spengrah. He is an early builder of DAOHaus, the no-code platform for creating and managing a DAO. We kick off our conversation with him sharing his crypto journey starting in late 2016, ramping up in 2017, and in 2018 co-hosting the Chicago Ethereum meetup. In 2020 he attended ETH Denver, an inflexion point in his career. Leading him to join Raid Guild. He describes joining DAOHaus, or pokemol (short for pocket Moloch) as it was called at the time, a mobile-first moloch DAO app that provided a no-code way for people to discover and create proposals, view treasuries, and summon a DAO. Eventually, a handful of people including himself developed the app into DAOHaus v2, which is the app we can all use today. We continue our chat by reviewing the DAOHaus platform and the many features that provide a rich and nuanced experience for DAO operators and members. There is a lot to unpack in this episode. I truly enjoyed my chat with Spencer, and I hope you did too.

On this Episode of Rehash: a web3 podcast, we sat down with Spencer Graham, product contributor at DAOhaus.Spencer was nominated by JP (@jonathanprozzi) and some of the questions asked in this episode were submitted by DAO member Carsten Pötter (@carstenpoetter).With a background in economics and psychology, Spencer became increasingly interested in web3 when he began to understand how it could transform complex systems like healthcare and investing. He also has a great love for burritos, which just so happen to provide a useful model for creating healthy, balanced organizations.Aside from discussing burritos, we talk about other useful principles and models for DAOs, some mistakes they should avoid, and dive into the tricky process of decentralizing. Spencer also explains the idea of capture-resistant governance which leads us to touch on power struggles, resource management, contributor incentivization, hierarchies, and the potential of web3 to replace traditional top-down systems with flatter networks.To continue this conversation and stay up to date on all things Rehash, you can follow Diana on Twitter @ddwchen and Rehash @rehashweb3.

We talk about practical decision-making, governance, money transfers from a central treasury to pay for services, management and accountability for DAOs operators and contractors, “on-chain” vs. “off-chain” considerations, and legal/tax/regulatory concerns.Visit https://satchel.works/@wclittle/ventures-episode-73 for detailed notes and links to resources (videos, articles, etc…) mentioned. You can watch this episode via video here. 2:04 - tee-up, definitions, and motivation for this conversation on how/why to start a DAO in general, and this Web3 PM training DAO in particular.4:25 - Spencer's quick introduction and experience working in the DAO space. (Raid Guild and DAOHaus)5:11 - Setting the stage for where this DAO is at, and where we should go next. Asking ourselves the question: “Is this the appropriate time to form an on-chain DAO?” // Starting with “why” and “what”7:00 - The reason to form a DAO is to take collective action with common resources.9:12 - What's stopping us from just doing this internally? Vote on discord, etc… What is the warrant to move this on-chain? 11:30 - Will has been a founder in many companies and been the person to lead the charge, open the bank account, etc... and is interested in doing this training organization a different week.12:14 - What is the currency that would be in our treasury if we formed a DAO w/ DAOHaus?12:32 - We vote on things on-chain, proposals pass, etc… how do funds get transferred? How do we have accountability that passed proposals translate to actual funds?15:08 - Question: in a traditional org there is a power dynamic where the founders control everything….how is this different in a DAO? What is fundamentally different w/ DAOs and Smart Contracts?18:37 - Off-chain vs. on-chain visual metaphor comparing DAO proposals/voting to writing and pushing code -- i.e. commits vs. pushing those commits to a central repository.21:04 - “If I'm a teacher in the DAO, I'm going to need to trust that my payment is coming to me….am I going to get nervous about it” // There are other ways to setup compensation. What is a best-practice way to pay someone who is contributing value to a DAO? “Streaming” funds to people (Super Fluid), or setting aside funds to pay someone. 22:56 - Considerations about how to practically keep performance accountability and payment movement...to keep operations moving within a DAO. Limit a smart contract so that funds either go back to DAO or to a specific address via a smart contract. Approve a few 24:39 - Regulatory, legal, & tax concerns…. questions for local government jurisdictions. Talking about employment collectives. E.g. Opolis (https://opolis.co/) ← simplifies tax issues and limits liability.26:30 - Nuts and bolts about the legal and tax issues. (referring back to Opolis)28:00 - Priya introduction and question about practical voting, voting fatigue, etc… what kind of use-case would be applicable for a DAO vs. traditional organization.31:00 - Examples of cases when DAOs are not appropriate.32:24 - Round-table, quick takeaways from this episode / conversation. Treasury management, regulatory, and storytelling.

In this episode of Ventures, we pull a clip from Episode 18 with Spencer Graham (https://twitter.com/spengrah) and Tony Little (https://twitter.com/DrTonyLittle) where we talk about Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI), Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), and “scaling trust” in the Web 3.0 era. What is urgently needed in the Web 3 community is product managers; i.e. people who can understand how to build great experiences using the applicable Web 3 tools/capabilities/paradigms. These product managers can then build companies of their own, join new companies as co-founders, or consult for existing companies to help usher in a compelling decentralized future for us all.Visit https://satchel.works/@wclittle/ventures-episode-64 for detailed notes and links to resources (videos, articles, etc…) mentioned.
