One of the leading female voices in the space is Bec Smouha, an entrepreneur and founder of SuperBabesNFT club, a crypto-centred community made by women for women, based in Sydney, Australia. After initially having no interest in investing, Bec’s boyfriend introduced her to the world of crypto and unlocked an entirely new world of opportunity. Now, Bec believes it's her duty to help empower and "gently guide" other women into the space.

Coming from a background in journalism and fashion, Bec transitioned into understanding the blockchain after seeing the power it can have on the transparency throughout the clothing supply chain.

Bec understands the benefits of getting into (the web3) space early - "it's an empowering place. Once you get here, you're inspired to be the best version of yourself."

“Web2 is what can I get, web3 is what can I give”

This was a common theme and what drove the idea of SuperBabes NFT Club. "For someone who loves giving, that's what brings me joy and to see people become the best version of themselves."

Bec likes to do things called "getting out of your comfort zone" and believes that's where we can reach our true potential because that's where all of the great things have happened for her.

"Although we are in a bear market, now is the best time to jump in."

We couldn't agree more. We hope you enjoy today's episode.

Here are a few questions and topics we spoke about:

7:50 - What are the main goals of Superbabes and the main ways you're looking to give back?

12:45 - How are you overcoming obstacles to help more women enter Web3?

15:30 - Can you explain the importance of digital ownership and why we can't just screenshot a jpeg?

18:30 - What would you say to any females sitting on the fence regarding web3, investing, and NFTs?

25:05 - Have you got a favourite project you have invested in that you love the utility behind.

29:00 - How do you look after your health with everything you have going on in Web3?

"A lack of visibility of women, non-binary, BIPOC or LGBTQIA+ people leads to a reproduction of internalised discrimination. If you aren't visible, you won't be represented. If you aren't represented, you do not exist."

Dajana has transitions from a web2 communication specialist to "I'm willing to learn everything I need to know to create an inclusive web3".

She highly believes in the shift from brand to community, ultimately building to ownership culture and decentralisation of data.

Before Web3, Dajana was in the Motor industry, where she experienced sexism every day, even though she didn’t have a word for it providing her with the fuel and passion to create change today!

Dajana, like all of us, started by not understanding what blockchain means. But the more she learned, the more she realised we could create real equality.

"Don't worry about this bear market because I'm a true believer that women will be the next bull market."

Dajana has seen a huge shift in women starting to connect, “It's not the lure of money but a chance to change something; In Web3 we don't have these elbow techniques.”

Like most early females into Web3, Dajana wasn’t a pleasant one.

“I had these experiences in Discord where men told me that I'm in the wrong place and that I should go back to playing Barbies and cooking in the kitchen. No one would help answer my “stupid questions.”

However, our conversation with Dajana was an enjoyable one. We spoke about:

💜 What is a DOA

💜 How Dajana is bringing more Women into Web3 through her educational content

💜 The issues in diversity - not just in Web3.

💜 How blockchain can change the future.

💜 What does “ownership culture” mean?

Plus a whole lot more.

We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did.

Jessica Brodkin is the co-founder and creative director of the Mystical Muses NFT project. She is an MIT and Johns Hopkins graduate who worked at the CIA for eleven years before becoming a stand-up comedian and reiki healer in New York City. Her work has been featured in the NYPost, CNBC, SiriusXM, AMC, and TruTV.

In today's episode, we discussed what Web3 would do for the content creators and how to be early in the revolution before it cascades.

"We are at the ground level. NFTs are opening doors for creators and artists to innovate. It has been phenomenal to see."

We also mentioned some of the greater possibilities of NFTs to solve the world's problems. For example, every Mystical Muses NFT sold removes .2 tons of carbon from our atmosphere with the help of Nori, a carbon removal marketplace.

Jessica believes NFTs have many use cases, including ownership, membership, music and beyond just physical art. 

We all agree that we want to see as many women grabbing seats at the table to create a web3 that is safe.

Jessica believes that some of the barriers to entry are:

👉 Systemic

👉 Having the confidence to ask!

We hope you enjoy today's episode and check out a couple of resources mentioned:

[📚 Book] Spirit hacking - Shaman Durek

[🌠 NFT Marketplace] https://nori.com/ - Carbon removal marketplace

“Currently, there are nearly 500,000 women over the age of 45 in Australia facing homeless. If you’re a single mother who rents, there is a 65% chance you will become homeless in your lifetime”

Want to be the first to know when a new episode drops? 👇

Hey SHC Community,

Welcome to this week’s episode with Amy Efstathis on the Sisterhood Club Podcast. Amy is the Partnerships and Fundraising Manager for Code Like a Girl.

Code Like a Girl is a collective of women who found each other through a love of code. And the more women in tech they meet, the more women in tech they think there should be. But with only 16%* of technologists being women, they've come up short. That's why Code Like a Girl's social enterprise is on a mission to introduce women of all ages and backgrounds to code, confident that they'll love it as much as we do.

Amy is a passionate advocate for women and women's equity. Helping women to be the best people they can be and to have a say in their own lives.

She's been working for cause-related organisations for 15 years and when Code Like a Girl advertised the Fundraising and Partnerships Manager role, she jumped at it, knowing she was getting to work with "inspirational women every day."

Amy’s passion is driven by the following:

* Staggering statistics around women getting left behind (across all areas)

* The fact that half a million women in Australia over the age of 45 are facing homelessness.

“If you're a single mother who rents and works part-time, there is a 65% chance that you will become homeless in your lifetime.”

In the podcast, Amy explains that this is due to a myriad of reasons, including;

* Women making certain career choices

* Unaffordable housing

* Superannuation

* Putting care of others before themselves

“Women have systemically been excluded from careers like technology, but this is where people's incomes are growing substantially and significantly.

"In technology, we need to fill 60,000 roles per year for the next few years. With only 7,000 people coming out of University each year, there is a massive gap in the market. Technology is a future-proof career to help women solidify their future economic state and ensure lifelong financial stability. However, we don't go into it because we're told: it's for boys, and it's entirely not".

The Technology industry is growing so fast that we have a talent drought; organisations are becoming more intelligent, more flexible and welcoming to women and diverse individuals because they realise it needs a more diverse talent pool.

The reason girls don't often move into technology is that caring is a traditionally feminine trait. “After all, little girls want to be someone - they fall into care careers because their first role model is usually their mothers or carers.” Little girls embody the people they see around them in their play because it's usually their mother, grandmother and Aunties.

Recent advice from more prominent technology companies like AWS, ANZ, 99 Designs, and EY has said that "skills aren't as important as an attitude - but having the attitude of a lifelong learner is."

We finish the podcast by discussing the money that having a career in technology can provide.

"We get to live a life by our design if money isn't an issue - money gives us power and control over our own lives."

Our conversation on today's podcast was full of great topics and questions, including:

💜 What are the main barriers of entry to technology for women to enter technology jobs?

💜 What can mothers do if they have young girls to get them curious about coding?

💜 Why women don't need to be a "coder" to have a job in technology.

💜 What can businesses be doing to attract more females into technology?

💜 Advice for women looking for a new challenge or a career move into technology.

We hope you enjoy today’s episode as much as we did.

"Men own 90% of NFTs, and 81% of crypto is owned by men meaning all the investment coming into web3 feeds their interests. We need women to come in so that capital can go towards building things that women care about, NFTs for fashion, travel, beauty, family and health."

Michelle is the Co-Founder and CEO of Mavion;

A web3.0 solution delivering an endless flow of scarcity and authenticity through its unique platform that fully integrates and certifies physical and digital goods.

It's a first of its kind fashion NFT that combines physical fashion accessories such as earrings, rings, necklaces and bags with digital assets—driving revenue for both the NFT holders and independent designers.

Michelle is an incredible entrepreneur, having founded multiple businesses, including Accessory Junkie and WAGMI NFT.

Michelle was also one of the founding members of MyBFF, a very successful, sold-out NFT project.

We had absolute fun speaking with Michelle in today's episode, and we know you will get many takeaways from it.

The main highlights:

💜 Creating generational wealth using NFTs

💜 How can women get ahead when working, studying or caring for a family member?

💜 Why IRL (in real life) events create a safe space for women to explore web3 and NFTs further.

💜 How NFTs will be integrated into our lives.

💜 The difference between NFTs (Non-fungible Tokens) and SBTs (Soul-Bound Tokens)

💜 How technology opens up greater future opportunities for women.

💜 How we can compensate people without prejudice.

💜 Advice for people wanting to start a project.

Casey Iola is a Business, Instagram Coach and one of our incredible educators on the Sisterhood School.

 

Her course Instagram for Business Academy has helped small business owners set themselves location and financially free by building an online income using Instagram.

 

On today's episode of the Sisterhood Club NFT podcast, we discussed:

 

• How Casey originally got into coaching and what holds women back from pursuing their dreams.
• How Casey's life has changed since starting an online business
• How Casey's course has impacted both Georgie and Pam already.
• What interested Casey about being a part of the Sisterhood Club
• Instagram's announcement of launching NFTs

 

💜About Casey💜

 

 

Before the start of 2020, Casey was working on cruise ships, travelling the world, and having a ball!

 

 

And then, the pandemic hit, and she had to return to Australia jobless and broke.

 

 

The idea of getting sucked back into a 9-5 job and not being able to travel terrified her! Casey knew she had to build a business online to have the freedom to go where she wanted, whenever she wanted, once it was safe to do so, of course. 

 

 

So, during the lockdown, Casey spent hundreds of hours, and she means hundreds, learning everything she could about online businesses and how to use social media to grow a business online.

 

 

Not to mention the tens of thousands of dollars Casey spent on coaching, courses, personal development and sales training.

 

 

After months of learning, trial and error, successes, failures, tears and celebrations, she built my coaching business from the ground to 6 figures using only one platform...Instagram!

 

 

Eight months after starting her business, Casey bought and built my dream Mercedes van and spent the next few months travelling Australia in my home on wheels!

 

 

Two years in and she travels and lives between California, USA and Australia while teaching other businesses owners how to build their thriving businesses on Instagram 

 

 

Casey has put together this Instagram For Business Academy to share everything she has learned on Instagram to save you time, a huge learning curve, a lot of stress & confusion, and to help you fast track your results to hit your goals, whatever they may be.

 

 

And to mention again, we are incredibly fortunate that Casey's course is a part of the Sisterhood School.

 

 

By owning a Sister NFT, you will also access Casey's course.

Thousands worldwide have used my Money School courses to liberate themselves from debt, start saving and investing, and raise financially capable kids. We are incredibly excited to announce that Money School courses will be included in the Sisterhood School.

 

Money School is also the title of Lacey's non-fiction book, out with Penguin Life.

Lacey is also the winner of a 2019 Business News '40 under 40' Award.

 

Having financial independence makes Lacey "time rich" so that she now chooses how she spends her time. We are grateful to be speaking with her today.

 

Here is a part of what we discussed and asked Lacey today:

 

• How both of Lacey's parents were role models when it came to her finances 
• How can people be aware of the marketing and ensure we make the right decisions to move us forward and not get stuck or even fall into debt?
• How can financial stress play a crucial role in our IQ resulting in worse career and relationship choices?

 

"When we feel poor, we make bad decisions, and often those decisions keep us poor."

 

• What is a "mini-retirement" and what it can mean for young people."
• How do people begin the plan of starting a mini-retirement?
• What is your hope for the women going through Money School as a part of the Sisterhood Club?
• What are the three rules of Money School, and how are all the rules included within the Sisterhood School?
• Why we shouldn't be ignoring Cryptocurrency and the power of Blockchain technology.

Juliette Brindak Blake is a Mum of 3 and the Co-Founder of Miss O Cool Girls NFT - celebrating girls and what it means to be a female of the future.

 

How NFTs are creating value-led businesses.

 

"To bring more women and underrepresented groups into the world of Web3, we need to find something they can connect with.

 

...The more of these projects that come out with values that align with themselves is where the opportunity is for people to get involved."

 

About Miss O Cool Girls

 

The Miss O Cool Girls are a series of 10,000 randomly generated NFTs. Inspired by drawings Juliette Brindak Blake did when she was 10 and illustrated by co-founder Hermine Brindak, a mother-daughter duo, the Miss O Cool Girls celebrate that there is no one definition of what it means to be a girl. Featuring unique and diverse traits of young teen girls – acne, braces, gap teeth – the mission is to empower and build self-esteem in girls to offset how current media and social media consumption lead to toxic bullying and trolling and negative role models.

 

The rarest girls have the realest traits, and we love them so much for that.

 

Just a little bit of our conversation topics today:

 

2:05 - Backstory to Miss O Cool girls
5:40 - When did you identify how NFTs could elevate your business
10:10 - Building the Miss O Cool Girls community
15:00 - Starting an NFT business as a Mum
20:44 - What are the barriers to entry into Web3 for women?
24:30 - What does Web3 look like 12 months from now?
28:05 - How is Miss O Cool Girls building for the future?

"(Technology has) been such a bro club the last 15 years, and even more so now, so it's refreshing to see young women like yourself coming into this space. The cost of not doing so is greater than that of doing so. Let's talk about how exciting it is for women right now (to get into the Web3, Metaverse and NFT space)"

 

Today it was an absolute privilege to sit down with Liza Boston, a Web 3.0 Venture Investor, Metaverse Entrepreneur, NFT Artist and Poet.

 

We discussed the importance of why we need to encourage more women to enter the world of web3 and how she feels just as passionate and energised as she did at the beginning of Web 2.0

 

Here is a snapshot of what we spoke about in today's episode: 

 

• How can we encourage more young women into the world of technology.
• Why do women only see 2% of VC money?
• What did Liza learn from rubbing shoulders with many of the tech leaders of Web2? Including Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
• How does Liza explain the Metaverse, Web3 and NFTs to newbies?
• Why do all businesses need to be thinking about a Web 3.0 strategy?
• How we have to work together and co-create this new world of web 3.0 

 

Liza is an early stage, women-led VC Angel investor passionate about Web 3.0, NFT, DAO, Crypto, VR, XR, AI and gaming projects.

Liza is also an artist, poet, film-maker, storyteller, and passionate advocate for the creator economy. There has been no greater time in the history of the world to make more Art: art-making is a subversive political process; it is urgent and high on Liza’s global agenda.

Liza has designed, founded, led and scaled high-tech, hi-growth companies and creative projects in Australia, the UK, the USA and the North Pole, where she also swam with a Walrus.

Liza is an innovation junkie and has her own suite of global technology patents, original songs and live performances.

Liza toured the world as the founder, CEO and Chairman of a revolutionary live music platform (Soundhalo), launched in London with a suite of top50 bands and broadcast live to 196 countries in real-time, from patent beta concept and spearheading a disruptive global operation to the delight of shareholders, fans, top 50 artists, labels, telco giants and consumer brand partners.

Rania Awad is a mother, wife, founder, and successful entrepreneur.

 

Rania spent her first 11 years in a war zone in Lebanon in survival mode.

 

When the moment to leave arrived, she flew to Sydney. Landing in Australia, she couldn't believe it. 

 

The first thought in her mind was, "gosh, tonight I'm just going to sleep, and I'm not going to be woken up by the sounds of bullets or bombs."

 

The early years were formative for Rania, and she developed an attitude of "what is the worst that could happen?"

 

Taking risks and dreaming big was something that didn't scare her.

 

At the age of 24, she started a Pharmacy and grew it into a well-respected multi-million dollar business.

 

She created one of the first-ever online pharmacies heading down the exciting e-commerce, technology, and digital path.

 

That business was acquired by Pharmacy-4-less, which she helped to take into the UK, US and China Markets, growing the company from zero to 16 million in 3 years.

 

Rania is now the CEO and founder of Digital Smoothie, a group of passionate creators and problem solvers in marketing, design, process optimisation, plus much more.

 

There are many great takeaways from today's conversation, and we know you will love it!
