A huge gap in most web3 strategies? Forgetting that 99.99% of your audience aren’t web3 fans. As a metaverse/NFT advisor to Fortune 500 brands, Diego’s top skill is zooming out. He shares why AR is the interface with blockchain as the backbone, why VR won’t go mainstream unless we’d all like a trip to rehab — and what it’ll take to ease the average Joe into a new reality.

“My ego interfered with my potential.” David Meltzer became a millionaire in his early 20s. His first exit was over $3.4 billion, and he led the agency that inspired the movie Jerry Maguire. But then he lost it all: several homes, the money and nearly his marriage. He shares how he made his way back to the top through appreciation — with a little help from his servant: technology.

On paper, Harry was a college kid that rode the “Gen Z creator” wave to fast success. He co-founded content monetization platform Fanfix, saw it get acquired by SuperOrdinary in 10 months and is now the co-CEO. But the truth is, raising capital at a young age is grueling, and there wasn’t much of it. So how did a few students build a premium product? “We were very scrappy.”

Philz Coffee is the largest independent 3rd-wave coffee company in the US, yet it’s retained the warmth instilled into its DNA back in 2003. Maybe it’s because co-founder Jacob obsesses over hiring, or because the now-investor knows “raising money can make you dumb.” He explains what makes a high-potential product, how to remain mindful when syncing brands with tech and a lot more.

As an angel investor behind 20+ companies, future fund manager and Thrive Market’s ex-Chief of Staff, Nolan’s got some wisdom. Why (or why not) work with close friends? How does “zooming out” separate great founders from the average? He gets into it all, plus how to earn respect from business leaders and investors, and why “vanity metrics” help no one.

Bye, dusty family album. Hello, meaningful Artifact: recording family histories via studio-level quality with the help of pro interviewers. Applauded by the Wall Street Journal and co-founded by WeWork alum Ross Chanin, Artifact has 10,000 customers across 15 countries. But it didn’t start as a company, and Ross never viewed it as having to be a tech, venture-backed startup.
