In this episode of Organic Thoughts Podcast, Machi sit down with former teammate, friend, editor and chief of Dispatches, and first year law student at Georgetown University, Dylan Onderdonk-Snow/Dylan Van der Vos as his alter ego. In this episode we range from discussing life after college, recognizing our privileges, traveling West, creating art and removing ourselves from the typical societal ecosystem(creation of Dispatches and Organic Thoughts Podcast), racism ranging from Aiken High School to Georgetown Law School, and more. This isn't your typical style podcast. It's an interview-in-an-interview if you will. Some words from Dylan on Dispatches: 

"“Dispatches” is a free newsletter featuring free-form reporting and creative nonfiction written through the lenses of history, literature, art, spirituality, and the road. Subjects have been outlaw desert dwellers, the Lost Coast, William Blake, Mardi Gras revelry, Malcolm X, and the European Championship."

AdaTV was born out of the concept that over consumption can lead to harmful outcomes, and sometimes even our own demise. Mental health, specifically addiction, has touched each of our lives on the dev team. Due to the personal connection to this project, we pledge 10% of the proceeds from the mint to the National Alliance on Mental Health (NAMI). We wanted a way to personify the one thing we all can relate to being addicted to- television! Bringing the greatest movie characters to life through a Nascent Frequency Transference, a mysterious alien communication has hit our airwaves here on earth. So far what we know is they are dangerous and unpredictable. Stay tuned- we will keep you updated as the story develops!

Heya, I'm Jeff! Art is my everything, and has helped me through the good, and bad times. So as I grew up it was only right to find a job that utilized that skill. I currently am 22 years in to a tattooing career, that has lead me across the United States finding canvases to draw on! Ended up back in Indiana, and now am co-owner of a tattoo studio, where I get to relax and enjoy making art. Mental health has always held a weight over my head though, keeping me from reaching my true potential. In trying to combat my depression, and anxiety, I have found some peace in the "Good Mornings!" in the discords of the CNFT community.. and found myself wanting to share my art, and passion with everyone else in hopes it can help them find a smile!

Welcome to AdaTV! My name is Stephen, and I am a full time Financial Advisor for one of the largest investment firms in the US. One of my passions is writing, and I've been crafting stories for the past few decades. I love building our community and meeting so many incredible people in the CNFT space! I am a part of many other projects and have seen the failures and successes they have achieved, and I plan to not make the same mistakes they have! Mental health is also very important to me- many of my family members struggle with different mental health issues, and addiction has plighted some of them to the point of losing everything and ending up in jail. I've also known a few people who have lost their battle to depression by taking their own life. I want our project to be fun, engaging, and educational, but most importantly we want to make a difference.

Time Wasted

What’s going on everyone! Names Justin, I’m the Developer, Social Media man and Co-Founder of ADA Tv! During the week I work construction and have self-taught myself coding in my free time from web development to NFT Metadata and Generation. Being able to create a project to engage our community and support NAMI, an organization for mental illness seemed like a no brainer!! I believe everyone on this planet has been affected in one way, shape or form by someone that struggled, or maybe struggling themselves with Mental Illness. The team at ADA Tv is dedicated to making a positive change in this aspect!
