Our guest on this episode is none other than Twitter's @JimmyJohnsonNFT who is the founder of the NFT project @YellowDuckNFT as well as a Web3 Content Creator with over 100,000 subscribers on YouTube under the @yellowducknft account. The yellowducknft TikTok account has over 64,000 followers and over 2.5 million likes. The yellowducknft Instagram account has over 48,500 followers. We discuss how Jimmy is an individual who is incredibly fortunate to have discovered his life passion (Producing Viral Video Content) at a relatively young age, given that he started working on this endeavor when he was in 6th grade. In stark juxtaposition to Jimmy, I am 31 years old and despite creating my own streetwear brand selling clothing that features my abstract art, having a day job for financial security, and running a podcast, I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I'm still tasting. I have varied interests and I pop in and out of them. Every journey is unique and individual and I am happy with my path and progress. That said, it's inspiring to speak to a person who's laser focused with conviction and passion on their self-vision or true purpose that not only talks the talk, but walks the walk and serves as a living example that if you want to get over 100,000 subscribers on YouTube, a viable pathway there is falling in Love with the process of content creation and following through on that energy by dedicating oneself to employ the self- discipline of being consistent, consciously taking steps to improve one's work, and producing prolifically. Why would you get this far in the description and not have hit play on the episode? Did come here to listen to a podcast or just to read a Harry Potter novel length podcast description? Seriously. What are you doing? Start the podcast. 

This week's guest is a smooth operator. His first name is Jonathan but he's know as @ThisIsSmooth on Twitter. In our conversation, Smooth lets us know that his passion is Web3, where he currently is working full time, and with the intention to both inform and inspire,  he shares the story of how he discovered his passion Web3, then decided with conviction to transition out of his career in hotel management, (which he went to college for and graduated with a degree in) in favor of pursuing, and then ultimately securing his ideal full time role in Web3. Does it sound as though it would be overwhelming or difficult to follow in Smooth's footsteps? He assures you it's not. The way he details his own journey makes it easy to understand in a way that will open a door for those who are interested in pursuing a Web3 career as well but just need that one last nudge or positive anecdotal example to push them past their fears and into the growth that happens outside of one's comfort zone. Yes, some if it is who you know, but if you don't know anyone that's not an insurmountable obstacle. Smooth gives us tips on how to effectively network with individuals in positions to hire at the entry levels of the Web3 job-o-sphere. Are you seriously still reading this long ass description though? How much time do you have? The episode is a a little over an hour. Get on that shit. You need time to listen to the full conversation!

This episode kicks off with a discussion about astrology and how general knowledge of the subject can be an interesting yet useful guideline for judging people and situations. Then we hop into Bella's entrepreneurial success story about how she went from woking 5 different jobs at the same time to becoming the CEO of her own company and being her own boss. Along the way, we discuss different life lessons and tips that Bella learned along the way that may help you to achieve your dreams as well. Ever dreamed of being a CEO? Does the entrepreneurial spirit live within you? If so, this is an episode you can't miss! Come listen along and absorb the knowledge!

This week our guests comes to us all the way from Milan, Italy! A time difference of 6 hours, but proper planning can make anything work! Papelito, our guest, kicks off the episode talking about his passion for being in artist. Along the way he also explains why as an Italian man, he has a Spanish name. An interesting fun fact! But the real value of this episode is learning about how Papelito has succeeded in the NFT and Web3 space as an artist and creator. He works with illustration, production, videography, and animation. All of this started with him being influenced by Gary Vaynerchuk's podcast telling him to get started, which led him to get involved then end up winning a logo design competition. This opened a door. Come listen in and find out where he went from there and where he is now! If you are a rising artist you can't miss out on these lessons! 

The episode begins with a discussion of spirituality and morality. We both say that we are spiritual not religious. To us, this means that we believe in a higher power and from there we share details on the similarities and differences between the spiritual practices we've build for ourselves. There's a lot to learn in this episode. We go deep sharing the secrets of the Universe, energy, attraction, and manifestation. We acknowledge that on some level, there is a need for both light and dark, positive and negative in this world. We expound on how your initial conditions create the space and energy that attracts your later circumstances in life. You will attract negative experiences as a result of your flaws, but the beauty of life is going through these situations while being able to hold the perspective that there can be blessings in tragedies. There are no mistakes, only lessons. And that sometimes, what seems as though it's a bad situation or a trauma at the time, serves as the foundation for the healing and growth that allows us to become the fuller and stronger people that we are meant to be. Is it a paradox? Listen to the conversation for yourself and decide. If that doesn't hook you, we also learn how to earn passive income on this episode. Everyone wants passive income. So what are you waiting for? Listen to the episode. Now! :)

As the episode rolls in, I unexpectedly find out that Dank PHART is in a polyamorous relationship while being married to his wife and raising their child together. This immediately ensnares my interest as I have never had the chance to ask a member from this community questions about their lifestyle and how it works. I've always been curious on the topic but for me it ended up seeming as though it was an unrealistic reality. So, with a person who's experienced and knowledgeable, I take my chance to find out what I've always wanted to know. If you've been curious as well, now is your chance to find out all about it. From there we get into how the name Dank PHART came about as a poetry identity. Dank explains how his passion in poetry is rooted in the desire to change the world for the positive under the concept that the pen is mightier than the sword. He reads one of  his poems live on the cast and it is beautiful. You've got to listen in to this episode. It's the only way. 

We kick off the episode discussing how we're both addicted to Twitter at this point. We allow it. Our guest, who's IRL name is Michelle shares with us her passion for making memes and how they can bring happiness and positivity into people's life with only a bit of effort. Then we transition to her telling us her story about the rise and fall of her meme coin fortune. Listen to the episode to find out the amount that she made and lost. It's a lot. Devastating. However this doesn't stop Michelle. Even after this experience, she's able to stay on her feet and keep moving forward. From there, we talk a bit about sexuality and shame and how societal judgments and criticisms can lead a person to feel negatively about their own identity. These negative emotions lead to addiction and a downward spiral. This doesn't defeat Michelle either. She forges her way forward by joining help groups, going to therapy, and getting the right medication. We advocate on mental health in this epsiode. We smash through the stigmas people have against other people helping themselves. And we encourage people who are on the fence or struggling to make the move today and get the help they both need and deserve! Doing so will make you a better you!  

The episode kicks off with Dough Boy talking about how he is inspired to give after all the positives he has experienced in his life. His philosophy is that because he has been given much, he too must give! Its' a beautiful mentality and he shares with us ways that we can give back to the world as well! He's not a philanthropist so you can't make the excuse that you can't handle it financially. There are other ways to give back to the world than money. Come learn about them. Later, we dig into Dough Boy's past as he shared with us the tragic experience of the death of his sister at 32 years old leaving her husband and 4 children behind. Devastating. This brings is into speaking about advocacy for mental health and therapy, removing and destroying the negative stigmas, so that we can show people that the right way to get help is admitting you have a problem and then finding a support group or support counselor or therapist. We explore how that even in horrible tragedy, there is a way to see these events as blessings and lessons. There is a way to be broken, put yourself back together, and be all the more beautiful for it. This is an emotional one. If you're considering mental health, hearing both of our experiences on the subject will help to give you perspective. Listen to the conversation. You will benefit. I guarantee it. 

This episode's guest is passionate about music, his family, and travel. In addition to covering all of these topics on the episode, we also share the secrets of the Law of Attraction? Heard of it and think its woo woo nonsense? Well, maybe you should listen to this episode then. We come at it from a different angle. We discuss the positive psychology of self-affirmations and other manifesting techniques, separating the science from the spirituality, and then reconnecting them again. For me this was the most exciting part of this conversation in the second half of the interview. But the first half is valuable in different ways. If you're into music, you may even want to listen to Thomas's perspectives and opinions with the possibility in mind that you may have a chance to collaborate with him in music creating if you reach out! He also shares valuable lessons with us about how to raise children with good values and what exactly those values are. Listen to this episode. You'll be satisfied spending the time doing so. I guarantee it.
