We're back after a brief hiatus (all Rizzle's fault with him heading down to Austin, TX doing important things with Found3r).

To kick things off we dive into the reason why we took a week off - said important irl meetup in Austin, TX led by David All and the Found3r team who are focused on the real, human stories of web3.

The conversation branches off from there to cover the differences between putting on irl meetups versus url gatherinds and the amazing energy that is re-emerging around The WIP Meetup (big shoutout to Hyperfy and all the amazing updates their INCREDIBLY lean team is pushing out seemingly all the time).

Matt waxes poetic on the need to lean into into pure play in the metaverse (aka digital spaces where folks can live, work and play) highlighted by The WIP of course, as well as amazing projects and and initiatives like ZeroOne, the race track and scoreboard that Misfit Pixels + Carl put together, and all the amazing virtual spaces that artists like Bananakin are putting together.

The bottomline is that there is an ever expanding and far more accessible toolkit available to anyone with an internet connection that people can leverage to help craft and build playful digital and virtual experiences. The time to have fun is now.
