Sooo between all my DJ sets, Parties and Speaking gigs, I'm featured in a lot of press this week, I believe 4 articles total, one of the articles is in The New York Times ... Talking about cryptocurrency and the meme-coin craze. Much like the NFT one we saw back in 2020-2022.

What's interesting about emerging tech and innovation is you typically only hear about the sensationalized, exaggerated, unnecessarily LOUD messaging around this stuff. You hear about the negative stigmas that are as easy to play off of as comic routines and the typical satire. Then you hear the doom and gloom stories, and then of course the opportunists, grifters, thieves that exploit with predatory behavior, manipulative tactics and malicious financial tools (Which mindfully exist in almost every f*cking industry). You have to really move a certain way and maintain your integrity, ethics, character and have a lot of grit to be even remotely tolerant or successful at the intersection of tech and finance... Before getting too deep, i'll pull back and just say long story short - i'm happy with my "positioning" and opportunity to share knowledge, education and experience by sharing the benefits of these revolutionary tools in this digital renaissance to build a better tomorrow today. I'm genuinely here for all the right reasons and advising for and consulting on projects that are truly looking to help solve some socioeconomic and geopolitical issues that are in alignment with my personal interests of helping women, youth, elderly, animals, children and the environment we all have to share.

That said, if you want to take a minute to check this out, feel free... annnd if you're around Seoul, Bangkok, Singapore or Tokyo in September and want to link up or have someone I should meet or somewhere I should go, please don't hesitate to make an intro.

Til next time :)

One of the wildest, most scam-ridden corners of the cryptocurrency industry — memecoins, which are rooted in internet memes — has roared back.

Do I have friends who work frequently in or around Seoul, Singapore and Tokyo? I'm in the process of building some activations in all 3 for September and looking for some PR Companies, Marketing Agencies, Venues and Sponsorship Partners to bring alongside a handful of these events that have really unique and special offerings. All while simultaneously bridging a handful of these companies that might not have a strong imprint in the US, an opportunity to have more exposure to this market.

Tour Management, Experiential, Public Speaking, Event Coord. Consulting, Advisory, Hosp. Mgmt. and more.

Holla if you’ve got anything of potential interest or referral. I’m well versed in so many valuable areas, I’m sure I can be an asset to you or a friend of a friend. 💫

A few years ago in 2020, I embarked on a new journey into the unknown that I didn’t know would change my life seemingly forever. It was peak pandemic, live events were dead.. I was being asked to produce drive-in shows for artists like Future, all the talent I was repping couldn’t perform, the venues I was booking had to close. All my people i’d hire for Photo/Video, Sound, Security, Lighting, Door, Bar & Cleanup were also out of work. I was selling QR Code Setups & Paperless Menus, Delivery Services, White-Label To-Go Cocktails & even subcontracting patio builds. Not to mention casually ending up sourcing official N95 PPE gear for schools & hospitals + creating a 30 page resource doc w/a friend to provide support for those navigating the turbulence. Somewhere in this timeline I started learning how to trade stocks & crypto ( don’t worry, i’m still trash at it ) & literally round-tripping a couple dozen opportunities to have generational wealth. Anyways, throughout this time I pivoted much like everyone & started to build a beautiful ecosystem in shark infested waters. I knew very little of the tech & finance world, but started to get my feet wet through the Clubhouse platform. Where I ended up educating people almost daily on everything I knew from Art, Music, Fashion, Events, Marketing, Branding & eventually Tech. While I was learning daily, I was also teaching, which resulted in me becoming a key opinion leader in a fast-paced emerging tech space. This lead to me building one of the largest communities on the platform for these conversations at the time. Which then resulted in a knock from Twitter asking me to be their expert in Crypto & do the same on their competing app (Spaces). When we were back outside, I found myself surrounded by a whole different demo from Bitcoin Conference to NFTNYC of which I started climbing from Speaker to Moderator to Conference Host to Keynote & now i’m happy to announce, I’ll have my own stage at this years conference under my NewFriendshipTech brand which in 2 years has done some remarkable stuff.
