Tonight we dug into what community really means when you’re chasing something bigger than yourself. We talked about showing up, staying motivated when people don’t “get it,” and why small wins matter. We also touched on Web3, POAPs, DAOs, and the tension between popularity and real creativity.

You’ll hear honest thoughts on building a support system, protecting your energy, and keeping your integrity as a creator. Big love to everyone who pulled up live and added to the conversation.
