Communities are a hack for distribution in web3, but they are also the most inefficient when it comes to time of distribution. Due to the lack of monetization abilities for communities, mods, collab managers, etc., are part-time. Leading to more extended periods of communication between the project and the...

I also forgot to mention @upptic, who I have worked with before and endorsed, especially tackling web3 and web2 marketing as a package. Also, @AntonioSco_MOV, who is the founder of Movimentum, is more in the trenches for marketing and social execution.

There is another way. If teams makes a good product. With having a clear path they are leading to in the future. You will attract people who believe in the project not because they are paid too. But because they put their own capital in it. The word of mouth of these members are greater. Ghost is a great example. We asked nothing of him he just liked the product and vision. His word of mouth also can be seen as more valuable cause it's his capital and thesis.

Yeah a hack that isn't really explored is people who were grown in the community that purchased before any talks of ambassadorship was done. @sparkcsays @graildoteth @CryptoGorillaYT @ghost93_x come to mind

Great post, always a main priority for us at @upptic to make sure clients connect to the right communities based on their needs (can be different things at different stages). Also good to know when to go from web3 funnel to traditional UA funnels.

Love to see the breakdown Payton and Lot more connectors in the space for sure. Is it fair to say, connectors are likely to start their own agencies at some point? If you think about it, they have the most critical value prop

Yeah I would say they are freelancers that hit one niche which is connecting people. A lot more connectors in the space for sure. Pretty much anyone from @apcollectiveio I would say fits that bill but next time will give people more individual credit like @Real_n3xt

I hear so often from the Dommes I work with that they struggle with people online fetichizing them and simply seeing them for how sexy and beautiful they are. They project their fantasies and their desires onto you. That stops immediately once you move the attention from you to them. From 'look at me' to 'I see you'. What does that look like? When you create content, think of them and what this scene or that narrative is evoking. What will they learn from you? What they want is not to passively watch how sexy you are, but for you to train them, to give them instructions, to teach them, to guide them, to be in charge, to command them. This is not being an object but the main subject. The Authority figure. How is your content already doing that. The sexy photos can still be there, they are important to already capture des attention. But what you do with that attention once you have it, is where the power dynamic is established. Positioning yourself as more than a stunning Goddess, but actually a woman who has a voice, opinions, perspective, a philosophy, a way to doing things, teaching them what you like, how you like it, why you like it, already makes them want to be that for you. You hold the attention, you hold the power, so you direct it. And for that, you want them to know you get them and you know what lives within them... that creates the desire for you to be the one exposing it. You instantly build trust. Not because you demanded it, but because you earned it: you showed them you know what you are doing. You have experience, you understand them. They are not told to come see you, they are seduced into it. They desire it. And they will work for it. This will attract better clients (real subs) and instead of you trying to get their attention, they will work to earn yours. If you want to learn more about power dynamics, building a brand as a Pro or the psychology behind BDSM, you can now access all my trainings and classes in one place for a fraction of the cost of The Dominatrix Academy. And you can reinvest the total amount towards the Program. Message me [SECRET] for the details. This offer is not available on my website.

Jerome Tang says no message to the fans right now, the time for that will be at the end of the season. "It doesn't matter what I think, cause whatever I say, you all are going to take whatever you want to and clip it the way you want to and post it the way you want to and get the clicks that you need."

Most people choose belonging over accuracy. The desire to fit in overpowers the desire for truth. "A lot of the time, people will tell you, “Don’t care what other people think about you,” but we all care what other people think—often for very good reason, which is that if people think well of you, it benefits you in life. It puts you in a good position; you are rewarded for it. It helps you accomplish things. It makes you safer. It just feels good. Belonging is a critical part of being human. However, especially in the modern world, the desire to belong can often run counter to the desire to understand or be accurate. If you have to choose between “I could believe this thing and be ostracized or criticized or outcast from my community” or “I could believe this other thing, which may not be that accurate, but it will get me praised and rewarded and accepted by my community,” a lot of the time, the desire to belong overpowers the desire to understand."

The regime doesn’t align with your values; it tries to convince you that you align with its political aspirations. And you are either a tool or an impedance to their goals. Once you are no longer useful to them (and it’s only a matter of time before that happens) you are no longer protected from their violence but instead the target of it.

When you take office, you swear to uphold the Constitution. As your time runs out, some look for ways around it — or try to tear it apart just to hold on to power. But there's a time for everything: a time to serve the people, and a time to hand back the power they entrusted to you. Article 64 of our Constitution doesn't just give every Congolese citizen the right to stand against any seizure or exercise of power that violates the law — it makes it a duty. I'm exercising that duty. And I stand by it. I've always said it, and I'll say it again: when you come for the Constitution, you come for the people. And the Congolese people will not stand for it.

One of the most significant moments from the Trump Davos speech was when he said the quiet part out loud You cannot lower housing costs for young people without destroying millions in wealth for boomers "Every time you make it more affordable for somebody to own a house cheaply, you are actually hurting the value of those houses. I don't want to do anything to hurt the value of their house. If I wanted to crush the housing market, I could do that so fast that people could buy houses. But you would destroy people who already have houses." Our politicians are sacrificing people in their 20s and 30s for the prosperity of boomers Let that sink in

🚨 JD VANCE JUST BROKE IT DOWN PERFECTLY ON THE FOREIGNER FRAUD: "On the one hand, you've got American taxpayers who are generous, who love to take care of their country, who are paying their taxes, and they expect it to go to the services that people are actually legally entitled to." "They don't expect it to go to fraud. Those people, millions and millions of Americans, are being taken advantage of by this fraud." "You also have people who are supposed to benefit from certain services." "Let's say you take, for example, a food stamp recipient, a low-income American who's down on their luck, who needs a little help to ensure they put food on the table for their kids." When you have SOMALI FRAUDSTERS take away from that program, that means those resources aren't there for kids who actually need it, American citizens who actually need that!" "So this fraud ring that we've allowed to fester in this country, it defrauds the taxpayers." "It also literally takes resources from the mouths of poor children. We have to go at it for both reasons, and we are." JD Vance Will Cain

Being Dominant means being the One in Control. Some people love it and some hate it, but either way, there is always someone in control and the areas where you are not the one in control, are where you have given that control to someone else! Being the one in control means being the one people TRUST to lead, to be in charge. And for us to hold that responsibility, we gotta be not only comfortable with that role, but to love it! To want it. Control holds negative connotations, yet if it is exerted by someone with positive intentions, it is very healthy. It means you trust yourself and don't need to rely on others to direct you. NOT being in control means chaos. It means helplessness. It means inability to make decisions. Or to take initiatives. It means you are the one that follows. And if that is what you actually desire you have to be conscious of that choice. Otherwise you fall into that role and then wonder why nothing goes as you want. And if you choose to follow, choose your leader wisely. There always is someone in control, someone in charge, someone that leads. There is always a power dynamic. Truth is, we feel safe with those in control. Especially when they show us that them being in that role is positive for us. But so many people trust others more than they trust themselves! Which means being constantly influenced by everyone else's option and advice... which makes then the ones in control of your life! Decide WHO you want to take control when you want or need it, but also choose when YOU should be The One in charge. Developing that self-trust requires radical self responsibility. Which is what people struggle with. Nobody wants to be responsible for anything. And then we blame everyone for why our lives are not what we want them to be. And if you DO want to dominate, start by controling your own Self, your own thoughts, your own life. You can't expect others to trust YOU if YOU don't. Think about it... those that are in control are the people that have the most influence in the world. So if conscious people who desire to create a positive change take more control/responsibility, it would literally change society as we know it.

we all dream of those big wins in life the 100x, the multi-million dollar trade, or even just 10x of what you started with in 7 days i’ve been fortunate enough to experience a few of those over the past few years, and the reality is when you do win big, it doesn’t feel like it at all it hits for a split second, and then your brain just normalizes it it's a part of how to get there in the first place, but makes it a lot easier to lose it if you don't have the right guardrails in place and in that exact moment, you being even keeled doesn’t mean the number in front of you isn’t life changing it is this is where you have to slow down a bit, breathe, settle your mind don’t just roll it into some bullshit take some off the table, step away for a few days if you have to, funny enough, blowing let's say 10k of it on a beautiful trip to tokyo will save you so much because once you actually process what just happened, your future self will thank you for it the truth is, even if you think you’re going for a certain number, the moment you hit it, you’ll want more and more, and more anyone who's been in the same position will tell you the exact same thing ironically the people that win are addicted to winning and if you ask the same people in a year after that big win, what they regret and where are they proud of themselves? they will tell you they regretted rolling it over and giving some/all back or they are proud for switching back on the switch all of this is real, but it’s also exactly how i imagined it would feel years ago before it ever happened manifest your life, the feeling not just the number everything happens twice, first in your mind, then in reality

As a Christian, it's time to study the Bible for yourself. When you take time to know God, time to ask the right question, time to understand the nature of God of Jesus Christ himself as a person. The first problem you will have is with the Nigerian Church. The first people that will be at will are the Nigerian Church. Take it from me.

🐻: The reason why I turned on the live for Armys.. the reason is, well, this might be kind of a TMI but also not? It’s not like someone asked me to promote their songs or something, or that I have a friend or any sort of connections with the group, it’s just I am a fan of the group Brown Eyed Soul and have been for a very long time. So I turned on the live to express and share with you their songs as a long time fan. I’m doing it for the first time. Ever since I have been a kid I have grown up listening to their songs and at one point they were my source of happiness growing up. So when I heard they are releasing a song like the fan I am naturally I got excited and wanted to publicly share this feeling with you Armys. You know how there are many fans of Brown eyed soul in musical programs or departments? I am one of them too 🐻: Today I turned on the live for this reason. I want you to listen to their songs with me

In the past two weeks the people of Maui sustained one of the deadliest wildfires that has happens in US in more than a century. It has been a long and heavy road for our people, but through it all, Hawaii came together. It is time for me to contribute my part. This merch I’m dropping is called “warrior of love” and it’s dedicated to the people of Maui and warriors that are doing everything to save the day. Thank you for your support.

The Circle (2000, Panahi)/ Iran "Political movies have limited time. After that time, it doesn’t say anything anymore. But if the whole thing is said in an artistic way, then it doesn’t have an expiration date." --- Jafar Panahi Full Excerpt: "Interviewer: The subject matter of 'The Circle' (2000) is controversial. You mentioned that the film is still banned in Iran. In fact, when I was watching the film, I realized that through the characters, there’s a lot of fear about the system, the establishment, the police. The women can’t smoke; they have to wear the chador; they seem to want to hide every time. This is all very clear from watching the film. Did you deliberately want to make a statement about the political situation in Iran? Panahi: I have to tell you again that I’m not a political person. I don’t like political movies. But I take every opportunity to comment on the social issues. I talk about the current issues. To me it’s not important what is the reason for what has happened. Whether it’s political reasons or geographical reasons: these are not important—but the condition, the social issues. It is important to me to talk about the plight of humanity at that time. I don’t want to give a political view, or start a political war. I think that the artist should rise above this. Political movies have limited time. After that time, it doesn’t say anything anymore. But if the whole thing is said in an artistic way, then it doesn’t have an expiration date. So it doesn’t really serve a political purpose. Then it can be everlasting, for always, and it could be for anywhere. But I know that politically, with the film authorities, with any kind of film that has some political background in it, they would take issue with it. And for this reason, that is what the problem is. Interviewer: Still, your film makes a very strong statement about the problems that women face in Iran. Panahi: Yes, I agree with that. Interviewer: So that is humanitarian, of course, but it’s also political. Panahi: Yes, I agree with that. It has the elements. It all depends on how you look at it. If a person has only political views, then he will only see the political. But if you are a poet or an artist, then you see other things as well in the movie. If you are a socialist, you see political or economic or whatever different points of view. You mustn’t look at a film with only one point of view. If you want to see 'The Circle' (2000) as political, then it is one of the most political movies in Iran. By political, I mean partisan politics. But even the police, I didn’t want to show them as bad. In the first instance, you are afraid of the police. Because you are looking at them from the point of view of someone who is now in prison. And normally you see him in a long shot, but when they come nearer and you see them in a medium shot, you can see their human faces. Then it comes down to, “Do you need any help?” But he goes back again and becomes frightening. If I were being political, then I would always show the police as dangerous or bad persons." (Jafar Panahi's interview with Stephen Teo, Senses of Cinema, 2001)

But if the whole thing is said in an artistic way, then it doesn’t have an expiration date." --- Jafar Panahi Full Excerpt: "Interviewer: The subject matter of 'The Circle' (2000) is controversial. You mentioned that the film is still banned in Iran. In fact, when I was watching the film, I realized that through the characters, there’s a lot of fear about the system, the establishment, the police. The women can’t smoke; they have to wear the chador; they seem to want to hide every time. This is all very clear from watching the film. Did you deliberately want to make a statement about the political situation in Iran? Panahi: I have to tell you again that I’m not a political person. I don’t like political movies. But I take every opportunity to comment on the social issues. I talk about the current issues. To me it’s not important what is the reason for what has happened. Whether it’s political reasons or geographical reasons: these are not important—but the condition, the social issues. It is important to me to talk about the plight of humanity at that time. I don’t want to give a political view, or start a political war. I think that the artist should rise above this. Political movies have limited time. After that time, it doesn’t say anything anymore. But if the whole thing is said in an artistic way, then it doesn’t have an expiration date. So it doesn’t really serve a political purpose. Then it can be everlasting, for always, and it could be for anywhere. But I know that politically, with the film authorities, with any kind of film that has some political background in it, they would take issue with it. And for this reason, that is what the problem is. Interviewer: Still, your film makes a very strong statement about the problems that women face in Iran. Panahi: Yes, I agree with that. Interviewer: So that is humanitarian, of course, but it’s also political. Panahi: Yes, I agree with that. It has the elements. It all depends on how you look at it. If a person has only political views, then he will only see the political. But if you are a poet or an artist, then you see other things as well in the movie. If you are a socialist, you see political or economic or whatever different points of view. You mustn’t look at a film with only one point of view. If you want to see 'The Circle' (2000) as political, then it is one of the most political movies in Iran. By political, I mean partisan politics. But even the police, I didn’t want to show them as bad. In the first instance, you are afraid of the police. Because you are looking at them from the point of view of someone who is now in prison. And normally you see him in a long shot, but when they come nearer and you see them in a medium shot, you can see their human faces. Then it comes down to, “Do you need any help?” But he goes back again and becomes frightening. If I were being political, then I would always show the police as dangerous or bad persons." (Jafar Panahi's interview with Stephen Teo, Senses of Cinema, 2001)

Every two or three weeks, my sister Priyanka describes to me something new that she has learned from the people of Kerala. You have all these things here, so sometimes you take them for granted. You have natural beauty, you have an amazing political culture, you have multiple religions that live happily together. You are used to these things, and you take them for granted. So sometimes it’s important that someone from Delhi comes and tells you this - that you have the most sophisticated political culture at all levels. At the local government level, you have a superb political culture. Because you are emerging from a political process, and you are held accountable by the people of Kerala. And many of the young people here who have been elected for the first time must realize that you have been given trust by the people of Kerala. Respect this trust, cherish this trust, and defend this trust. And remember that, in the end, as a member of the Congress party, you are defending the Constitution of India. And you are not going to allow a culture of silence to pervade this country. : LoP Shri Rahul Gandhi 📍Kerala

You lost the respect of Ugandans a long time ago. You have no moral authority to speak about corruption and intimidation because you are the most corrupt person in Uganda! You took 39 billion shillings intended for promoting coffee, believing you were close to the president. Now you are seeking sympathy from Ugandans, but you have lost their respect. Rwabwogo, Ugandans are not happy with you! You misappropriated funds to become president, and now you’re looking for sympathy. Your intention is to cause the people to hate the government. You claim that the construction of the northern bypass took too long, but how can they finish the project when you have already stolen the money that could have been used to complete it? The youth are struggling to find jobs because they're involved in every business in Uganda, such as coffee, milk, roads, media, churches, mosques, tourism, and more. You mentioned that tourists are tired of noise at night, yet you are the one responsible for all the churches that make noise during the night.

One of my favorite Mark Daigneault quotes I have heard. “The cause of some of that success are seeds planted well before this season and are now blooming. If you get addicted to the bloom you stop planting seeds and at a future point in time you pay the price for that.”

I listened to over 100 hours of a Hitler Apologists podcast. (The Stone Choir Podcast) Here what I’ve learned so far… First of all, why did I do it? I did it because I wanted to understand why people that I knew were beginning to hate Jews and blacks. I wanted to understand the road to biological racial essentialism. I wanted to understand how a Christian man could genuinely believe that the best course of action for our country is to kick all the blacks out and send them back to Africa. After listening to these guys for over 100 hours I understand the roadmap to white supremacy. It’s wild but I get it. One of the reasons these guys are so dangerous is because they are deadly accurate at pinpointing many of the problems with our modern liberal society. This is how they win your attention. The utilize a lot of scripture, and they set themselves up as martyr heroes who are willing to sacrifice all for their cause. They’ll say the unpopular thing because they are the defenders of TRUTH! I also believe they are very sincere in their beliefs. The longer you listen the more you realize that literally everything that they’re saying is colored by their distain for Jews, and their belief that whites are the superior race. And I mean everything. It literally always comes back to this. The problem is by the time that this should become obvious, they have already won your trust by saying a whole bunch of other true and helpful things. Another major problem is that very few people are attempting to engage with the actual arguments that these guys are making in their podcast (ironic I know, since I am not attempting to address their arguments in this post). There are a lot of reasons for this, the time sink alone is a significant deterrent. And the kind of men who would be well equipped to address many of the arguments probably don’t see them as enough of an issue to take the time to actually do it. Regardless, it’s worth that needs to be done. I would say that I probably agree with 80 to 85% of what they’re saying, it’s that last 15% that is laced with cyanide that poisons the whole project. Ironically, Corey is so fond of saying again and again throughout the podcast that you can judge a tree by its fruits. If this is so, then we can be sure that the Stone Choir is a rotten tree. All you need to do is look through the posts and replies on their X accounts to see their constant stream of hateful, vile, rhetoric and ANY discerning Christian should be able to immediately dismiss these men out of hand. Honestly, my hope with this post is to demonstrate that I’m actually doing my homework. And that I understand a lot of you guys who are going down the Stone Choir route. I would also invite you brothers to read through Corey and Woes X posts and replies and ask yourself if these are the kinds of men that honor God with their speech. Are these the kinds of men that Christ would be pleased for you to learn from? There is a very clear answer to this question. Many of you know this. Many of you will even say the podcast is good, but I’m not so sure about their rhetoric on X. But please understand, their rhetoric on X is the fruit of their tree. From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks (and types in his keyboard). You know that it’s objectionable. But you don’t want to take Corey’s own advice and recognize that that means the tree is rotten. Listen. The PWC is real. It’s a real problem worth addressing. Uprooting the hidden liberalism within modern evangelicalism is one of the most important projects currently underway. These guys are not the ones for the job. Their poison WILL get into and infect you In profound ways. I’ve watched it happen with many young men. So please… If you started hating Jews, and blacks and believing that white to the superior race…. Repent. Come back to Christ. And stop eating rotten fruit from a rotten tree. Content addressing the arguments coming soon…
