Crashing out over working in crypto?
The Shao 3 Pillars of Working in Web3
1. Ethos (Integrity)
2. Balance (Work, Health, Personal)
3. Network (Connection)
My whole career has been built around these 3 principles that drive value with projects and people and have lead to job offers and advisory positions
- Ethos - integrity is the pillar on whether your work is viewed as transactional or long term sustainable. How you manage your yourself on social media and in the trenches will determine if brands and people will work with you.
- Balance - the hardest part about working in blockchain is the imbalance of work, health, and personal life. The pressure to compromise your health and relationships are so lopsided - burn out is higher here than almost anywhere else. Don’t compromise your ability to be here for the long term.
- Network - the most important skill for a career in Web3 is connecting with others building value based relationships. It shouldn’t be transactional rather deep and impactful that can lead to future partners or your dream job.
My son and I are really excited for @veefriends Topps Chrome 2026.
It’s magical watching his excitement in ripping packs and collecting cards 🎴
He pulled an absolute grail this year. Thanks @garyvee for bridging my world of Web3 and fun that my whole family now enjoys.
Omg - the amount of fun I’m having with my son for @veefriends@Topps is unbelievable. We still have more to rip and open but we got this Game-On Humble Hedgehog!
My son and I are were confused by the thickness at first but were so ecstatic right now!
Can’t wait to open more!
My girl G at CrackedBreaks hit a god pack. One pack 1/1 Woke Walrus and Iconics VVVL Black Cat! And no that’s not mine!
This is what community is all about and introducing new collectors to @veefriends@garyvee
