Sandberg's first move shocked Silicon Valley:

She built an army of salespeople.

In tech, product was king. But Sandberg knew better.

Her motto: "The future of marketing is personal."

Result?

[MiniWhales AI @MiniWhales_ai]

A few years ago we started with one seemingly simple question:

Why is it so difficult to create a web3 product that consumers want?

Here are the 4 challenges we found, which led to the creation of MiniWhales:

[Belle @Belle_nfts]

Life was perfect—until my husband suddenly passed away and I had two kids looking at me to figure it out. Here’s how crypto changed my life.

As a first-gen Latina, I was taught from an early age to reach for the stars. I fought hard to break ceilings in a male-dominated industry and kicked ass in my career but nothing prepared me for this.

Going through the process made me realize how blessed I was to not lose my house or have to work 3 jobs to pay for daycare. I wanted to make a difference so I quit my job and enrolled in law school, vowing to help other widows navigate the financial crisis that happens from losing a partner.

As happy as I was with my decision, I was still a single mom that needed to put food on the table. I wanted to invest more so I started researching crypto and fell in love with the concept, the tech, the culture, the people. I knew this was something I needed to share with others. Not only could I help women after a tragedy but I could also help prepare and empower them so that they never had to go through what I witnessed.

It wasn’t all perfect though. Learning crypto was so hard!! Knowing who to trust, who actually knew what they were talking about, finding the time to listen to spaces, chat in discord, etc was so incredibly time-consuming! The never-ending search for alpha meant practically being online 24/7 and for a single mom that just wasn’t possible.

Almost as soon as we cofounded @NFTgirl, @NFTfeen and I started working with @iggynore to look for better ways. Better ways for people to learn crypto, for users to feel safe, for smaller artists and creators to be seen, for people like me to build businesses and really make an impact. But there was nothing. SO WE BUILT IT. 😎

@Miniwhales_io was born out of seeing how hard it was to get into crypto and a North Star of making it easier for someone like me - a single parent, a creator, a woman, a corporate executive, an entrepreneur - to not only learn crypto but to build their community and generate wealth in a fun and engaging way.

Crypto to me isn’t just a means to an end. It isn’t just a fad. It isn’t just a gamble. It isn’t just for fun. It’s a life changing opportunity that I think any of us can take advantage of as long as we know HOW.

Three years into this journey, I feel blessed that I get to educate others and interact with builders that have similar vision. Each Space that I host or panel that I moderate gives me an opportunity to share the amazing opportunities we have in Web3.

As the years pass my dreams haven’t changed. I still reach for the stars and every single day we build MiniWhales, I remind myself my mission is to build something that empowers others to live out their own dreams. 🫶

[Miguel Faus 🎥 CALLADITA FILM @miguelfaus]

In 2022, we made history by raising over $750k to make "the first European movie ever funded by NFTs".

A community of over 500 degens formed around my crazy dream.

Now that dream has been accomplished, and the movie is available for you all to watch on Bingeable (link in BIO).

10/10: WATCH & EARN 👀

CALLADITA is Coming Soon to a Bingeable channel YOU create or you want to watch from. Empowering creators, stars of the project, influencers, celebrities, friends, and fans to promote and get paid for sharing with others.

START HERE: https://t.co/LBEjS6SV1Z

“... hopefully we can spark a revolution that helps many other filmmakers from around the world to get their passion projects funded thanks to NFTs, so that we can have a more diverse, passionate and creator-led cinema.” -@miguelfaus

[Karla @KarlaA319]

9/10: Red Carpet Premier 📸

If this is your first time hearing of CALLADITA then now you know: creator led communities is the revolutionary meta.

And because community is everything, now YOU are also able to participate in the distribution & amplification of this special film for its North America release which kicked off with a Red Carpet Premiere in Hollywood this week. The event showcased how creators and their audiences alike will be financial beneficiaries of the art, as it should be.

Proving what our friend Stephen Murray has pressed:
“If we change the world for creators, creators will change the world.” - @s_bingeable

[Karla @KarlaA319]

8/10: A Beautiful Film❣️

CALLADITA is a beautifully told story executed with vivid imagery. Viewers are absorbed by its rebellion and indignation in the face of humiliation and exploitation; highlighting how we treat each other, and what we are willing to tolerate.

It’s easy to cheer on Ana (portrayed ablaze by Paula Grimaldo). The ending leaves us contemplating how we would have handled the plot's circumstances. And ethical questions linger through the credits.

[Karla @KarlaA319]

7/10: Film Festivals & Laurels 🎞️

For the past year, CALLADITA has been making waves in the film festival circuit, and has added prominent laurel awards from, amongst others:
Talinn Nights @TallinnBNFF, Malaga Film Festival @festivalmalaga, Seattle International Film Festival @SIFFnews, and Riviera International Film Festival @FilmRiviera where it won BEST FILM from judges Susan Sarandon, Andrew Dominick, and Pietro Scalia.

Miguel and the team have traveled the globe and CALLADITA has had theatrical releases in Europe. Yet North American audiences have not had the opportunity to experience its prowess;
This is about to completely change 🔥

[Karla @KarlaA319]

6/10: Post Production Funds 🚀

In November of 2022, CALLADITA received a final and necessary boost from the web3 community. It won the coveted Andrews/Bernard Award #1 sponsored through a generous donation from Steven Soderbergh on the Decentralized Pictures platform at @DCP_Foundation.

The $100,000 in finishing funds stamped the power of community filmmaking and decentralization to accomplish all components of movie-making elements.

[Karla @KarlaA319]

5/10: CALLADITA NFT Art 🖼️

Miguel’s passion and wide web3 network allowed the final film to include an enviable array of NFT artwork from recognizable accounts such as: @BoredApeYC, @nounsdao (the second highest backers of the film), @squiggles, @XCOPYART, Ringers by @dmitricherniak, @unofficialmfers and as shown: @clairesilver and Fidenza by @tylerxhobbs.

It's a wonderful and surreal feeling to see NFT art on the screen. The sense of validation and pride for the space as a whole is sublime.
It will be fun to discover them all!
