Greetings from Barcelona!

I’m currently attending Avalanche Summit to meet with Web3 projects (day job stuff). It’s been fun but exhausting. Standing around networking all day is more tiring than you think!

This week’s newsletter is short and sweet:

• One Web3 topic: IRL Events

• One writing tip: Find your tribe

• One story: AutoGPT

IRL Events

This week I was at Web3 conference called Avalanche Summit in Barcelona.

During the event I was reminded how valuable in real life (IRL) events can be.

Sitting at a happy hour talking to a physical person one on one is much more valuable than leaving 50 comments on Twitter.

It’s easy to get sucked into thinking Twitter is the only place to make Web3 connections.

If you’re sleeping on IRL events you’re missing out on many potential opportunities.

Wherever you live there will most likely be IRL events. Sign up and get out there and start talking to people!

If you’re shy, you have the added confidence of a drink in your hand to help you out.

Check out www.meetup.com - find events in your area and start meeting people in Web3. That will put you ahead of 90% of the people on Twitter.

Find Your Tribe

Writing is inherently a lonely process. Just you and the empty (or full) page.

It wasn’t until I started writing regularly that I realized I needed a group to bounce ideas off of and to look at my writing.

If you are just starting out, find at least two or three people and form a writing group. It will 10x your quality and output.

A group keeps you accountable and also gives you new perspectives on your writing.

If you’re not sure where to find that. Just look at the people you follow on Twitter.

Are you friendly with any of them?

If so, send them a DM and ask if they want to form a writing group.

It’s 10x harder if you try to do it alone.

AutoGPT

If you haven’t heard of AutoGPT yet, prepare yourself.

I recently listened to the All-in podcast about AutoGPT.

The podcast left me stunned at how fast AI is moving and also some of the possible implications.

It’s simultaneously fascinating and terrifying.

Even if you aren’t interested in AI, you need to listen to this podcast.

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it for days.
