    Transitioning from Web2 to Web3 with Catherine Hinderman

    Kamilah and Nova chat about their transitions from web2 to web3. They talk about getting into tech and organizations focused on technology that helped them move to this new evolution of the internet. Nova talks about having one foot in web2 and the other in web3. Yet over time, Nova’s found herself becoming more and more part of the metaverse and web3 movement. Transitioning from Web3 to Web3 This week’s guest is Catherine Hinderman. She joins Kamilah and Nova from India (a 10.5-hour time difference). Catherine is originally from Sweden, educated in the US, and is working on a new luxury brand in India, where she is CEO and co-founder of Gaia-Amore. Catherine was in a tech accelerator when she saw how gaming was involved in the tech – but should be similarly available to artisans. Gaia-Amore is focused on creating a hybrid between physical luxury and digital luxury. They also provide a means for artisans with less education - but a tremendous amount of culture and skill - to reach a new and larger audience and expand their exposure, too. Catherine had to wrap her head around NFTs when she first encountered them – but then she understood their benefit as a creative product that holds value. When asked how the metaverse will impact eCommerce, Catherine says this is only the beginning. Brands have to innovate to compete, and Gen Z has been digitized more or less all their lives – so they’re likely to drive this. How do you get customers into Web3 and all that’s there? Catherine shares multiple resources for learning more – starting with LinkedIn. Nova, Catherine, and Kamilah talk about how web3 and the metaverse are not scary. People like Nova, Catherine, and Kamilah stand between these two worlds and can help people transition between them.

Community and Connections in Web3 This week’s guest is Caroline Johnová. She is a co-founder and CEO of WAGMI Guide and COO of WEYU. She’s a multi-disciplinary creative tech leader. Always a creative in marketing and branding, it was her discovery of NFTs that brought Caroline into Web3. Caroline explores the process of starting a community in Web3. She says it begins by identifying your primary goal – then collaborating with your shareholders. Then unite with others within and without the industry to support your idea and project. Small and highly engaged is important to the community. Caroline discusses being vocal about attracting followers and self-promotion to help create belonging. She also offers tips for fundraising. Caroline says networking with others is the best way to make connections.   Crypto Crypto for Creatives Web 3.0 NFTs Blockchain Creativity Community Phygital IRL Pink Kangaru Network
