Drake’s e-commerce store is insane 🤯
1. Instead of a traditional layout, his team built a visual map of his mansion with linked products in each room
2. He’s using

What do they have in common?

The story of the two fishermen resonates deeply with me.
It perfectly explains why I failed consistently as a beginner builder.
Challenged myself to visualize the entire story with Pixar-level graphics using only AI.

It’s starting to become clear that
@RTFKTstudios
is building a platform that allows creators to build, display & sell virtual assets and experiences.
It’s a step change from anything else being offered on the market.

@KITH
is putting on a master class for how traditional brands should experiment with web3 in short-term.
1. Build authentic connection with web3 native brand (

2. Do what you do best (product), let them do what they do best (web3 stack)
3. Set up for long-term
Had my wife close her eyes and describe rooms in her dream home.

She was speechless.

From reading my comments, I’m realizing how many people must run these contests and never actually do the giveaway.
Insane.
You can rest assured I’m 100% giving this away. Will post the transaction as proof.

I think
@RTFKTstudios
is the highest risk-adjusted reward play (for absolute $ returns) in the space right now.
I think the best value (in order) is still:
1. Clones
2. MNLTH
3. Pods
Ape Coin/ApeDAO level stuff is coming in the next few weeks.
I can’t scream louder about this.
RTFKT team knows they couldn’t tease for this long without dropping something big.
I think we’re about to see another paradigm shifter from them in the next 2 weeks.

I have no doubt this team will influence the future for how digital collectibles are adopted and used across the physical and digital worlds.
Digital fashion is a $5+ trillion dollar opportunity over the next several decades.
I believe it will evolve differently than most industry experts currently think.
A few predictions…
The
@RTFKT
team is the furthest along at bridging culture via physical and digital.
And it isn’t close.
If you want to be a player in the future of fashion, culture, and lifestyle, you simply need exposure to this team.

JJ Reddick + LeBron just changed sports media.

First time playing with AI video dubbing

Blew me away.

I’d expect to see real-time “video dubbed” calls in 1-2 years.

First week full-time on content.
Have made $2500 passively on Tiktok in 3 days.
Biggest realization…
Going full-time isn’t about what MORE you can do. It’s about what you get to STOP DOING.
Clarity of ideas & storytelling 10x’d immediately after removing corporate nonsense.
Too many traditional brands are either:
A. Too scared to experiment and missing the opportunity to be early.
B. Biting off more than they can chew, flopping their early drops and community attempts, and producing products that aren't web3 native.
Well done

Explaining NFT use cases to normal people is tough.
I've had hundreds of "baby red pill" conversations and recently started having breakthroughs.
People walked away fired up about the space and created a crypto wallet on the spot!
Here's what I told them...
On June 26th, 1998, a 21-year old Martin says the entire world will know of Coldplay in 4 years.
He was rocking braces and hand’t even finalized the band’s name.
4 years and 3 days later, Coldplay headlines the Glastonbury Festival in front of 140,000 people.
Legendary call.
3 months ago, I had never made a short-form video in my life.
50K followers and 14M views later, I've noticed some patterns that work.

Shopify’s partnership strategy is genius.
1. Find the most influential creators in the world (Drake, Mr. Beast)
2. Build custom physical <> digital experiences with them
3. Productize the best ones as new features for others

Even a small dose of mushrooms will immediately melt away conscious comparisons.
It’s weird, but it unlocks this “we’re just happy to be here” center in your brain.
And helps you realize how little most things matter from the inside out.

@rookie_nfts
This is my sleeper pick. Think Loot for sports.
Since minting a week ago, the team has been feverishly working to build several use cases and a $SPORT token to power the project.
I could see massive upside here in the coming weeks.

@BYOPills
When I first bought the BYO pills, I loved their idea of becoming the first consumable in the metaverse, a way to augment your avatar's state in different environments.
Since then, the team has blown me away and their upcoming Apostles avatar project looks unreal

It has achieved the rare & coveted “cult snowball effect” that most brands would give anything to have.
Spent some time today thinking about what makes them better.
It boils down to 3 things that every brand should aim for…
The Barstool timeline is wild:
2016: Dave sells 51% to Chernin for $6M (probably too early)
2020/2023: Dave + Chernin sell 100% to Penn for $500M+
2023: Dave reacquires 100% for $0
ESPN likely forced Penn to divest rapidly or their deal couldn’t go forward.

In this week's NFTeasers, I go deep into the madness of the last week and break down the bear/bull case for each major party involved.

Customizing perfumes by building your own signature scent to forge IRL is next level.
This is the experimentation and innovation we need to validate the web3 space.
@RTFKT
’s operating at a higher frequency 🤯🤯🤯
I'm super bullish on NFTs, but there's a lot of noise out there with hastily created projects by people looking to make a quick buck.
I've done my best to try and avoid those and hold a mix of projects for both the art & utility long-term.
Here's what I'm in / why I like it 👇
NFT rentals are the killer use case that will expand adoption and unlock passive income in the space.
@RiotRacers
turning this on was a big unlock for me and one of the first examples I’ve seen of a “non-ponzi” token flow.
I earned $50 last night by doing nothing. Here’s how 👇🏼
@alexisohanian
The implications are massive!
This drop and other recent ones like it (e.g., ENS, UNI, etc.) create a roadmap for other projects to kickstart the shift from users -> owners and build better incentive alignment overall.
Web3 companies will eat their web2 counterparts.
@AlexHormozi
Most people should focus primarily on:
Lean proteins, 1g per pound of bw.
Portion control, don’t overeat.
Limited sugar.
Limited dairy.
Complex, non processed carbs.
Fibrous vegetables.
No food 3 hours before bed.

Tip to 10x your short form videos.
“Traditional” hooks (2-3 sentence carrot dangles) don’t work anymore.
If you can believe it, people’s attention spans are even shorter than before.
Here’s a better “first 3 sentence” format that seems to be working well.

6 months ago,

built a secret website
Nobody knew about it.
The site suggests there is a major launch planned for today 😳
I think Nike is trying to send a bigger message👇🏻
In 5 years, the NFT space is going to realize that Nike acquiring
@RTFKTstudios
was as masterful as Facebook buying Instagram for $1B.
Instagram is easily worth $50-$100B today.
I think RTFKT could have a similar impact on culture and the next wave of digital commerce.
I don’t get why people are fudding
@moonbirds_xyz
so hard.
When big projects win, it brings more validation & attention to the entire space, which typically rises all boats (including the dumpster mints in your hidden folder).
Here’s 6 reasons why Moonbirds could be different:
Extremely bullish on this team and stoked for this announcement!
In my mind,

Web3 will be the single greatest wealth creation opportunity over the next decade.

For the first time ever, anybody can take advantage and win. There are no gate keepers in an open system.
A year ago, I made one of the best decisions of my life…
I started making videos.
From Messi to Microsoft, and Elon to Erewhon, I covered whatever I thought was most interesting at the intersection of culture, tech and business.
My first videos were embarrassingly bad.
But I…

Lmaoooooo. The pixelated picture you’re using to signal status in your profile was inspired by Yuga.
So much so that KRose built it as an alternative with better mechanics.
Without Yuga, there is no mainstream NFT market. Without NFTs, web3 is still niche

Shiny is the community that has helped onboard over 500 people into crypto/NFTs/metaverse and is poised for explosive growth in the next few months.
Season 1 and $SHINY are dropping soon.
Also,
@tomosman
is the GOAT of rocks.
My guess for what
@RTFKTstudios
is doing with their drops…
The MNLTH is basically a minting machine.
Each time they do a sneaker or apparel drop, they will give a coin NFT to each clone for free.
You can use your MNLTH to burn that coin and create the sneakers/clothes.
@FitFounder
Biggest sleep hack that most won’t try is fasting during dinner instead of breakfast.
Kills the vibe socially if you like to eat dinner with partner/friends.
