🎙 Who We're Talking To: The Women in Web3 Podcast

I’m running a poll right now on LinkedIn so that we can get just 1% better for our upcoming #womeninweb3 episodes…
So far, Spotify is in the lead.
You might know James Tarling as the Founder of Coindor, a company that aims to provide a safe and unbiased space to facilitate the discussion of cryptocurrencies with weekly web3 showdowns, helpful alpha on hot projects + more.
But since we’ve recorded this episode, as things go in web3, James has innovated and advanced to becoming the Founder of VentureReady.Global, a trusted web3 services agency that supports veterans and newcomers in an environment that is welcoming, accessible and honest. James works with you to both get your idea investment ready and secure funding from his network of Angel, Family Offices + VC investors in the web3 space.
James is a huge supporter of Women in Web3 and this definitely won’t be the last time you hear from him. We’ll record a new episode soon on his venture capital adventure… but in the meantime, take a listen to hear:
→ James’ background in the military as a combat medical technician and physical training instructor, where he discovered a passion for teaching.
→ How he discovered bitcoin, crypto + got to where he is today.

📚 NFT Explained -- Every week, I'm going to bring you one new NFT definition
What does NFT mean? It can be explained in a lot of ways, so I thought it’d be cool to start a super short series where each week I bring you a different NFT definition from someone in my network or an article I read or a random tweet ~ you get the drill.
“The way I see NFTs: Artwork that acts as a digital key. Behind the key is a strong community of people who all share the same values. The NFT holds a monetary value and proof of ownership. It also enables the community to come together through various utilities such as events or exclusive experiences.”
– Charlotte Simmons
👏 web3 Folks On The Move
This is something new – inspired by Sean Davis – the new VP of Business Development/Partnerships at The Omniverse City.
Sean shared a list of folks in web3 that gave him the knowledge, understanding and confidence to move forward in this space. Alongside Tiago Amaral, Becks Perfect, Delphin Miloudi-Druelle, Jamie Parmenter, Diego Borgo + Zack Deris… Sean mentioned me as one of those people! Incredibly honored, humbled, and rejuvenated to keep delivering this free newsletter to you all each week. Stories like this make me happy :) so join me…
