That Time My Sister Pushed Me Out of a Plane, Web3 Shows Up for Spooky Season, + a #WomeninWeb3 Podcast Poll
Women in Web3 - Issue #36
Welcome to Women in Web3! I’m Carly from Weld Recruiting and this is the 36th edition of our weekly get-down!
As y'all found out last week, I started the LinkedIn Creator Accelerator Program for Technology + Innovation alongside some awesome folks (Lexi B at Twitter, Pete Cashmore of Mashable, Matt Shadbolt of CNBC, fellow #womeninweb3 Asha Susan Cherian, Tameka Bazile of TIME, Jazmin Goodwin of January Ventures, Thomas Pan [aka TPan], Bill Young of Twitch, + so many more)…
So as part of the program, I want to start a LinkedIn series to feature people in the #web3 space!
My question for you:
What caused you to be fully committed to (aka so bullish on) web3?
(Shout out to Chris Sotraidis of Anheuser-Busch for kicking us off!)
Send me your answer on LinkedIn or at Carly@WeldRecruiting.co (not .com)

👯 Women in Web3… and Beyond
Mo Fiorino was one of my OG podcast guests for #womeninweb3. Today, she launched her first NFT for Connecting Roads!
Check out her OG episode here:
The New-Age Bonnaroo, Accessible By NFT Tickets Only with Mo Fiorino
Mo Fiorino is the Founder & Creative Director of Connecting Roads, the world’s first curated experience collection powered by NFT technology. Mo joins the Women in Web3 podcast to talk about: Reviving her Twitter from high school days to join the NFT craze, purchasing her first NFT - a Spontaneous Seahorse (Can you guess where from?), using her experience to conceptualize a whiteglove onboarding process for all members (like sitting Mom & Dad down and explaining how to set up a MetaMask wallet over Sunday dinner), & how they’re making awesome musical, festival and outdoor experiences more intimate and more accessible with NFTs.
