The 1st World of Women Gala, Web3 Permissions w/ Lauren Griewski, + Women's Entrepreneurship Day...Metaverse Style!
Women in Web3 - Issue #40
Welcome to Women in Web3! I’m Carly from Weld Recruiting and this is the 40th edition of our weekly get-down!
It’s been a lot this week.
A fellow LinkedIn CAP member, Cherie Luo, listed it out for us:
1) Midterm elections
2) Major tech layoffs
3) FTX/Binance
4) Elon x Twitter
(To name a few…)
If you’re feeling the heaviness of all that’s going on, I want to leave you with a quote from Anup Raina –
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt.
The trick to getting out of the pit well is to shake it off and take a step up. We can get out of the deepest pits by not stopping, being centered and agile, and never giving up.

Clips from my recent Job Stories podcast with Mason McSpadden!
“If you’re not working in music or art full time, you lose that sort of nature of creativity and inspiration and imagination. But that, I think is one of the biggest foundational elements of all things Web3.” – Carly Long
