About this listen

Welcome to BuildBetter, formerly known as the Web3Magic podcast. This channel began 2,5 years ago as Web3Magic — decoding the thinking of decentralized builders. Now, it’s evolving into BuildBetter: frameworks, stories, and tools for people building the future.

Technology, or rails, don't matter anymore. That's why I'm ditching Web3 branding. Blockchain is becoming part of everything. Now, more than ever, it's about useful products, not tech behind them.

Every week, I look at lessons from building companies and products - not technical lessons, but distribution-focused ones. Sometimes alone, sometimes with builders working on interesting products. We dive into stories, projects, and what makes them tick. How are they thinking about distribution and attention that is ruling everything?

The future is still exciting, and we're still building it.
Let's Build it Better! 🚀

    Daily Stoic For Builders - Episode 1

    This episode explores the concept of influence and control, and understanding of it for founders and builders.
    I emphasize the importance of focusing on what can be influenced and measuring what matters. It delves into the application of these principles in product building and the potential for change in the future.

    Takeaways

    • Focus on what you can influence
    • Measure what matters

  • #25 Daily NFTs Minute - today talking about Tribe X and Floppy
    Feb 17 2022

    The first project I'm talking about today is Tribe X:

    The story starts with humans on the verge of extinction. To survive and finally earn our fair share, The 12 Tribes must unite and give life to Tribe X. Tribe X will be starting with 11,111 female avatars with cool-looking art. The team says: "we've decided to start with women because women are the reason for our existence. Without women, there would be no civilization". I like that. Just a caveat Tribe X is not female-led team but there are females on the team.

    A portion of the net mint proceeds will be donated to charity, part will be reinvested into the Tribe X Ecosystem to form The Tribe X DAO, stand up $TRIBEXFIRE utility token and Tribe X Agency. These shall be the pillars of the Tribe X ecosystem for NFT holders. Of course, 3D Avatars and merch are planned too. If you are interested, I'd recommend reading their nicely done Whitepaper - which is more of ideation paper, don't look for too much detail.

    Mint date and mint price are both TBD.

    Check them out here because visuals are looking very cool:

    The second project I talk about today is Floppy NFT:

    Floppy NFT caught my eye on Twitter with its cheeky and fun-looking avatars. I dug into it a bit and apart from cheeky website with floppy running through a roadmap I've found semi-doxxed team i.e. two artists have some real socials and even a webpage and the rest of the team looks like avatars that are just starting.

    The roadmap is simple and unimaginative - holders will have a chance to participate in exclusive events such as NFT claims, raffles, community giveaways, character and story development, game and series production. Of course, some metaverse world building, and more...will (maybe) come.

    It’s an example of a project you should stay away from until it proves itself. But this is just my opinion. If you like floppy visuals and you don't expect to make money from it, then nothing can stop you.

    Mint date is set for Feb 19th and 20th and price shall be 0.07 ETH.

  • #24 Daily NFTs Minute - today talking about Martian Premier League (MPL) and Women Tribe
    Feb 16 2022

    The first project I talk about today is Martian Premier League (MPL):

    The lore for MPL goes along the lines of professor Gaffer setting up a new football league on Mars. He’s building a transporter capable of beaming 9000 humans up to Mars. His mission? To build a new football league that would embody the values of the game he used to know and love. You might have guessed that they are building a game.

    The upcoming genesis PFP mint art is created by Rupert Gruber (Marvel, Sony, Universal) and will act not only as your character but also as your mint pass to the whole Mars Universe. Holders' first reward will ability to create a genesis player who can operate in the Martian Premier League (separate NFT on L2). This additional NFT will act as the gateway for participation in the Martian Premier League and all the mechanics outlined in their whitepaper. The team has worked for two of the largest franchises on the planet: Harry Potter and Marvel and they are ZenAcademy members, so I have high expectations from this one.

    Mint should be on March 2nd so there's time. Definitely check them out:

    The second project of today is just minting and is called Women Tribe:

    Women Tribe Is female led project which has put enormous efforts into building a community of like-minded and supportive people in the past several months. I've been watching it since their early days and it is remarkable. Project founder Izzy has a very distinctive art style which I like.

    The ultimate goal is to help women and all people embrace their inner divinity and power. Some of our long-term highlights to accomplish over the next years include Scholarship & Charity, Epic Events, Community Wallet, Merch...

    10.000 Woman Tribe members are programmatically generated from over 900 hand-drawn traits, minting started on Feb 15th and the price is 0.04 ETH.
