In Episode #2, we interview MotivateMe.eth the pseudonymous community manager for Cryptoadz by Gremplin. Moti (moh-tee) came for the flip and stayed for the community, helping to launch one of the most successful NFT projects to date, bringing in more than $200M in only a handful of months. He's self-aware, cohesive, and incredibly patient, helping maintain the !vibe for more than 14 hours every day. If you're interested in how to build great NFT communities, why a project would choose to use a creative commons license (nobody owns the IP!), or how to participate in Web3 without being rich, this is the episode for you.
