Luxumbra is a manual-laborer-turned-developer-turned-cat-herder that found MetaGame initially as DAO newbie researching Bitcoin use cases. In his crypto research, he stumbled upon Aragon and communities powered by Aragon. From there it was a classic story of falling into the rabbit hole and falling in love with communities that are genuinely more interested in creating value than extracting value. In his past lives, Luxumbra has been a developer, a construction worker, an educator, a traveller, and an artist. Today, he is a Human of MetaGame.

In this episode, Luxumbra and Peth discuss MetaGame and the world of DAOs: exploring Luxumbra’s personal history in tandem with an exploration of pros and cons of work life in the web3 space, opportunities for devs and non-devs alike and different perspectives of the cryptoverse.

Some of the topics

• Meaningful web3 value creation
  
• The silent revolution in crypto happening beneath the profit-chasing surface
  
• Burnout and the importance of taking care of yourself
  
• Taking ownership of your work & self-direction
  
• The growth of MetaGame from its humble beginnings
  

Luxumbra and Peth discuss the force that is MetaGame, recognizing the strength of a dedicated community to “pull off” amazing offerings like MetaFest. They forecast the steady forward movement of MetaGame that will persist up to and throughout the next bull market as well as the bear market. They chat excitedly about the upcoming gathering in Italy and the novelty of meeting pseudonymous, faceless coworkers who became close friends.

The episode concludes with a very relatable discussion about the anxiety that often comes up for new folks in the DAO space trying to find their voice, and a heartfelt thank you from Luxumbra to the key Players that made MetaGame feel like home as well as a big thank you from peth to Luxumbra for all the support he has provided him & MetaGame. As for a final word of advice, to anyone interested in getting more involved: “Find something you align with and get DAO-ing it!”
