In this episode, Brileigh and Matthew sit down with David Phelps from JokeDAO. David wears many hats: he's a web2 founder, an investor at cowfund, co-creator of JokeDAO and EcoDAO, and a writer on Substack. David tells us why long-form writing is important to him, his elevator pitch for JokeDAO, and the power of the Guild + JokeDAO + Juicebox modular stack. We also learn about internet subcultures and David’s background as a film writer, the differences between JokeDAO and Snapshot, and how contests can help DAOs achieve consensus while building community in the process.
