On this episode of Rehash we’re talking with Jonathan Mann, a songwriter and musician who is currently in his 14th consecutive year of creating a song every day. Yes, we also think it’s crazy. Jonathan began his journey of releasing daily original songs back in 2009, long before Ethereum and NFTs were even thought of. He would post his work to Tumblr and YouTube, but was always on the lookout for new technology to leverage. Then, in 2017, Jonathan came across CryptoPunks and began looking into web3 and NFTs.We talk with Jonathan about his pre-web3 days of making money from music by entering video contests, the early NFT scene, and how he’s managed to keep his momentum after all these years. We also discuss the rights and royalties of music NFTs, community building in DAOs, and how Jonathan’s project, SongADAO, handles voting. Finally, we attempt to wrap our heads around token-gated registries and get Jonathan’s picks for what NFTs will still be around 5 years from now.To continue this conversation and stay up to date with Rehash, you can follow Diana on Twitter @ddwchen and Rehash @rehashweb3.

On this episode of Rehash we’re talking with artist, writer, and prolific shitposter, Karsen Daily. Known for her NFT collections 27 Times and NFT Affirmations, Karsen first got involved in web3 when her former employer, Superplastic, dropped an NFT collection on Nifty Gateway. With a background in writing, marketing, and brand development, and an affinity for art and pop culture, Karsen quickly found herself falling down the web3 rabbit hole.After spending some time in the space, Karsen left Superplastic and jumped into web3 full-time. She realized the potential that blockchain and NFTs held for writers and designers to make a living from their creative work without having to use their skills simply for marketing purposes. Over the course of our conversation, we talk about Karsen’s artwork, NFTs, the significance of digital identities and communities, how marketing and brand work is different in web3, and how we can build more humanity into blockchain technology. We also meet Karsen’s dog, Pearl!To continue this conversation and stay up to date with Rehash, you can follow Diana on Twitter @ddwchen and Rehash @rehashweb3.

On this episode of Rehash, we’re talking with LDF, Chief gm Officer of the Open Metaverse. With roots in tech, marketing, and gaming, and former spots at Facebook and Reddit, LDF stumbled into web3 several years ago. She wasn’t initially drawn in by the financial aspect, but NFTs certainly managed to spark her interest. LDF saw blockchain, along with its decentralized toolset, as an opportunity to create new monetization models that could truly enable the ownership economy. During our chat LDF speaks on the future of work, the unique path she took into web3, and the roles that memes play in our lives, both online and off. We also cover the many potential use cases of NFTs, gaming, the creator economy, learning in public, promoting diversity in web3, and the open metaverse.To continue this conversation and stay up to date on all things Rehash, you can follow Diana on Twitter @ddwchen and Rehash @rehashweb3.

On this episode of Rehash, we’re talking with Abe Uccello, founder of Pris0n Art. Abe has an interesting professional past, having worked in tech and later serving as the Director of the Florida Department of Corrections. His time in these spaces gave him a unique perspective on how emerging tech, like web3, could be used to bring about positive change for incarcerated individuals.This led Abe to spin up Pris0n Art - an organization that helps those coming out of the prison system pay their legal fees through the creation and sale of NFTs. Around 30% of felons land back in prison due to their inability to pay these fees, leading to a vicious cycle that it’s easy to see but difficult to climb out of. Pris0n Art works with the incarcerated to help them tell their stories through art, sell that art as NFTs, and use those funds to pay their debt. Instead of coming out of prison with a mountain of debt, Pris0n Art helps to ease that process and give them a real shot at getting back on their feet. During our conversation we also discuss mental health, how DAOs could increase access to supportive networks, other use cases of NFTs, the power of composability, and more.To continue this conversation and stay up to date on all things Rehash, you can follow Diana on Twitter @ddwchen and Rehash @rehashweb3.

On this episode of Rehash, we’re chatting with Loop Crypto co-founder, Eleni Steinman. After working for the federal government, Eleni went to business school in hopes of starting a business of her own. Once she was there, she stumbled across the Bitcoin whitepaper and fell down the crypto rabbit hole, eventually moving to Chicago to get her foot in the crypto industry door.After working in the space for several years, Eleni took the leap and co-founded a project to solve a problem that she and her peers found themselves constantly running into. That problem was the lack of auto payment and subscription options in the crypto space, and the answer was Loop Crypto.Eleni tells us all about the goals and plans of Loop, from streamlining SaaS subscription payments for DAOs to making crypto donations and loans easier than ever and much more.
