On this Episode of Rehash: a web3 podcast, we sat down with Kseniya and Nich, contributors at Meta Gamma Delta DAO. MDG started as a parody of sororities and has evolved into a grants DAO for women-led projects in web3. We kick off the episode getting to know Kseniya and Nich, and their journeys into web3. We discuss how MGD started and how it has evolved. We talk about the choice to use the Moloch DAO structure, pros and cons of using DAOhaus on mainnet, and they leave us with some advice on choosing an L2 or sidechain for your own DAO. Next, we get into the community side of things, discussing how MGD fosters its community (a community of mostly women) and how other DAOs can adopt some of their best practices. Lastly, since MGD is now primarily a grants DAO for women-led projects in web3, Kseniya and Nich share the process for how MDG distributes grants, how MDG gets its own funding, and shout out some past projects that MGD has funded. Kseniya and Nich were nominated by Zayi (@ZayiRey) and some of the questions asked in this episode were submitted by DAO members Zayi and Carsten (@carstenpoetter).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: a web3 podcast, we sat down with Spencer Graham, product contributor at DAOhaus.Spencer was nominated by JP (@jonathanprozzi) and some of the questions asked in this episode were submitted by DAO member Carsten Pötter (@carstenpoetter).With a background in economics and psychology, Spencer became increasingly interested in web3 when he began to understand how it could transform complex systems like healthcare and investing. He also has a great love for burritos, which just so happen to provide a useful model for creating healthy, balanced organizations.Aside from discussing burritos, we talk about other useful principles and models for DAOs, some mistakes they should avoid, and dive into the tricky process of decentralizing. Spencer also explains the idea of capture-resistant governance which leads us to touch on power struggles, resource management, contributor incentivization, hierarchies, and the potential of web3 to replace traditional top-down systems with flatter networks.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 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.
