  • Daniella Rosa, founder of AIEA Golf, joins the pod to discuss her mission to create elevated sportswear apparel for women on the golf course. From challenges sourcing performance fabrics and finding factories willing to produce low quantities, Daniella shares all her highs and lows creating AIEA including but not limited to:

    ⚡️ The golf apparel market lacks high-quality, stylish options for women, and Daniella saw an opportunity to fill this gap.

    ⚡️ Sourcing performance fabrics and finding factories willing to produce low quantities were major challenges in launching the brand.

    ⚡️ Community building is a key aspect of the mission - creating a space where people can come together, learn, and enjoy the sport. Creating a strong, organic community is more important than having a large number of followers or members.

    ⚡️ Web3 technology has the potential to enhance the brand's offerings and create new opportunities in the golf industry. Incorporating web3 into a business can provide unique opportunities for community building and engagement.

    ⚡️Building an NFT membership project comes with challenges, such as the complexity of onboarding users and finding trustworthy collaborators.

    ⚡️ Collaborating with web3 influencers and brands can help expand the reach and impact of a business.

    ⚡️ The future involves integrating NFC chips into clothing and allowing members to have voting rights in the brand's decision-making process.

  • In this episode, Jarrett discusses three events that will impact Bitcoin price: the Bitcoin halving, the US election, and quantitative easing.The Bitcoin halving, which already occurred, will lead to a supply shock and eventually drive up the Bitcoin price. The US election, regardless of the outcome, is likely to create uncertainty and could result in a dip in Bitcoin price in the short-term. In the long-term, each candidate has different ideas about how to regulate and corral Bitcoin. Finally, quantitative easing, or money printing, is expected to occur in the spring of 2025 and could lead to inflation and a further increase in Bitcoin price. Understanding these events is crucial for understanding the future of Bitcoin's price discovery.
