- UNTAM3D Member Spotlight #3: Elena Kersey
👋 Hi UNTAM3rs!
Welcome to the July edition of our newsletter. If you've been feeling a bit out of the loop lately, don't worry—we've got you covered. We've curated a list of the top reads for the month that will bring you up to speed on both within the web3 space and some foundational reading around AI.
🔦 #3 MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: Elena Kersey, Content Strategist & Podcast producer
🎙️ In 140 characters can you tell us about yourself and your work?
I'm a content strategist and podcast producer. I run a podcast agency called PurposeFull Audio and host a podcast called The Purpose Effect about women building businesses for good.
🎙️ How did you get interested in web3 or get started in web3?
I was interested in the opportunities web3 presents to help underbanked communities, to increase transparency and accountability. I did a mini-series on my podcast of women using working in web3 for the benefit of social or environmental issues.
🎙️What has been your biggest learnings to date?
There is huge power in community building. Web3 allows communities (or fans) to have a seat at the table like never before.
🎙️What best piece of advice for anyone getting started in web3?
Take advantage of any opportunities to collaborate. There is a feeling in the web3 space that there is enough pie for everyone, which is quite different to the walled gardens going up in web2. It may not be like this forever, so learn and test as much as you can!
🎙️What is a favourite book or podcast/ blog/ resource you think everyone should know about?
From the Blockchain podcast by Fame Lady Squad
🎙️What’s the one thing you wish you knew when you first started working in web3?
I'm not working in web3, but I wish I hadn't rushed into a crypto investment at the height of the market. It wasn't a huge investment, but it was a lesson in doing your due diligence the same way you would with any other investment. If you're buying because of FOMO, you're buying for the wrong reasons.
Will wallet-as-a-service mean that un-banked communities completely leapfrog traditional banking systems and go straight to on-chain e-commerce solutions?
