Crypto on Mainstream TV, Web3 Magazine, Physical NFT Membership Club & More

Summer 2023 Happenings

Today, I am excited to share an update on some vibrant happenings in crypto and Web3. As the summer unfolds, it brings with it a plethora of new developments and opportunities within this dynamic industry.

Crypto on Mainstream TV: The Next Crypto Gem

Last year, an opportunity came my way – to be a judge on a Crypto TV show. I accepted the invitation, intrigued by the unique concept of merging cryptocurrency and mainstream entertainment.

The TV show, an industry first, was backed by a prolific production company and collective (Hourglass) with strong affiliations to global TV distributors. This assured extensive coverage from the get-go, providing the show with substantial reach and influence.

Initially I didn’t have a lot of information about the show, but something about this project resonated with me. Looking back, I'm happy to have jumped in!

The final production, now fully edited, has surpassed even my high expectations. I was present throughout filming, yet the end product is a nice blend of elements reminiscent of "The Apprentice", "American Idol", and surprisingly, "The Office".

In this reality competition, several teams vie to become The Next Crypto Gem. The contest is imbued with a unique touch that sets it apart from your typical reality show. Along with me, George (CryptosRUs) and Layah Heilpern were my co-judges. It was an awesome experience working with them. We didn’t see eye to eye on everything but in the end we got the job done.

I'm thrilled to share that the show will premiere this summer on more than 175 platforms including Amazon Prime, DirecTV, Apple TV and a whole lot more. It will be accessible in over 55 countries and translated into 13 languages, which will attract a substantial global viewership.

We recently hosted a highly successful event during BTC Miami. Additionally, we are excited to announce an exclusive VIP event taking place in Singapore on September 13th. This event will feature renowned VC funds, family offices, esteemed project founders, and other prominent individuals. I will be there at Singapore Token2049 & ETH Singapore this year speaking at both events. If you plan on attending or will be present in the city during that week (Sept 10-17) please reach out to me via DM on Twitter for a VIP invitation to our big event or various side events.

Web3 Magazine: Gen3 Magazine

Another unique opportunity recently unveiled itself, leading me to yet another exciting adventure where crypto meets mainstream. This time, it has placed me on the cover of an innovative publication, a first-of-its-kind in the industry – a fully integrated Web3 crypto magazine.

This unique magazine, both physical and digital, is crafted by the publishing veteran Mark Barnard (No.3 Media) to merge the traditional media format with the dynamic world of blockchain technology. It's a revolutionary piece that flawlessly intertwines the tactile satisfaction of a physical magazine with the quick, decentralized access of the digital world.

Intriguingly, the magazine is interlaced with QR codes and is powered by some surprise cutting-edge technology. This thoughtful design creates an interactive reading experience.

Physical NFT Membership Club: Club3

In the ever-evolving world of Web3, many are striving to become the digital counterpart of the iconic "Soho House". But, therein lies the challenge. The essence of Soho House lies in its physical community, a feature that most NFT projects, being predominantly digital, find hard to replicate.

Enter Club3 - a groundbreaking concept that merges the digital and physical realms. Proudly backed by renowned industry player Animoca Brands, and globally mainstream recognized Planet Hollywood, Club3 stands as the true "Soho House" of Web3. It is the first fully immersive IRL Web3 membership club experience by such major players.

As an advisor to Club3, and being in Los Angeles (the location for the first club), I'm thrilled to be part of this revolutionary concept taking shape. The launch, happening soon, promises a vibrant space where we can gather, network, and immerse ourselves in the intriguing world of Web3. I can forsee this becoming the physical “town hall” of crypto and web3.

That’s all for now,

Brian
