AllBright x Ripple NL ASSET Event 1 (1)

Did you know? The global Web3 market is expected to reach a value of $81.5 billion by 2030.

When social media first came on the scene it wasn’t taken seriously as a marketing method. Fast-forward to today and brand presence across all social media platforms is a non-negotiable part of every marketing strategy.   

Web3 is currently going through that same cycle of apprehension and scepticism. Businesses don't know whether to enter the space, don’t see the potential its technology has, and don’t understand that early experimentation will pay off tenfold. We’re changing that.  

This empowering panel discussion will give the floor to three leaders in the Web3 space. From community engagement and crypto payments to UGC and gaming, they’ll give you their invaluable insights on how to leverage the power of Web3 to build the future of your business.  

It’s time to explore how you can tap into the power of Web3 for your business.

31 Gaylene Gould2

In this lesson, Gaylene will talk about her experiences managing stress, making difficult decisions and putting out fires. What is most interesting is Gaylene’s definition of resilience, “remembering you are human in times of stress.” She explains that there is a need to keep perspective, hold on to your humanity, and know, more often than not, we are not in life and death situations. So, resilience, according to Gaylene, is not about strength, but more about equanimity (calmness and composure, especially in difficult situations).

F5 Mika Simmons2

F5 Mika Simmons

These are the five ways Mika believes we can all implement in our own lives for a better future:

*Be committed* We’re living in a time where fixing things, finding solutions and/or rejuvenating things has become defunct. This has become possible because our throw-away society is heavily embedded in consumerism, over-consumption and excessive production of short-lived or disposable goods. It doesn’t end with products but also our relationship too. However, Covid-19 has driven us into interacting, and thereby appreciating the relationships most immediate to us. Mika hopes we continue this newfound commitment to one another.

*Release your shame* According to Mika, shame is something that can completely block us from being free and living our best life. In order for all of us to release our shame we need to do two things, the first is to acknowledge the shame we carry, and the second is to encourage honest sharing, particularly around women’s bodies. The more open we are, the less loss we’ll experience because we’ve then aligned “our hearts with our truest nature.”

*Understand the power of sex* Mika believes that misunderstanding and the misuse of sex is responsible for a vast amount of pain women experience. We need to self-educate, as well as encourage and support the teaching of sex and relationships in schools so young women and girls can empower themselves. 

*Eliminate divisiveness* Sadly, political rhetoric around divisiveness has been the most dangerous it’s been for decades. If we continue with these divisive thinking patterns we’ll never be one. To combat this, look to speak to people beyond your immediate circle who come from a walk of life different from your own and speak to them about their experiences and what they hold dear.
