About to fly back to Montreal. First leg of BD + PR tour done. What an insane 15 day sprint: Tenerife, Cannes, Torino. Network execs, buyers, studios, directors and creators. I'm absolutely destroyed, but energized. Every day is a 14 hour shift when you're on the ground min-maxing the opportunities. The Buzz we got at MIPCOM specifically led me into many rooms I'd've wished for years ago. @Claynosaurz & $HEEBOO coded, we live and breathe chasing big ideas and, eventually, having a massive impact.

I haven't taken much, or any really, time to digest everything that's happened in the last few months. (I realize I didn't even tweet a big message about Prime Video and what our content going up on really meant to me, as a person, having gone through so much shit in this space and being perpetually in startup and defence mode.) I don't celebrate wins much, it's always what next, what now, and how do we go even bigger? You go as high as the bar you set. But holy shit, we've achieved things. Web3 is an incredible place. It's noisy, yes, but it's a place for dreamers, and by extension, crazy people that have a pulse on the future other's can't quite discern yet. It's punk and counter culture. We were told so often that "we can't do this" "this isn't gonna work" and "I don't get it". Because it's unfamiliar territory, and that's uncomfortable for bystanders. Being a founder is all about leaning into discomfort, welcoming the trials, and leveling up. It's much easier when you have a die-hard community that begins to see the light and believes in your mission. We've done insane things at @Claynosaurz. We will continue to do insane things at Claynos. We've challenged a status quo. And we will be a best-in-class community-driven collectibles entertainment brand for the digital age. In just a day, the ecosystem has supported us in ways I don't even know how to react to right now. Over $1.1m to get this next adventure started. Your belief in us is fuel. Thank you, over and over. There is no finish line, and I think you know that about us. You better believe we will do incredible, industry shifting things with HEEBOO. I am so turbo bullish on the possibilities that platform will create, and our trajectory. I am so bullish on the creator economy, because we live it ourselves, it's our story, in a way that's much more intimate and aligned, and that is where the future goes when legacy companies are dis-intermediated. There is no Hollywood if it does not monopolize artists, fans and creators: there are simply content & entertainment creators. And they go wherever tf they choose. And they will build fan constellations as a moat. And those fans will also be builders, ambassadors, enjoyers, collectors, buyers, sellers, ideators. Participants. And that deserves alignment. That will be the only way forward. And that is the great promise of web3. A redistribution of power. Higher.
