23: Tamara Winter - Tacit Trust & Caring Curiosity

Tamara Winter (X) is the Commissioning Editor of Stripe Press, where she exercises her taste to identify the knowledge and "ideas for progress" that matter most in alignment with Stripe's mission: to increase the GDP of the internet."Tammy" worked at the Charter Cities Institute and the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, which is chaired by Tyler Cowen. Tammy is obsessed with tacit knowledge and the illegible parts of the world that actually support so much of our lives, work, and societies. This includes taste, charisma, relationships, and a wide-range of load-bearing infrastructure that supports healthy and trustful societies, from small-talk and manners to hidden forces that prevent anti-social behavior and maintain safe places to live and work.We discuss this and more, including how she selects the ideas worthy of Stripe's audience, her unique career path, her refreshing take on agency, her standards for herself, reading and writing, and how she chooses how to spend her time. Above all, Tammy's incredible love of other people shines throughout the conversation.Full episode transcript with all linked references: https://dialectic.fm/tamara-winterTimestamps2:09: Taste, absorbtion, and influences10:54: Deploying your taste15:49: Ideas that matter and taking yourself seriously22:13: Aesthetics24:16: Choosing Teachers and Authors28:15: Charisma & delightfullness privilege34:59: Living a relational life44:07: Trust, social scaffolding, and small talk51:01: Erosion of social norms, low-trust environments, and load-bearing infrastructure1:02:17: Cultural arson and the dark sides of "you can just do things"1:15:44: The healthy kind of agency1:20:45: Tammy's N-of-1 path and who she aspires to rhyme with1:28:38: Red herrings of success and focusing on outcomes1:32:22: Assortive everything1:37:52: Personal and professional standards1:43:06: Journaling, great writing, and audience1:57:29: Reading & BiographiesKey Links:The Art of Doing Science and Engineering - Richard HammingOn Self-Respect - Joan DidionScaling People - Claire Hughes JohnsonHigh Growth Handbook - Elad GilVirginia Woolf on MontaigneAva on TammyOld Enough!Sort By Controversial - Scott Alexander (Scissor Statements)Scarf tweetTammy's advice to young peopleAn Elegant Puzzle - Will LarsonInteractThe Making of Prince of Persia - Jordan MechnerFrank Sinatra Has a Cold - Gay TaleseWhy not inquire together more? - Tyler CowenThe Common Reader - Henry OliverIn Five Years - Rebecca SerleWalt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination - Neal GablerUp from Slavery - Booker T.

How Revnets Are Rewriting the Rules of Onchain Businesses With Jango

This week we sat down with Jango, the creator behind Juicebox, to dive deep into the world of revnets—a novel approach to tokenizing business models and aligning incentives across builders, investors, and customers in Web3. We explore the shortcomings of traditional business models and typical tokens, and how the revenant model turns the tables by making your customers true stakeholders in your success. You'll hear about the origins of Juicebox, the journey from experiment to essential DAO fundraising tool, and how Jango's obsession with programmable business models led to a whole new way of thinking about revenue, loyalty, and transparency on-chain. If you’ve ever wondered how a modern on-chain business can sustain itself, align all parties, and drive collaborative growth, this conversation is for you. Jango unpacks how revnets work—think automatic, immutable, revenue-backed tokens—and shares practical examples, including his own experiences launching projects like the Banny PFP collection. With insights into decentralized governance, the future of open-source funding. 00:00 Discussing Juicebox's Accidental Origins 10:00 Token Fundraising and Governance Challenges 13:57 Token Incentives and Revenue Growth 20:22 Towards Inclusive Consumer Engagement 23:16 Decentralized Business Funding Evolution 29:38 Revnets: Launching Omni-Chain Tokens 34:47 Banny Revnet: DAO Cartoon Shopping Experience 44:26 Perpetual Halvening and Revenue Shares 45:33 Revenue Redistribution Strategy Evaluation 54:32 Token Loan Network Cashout Dynamics 58:45 Revnet Platforms and Tokenization 01:03:55 Debate on Token Structure 01:07:01 Exploring Tech Trade-offs ___ CastOff/Episode Discussion, here (https://t.me/+oy6j0NBQObsyZjEx).
