Rhea Has a Picture of Two Girls in a Cage

Episode 42 has finally arrived after a gruelling 7 months of editing. Rhea is a forward-thinking, larger than life cultural critic and journalist with a history of throwing parties and getting up to various things in the ever-changing, forward-thinking Toronto nightlife scene. Rhea's online publication, cunt magazine, has been at the center of various speculations and comments since its inception.In our conversation, we touch on a number of things, including a photo. The photo in question in this episode depicts two girls in a cage. We don t get to this photo until the end of the episode and unfortunately the phone call is abruptly cut short. So, in the end, we find out almost nothing about the haunting image in question. We do however find out that the photo has to do with William Banks, who you may have heard of. One unanswered question stands out amongst the rest: Who are these girls in the cage?

How to Break Through the Noise: Get More Views, Engagement & Reach

This is a recording from "The Secrets to Content Discoverability and Virality" panel that was hosted at Onchain Creator Summit, presented by CryptoSapiens with support from Unlock Protocol, Own The Doge, The Creators during ETHDenver 2025 This panel brings leaders from the web3 space to provide insight for creators looking provide visibility and engagement for their content using Web3 tools. Speakers include: - Russ: CVO, Proof of Vibes - Naomi Metzger: Professional Athlete - Smoke: CEO, Own the Doge - Chris Eberle: CEO, SparkHouse The discussion focused on virality onchain, content creation, and the power of decentralized platforms in building creator-driven communities. Key Takeaways: Creating Viral Content Onchain— - Make content that is worth collecting, treating collectors as early supporters of a creator’s journey. Memes, Virality, and Community Activation— - Memes must be viral to remain relevant and that community-driven storytelling fuels their longevity. Lessons from Traditional Social Media— - Virality principles haven't changed—authenticity, consistency, and audience engagement remain key. - The difference now is creator-owned audiences in Web3, reducing platform dependency and increasing content portability. Cross-Promotion & Audience Engagement— - Adapt content per platform: - Farcaster → personal & community-driven - Instagram → personality-focused - Engage by replying to comments; make the audience feel valued. Collaboration & Growth Strategies— - Engage in deep networking and partnerships to drive virality. - Community-driven amplification (e.g., Farcaster, Base, Clanker) helps creators scale organically. Advice for New Creators— - Don’t fear cringe. Virality often comes from persistence. - Web2 creators are in demand—brands need content, so reaching out can open opportunities. - Consistency isn’t just about posting daily—it's about maintaining a recognizable style and personality. Underrated Niches in Onchain Content— - Comedy is underrepresented but could be a strong onboarding tool. - Innovative storytelling formats (e.g., meme-driven narratives) have untapped potential. Final Thoughts— - Keep building. Even if engagement is low initially, one person can change everything. - Own your content, own your audience. Web3 enables true creative independence. The panel ended with a call to action: embrace Web3, experiment, and collaborate to push the boundaries of onchain creativity.

Making your home a castle with Ben Corbier

Joining "Bet on Yourself" this week is Ben Corbier, a real estate broker for Engel & Völkers. Ben shares his professional journey with Fred and Derek, from studying architecture, to becoming a real estate franchise owner, to breaking glass ceilings within his industry. Ben shares how he fought hard to get to where he is as a branch owner for his luxury real estate company, and talks through his personal experience with discrimination and nepotism. In Ben’s own words, “the more you know, the more you can teach”. Based on his passion for professional development, Ben dives into his digital learning platform “RMBA” (Real Estate Mastery of Business Advancement). The goal is to share knowledge beyond his team for those interested in entering real estate or levelling up their skills. Ben’s belief is that working alongside people who are continually improving their skills and sharing their knowledge ultimately serves a team, as it reflects well on a business. Fred and Derek discuss revisiting RMBA’s business model with free content and larger in-person sessions, distribution through hired teachers, and further experimentation within the creative content. Naturally, Fred and Derek also revisit the conversation on confidence within this episode. “You don’t have to qualify yourself.” - Fred VanVleet

Episode 11 – Building at the Frontier with Dariya + Brandon of Layer3

Coach Coale talks with Dariya Khojasteh and Brandon Kumar, co-founders of Layer 3, about their origin story, the challenges of building in crypto, and the impact of in-person collaboration. They share the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, the role of risk in growth, and why speed and adaptation matter more than perfection. Through personal stories and hard-earned lessons, they offer insights on co-founder dynamics, navigating crypto, and shaping identity through action—and attention. 🔑 Key Takeaways: 🚀 Building a startup is tough—especially in crypto—but offers huge rewards. 🤝 In-person collaboration strengthens teams in ways remote work can’t. 🧩 Co-founder relationships are key—finding complementary strengths matters. 🌍 Crypto’s distribution landscape is unique, requiring new growth strategies. 🎯 Risk-taking is essential, but belief in yourself shapes how you handle it. ⚡ Iteration beats perfection—getting a product out fast is crucial. 🎢 The founder journey is extreme—highs are exhilarating, lows are brutal. 🧠 Perspective is powerful—how you see a challenge changes how you navigate it.
