GM Farcaster ep238 Friday April 25, 2025 with @esteez.eth /farcon-nyc

GM Farcaster ep238 Friday April 25, 2025 with @esteez.eth /farcon-nyc  Happy Friday From our ChatGPT Intern: Today’s GM Farcaster opens with Adrienne battling seasonal allergies while Prof triple-wields caffeine to survive tech gremlins and a jam-packed news day, including a proposed funeral for V1 Frames (RIP old yoink!) and the ever-growing hype for FarCon. With Coinbase Wallet integration, airdrop drama, the debut of the Tipn frame that lets you throw pennies like a polite onchain gremlin, and @barmstrong low-key memeing on Warpcast, this episode is basically a caffeine-fueled scroll through crypto’s weirdest morning show.  Thanks to our premier partners Octant and Lil Nouns DAO.

14: Alex Zhang - Curating Cultural Playgrounds

Alex Zhang (https://www.alexzhang.world/) is a cultural curator, community builder, and creative director. Currently, he's Chief Creative Officer of Powder Mountain (https://powdermountain.com/), a where he's working with Reed Hastings to create a globally unique ski experience that combines art, architecture, and lots of fresh tracks. Alex loves people and curating spaces and experiences for them: whether that means parties, music festivals, or mountain towns. He joined Summit Series out of school, throwing large scale events around the world and working on Powder Mountain, a Utah mountain resort the ownership group had acquired. He then joined one of the first social DAOs, Friends with Benefits (FWB) as Mayor/CEO, after being tapped by its founder Trevor McFredries to scale the tokenized social club beyond a Discord Server. He launched FWB Fest, an annual in-person music festival and crypto conference with past performers including James Blake, Charli XCX, and Caroline Polachek. Most recently, he joined Reed Hastings to return to Powder Mountain after [the Netflix co-founder acquired a controlling stake in the resort. Alex leads brand, art, architecture, and marketing. Blending culture, commerce, and "cool" is anything but a science, but Alex has made a career of it. I've known him for a decade and it's been a thrill to watch him continue to find strange intersections, blending worlds like music and tech, crypto and culture, and skiing and art. We talk about this, how to create spaces and events, living in the mountains, large scale art experiences, Christopher Alexander and Jane Jacobs, challenges in creating new cities, learning from Reed Hastings, and a life of deepening one's taste. I hope you enjoy and are inspired to life a more connected, playful, and present life. --- This episode is brought to you by Hampton, a private, highly vetted membership for founders.
