#014: Gentle Tornado (@livehiped)

On VeeFam Sessions #14, I chat with father, husband, VeeFriend and host of the podcast, Hiped Hour Hour, but most of all an absolute force of positivity. I’m talking about the one and only Gentle Tornado. During our conversation Gentle and I talk about the beginning stages of his web3 journey full of giving, gratitude, and positivity which fittingly starts with being introduced to GaryVee by his best friend, Doughboy 7 years ago. The journey of living by Gary’s words ultimately came full circle in April of 2022 after a viral tear-jerker video of him gifting doughboy with his first VeeFriend went viral and took the VeeFriends community by storm perhaps serving as a blueprint for how this community operates. Gentle also shares what it was like to have such virality within our community and what it was like to have Gary acknowledge the interaction not only on Twitter, but also in person in their face to face interaction at Veecon. Gentle also shares some other communities he is a part of, how and why he started posting daily gratitude videos everyday since the winter, and about his newest project to spread gratitude and positivity in the world, the Hiped Happy Hour podcast. It was truly an honor to have Gentle on. Dom’s energy is infectious and I know he is going to change the world. I’m happy to call him a friend and am excited for you guys to listen to the one, the only, Gentle Tornado.
