Reflecting on BanklessDAO and Life | Bill Ford aka The Marvel

Today’s episode marks our 50th show since we relaunched it in February of 2022. Over these nearly two years, we’ve stayed true to our mission: offering a window into the people of BanklessDAO and the projects they are working on that drive their passion in exploring web3 technology and culture.Though a large percentage of our contributors are U.S.-based, we are a global organization working toward decentralization and exploring the potential of these tools.Today you’ll hear a bit of reflection on how BanklessDAO came to be, and the personal story of one of it’s earliest members.Guest SocialsX: https://twitter.com/McDermittMarvelTimestamps00:01:30 Welcome Bill Ford00:05:00 BanklessDAO vs BanklessHQ/LLC confusion on X00:09:00 Gratitude and the concept of "Itadakimasu" (いただきます)00:12:30 Two lost years00:15:00 How Bill got his moniker, and a lake in Idaho00:18:00 Formative years00:24:00 A life-defining moment00:26:00 Being a Marine in the 1960s00:30:00 On complex problems00:34:30 On kindness00:36:00 segue to bDAO contributors - Ornella, Above Average Joe00:39:30 Reflecting on the road traveled vs the road ahead00:42:00 I've got a song trapped in my head00:46:00 How Bill fell down the crypto rabbit hole00:53:30 Back to bDAO contributor discussion00:54:00 Women in the DAO - RedCrystalDragon, Steff, Trewkat00:58:00 Nonsense Twice00:59:27 Frogmonkee01:00:00 Pope vs POAP01:02:00 Ms. Purrple, Samantha, Jenetics01:03:00 Perchy and the Chippi project01:05:00 The Rug, Allyn Bryce01:07:00 Ed On, d0wnlore01:09:00 Eagle, Rotorless, Katriana01:10:00 John & Erin – List of DAOs and ELI501:11:00 iSpeaknerd, NFThinker, Links, Senad01:16:00 experience on Ombuds.
