good evening good afternoon good morning wherever you are joining us from it's a lovely early evening here in Boise Idaho for me the sun has been shining today I'm in a good mood I just got back from the gym I'm actually pretty happy that we started the space with my dogs if you joined earlier we're making a little bit of noise every space they seem to sneak in a little bit of noise so I'm glad we got that out of the way during the the intro music there we have a really awesome guest with us today we have the evolved camels and swerve is joining us and I am so excited to have a good conversation dive into some really good stuff you know I put on the title creating Community I had about 99 different options I could have gone with as far as a theme around this space man just chatting with swerve for a few minutes he's a remarkable human being and what they're doing with changing things up in the space and doing things different with their community and with their project I have definitely been taking notes and I'm really excited to kind of dive in over the next hour get to know swerve as well as the project and you know I've been telling you guys these new panda spaces uh we're not going to have nft projects we're you know we're going to have athletes and this and that we will but we've been really lucky to have amazing human beings that we can talk for a full hour without even talking about the nft project and then it's like oh yeah we do have an nft project this is another one of those uh guests with us today they they could very well not have an nft project and they they are so great as far as knowledge and wisdom and excitement and motivation that they're just a perfect person to have on the show and yep they have an awesome nft project so I I guess I've kind of done it backwards I gave you guys a heads up about not a lot of nft projects coming through here but man we've been so lucky uh just getting these first ones scheduled and this one just is going to be hard to top so I'm really excited about to today's space you guys I do have a giveaway up top go ahead and share that out evolved camels swerve if you want to pin anything up top it doesn't have to be a giveaway just anything to kind of get the people going in your direction already before we pull you up here and uh turn the mic over to you but you guys uh share this space out I know we're competing with some really big spaces this week I never feel like that's necessarily what I'm even going for I love those that are able to hop on live and I'll always have a giveaway to you know reward those that are able to to be here but as always I'm going to go ahead and post out a giveaway post after the space with the recording so that we can get the recording circulating and we have just an awesome collection of one hour spaces and this is going to be another one that we can add to the catalog and I'm probably going to start categorizing these on the website so that we can have almost like a podcast they they are they're just recordings here on Twitter so I think we have an awesome collection already and uh this one that I've labeled creating Community again we can go in so many different directions but I think I will start off with that kind of and and we'll see where swerve takes it from there but without further Ado you guys I'm excited to introduce swerve and uh swerve what what I like to do is just start off with an introduction of you if you can kind of dive in and tell us about even you know childhood stories uh things that you that turned you into you I'd love to just get a background on who you are and what you've been up to in life and what led you to become the person that you are now today which in my opinion is an awesome person uh so yeah I'll just let you kind of take it away and introduce to our community uh Who You Are yo yo uh first of all real respect thanks for bringing me on um hi guys my name is swerve at gervance worth Bramble uh I'm co-founder of evolve camels as you guys have seen so far really appreciate uh pandamania bringing us in to the space and bringing me on to this space in order to talk a little bit about sharing my story uh connect and just um I love this concept you know like spaces don't necessarily only just have to be about um just like oh yeah how are we gonna make some money you know like we want to connect with people we want to connect with um the people that we're investing with and that we're um spending so much time with you know and actually find out who they are so it definitely makes sense to start to doing that dive into it I want to give a quick shout out to Mike right now he's he's uh one of the uh co-founders of uh booze bears as well he's in the listener um it's DC uh one of our very faithful tribe members out here as well much love to everybody who's a part of the tribe and who just came out and wanted to spend a little time to connect with us and listen to our boring stories and such but I think we got a little bit of things going on um so actually what I pinned up uh were two tweets um just so I wanted to give a little bit back to some of what you guys have been uh doing if you guys came out here and decided to listen to us I mean like you guys got to get a little something for it you know so um the second tweet that you uh that we have up here pull up into the tribe uh that's our mint link So currently the evolved camels are minting um at .077 we have a 222 collection we're about 40 minted out right now um had a great amount of utilities Etc we'll get go into that a little bit later but just for now for those who don't know about it or for those who do know about it and when you gain interest during this hour space we are going to be giving everybody a special discount price um originally the the nft is at .077 that is .077 eth uh per nft but for this space I decided to do one of our drastic discounts uh because you guys are listening directly to me and for a short amount of time it'll be at
.027.027 for um an evolved camel and for those who know our stories for those who know what that nft offers to you is you'll understand it is a huge value drop that I've just given to you guys so drawing out this space the more that you guys hear know that it's usually at .077 and you can get it for .027 I would say get three and join our tribe Cavalry but um yeah you get three for the price of one um at least in in this space so a little bit about myself uh guys so my name is again uh swerve I go by swerve I was born in Long Island New York but I grew up outside of Philadelphia um I currently live in Los Angeles as a stuntman and actor I literally actually just got off of set yesterday um uh playing alongside Colin Farrell on a new Apple TV show so I've been out of it I've been trying to catch up a little bit um and just was getting my acting on a little bit uh yesterday um and the funny thing is that is that was my first role that I've done being able to speak another language uh which is Japanese and Korean um because my background is uh I would say well traveled I love going around the world I love uh seeing a lot of different places um as I said I grew up in outside of Philadelphia and I spent my senior year in Orlando that I came out to University over here in California I went to school for business entrepreneurship and I minored in Japanese and that's basically what took me overseas is I spent three years teaching English in Korea in South Korea and of course over there I was able to learn Korean so I learned Japanese and Korean and then after that experience I spent a full year backpacking and traveling the world now in University I actually got heavily into um uh into the sport into the dance of break breaking break dance uh and that heavily influenced my career path so in my first two years I was in heavily into gymnastics and all growing up I was always into martial arts I know panamania has a fun a big love for MMA um and such and I definitely grew up doing a ton of martial arts I Maine in Jujitsu Taekwondo and boxing those are my uh my my main uh fighting styles and but that translated actually a lot into breaking so in my third year I was training and flipping around in the university school rec room and somebody saw me and said hey you should join the breaking Club had no idea what it was I got into it and it was say love you ever since you know um I definitely was just fully invested in it it was it was like a fight without a fight um and I was always into like the Kung Fu type of vibe of like uh of show me your kung fu and I'll show you mine and uh that was what breaking was for me you know like you learn your foundation but then you develop a style all on your own and it was a ton of fun uh and I just super got into that so going to Korea for three years I was training and breaking and the the gymnastics Forum of it of of martial arts which is called tricking uh where you uh combine a lot of Taekwondo and high level flips and tricks uh a lot of which you see in movies like Ninja Assassin um uh Tron to you know like there's there's a lot of tricking uh available now these days um if you have an eye for it and so uh after I left it I went on my backpacking journey I hit southeast Asia South America and Europe and I was uh battling in competitions around the world for breaking um during that time and then after all that uh I finished all that by 26 and then I came back and got into the industry in LA in Los Angeles and from there on then I I've been in the industry for about the last seven eight years and uh I did everything I got in to dance into acting into stunts into voice acting into modeling um and fell really heavy into the stunt action acting portion of things um I've been in films my first big uh movie film was actually Ant-Man and the WASP Marvels Ant-Man the WASP um I doubled uh one of the leads on Jack Ryan season two in Colombia I've been in Dune in Ready Player one uh and I also we just also just won an Emmy for love death and robots season three uh Hebrew if you've seen the the golden woman and the deaf night I actually played the character the death knight uh that was fully me it wasn't motion capture they recorded us live and they painted over us so all the acting was was me essentially and so uh we just had the Emmys in the last two two weeks and if you have seen that or if you've seen into the spider-verse the director of that was Alberto miergo and uh he pulled us another Emmy win so um a lot of things have been going on for me in the real world IRL kinda and uh of course how did that relate to the nft space um I guess we can we can jump into that in a little bit I want to give up Animania the mic back for a bit oh my gosh do you guys see what I'm talking about like I can go so many directions with this space we could talk about uh food prep I'm sure we could talk about daily discipline we could talk about martial arts we could talk about break dancing and I just have to tell you swerve I I have a lot of things I'm not on any level I'm sure where you are but I went through like uh it was uh eighth grade we even did my buddies and I a talent show for break dancing oh we were so bad but we had like back flips and everything and um you know I that's funny you you did even mention that that I love martial arts so man I I just have so many things that I want to question and ask about but I do want to kind of guide this towards uh you know creating community and we'll we'll kind of take it from there um so that that is kind of where I want to go with all of these things that you've been doing in life how do you think you've been geared or prepared for the nft space and to do what you're doing creating a community well the funny thing is so uh if you guys don't know about our project the evolved camels was actually built from a rug pull um during the the bull market back in September the original uh collection was called the crazy camels and hence now we have the we've revived it and we are my co-founder Mo he pulled from the community of the crazy camels um who didn't want the project to die uh all because of the rug and Drew from us in order to uh rebuild this project and uh and just basically take over um he he pulled out applications and he made sure that we had a bunch of people who were qualified in the space in order to take over and my qualifications um were based in social media so obviously I'm in the entertainment industry and being an entrepreneur as I said myself um I've opened up quite a few businesses and one of them was social media marketing uh social media marketing agencies where I specialized in teaching people in web 2 especially in Instagram how to create curated profiles how to um how to build their following organically and um without Bots and uh just do it the right way and have like a really nice clean uh profile in order to engage and and bring followers in and then we also have my partners also had different Services which were if you wanted a quicker route you can we can do through paid ads Facebook Instagram ads shout outs Etc um to build their following and once we build up their following to around like uh to a good number like 100k 200k 500k or so then we would connect them with Brands which was my third partner um who was bringing them all together uh and so we worked with influencers around like a million three million or so some very very big names in the space um and of course so since I understood that that portion of of media I was brought on as marketing lead um which is again the thought process on how do we build a community um within this space now web 2 as you know and web3 are very very different and uh Twitter wasn't my forte at the beginning um and even in web 2 I mean uh even in the the bull market actually a lot of us came through from Instagram ads and then you know that it moved on to more just Twitter um right now so I had to really um learn it was a great learning experience for me and that's what I actually wanted to do I was looking to uh see how I would be able to onboard web 2 clients it's always been my thought process on how to that's why I joined the space in the first place to learn how to bring web 2 clients into web3 so this was a perfect opportunity for me to like really just learn the thought process about it so me and my other marketers we went full d-gen for a few months um went training went into understanding every project we were in hundreds of discords um all the alpha groups and learned to become like really experienced Traders and new and learn the ins and outs of what was what was successful what wasn't um where how hype was built how how it was faltering and of course you know a lot of this is just comes down to money num if you didn't have money it was a lot more difficult for us and we needed to figure out a strategy um because of course we came from Oracle we didn't have much many funds to pull from in the beginning so it's always been it doesn't matter web 2 or web 3 if you don't have money it's a lot harder to build a following it's a lot harder to build a community and you have to work triple the amount in order to to make it really actually work you know and we just didn't have that kind of capital which understandably in my thought point of view I think it's better you know like of course we all know how to how to make it happen you know like you pay for you pay for followers you get over 10K or whatever High number you do the same for your Discord you can hire people from the Philippines to be to pull up chat Bots all the ETC create hype create fomo that was the state of the market you know you just push and pump until you get real people who are seeing all this and experiencing the fomo of oh there's so much activity et cetera this is going to be for sure a win and then that's how a lot of people were able to get actual real buyers and sell out their project really quickly we understood all this you know but you didn't really create a community from that you don't actually have people who actually care about uh your project about your Essentials and that's literally one of the things that I was always uh just against I I felt that people were ingenuine and disingenuine about joining and of course all of us originally would get in here because we believe that our investment would Skyrocket up everybody saw the the Bay Area clubs and uh or the crypto punk you know and everybody wanted that to be their same experience you know not understanding that this is just like the stock market you know like you're gonna have only one apple you know you're not gonna have every company be that that Skyrocket uh Elon Musk to the room to the moon but it does not mean that that company is worthless it does not mean that it doesn't have a product that it can do something great for your community great for you you know um and so that's what we wanted to really work on is producing a great product for our holders and something that they would uh entirely connect with and uh it's funny that you mentioned again Community retention was our main motto was our main ideology and so along our roadmap Mo created something that allowed us to retain community and that became our MVP our our market value proposition which was the pawning system you know um the pawning system allowed people to pawn their nft uh and we give them East because the main problem that most people look at nfts are about your floor price that's your worth if your floor prices is low then it's a worthless nft if it's high then it is immediately given Merit as a blue chip and is an amazing project not necessarily saying that it's actually a good project you know like how many of these projects have had high floors and you've and they've given you merch that you had to pay for and barely anything else how is that a sustainable Mark like product within the or business within the real world you know it doesn't make sense um and that's why I always was like this is this is backwards like just because you have a high stock price which is your four price it it shouldn't matter you know like it's what should matter is are you able to use this product like I have this phone in my hand right now am I consistently looking at the the stock price of that phone in order to use it no I'm gonna use this phone regardless and it's going to bring benefit to my life and so with the pawning system we wanted to eliminate that thought process for the community um and we wanted to have their nfts always useful to them so they would be able to pawn in their nfts and get the eth in order to pay off Bank any kind of debts or to utilize for other flips um and just any kind of play that they wanted utilize within the space or without the space you know and it's something that your nft will always be useful to that and the thought process of community retention is that once you sell your nft you're usually out of it you usually leave the community you don't really care about coming back you'll check in from time to time maybe but usually you've left but if you keep this nft then you're going to be more sure to come back within the community stay within the community as well and we know people fall on hard times especially now you know so we don't feel that's a reason for them to have to leave the community and sell or sell valuable other nfts just because of that so the pawning system was made in in that thought processing and keeping that thought process in mind and we've outreached that and stretched that out to other communities as well communities that we feel are are valuable assets to web 3 and really pushing web 3 forward in the technology Etc so um we want them to be able to retain people in the space because the more people that we keep it within web 3 is the greater that it grows you know the the better that uh the web 3 as a whole is you know it's not just we label ourselves project to project holder to holder but everybody here is special within this within this space everybody is an asset you know either buying and trading or providing new ideas pushing uh other Founders to grow or learning from each other consistently and so that's why I we want people to be retained in this within this community change the thought process of it's just about greedy people and you're going to lose money Etc but no we're literally trying to change the world we're trying to push the next the technology forward and and make things happen really I love that those are some good thoughts and you know a lot of people are in this space to flip nfts or to make a profit and you made a really good point you know like how many people are in the car industry to flip cars a lot that that's definitely a real you know space within the industry in that in the Auto industry but how many people don't care about that and they just get a new car to drive it to get places to feel good to you know like you said the phone in your hand it's a tool and that's that's a really fun way to look at nfts uh to change that mindset of get into a project because you love it is are there tools are there utilities do you have an immediate value that you can quote unquote hold in your hand and I want to go back also uh you mentioned you came from a rug poll and I you know if I'm using metaphors building a project I could you know compare it to going up a treacherous path on a on a dangerous mountain hike but when I think about our coming from a rug pole and trying to do that it seems like it's almost a sheer cliff and I need climbing equipment at that point how would you how would you explain that experience so far of coming from that I just have to give you props on that because people don't understand how much of a challenge that is to gain people's trust back to prove things to them to not you know will you dive into that a little bit yeah sure holy [ __ ] that's basically what it is it's a [ __ ] wow like what the [ __ ] were we thinking why the [ __ ] are we doing that yeah right that's exactly what I was thinking is you you kind of have to be really daring take on that's a huge Endeavor people don't realize that that's you're taking a damaged totaled car and rebuilding it and trying to sell it make it better I mean I can't even come up with a good enough comparison you know it's it's hard and I that's exactly what I was thinking at getting into something like how what why I mean tell us a little bit of that process and how you how you have the guts to take that on well I mean obviously hindsight is 20 20. um you know I originally went in because like I said um I went in to learn you know and just learning from a project that already had a team it wasn't me starting from scratch um and having to to learn and build and such and though I've we have still yet to get paid for our nine months plus of work of consistent work which is I've always I'm no I'm no stranger to the startup um area you know space and it is what it is but The Learning Experience is invaluable you know um the the connections gained is invaluable and it all really comes down to seeing that long-term Vision which not many people have you know if you don't have the entrepreneurship mindset um or the the business mindset because I mean again think about the wealthy they usually don't think about uh time in the same time frame as other people do you know most of them think in five years ten year plays you know like if you if you're looking at so that's essentially what I was looking at and have been looking at this space as you know I just see this this area as something that is just inevitable you know it just makes sense the technology itself um for where things are going you know like everything is digital people are barely carrying paper money around anymore we're transferring everything through Sal and venmo and uh any kind of Internet space so yeah um I've traveled 33 plus countries and I've had to pay [ __ ] fees for [ __ ] all the time with crypto I don't have to pay anything I can easily transfer it it doesn't make sense you know the technology for it and then obviously nfts you're just making things uh that are verified around the world I buy a car a policeman pulls me over I can just tell them Yo scan my QR code you see I'm the legit owner of this vehicle my mortgage has these everything like ownership is going to turn into this into confirmable blockchain uh technology so we just need to um we're just moving towards that in that direction and I see in them five ten years that's what's where it's going to be and that's why we are at the advantage of being in here so yes personally of course the reason for me going behind this is to get behind it understand it so I can create more and more from it um and understand the process of where it is and where it's going uh but holy [ __ ] uh the community aspect was a [ __ ] crazy experience but usually when you are uh doing a startup you're not dealing with a community or breathing over your shoulder and in your ear uh all day every day uh with expectations you know you're usually coming out with a product after you've developed it but um the the benefit of of starting a project is uh that you do get that a little bit of chance beforehand to really think about what you're bringing to the space taking over a rug you're just in full on Scramble mode because you're dealing with people who are coming in thinking that you're the you're the project Founders the original project Founders which you are not so having to explain explain and then fulfill we fulfilled a lot if not all of the promises of the old team the old Founders on barely any budget alone you know um when they came in with their money they were able to fund it and then take the money and run you know we didn't have that we barely had anything Mo had to deal with a ton of legal um and luckily one founder was doxed and so that pretty much had us holding on to a string of hope to be able to get something in and and threats in order to be able to have them transfer over the collection to us and deal with a whole bunch of different [ __ ] you know um and so we're dealing in with stuff on the back end and half of it we can't reveal to the front end of to the community so we have to satiate their appetite and you know how immediate the space is um of wanting everything now and information now and consistently so yeah dealing with a lot of that was a crazy experience uh for the first couple couple weeks luckily during that time I actually got coveted um for uh one day but that I was supposed to go to London during that time to stay with my family for Christmas i instead got 10 days to stay in bed at home all day I only had one day of symptoms so I was perfectly fine but I was on the computer for that whole time uh just helping out being on the spaces and traveling so um and just talking community and working things through so during that holiday two week uh two week to a month period I was really able to put a lot of energy in that I don't necessarily know would have been uh if if we didn't have that I don't know if we would have been able to give all that uh that energy to it and and turn things around as we did you know but shout out to the team all the team members that you know some people had to leave you know after a longer period of time um shout out to Moe shout out to myself shout out to raving Lev balls and hungry you know and all the mods oh my God mods you are the greatest people in the world like I don't understand like there is not seriously every project founder that has good mods shout out to you big oop Super Beetle Siri bird y'all like like there's these are people that help your community so much and even people who came in later or have stuck with it anytime that you guys were of asset to US during this period in time we have the greatest love for you because that is a relief of energy that that we just needed in order to because we you I know as a project founder already know how much things go on the back end how many DMS that you're dealing with and Etc it's it's it's constant constant and we do have things in real life you know like this is not our 24th hour day you know 24 7 but it it sure has taken up half I'm still putting in 12 hour days you know um even now um and it's it's it's insane but any little help that any of that of our community can give us because it is Community Driven it helps a lot so honestly after the first month we had our members talking to other people for us first it was a lot of fun and then they switch it over and then any flood that ever came in our community members were the ones who were like not enough this is who it is these are what these guys have done for us like you don't come in with that flood they had our backs you know and so shout out to the real ogs of of the tribe um that really helped us with that because you know having to Battlefront every day especially with no budget no money not getting paid and working hour on hour on hour for for this community you know like you do you you do need that energy you do need that additional support to know that your efforts aren't just getting wasted on deaf ears you know so that's pretty much where we came through man that's so impressive and I I love that you can laugh about it and I'm sure there's been moments where it hasn't been that light-hearted where uh it's so true people people uh could take you know a behind the scenes look at some project owners and uh it is a business it is completely a business and people need to treat it as such and I don't know if this is a true Stat or what the exact stat is but at one point I heard something like it it's on average uh three years for a startup to see or turn profit um again I don't know if that's if that's true or not but the idea I think is important and especially in this space a lot of people get into this space because they did see the fomo bull market and they thought oh I can hop in and make a quick buck and I I just don't think very many real life businesses do well off of that idea I think nft projects are quickly adapting to reality because of the bear Market that you know these do need to be treated as a as a business that provides value that provides customer service man uh mods I could go on and on about the help I've received too it's so great to just uh create a good well-functioning oiled machine and people don't know the the work that goes into that um so I I'm really just impressed with uh the fact that you've got a whole team you guys took on this endeavor and I I bring this up in spaces quite a bit you know uh kind of comparing things to a fight just because I do like martial arts and it just so happens that you are a martial artist now this is a maybe an interesting question um in terms of getting up and going and what what motivates you throughout the day you know for me before I started the nft space when I'd go to train if it was training day man that was a good day that got me out of bed that helped me stay motivated I looked forward to it it was a sense of fulfillment and passion that I had in my life for a good decade where I I wasn't doing much art or or building Community like I am now when I found the nft space it has quickly become one of my things that gets me out of bed and gets me excited for the day the community especially can you kind of tell me about you know what what uh sense of fulfillment you get from this and on what level because you do some badass stuff bro and I just can't help but think that a lot of people might look at the nft spaces like how can you get excitement or fulfillment out of that doing these other cool things that you're doing stunt man like can you just kind of explain is there a sense of fulfillment and are you getting it still oh yeah 100 100 um the funny thing is my whole life has always been about pursuing my passions you know um my brother's a lawyer um my parents are actually for I'm a first generation American my parents are from the Caribbean and my brother is a lawyer I was supposed to be a doctor you know like you had that whole I was supposed to be a cardiologist um and we set up that you know hi guys I straight up went and was like I'm gonna be a dancer and you can imagine in the first two years of me breaking it's like you're not always good you're I was [ __ ] I was terrible and my parents saw me they were like what the [ __ ] like so we didn't really talk about my career for like quite a long time uh for for yeah for a long time um and of course I had time to grow while I was in Korea you know like I was an English teacher to my parents as most and then I was just traveling you know but all the time I was building up my skills and I'm not I was ignorant I joined uh into getting more into this dance stuff when I was uh when I was in my uh 20s you know 1920 or so so I already um I was already uh well understood I already knew the business aspect and I always grew up as as an entrepreneur I actually went to University to become an entrepreneur because I always had so many ideas on on things I knew I couldn't have a regular nine to five I really just was not built for building and creating other people's ideas wanted to create my own I I wanted to be my own boss you know and I had I originally wanted to be a computer engineer and uh go I mean I'm sorry I wanted to double major as a computer engineer and um business entrepreneurship but then I realized I [ __ ] suck at math bro I am not good at it so I was like oh after I got through all my calculus and I was like coding and stuff I did Ruby C plus plus et cetera I was like yeah it's not for me I'm gonna find a partner that has all that [ __ ] welcome Mo thank God that guy is here you know because he's a good game developer and I turned game five and he's the perfect co-founder for me you know like he really is the guy who who's who's learned so much and honestly again like we were just we've been trying to always consistently we consistently pivot you know this mint was is really based on trying to um gain funds in order to bring the smart contract um version of the pawning system to life we already did the beta for that and where we actually manually gave it uh gave off camels had people bring their nft to us and we gave them eth they were able to make great flips one guy flipped from point one he got five thousand dollars off of that you know so we already knew that the concept worked um we just wanted to make the smart contract version of it through this mint um but it takes money bro like we've been quoted like just to give you guys basic numbers you know like it's this is this is like not very cheap this is not cheap at all you know like you're you're ranging from like 40 to 60k for for some for some of the things that you're doing like 100k plus you know and it's it's it's of coming from again from like a no budget rug pull there's only so much that we personally can put in um to it so we do need um funding for this kind of thing uh in order to bring these kind of utilities but you know mo he's been grinding and he said [ __ ] it I'm gonna learn this [ __ ] so he learned and he became a full stack deaf and he's now here throughout this whole process he's learning to build our own smart contract building our pawning system building our metaverse and he is excelled in it and and like by the time we we get our bit going on you know like it's gonna be helpful obviously but uh to to have more more funds to help us move these things quicker but at the end of the day our [ __ ] is going to come out regardless you know like that's the the thought process that we have is we're always going to be here for our community for our tribe we know that there's a lot of Bad actors around there but we are really in the space to say [ __ ] that we're not doing anything like that for our community we're legit we're the real ones we're docs we're gonna put our [ __ ] out there and people are gonna know you'll pull up to La find me you know like you can put I always tell by travel like hey if you're in La holler at me message me let me know oh because you know like I take care of the people who who have been here for us and take care of us all that to say I'm I'm it's funny thing that's funny that you mentioned motivation I am quite the I don't like motivational videos I don't like motivational speakers I don't enjoy motivation why it's not because of them it's because of their communities I have constantly experienced people that use these motivational articles and there's like a YouTube videos on it actually and other things you know like of just this endless cycle that people use motivation in order to push them to do something that is not actually inherent in them they are using it as an excuse to consume all this material and go to these workshops and and take all these video courses and and post all this motivational content and [ __ ] and they ain't doing [ __ ] like I can't it it discusses it pisses me off like I can't deal I really feel you need to have this this this thing inside you inherently you know um and that drive has to come from within it can't come from anywhere else but within yourself and then you listen to that motivational content and that will give you your little Nitros boost to shoot you Skyrocket you off into doing the thing that you're already doing but the car has to move by itself you have to have that engine you have to have that heart within you to make it happen from the get-go because when the going [ __ ] gets tough [ __ ] all that [ __ ] you're not every day is fun every day can [ __ ] suck you know there's many days that I that I'm pulling up and I'm just like [ __ ] I don't want to be here [ __ ] I don't want to do this [ __ ] this is some [ __ ] why the [ __ ] am I here and then every [ __ ] time it is the best session of my [ __ ] life hands down I learned the best [ __ ] that I've ever done [ __ ] with all that motivation [ __ ] you gotta motivate yourself you got to put in the work yourself you got to do it and you gotta have your long-term goals within you and that's just essentially what I've had here you know in this space the same way like I am a Visionary I really see it I see the future I've tried to turn people into entrepreneurs my ex you know like she and I learned I'll learn real quick you know like you can try to put everybody there like they always say lead a horse to water but you can't force it to drink you know like I I literally worked on two careers um at one time but I realized it just wasn't inherently in them you know there's a lot of people that just need stability which is completely fine it's okay to have that I don't think anybody should knock having a nine to five it's just not for me but you also need to know what is for you and Excel within that for yourself push yourself within that regard um to the highest limits that you can that you want to or [ __ ] it watch football on Sundays watch your watch your video play your video games anime et cetera I'm into that as well you know but like just know where you're at and don't blame any other [ __ ] for where your life ends up you know like I that's the one thing that I don't need to hear I don't need any excuses none of that [ __ ] like where you are is because of what you are is especially in this space even invested in some [ __ ] it goes to zero [ __ ] that that's your fault you know flip it I did not give a [ __ ] I was in a rug I was like [ __ ] it if I'm in a rug I'm gonna flip this [ __ ] and I'm gonna use it to my advantage I'm always going to use whatever happens to me and make it a an advantage for me and make it a possibility and look where the [ __ ] I am now you know like I could have just been like oh well there goes that investment [ __ ] I got rugged I lost all my money but I guarantee you the connections I made the the where the place that we've been in this space the knowledge that I've gained is infinitely I have I have 10 10x the value of what I put in 20x if anything you know so and I'm gonna see that more and more in the future it's all of what you do with the cards that you're played [ __ ] all that [ __ ] we out here we doing it I love that mindset that's a really uh that's a mindset of abundance um and not not to reveal how much of a mama's boy I am but she always enforced that on a daily basis with me to have a mindset of abundance and to to celebrate other people's wins because you know who who cares you've got your own path you've got your own success and there's enough success and money and happiness to go around and uh I I really love a lot of things that you said but I do have to comment first on your amazing sound effect of the NOS I love that bro I love making sound effects I was laughing I was throwing up some emojis that cracked me up but it was a really good comparison and metaphor and I love metaphors too uh you know you can have the NOS but it's a boost you know you gotta have the engine you got to have the heartbeat you gotta have the soul there's there's a lot behind that uh before you even press the Nos and I learned that with the fast and free various movies growing up I know that much and I am just really impressed with your your mentality and your drive and no wonder you've you've reached success and everything everything you tap into so to kind of Bring It full circle I'd love to know because you gave me a few hints on some really clever things you guys are doing in creating your community and Reviving it and bringing it back and not only that seeing it flourish and uh it's almost like now you could almost not even mention it was a rug pull people would never uh think it or know it unless they've been along the whole time um but I think it's cool to talk about that because that that adds to the incredible journey and the the success but what uh what specifically are you guys doing to create community and have a good time and and help people stick around and maybe what are you guys doing different yeah so um of course like I said we've been doing our research in the space and I think that what we thought is we wanted to see what other communities are doing we didn't have the budget in order to do the hype marketing um for our community you know and I really especially within the industry that I'm at I believe the industry will always tell you what the people want from you you know um and you have to listen you really gotta listen to it um just like you said like now where it's in the bear Market we knew our story wasn't very unique you know we're a part of Phoenix Rising which is a bunch of other rug pulls that were taken over you know um and everybody has lost a bag everybody's had some kind of loss in there and we didn't want it to be just a sob story of like oh join our community because uh like you know like feel bad for us no like we understood at the end of the day it doesn't matter nobody cares like nobody really cares about it it's just an additional benefit but unless you're providing something of value consistently and next like people are not going to join so we wanted to create something um again for our community to to help them um uh want to join in and then the the additional benefit of helping out people who have been rugged and brought it back is just something that they can feel good about you know and also know that they're not going to get rugged again you know um because uh that would be really [ __ ] up um and so for us along of course with the pawning system we've made it so that we wanted to create a large web3 Network which is again connecting with other projects that have had that are pushing web 3 to the next level um connect with projects such as yourself pandemaining you know with a bunch of our of our uh other Founders that have projects that are here right now within the bear Market still working not trying to steal a bunch of money from other people but actually have real viable product and are really pushing it forward and so allowing us to share utilities um it has been the main thing bringing other people onto our smart contract when it's up and available for the pawning system allows for Community retention so we get to keep those projects within the space um and they and our community also gets access to their utilities you know um if it's uh if the partnership makes sense so we already are part pairing with 20 plus projects in order to do that but in order to get also the word out we saw um you know a lot of people do a lot of giveaway spaces um there are very big projects that go on but I also saw a pain Point within this space um that not many people are able to um not many projects are are able to gain more community members um based on going on to these giveaway spaces you know a lot of people will just show up because they just want to win a project or a pro a project nft or money prize a monetary prize but they're not really understanding the value of the nft that they're getting they're not really understanding the benefit of that project you know you'll go on to these spaces and there's 20 plus projects the human mind can't really even remember or comprehend everything that's going on um within these projects unless you're giving an amazing pitch um and so we created something that you that we really wanted to um push the next level forward and allow people to really understand the audience to understand what they're getting uh from these projects and and and just make them work a little harder for for these giveaways so we created the camel uh game show uh as the camel hour game show that we do every Thursday right now I've been doing co-hosting with digens and booze Bears um and we essentially made it into like a price is right uh Jeopardy type of game show where a project presents but the audience members that are chosen through Twitter picker two of them come up and they have to quickly answer the questions that the project has presented you know and if they get them right then only then are they allowed to uh get a prize which they are able to choose from they can choose from join the community and and getting the nft if the if the project pitches well and they've convinced the the person or uh to to join their Community because they see the value in that project um enjoying that project and they get the nft or they can get 70 of the nft's value you can choose that cash value if you're just like well I didn't really like the project or I didn't really care about it or I just I just need to Ether right now we'll give you the the cash instead you know or we have a mystery box which is also one of the most fun parts of our game where it can be either in a much better Prize or a very shitty prize you know and so we've been doing a lot of games uh based on that and the game show is has done three we've done three of them already for the last three weeks and each one has gotten better and better everybody has loved it um and that's the next thing that that's the the post that I put up here um we're going to be going our fourth one we are giving away 1300 in nft so join our camel hour game show set your reminders um through that link right there retweet out the space uh and uh tag free friends and we'll see you on Thursday you know there's I'm sure it's going to be something that is very different from what you guys have experienced we've had so much fun we're we're utilizing Discord playing games and pixel war and uh Crusades and there's a bunch of different uh ways to win within our camel game show um but you're gonna have to work a little bit for it you know we don't want to just have you guys sit around listen to presentations that you're not really caring about um uh but actually like being engaging and that's how we create Community that's how we actually have fun with our community um it's not just a sit around listening contest you know and and barely paying attention a lot of projects that have come on have found out that a lot of these audience members are just not able to retain information you know even between five minutes of presenting uh and that may come down to them or it may come down to the audience you know so we're trying to change our audience mindset and change that way so that people are actually caring about what these projects are doing because again the work that these Founders have put in it doesn't matter if you're a great presenter or not any founder out here that is still here in this bear market and trying to make something grow at they have my full respect and I believe everybody um should give them theirs you know so that's what we're trying to provide and create for that that's good [ __ ] oh man I I really I want to be on one of your game shows do you guys have so you bring up other projects also and uh could we get on that I want to get on that that sounds like a great time most definitely yes um we actually have a spot left so if you're if you want to come up on Thursday uh just hit us up I'll I'll add you to the founders Discord um and we just we're gonna tweet out the space and so we'll get you in a time slot um we're going from 4 to 7 P.M EST um these days so pretty much right around this time same way on Thursdays so um anytime you guys want to come through let us know and we'll just we'll we'll get you guys up there you know because people need to know the know what pandas uh Mania is doing what they're throwing out here right now yes sir oh that's awesome yeah I'll bug you in the DMS for sure I'm excited and man I really like that you guys are involving other projects partner projects I I love uh collaboration and you know I I saw the bull market when a lot of projects weren't collaborating and it was a meme time and uh man what a better what a better version of web3 I'm seeing right now where people are collaborating you have to it's it's smart it's good business and uh it's uh it's good for the community too I'm just really excited about your guys's project and how you guys have recovered it's a it's a good you know documentary story uh where you guys have overcome some stuff and are flourishing and I I'm really excited to get myself a camel and uh become a part of the tribe as you guys call it so I'm just you know we're reaching the end of the hour I and hour is just so quick but I do like to stay punctual and that way people can expect uh you know an hour and show up and get here and enjoy some good content and leave wanting more but I want more swerve already is there any way I know this is crazy I always do this live I put people on the spot but I want to do another space with you one time where we can talk about another theme there's so many cool things uh and immediately I'm just thinking about daily schedule you have to have an insane ability of organization to to live your life from the sounds of it but again a million topics I'm just really happy that you've joined us and that's just my way of saying I'd love to have you on again talk about more stuff you're a very interesting human and I think everyone here is really thankful for your time with us today is there uh before I I'm gonna be pulling a picker for a giveaway here while I'm doing that I would love for you to just take this opportunity to you know kind of wrap things up tell people again uh what you'd like them to focus on with your project the links up above just give them and again another reminder and again thank you so much swerve it's been such a pleasure man and uh I can't believe an hour already flew by that that just went really quick yeah I know I was like uh once you start getting into these spaces it's just like whoa two hours three hours it just goes real quick but um yeah definitely um again thanks again for having me on um and uh 100 we are definitely gonna do this again um maybe we can do some podcast type stuff I've been thinking about that remember when I said like uh the the industry tells you what they want from you and uh apparently I have The Gift of Gab so I've taken over uh uh that spot and and that's why we started this game show and I was really trying to push to do more co-hosting and hosting uh work uh and so I just want to be able to spread the word as I can you know most more the behind the scenes type of Dev guy and that's where I need him because I'm not going to be that guy um and so yeah anytime that we can talk uh and if it helps benefit anybody you know anything that I say if it can give any even though I don't like motivational speakers it's if I can give any motivation to some people to to stop to just start their engine um I got you you know and so definitely let's pull up guys again right now 0.027 0.027 to join our tribe I I guys were super undercutting the the value of what we're trying to bring to you guys right now um and uh but I mean for those of you guys who have pulled up listen to my story listened to what we've been talking on um here in this space uh I I believe that you guys really understand the work that we put in the value of our nft of our collection and what our tribe values really mean because um one thing that really stuck out to me and I think it was uh D James who told me about this Kearney you know respect to the homies who thought they were like people buy or actually it was dragon soul I think but the uh yeah it's dragon soul but he also told me he said people buy nfts based on Founders you know like they'll they'll purchase Because of Who You Are Made and they believe in you and what are the product um and if they can believe in you and uh especially now right now and who you are and what you say and who and what you stand for and your values then that's where the cell will come you know um and I really want to display that these are my values this is who I am you're joining a guy like right now I have my suit a tie up you know but we get wild we get crazy we turn up we got a little ghetto in there in the spot in our game show um and we just wanted to really have some fun with you guys like and the more that we can have fun with everybody um with within our tribe who joins our tribe you know like the more value that we're going to possess and give to you guys you know we're only going to be giving you guys things that we believe are of value to you I originally even got into the nft space because I just love the art and I didn't even know about pfps I got in because of the things I saw on Foundation super rare like artists like people um when I saw projects like that I never really connected regular like paintings and and regular art as much as I did but I was always into video games into anime Growing Up So digital art moving art I was like yo this is the coolest [ __ ] [ __ ] I need to hang this in my bathroom I need to hang on my walls you can have in my room like that's the kind of [ __ ] that I want that I've that I really Vibe with you know and so then I got into the toe to the to the frames like the digital frames type of stuff and now again because I pushed and and became co-founder I was able to use that to connect with some frame companies token frame and meta cell in order to get Partnerships for us and so now our tribe can have digital artwork frames within their household um based on our connections through our tribe you know for at a discount you know we've be we've jumped our tribe into three other metaverses we have a couple of uh Super Smash Brothers types of video games that we're putting our camels in you know all these in the future are coming and it's going to be epic and um of course aside from just our pawning uh vision and Alpha groups and and connections we're looking to really bring the best of web3 into one space into under our One Umbrella you know and all these projects that are connecting with us they all have something that they're bringing that are unique in a value and you guys are just gonna have to wait and see what we got coming next we've released about six um Partnerships as is and it's just gonna complete and continue to expand from here so again normal prices 0.077 which we already know it's kind it's quite undervalued but we understand the market as it is but now right now in the space 0.027 guys I don't really know what else we can do um to push it and again it's not about the rug it's about what we've created you know we have had nine months we've sat down we've revamped continuously and we're bringing the best of both worlds of all this web three worlds and you if if our art is anything to say about it you know like we had a guy from Disney and Pixar create our art down to the very details and again we put them on display with those on those nft display uh units and it looks beautiful looks lovely I was so happy about the the things that we the quality that we put in and so if you can check out the quality of our art and you see the detail that we put into just the art itself because our our our holders deserve that you know the things that we have next coming are going to be equally if not more of high quality value that's what we do out here you know so much respect to you guys thanks again so much uh I've animated for hosting and bringing us in and uh looking forward to the next one please jump in our Discord if you guys have any questions whatsoever feel free to DM me shoot me a DM um or open up a ticket I'm always there I'm always available it may take like a little bit for me to get back to you but I guarantee you I never leave anybody on red uh loud as big as happy ever in the world like just respond to the text you see it there come on now yeah you know so I got you guys so um definitely anything that we can do for you even if it's your own project you jump up in the tribe you're already one of our own you know like we take care of our own if we can help show you if we can take care of anything for you we already know how hard it is out here in the space so we're all we're all looking to help each other and push each other to the next level so that's what we're about

amazing people on and show them off and uh quick question you've done it yes appreciate it um I I personally have a little bit more time I don't know how much time you have if you have to run but I kind of wanted to take uh if there is any time like to take like a couple of questions if anybody had any direct questions I could probably do that because I know that we go back back and forth and talk a lot but if I don't again like I would just you popped a couple things for me so I know we didn't talk about is the back end but I just wanted to give opportunity if there's anybody that had like immediate questions for us um that could probably problem to them right right here on the space if that's okay with you hell yeah yeah anybody that can uh go ahead and hit that request we love people coming up and I I need to do a better job of that of leaving a little space because that's part that's one of my favorite things people coming up here so good good call Swerve you guys go ahead

big uh advantage in projects to have access to Founders um to have that kind of offer right I mean that right there is really cool of you to offer swerve to that you'll reach out and that uh that you'll respond if people reach out to you and that's I think important especially in this industry uh there's doxing and then there's an active doxed leader and I I think it's uh really advantageous to join a community where you see that so actively especially from a rock pole I don't mean to keep bringing that up but man big props so so cool I love what you guys are doing and uh yeah I look
