LIKE IT LIKE IT NFT will be dropped on Royal🎶
We're sharing streaming royalties from the song 💖
This is a commemoration of Japan debut ☺️ and the first time in K-POP history 😎 May it be a chance to touch the music fans in the wide world 🙏
I just left my role at Instagram. 📸
As a manager I always have heavy feelings when leaving my people.
Though managers are people too and I needed to do something for myself.
I’m excited about what’s coming!!! 🤫💎
I’m excited to announce today that Royal raised a $16M seed round co-led by

The one I always hear… “Can you make it like Stripe?”
My response… “Sure! Do you have 5x the budget and timeline?”
Then I send them a link to those sites wayback machine and tell them this was what they could afford when they were your size.
I'm looking for a talented Sr. full stack designer to help run and operate a successful design agency to support growing startups.

No agencies please
Big news! Next week, collectors will begin receiving royalty payouts on Royal.
It’ll be the first time artists share a portion of their royalties with a collective of fans.
ask the record label? how much have you spent on me as a artist? then you ask how much have you made off me as a artist? i’m about to make my record deal public by monday just to let the world see what these people on!!!
Being the actual talent seems to be an under rated career aspiration these days.
More people should choose to chase the dream of becoming the best craftsman ever.
I'm going to lose 12 lbs this year.
I know I need accountability so I'm sharing it publicly. Anyone that wants to help me stay accountable or has the same aspiration hit me up!
Web3 2022 prediction. This will be the year legitimate web3 companies will break out from the herd. The novelty will wear off from the early adopters and real value will be required to attract the next segment of adopters.
I’m looking forward to it!
Another round of royalty payments are on the way!
Later tonight, music fans will earn $27K+ in streaming royalties from artists they've invested in on Royal.
This payout, our first in 2023, brings the total amount paid to collectors to $132K+. And we're just getting started.
Really enjoyed watching the

you did an awesome job helping to articulate what I’ve been trying to explain to my parents my whole career!
With all the shocking events that happened this year it’s good to see acts of kindness and support from so many people.

assets are being minted!
They are my first NFTs that GIVE RIGHTS IN MY MUSIC to the people!
We call them Limited Digital Assets (LDAs) because they do a lot more than standard ERC-721 tokens.
More detailed blog post coming soon :)
The difference between a Sr and Jr Product Manager. A Jr PM sets the pace and clarifies the details for the team. A Sr PM sets the purpose and empowers the best work from the team.

I just reviewed 100 design resumes.
I couldn't help myself but to put together some tips for folks applying out there.
Follow instructions. If I ask for examples of your best work, don’t skip that. It’s a huge red flag if you can't follow simple directions.
Self-awareness is
Starting a new service biz venture? Here is some free advice.
Be real with yourself on what you want this to be.
Step by step. Stack blocks.
Stay flexible—plans change.
Overdeliver - make em say wow.
Make space to think & plan.
Test overcommitting to learn your limits.

My theory is less startup founders are seeking funding. Creating software is so cheap now! Most startups would likely have a better outcome if they started with creating a small profitable business.
I think I'm late to the party here but I'm almost finished reading Will Smith's book "Will".
It's one of the best memiors I've ever read. It's so honest, funny and full of valuable wisdom.
For example, I love this quote...

It’s better to stay focused and execute on a plan than grab $$ wherever you can.
Don't confuse experience with expertise. Having faced a problem doesn't guarantee that you've mastered the solution.
Don't mistake expertise for wisdom. Having deep knowledge doesn't guarantee that you know when it applies.
I can’t wait to see a world where NFTs officially liberate creators. No need to sell your copyrights to a private investor who then turns around and sells something else to your fans/customers/consumers.
I’ve talked with LOTS friends lately who feel stuck in jobs they don’t love but are scared to make the leap to work for themselves.
Common reasons: tough job market, no plan, self-doubt, fear of not making money without a job.
Here’s the advice I gave them and honestly I'm
