Community for NFT Projects (Ty Greenfield)

"It takes a community to make it in Web3."

Our guest this week, Ty Greenfield (The Mayor) is one of the best community builders that I personally know. I met him when I was hosting the NFT for Newbies podcast. He came on our show then and did a wonderful job talking about building community for a project called Based Fish Mafia.

Ty is one of those people that if his name gets brought up people go, “Oh! What a great guy!” and there is a reason for it. The same reason people like him is the same reason he is great at building community, he focuses on each individual person in front of him and will spend his TIME helping them, no strings attached.

I think it would be easy with a show on building community to forget the most practical (and best) tip of all, truly care about people. If you are in the NFT space and don’t know “The Major” it's an honor to get to introduce him to you. Enjoy his insights today, and take to heart his advice that, ‘It's always community first.’
