The onchain world, like many fields, is filled with buzzwords such as "NFTs," "L2", and another insider language like "ERC-721," which can feel alienating to those outside the loop. It's tempting to use complex terms that resonate within the community, but these words can feel confusing and exclusive. Swan Sit, the former Global Head of Digital Marketing at Nike, agrees it’s time to move beyond jargon and communicate in ways that connect with the average consumer. Using technical or niche lan...

Customer reviews can make or break a business. One great experience shared online by the right person can attract new customers, but a single negative review spreads even faster, tarnishing a brand’s reputation. Artists face the same reality in today’s hyper-connected world. Every interaction—whether it’s how you respond to a comment, handle a sale, or engage with fans—creates a lasting impression. Negative moments often go viral, fueling bad press and spreading quickly. But while positive ex...

In the art world, success for an artist is often measured by fame, gallery shows, or sales.

When learning something new, getting caught up in the pursuit of knowledge is easy. But learning doesn’t truly matter until you put it into action. It’s not about memorizing facts or mastering theories; it’s about applying what you’ve learned, taking that next step, and turning ideas into reality. Learning becomes most meaningful when you take what you know and do something with it. Don’t just gather information—use it, build on it, and make it count. In the end, action is what drives change ...

Sometimes, a post like this is just a note to myself—a reminder to keep grinding and focus on what’s within my control. My instinct has always been that, even when I don’t know the exact path, I still believe it’s possible. Society often says that only the lucky, the well-connected, or the "right" people can achieve certain things. But I’ve realized, as an introvert, that while luck and connections help others, they’ll never replace the power of showing up and doing the work every day for me....

The secret sauce to staying ahead isn’t a secret and isn't about talent—it’s about the grind. Those small actions, the ones that don’t take any special skill, when done savagely, are what set you apart. Being reliable, showing up, paying attention to detail, and committing to quality every single time is the bedrock of success, a foundation that talent alone can’t match. Talent can open doors, but that consistent focus on executing the fundamentals keeps you in the room and compounds over tim...

That is the moment when most people give up. When the work feels too tough, the results seem too distant, and quitting seems like the easiest choice. It's that crucial point where dreams often fade—not because they’re out of reach, but because they’re uncomfortable. But here’s the twist: this is your chance. It’s the point where others tap out, but you can decide to push through. When you fight that urge to quit, you’re not just moving forward—you’re doing what most people won’t.

Nonprofits thrive on the principle of giving abundantly, often offering resources, workshops, and valuable information for free to support their communities. This generosity helps them build trust, loyalty, and a strong support network. Artists can take a page from this playbook. Offer something valuable to your audience—exclusive content, behind-the-scenes access, free downloads, or tips for aspiring artists.

Have you ever been caught in the endless loop of trying to make something perfect? Whether it's tweaking a project, rewriting an email, or adjusting the smallest details, it’s easy to get lost in the pursuit of perfection. Perfectionism can lead to procrastination, burnout, and missed opportunities. It's a trap that can keep us from moving forward and realizing our full potential.

I recently came across the phrase, “Slow is the fastest way to get where you want to go,” and it resonated deeply with me. For someone who’s always thinking ahead and eager to chase the next big idea, it’s easy to believe that moving faster will get me there sooner. But, the reality has often been different. In the past, I’ve pushed myself too hard and burned out, rushing toward a vision without grounding myself in the present moment. Now, I’m learning that speed isn’t always the answer. Slow...
