On our first episode of Season 5, we speak with Sirsu about competitive communities and culture through the lens of esports. Sirsu is one of the founders of BLVKHVND, an on chain esports organization that leverages innovative technology to compete globally and build open and accessible experiences for their community.

Sirsu shares some of his experiences with managing the community at BLVKHVND, including what he has done to foster an inclusive and welcoming community within the confines of competition and how he has handled conflicts that have arisen amongst community members along the way.

He also shares his thoughts more broadly on the role of leaders or facilitators within a competitive community, how that differs from a traditional competitive community to a decentralized one like BLVKHVND, and some web3 principles and tools he has incorporated into BLVKHVND that he thinks other competitive communities could benefit from as well.

Finally, we chat about one of Sirsu’s favorite topics: culture. Sirsu undertakes the challenge of quantifying culture with words and shares examples and analogies from daily life to help us better understand the nuances of various cultural movements in history.

On this episode of Rehash, we caught up with recording artist, Ibn Inglor, to discuss the intersection of web3, music, and community building. Ibn has been involved in the web3 music space since 2021 when he launched a Mirror crowdfund to support the production of his EP, Danger Zone.

Ibn’s musical journey started during his childhood in Chicago’s Altgeld Gardens - a neighborhood he wouldn't leave until his later teen years. As he continued to pursue music, he also became interested in the web3 space and NFTs thanks to a tip from a friend. After taking time to learn more about blockchain and the underlying technology, Ibn decided to dive into web3 music in 2021. He has been creating and experimenting ever since.

During our discussion we talk about navigating web3 and all of its challenges as an artist, experimenting with new tech, the importance of forming authentic relationships, and Ibn gives new web3 creators some advice on how to get started in the space.
