Joseph Jaffe is Not Famous

I was excited to mint one of the TribeX NFT’s on launch. And then the unthinkable happened. 400 ETH stolen from the minting wallet of the founders. I immediately listed my NFT on OpenSea because I just did not have the energy to go through the whole FUD and rug broken record again. Instead of the founders disappearing, giving up, going dark and/or throwing in the towel, these founders stayed and f...

Let me be clear. You WILL regret not listening to this episode with the very famous Daniel Pink. As you may have surmised, we’ll be talking about regret, namely why regret makes us human, why regret makes us better and why regret clarifies what we value. Daniel’s new book is called “The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward.” Also, he’ll be keynoting at Joe Pulizzi’s inaugural cex...

What I really love about this new world of Web3, creator economy, social tokens, NFT’s and the Metaverse is how it has brought together so many disparate, diverse and different groups of people who are all connected by the same set of beliefs, ideals and vision: we is greater than me. On this episode, I had the pleasure of welcoming Allie Macpherson, better known as Alliestrasza. I’ll meet her at...

I did a double take when inviting today’s guest, Luria Petrucci onto the show. It was a case of deju vu all over again as in, “have we not met before?” Actually we’ve never met, but then I realized the "event" I was referring to was Geek Brief TV and the person – or character – was Cali Lewis. Woah, as Keanu would say. Today at 1pm EDT, we'll discuss virtual events and expanding your reach and mov...

I had the pleasure of being on the same panel with the guest on this episode, Michael Margolis, in Clubhouse. It was a no brainer to invite him onto the show. We discuss phase shift narratives, facts versus frames, corporate auto-immune disorder and movie plots! How awesome does that sound? Have any questions for Michael or just want a shoutout on air? You can potentially ask your questions live o...

This episode features NFT Fridays with artist and designer, Ali Sabet. I’ve been fortunate to buy into his incredible NFT art and he is just get started in terms of playing at the intersection of art and technology. We discuss Web3 opportunities, possibilities and why it’s so important to retain the ultimate humility when it comes to declaring expertise in this nascent arena. Oh and Hyper-Effectiv...

When I look at Zoe Scaman’s credentials, which include Naked Communications and Droga5, I expect nothing short of a bodacious conversation (that’s the name of her consultancy!) Zoe recently published an in-depth look at 'The Future Of Fandoms', as well as a whitepaper on the future of the creator economy. We discuss that, as well as new models for talent and bringing risk-taking and experimentatio...

I’m so excited to welcome and the one and only Baratunde Thurston on the show. Baratunde and I are both legends. He in his own time; me in my own mind! He is Executive Producer & Host of How to Citizen, and Founding Partner of Puck. In this episode we discuss how to make Web3 regenerative, investing in ourselves, climate change AND composting. Phew! Join us! =======================================...

I'm thrilled to be partnering with Joe Pulizzi and Brian Clark on their inaugural CEX (Creator Economy Expo), May 2-4 at the Arizona Grand Resort in Phoenix, AZ. During the month of April, I'll have several of their keynote speakers on Joseph Jaffe is not Famous, where I'll get to know them a little better and also tease them to share some "alpha" on their upcoming talk. On this episode, I have Ja...

We hear a lot about We > Me as it relates to the Web3 space, but truly it is so much bigger when we zoom out and look at the bigger picture as citizens; as humans; yes, even from a business standpoint. In this incredible interview with author of Lead with Me, Simon Mainwaring and I discuss everything from Ukraine to Climate Change to Conscious Capitalism to Naked Kangeroos. You will NOT want to mi...

Are you a good girl? Let me rephrase, have you been brainwashed into accepting your role as a good girl? Well, if you’re ready to make the move from good girl to bad bitch, then you’re in luck because Lisa Carmen Wang, founder of the Bad Bitch Empire is my guest on this episode. In addition, we’ll talk about personal branding, beanie babies, frozen eggs and late-night munchies (uh, not all connect...

Today is a good day. Why? Because Renee Bigelow is joining me to discuss customer journeys, customer experience, employee experience, the great resignation…and actually how it’s all combining in what she refers to as “work experience.” It makes complete sense to me. I think she’s onto something! I really love conversations about the evolution of marketing in general, but especially in 2022 IYKWIM...

There are real life angels walking amongst us and one of them is Maddy Bergen. Maddy saw a gap in the NFT ecosystem for entrepreneurs and decided this would be the perfect place to create an initiative to help female founders, which is how Angel Alliance was formed. The collection drops TOMORROW! Get the “alpha” on the vision, mission, roadmap and manifestations at 1pm ET. We’ll also discuss Impos...

I kind of love the part about my show where I just happen to see a random tweet at 5am and end up purchasing every single piece in an art collection thinking I’ve snapped up a bargain, only to find it’s an open edition…but who cares, I love the art and I love the artist. So I tweet about it, she responds with such gratitude and now she’s coming on my show at 1pm EDT today! You following all of thi...

You’re going to be sick and tired of hearing the word “content” on this show over the course of the next several months … starting with this episode with James Scherer. …but here’s the thing: you shouldn’t be. Content and content marketing lives at the epicenter of relevance and resonance and arguably is the red thread that connects Web 1 with Web 2 and yes, even Web 3. Have any questions for Jame...

Last week I had the privilege of launching my new project, Alpha Collective, a premium community that helps its members unlock the value and opportunities in the business of Web3. On Tuesday at 1pm EDT, I’ll sit down with my fellow founders, Faith James, Greg Verdino and Jason Maestas, as well as Advisors, Gregarious Narain and (Brian) Fanzo. We’ll talk about the genesis or origin story behind the...

She has the best last name and true to the name, I’m buying. Actually Lisa is releasing her $FEM coin on Rally.io this week and I’m already a buyer (rally.io/creator/FEM). (With disclosure, I have the $JAFFE coin on rally.io, but you should already know that) At 1pm EDT, Lisa and I discuss everything from the male:female wage gap to imposter syndrome to Web3 burnout to returning jewelry to David Y...

I’m breaking my rules today at 1pm EDT when I welcome the newly retired Matt Szczur and the still active Drew Cohen onto the show to celebrate the imminent launch of Meta Athletes. To be fair, they are super doxed, I will own multiple tokens and as far as the launch is concerned, they were meant to have launched already, but smartly and strategically pushed pause following one rug too many in the...

Tom Webster is the Oracle of Digital Audio. There I said it. Today at 1pm EDT, we’ll be discussing everything digital audio – from podcasting, audiobooks, streaming audio to everything else that goes in your earballs. Maybe not earwax though. His appearance is right before the release of Edison Research’s Infinite Dial 2022, so maybe we’ll get some alpha? See what I just did there?! Have any quest...

How does a Guyanese CPA from a big 4 accounting firm become a rapper and hip-hop artist? I don’t know the answer but I’ll find out at 1pm EDT today in a VERY SPECIAL EPISODE of Joseph Jaffe is not Famous. It’s LIVE on-site at SxSW in Austin. It’s the first time I’ll be doing a show “on location” and I’ll be using nothing more than my Macbook Pro. No fancy mixing board, microphone, camera or lighti...

Manny Cabo has a voice for a radio and a face for TV. He’s the whole package. A proper Rockstar. Actually he was ON The Voice and got a rare 4-chair turn. These days, I hang with him in the metaverse and to be honest, I'm wondering if he’s really a closet philosopher. Appropriate given it’s Wisdom Thursday and our resident philosopher, Tom Morris in the house! On this episode of Joseph Jaffe is No...

Dr. Ingrid Murra is a mission-driven entrepreneur and orthodontist passionate about democratizing access to confidence by way of smiles.
