Starting as a video editor, Misanth joined MetaGame in late October of 2020. Having never been a part of a DAO, he wasn’t sure what to expect and was sweating when needing to talk in the community calls. Since then, he grew into the role of the onboarding champion, which turned out to be a natural fit for Misanth.
In this episode, Peth talks with Misanth about his life before MetaGame, his journey from quitting IT studies, being a tourist guide for many years, and struggling to find a “normal” job due to lack of formal education until he joined MetGame where he is now shining as the Champion of Onboarding - making sure others are properly welcomed & find their spot as smoothly as possible.
Some of the topics are:
The benefits of waking up early
The Misanth before MetaGame
Decentralized working opposed to classic hierarchical structures
The clash and the crossovers between hype and getting things done
The innovational technology behind NFTs, overshadowed by cash grabs
Ideas for a web3 community tool
Meta OS
“Honestly, I was looking for a way out of the loop. [...] In regular jobs, everybody knows their position in the company. And with that comes a lot of either ego or roleplaying. I didn’t like the attitude in general.”
Misanth came in hope of an opportunity to stop doing those jobs but stayed for the community and a sense of purpose. MG wants to build bridges between those enthusiastic about changing the current way of things and who want to improve and create things.
The episode concludes with Peth and Misanth saying that we’re all still figuring things out.
“All of this is really new. A formation of culture, I would say.”
“So, just jump in, don’t be afraid to try things, and give us feedback. And wait for the MetaOS!”
