Hosting a networking mixer & kickback as a closing party to TODAY 10/20/24 with my brands & + some support from — if you’ve not been to one of these superconnector events I highly suggest you make this your first… In a world where social media used to bring people closer together, now it divides and pushes up apart more than ever. The only way to cut the static, beat the algorithms and break through the noise is literally going to IRL experiences and activations. So I produce these events globally adjacent to leading conferences, summits and music festivals I’m already an Official Partner, Host/Speaker or DJ at, then bring together who I feel is the top 20% of that audience and make it 100% of mine in a safe, unique, inclusive and super dope environment so you can all make the most of your time, money and social meters vs yelling over annoying DJs or waiting in unnecessary lines for overpriced food & drinks after already paying a cover. 90% of my events have been free entry, drinks & food from start to finish. 100% of my events have had an equal balance of men x wmn per stage or program. Annnd nothing I’m doing is really without the intention of giving you all the most enjoyable experiences possible at my functions from warehouse rave to educational workshop to pop-up dinner to fashion show. Anyways —- next post will recap Seoul, Singapore & Tokyo as well as reveal tons of amazing future things. Don’t be a stranger, slide tmrw if you’re free or keep me in those hats in rooms I’m not in for opportunities I’d otherwise miss. Love & appreciate all y’all LINK IN BIO to rsvp or just pull up.

Sooo between all my DJ sets, Parties and Speaking gigs, I'm featured in a lot of press this week, I believe 4 articles total, one of the articles is in The New York Times ... Talking about cryptocurrency and the meme-coin craze. Much like the NFT one we saw back in 2020-2022.

What's interesting about emerging tech and innovation is you typically only hear about the sensationalized, exaggerated, unnecessarily LOUD messaging around this stuff. You hear about the negative stigmas that are as easy to play off of as comic routines and the typical satire. Then you hear the doom and gloom stories, and then of course the opportunists, grifters, thieves that exploit with predatory behavior, manipulative tactics and malicious financial tools (Which mindfully exist in almost every f*cking industry). You have to really move a certain way and maintain your integrity, ethics, character and have a lot of grit to be even remotely tolerant or successful at the intersection of tech and finance... Before getting too deep, i'll pull back and just say long story short - i'm happy with my "positioning" and opportunity to share knowledge, education and experience by sharing the benefits of these revolutionary tools in this digital renaissance to build a better tomorrow today. I'm genuinely here for all the right reasons and advising for and consulting on projects that are truly looking to help solve some socioeconomic and geopolitical issues that are in alignment with my personal interests of helping women, youth, elderly, animals, children and the environment we all have to share.

That said, if you want to take a minute to check this out, feel free... annnd if you're around Seoul, Bangkok, Singapore or Tokyo in September and want to link up or have someone I should meet or somewhere I should go, please don't hesitate to make an intro.

Til next time :)

One of the wildest, most scam-ridden corners of the cryptocurrency industry — memecoins, which are rooted in internet memes — has roared back.

A few years ago in 2020, I embarked on a new journey into the unknown that I didn’t know would change my life seemingly forever. It was peak pandemic, live events were dead.. I was being asked to produce drive-in shows for artists like Future, all the talent I was repping couldn’t perform, the venues I was booking had to close. All my people i’d hire for Photo/Video, Sound, Security, Lighting, Door, Bar & Cleanup were also out of work. I was selling QR Code Setups & Paperless Menus, Delivery Services, White-Label To-Go Cocktails & even subcontracting patio builds. Not to mention casually ending up sourcing official N95 PPE gear for schools & hospitals + creating a 30 page resource doc w/a friend to provide support for those navigating the turbulence. Somewhere in this timeline I started learning how to trade stocks & crypto ( don’t worry, i’m still trash at it ) & literally round-tripping a couple dozen opportunities to have generational wealth. Anyways, throughout this time I pivoted much like everyone & started to build a beautiful ecosystem in shark infested waters. I knew very little of the tech & finance world, but started to get my feet wet through the Clubhouse platform. Where I ended up educating people almost daily on everything I knew from Art, Music, Fashion, Events, Marketing, Branding & eventually Tech. While I was learning daily, I was also teaching, which resulted in me becoming a key opinion leader in a fast-paced emerging tech space. This lead to me building one of the largest communities on the platform for these conversations at the time. Which then resulted in a knock from Twitter asking me to be their expert in Crypto & do the same on their competing app (Spaces). When we were back outside, I found myself surrounded by a whole different demo from Bitcoin Conference to NFTNYC of which I started climbing from Speaker to Moderator to Conference Host to Keynote & now i’m happy to announce, I’ll have my own stage at this years conference under my NewFriendshipTech brand which in 2 years has done some remarkable stuff.

Anyone have a brand or business they want to put on stage in front of 5,000 people? I'm getting an Official Stage at NFTNYC2024 in April and also throwing an afterparty.

The conference serves all levels of emerging technology and the adoption of it across multiple industries we all work and play in. Ranging from Art, Music, Fashion, TV/Film and Entertainment, Sports, Medicine, Events, Transportation, Hospitality, Real Estate and more.

Leaving my deck below, if you've got any questions feel free to reach out.

Whether Sponsor, Investor, Vendor etc.

Never sure if this things on because the algorithm is crazy, but i'm actively looking for new opportunities in Marketing, Branding, Business Development, Brand Partnerships, Creative Dir. and Strategy, Consulting, Advisory, Event Production, Artist Development, Web/Graphic Design, Speaking Engagements, Hosting/DJ'ing, On-Air Talent Correspondent and more.

✌️ Will be in Vegas this week for looking for unique projects, prospects and innovations that move the meter, but feel free to tap in if you wanna work.

Truly don't know how I've withstood 10 years of working for myself by myself, but grateful for all the clients and trust along this journey.

🥳 Birthday Reminders are one of the few things this site is still good for. None the less, if you’re not on my www.Instagram.com/eric.spiv.is.ur.plug or Twitter.com/EricSpivak or my mailing list from www.urconduit.com/about I don’t love you any less 🙏 thanks for all the birthday wishes. This month in particular has given me whiplash and been crazy highs and lows in a huge way. Looking forward to ending the year on the winning side of it all.

Appreciate any and all of you who’ve supported my journey and kept my name in rooms I’m not in. There’s no amount of kudos and thanks I can give that’d be commensurate to the amount of love I have for those who keep me connected and abundant.

🧠 Working in and around the tech industry 💻 the last 3 years after literally spending my entire life deeply immersed in art, music, fashion & all things culture is still such a trip to me… I go to these offices, studios and campuses with excitement, bright eyed and bushy tailed ready to be blown away only to have that quickly turn into disappointment bc there’s a lack of all the things I love... I truly geek out over cool s**t ranging from architectural design and beautiful patterns, textures and color palettes to stupid little things like efficient placements of hooks, trash bins or blowdryers in bathrooms… This includes the music in a lobby or elevator and even the color tones / temperature. It all comes to User Experience Design, Planning, Conscious Creation and more. It’s really why I’ve done events for 15 years, I get to express myself across so many mediums for thousands of people to enjoy... This month while only halfway through it, has been a solid reminder that there’s never a dull moment when you’re surrounded by artists (and one yourself, this stuff genuinely heals people) 🎨 Anywho, not here to harp or bang on any industry, and just want to spread some appreciation for all of those around me who inspire me and include me in your beautiful experiments and journey. This month I got to Film, Edit, Photograph, Paint, DJ, Rap, Produce, Make Shoes & Shirts, Mentor a group of kids & a few seniors all while supporting some of my favorite people, thanks to you. It’s always a privilege and opportunity to touch a paintbrush, microphone and be on stage. Never take it for granted, the world is your canvas, embrace how much room you have to create and don’t fall prey to social pressures that get reinforced by social media & people who have no clue what is going on in your life outside of the snippets you choose to share. 📣 💗 sent with love. 😃

Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt.
F*ck Everything And Run.
False Evidence Appearing Real

I feel like the world is in a weird place with people suffering silently with a ton of depression and codependency that was accelerated through Covid, Gig Economies & Remote Work. Which all seemed like a smart alternative until you realize the value of human connection in social settings being healthy (if that atmosphere has a conscious design and your head of culture actually understands what is). The speed to dopamine from social media doesn’t hit the spot bc your audiences are isolated and out of sight is out of mind, killing your engagement, awareness and adoption of your work. It’s an audience, not a community, and a very filtered one at that... All this to say, stimulate your friendships and check in on people you care about.. Just bc you haven’t heard or seen them in awhile doesn’t mean they’ve stopped working on their goals & dreams either 😉

3 Wks backlogged on content but the enthusiasm and excitement is still the same... Something I did before bouncing to DJ & Speak in NYC that really warmed my heart and made me proud was my event at w/ .eth & featuring a handful of amazing people. The emphasis on education, culture and opportunity to learn from shared experiences is really unlimited. The stories told, knowledge shared & gems dropped here were really valuable & inspirational to everyone in attendance, and my inbox again — was slammed with inquiries for “where do we find more of these types of events”. I’ll share a link to the recordings so everyone can benefit once I figure out how to effectively edit multicam & caption. Buuuut yeah, I’m loving how much impact this brand has produced in such a short amount of time with literally zero resources. I keep talking future this and that with people around my bigger picture goals (2028) which is essentially a 5 year plan, and it really includes anyone contributing to the growth, expansion and extension of this brand, becoming an active participant and contributor to a journey they’re going to be really amazed to look back on when I bring it to its future state… in the meantime, just wanna thank all of you for the continued support, speakers, performers, attendees etc. You’re the real MVP’s and I’m extremely grateful to have you take time to share space in an authentic and accessible manner. You all keep me motivated to continue creating platforms for people of all walks to be heard, seen & feel safe… That’s mostly all we want at the end of the day anyways. 🤝 much love and more content coming soon. Comment Below & Share to help me 🤜 💥 the algorithm 🤣 🙄 📸 & .lamars 🍕 /

It stops when you stop… its always better to recharge 🔋⚡️than to burnout 💨 so I hope those of you that haven’t taken tour foot off the gas in awhile, pump the brakes a bt and enjoy the moment. • Here’s some shots from the Multipass x .la party at we did before I took off to NYC. Also have some recap from the event on the way as well.. appreciate the support as always 🙏 annnnd hope to find continue to find new opportunities, amazing people and fun stuff to work on week after week… I’m still very much considering launching a Dating series or a Music-Video Movie Night. Stay tuned for more info or DM if you’ve got stuff for me
