PRESENTED BY:
This podcast is proudly brought to you by Fame Lady Squad.
The From The Blockchain podcast was launched in December 2021 as a significant mission-driven “relaunch" roadmap item for the Fame Lady Squad NFT (digital collectibles) project.
FLS was the first ever all-female generative PFP (avatar-style) NFT collection launched on the Ethereum blockchain - one which was founded by men who claimed to be women during a time when women were minimally represented in an important emerging technology. When the founders' lies were discovered, the smart contract for the project was handed over to women, including your From The Blockchain host, Ashley Smith (also known by her Bored Ape Yacht Club PFP alias, “Bored Becky”).
Through the podcast and its affiliated social channels, Fame Lady Squad seeks to educate, empower, and inspire a diverse audience interested in the future of business and industry, offering a high value alternative to typical "bro culture" media prevalent in the web3 arena.
Thank you for tuning in!
