Tomorrow is my last day at @Consensys. I& #39;ve had a blast for 2 years, but I& #39;ve been most proud of what we accomplished through the following @EtherealSummit& #39;s!

Ethereal hosted 500+ speakers across #Ethereum and #DeFi and pulled off our first-ever virtual event with over 200 speakers in May, despite the unexpected onset of the pandemic.
I look forward to watching future Ethereal& #39;s, just not organizing them. :) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbxufpiYLa3XbjGVltzAavQ">https://www.youtube.com/channel/U...

3/ If we journey back to 2017, I fell down the crypto https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐇" title="Hase" aria-label="Emoji: Hase">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🕳️" title="Loch" aria-label="Emoji: Loch">, listening to @laurashin podcasts and reading @cburniske& #39;s Cryptoassets.
I spent countless nights after work obsessed learning about crypto.
By the fall, I took a leap of faith, paid $600, and went solo to Ethereal SF!

4/ Back then, I was so enamored with the radical experiments I discovered at Ethereal happening on #Ethereum, that I typed a note to myself of everything I could remember or speakers I should contact.
Funny thing is I kept this note below for now almost 3 yrs as a memory.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">

5/ There were folks, many names I don& #39;t remember, that I met at Ethereal SF, that nudged me to commit to the #Ethereum community.
You have no idea how simple interactions like welcoming someone, answering a question, providing advice can impact the trajectory of another& #39;s life.

6/ It was @laurashin& #39;s willingness to keep in touch that led me to find a job. She suggested @Consensys and the full circle nature of me working on @EtherealSummit has been pretty funny.
Little bursts of effort like this can yield a huge impact.

7/ 6 months later I saw @ethereumJoseph speak in SF at a sold out meetup across the street from my work in March 2018, where he talked about @OpenLawOfficial and other Ethereum projects but I remember OpenLaw stuck with me--"one day you will settle legal paperwork on blockchain."
8/ Anyways, I used that experience at the meetup as a talking point to aggressively push my ConsenSys recruiter to interview me sooner and I like to think I forced him to give me a job.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">
Eventually, @AmandaCassatt hired me to the marketing team, and I was stoked!

9/ My first 6 months at ConsenSys coincided with the largest price drawdown in ETH from July 2018 through December 2018.
It was a running joke among my friends that the market was pricing in my involvement and the ETH price was correcting because of it.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">

10/ Oddly enough, I think my first 6 months were the most special. I learned so much, made countless friends and got to visit Dublin + Paris for work.
It was one of the most supportive family-like teams I& #39;ve ever worked with.
We weren& #39;t perfect but we loved working together.

11/ I share all of this because it matters how we treat people.
It matters we make every interaction count.
It matters we remember and empathize with how it felt wanting to break into this crazy revolution happening on Ethereum.
So that we can help others join the cause!

Thank you for supporting me @Consensys and @ethereumJoseph! Look forward to future collaborations!
Thank you to the best mentor one could ask for, @avieli.
Cheers to my good friend, @333SKL, the talented designer behind Ethereal and my #Ethereum blood brother for life @MrBUIDL.
