My friend Alex, cofounder of Faceless Labs, sometimes says: "Could you imagine trying to hire an Evan?"Perhaps it's my early training as an actor, but I'd say that's true for everyone--people are infinitely more interesting than any character they could ever pretend to be.I, personally, have played many roles:An actor, musician, a gardener, a pizzamaker, a server, delivery driver, EMT, personal trainer, professional mascot (Lou E. Loon), an event planner, music teacher, fundraiser, worship leader, lifeguard, coach, car salesman (hated it), speechwriter (loved it), surrogate, PR-fixer, playwright, a janitor, (the list goes on)...I've been banned from the country of Canada, appointed to the Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels, and starred in three Mt. Dew commercials that aired around the globe.I've been a vice president and I've been homeless; I've helmed efforts to generate $MMs in revenue and learned to live without money, entirely.In fact, I was thinking of leaving the money system altogether when I started to grasp the potential for blockchain technology to create new, better systems of value--alternatives to the dollar.Since 2019 I've worked in the web3 space (blockchain, AI, the metaverse, etc.) building novel experiences and telling a story that invites everyday people, at all levels of experience, to understand why future technology might matter to them, personally--to influence a future where technology enables regenerative lifestyles and a deeper understanding of what it means to be human.If it seems difficult to find a common thread, don't worry--it's not you, it's me. My life is a reflection that:-Wealth is the ability to fully experience life-All people are valuable and deserve kindness-The right message, at the right time, can make anyone feel special and motivate them to actionWhile there are many more jobs I might do (I've always thought the circus would be fun...) at this point in my life, I'm most interested in BIG work--the kind of work that creates a better, more egalitarian future for all people of the planet and the more-than-human world."Could you imagine trying to hire an Evan?"Thank goodness you don't have to!If you're trying to change the world, let me know how I can support you.- - -WHO I CAN HELP RIGHT NOW: -Blockchain/Web3 companies who need a creative or strategic director who can help them lead the industry in telling a better story.-Leaders looking to learn about/leverage NFTs, AI, or the Metaverse-Organizations who need a crisis plan
