Thank you. Everybody welcome to vcon, i'm a purebred entrepreneur for real for real for real, like documented i'll, just make a video all right. This is my future home. I'm just gon na live here the flea market, but this this is my spot i'll see.

All of you, you'll all be over here. Oh there's, a ferris wheel, they'll be all v conning, but i'm gon na be signing like a right here. Table 40.. Could we make it table 55? That's where i'm gon na be this audience is so happy to be with each other that i think we're gon na win that game.

I think we have a lot of latitude a lot of good will and a lot of happiness in the air, so i feel overall, incredibly confident impersonators they're gon na go on they've three to five minutes. How many are there two there's two? Who is it? It's nima and who nemo is gon na, come out yep and he's gon na come out as you. I understand right and then he'll be interrupted by ami and if we don't zoom in on omni and the imax, i think he's gon na come out. Looking like, he loves this all right, how long do they have three to five minutes? If you feel like this isn't working it's bombing, you got ta get out there.

It's definitely not gon na bomb. Those guys are more popular than i am now they're gon na. Be so people are gon na love it i'll? Let them do their thing. Yes, they'll deal with the improv nature of me coming on when i want to come on cool.

Thank you everybody. I highly recommend everybody be here for doors opening at eight, so like even 7, 45 lining up is probably a good idea. Get your sleep. Everyone just incredibly focused on everybody, deploying as much kindness to each other as humanly possible.

Being the bigger person for this entire weekend is the mantra. Please make friendships. Please make memories, i'm glad you're here when i launched the friends last may most people really had no idea what was going on in this world. I knew the most interesting thing about.

Nft land was not the front-facing visual aspect, the art the collectible, which i love. I come from a collecting sports cards. Comic book store, so it came very natural to me the psychology of why this is all working. The most interesting part about nft land is the smart contract.

It's what's attached to the image in the contract of the collectible. I said you have a ticket to three years worth of a conference called vcon and that's what we've brought here to minnesota this year. If i can get one person in this room to actually spend 15 to 20 hours of reading or listening on a podcast, i really really want all of you to learn it. Not because i want you to buy a v friend or collect something else like a board ape or a world of women or other cool stuff, but because there's 0.0 chance that this technology doesn't affect you, vcon hasn't even started yet, and i have more friends here Than in my own city, let's go dude.

I saw this photo on twitter yo, i'm just here with the boy garyvee here in 2022, nfg cobb barracuda is in the building. Oh, you can't even get it yeah. Oh man dude. Oh my god.

This is crazy. All right at the welcome party set up there's the stadium we'll be all weekend. Felocious is our party. I know aj will be there because he's super good at cornhole drock's.

Here, oh look at it. I see it the selfie station, the volunteers and look. Look how good looking the volunteers are. That's where i'll be living.

So, if you're looking for me, that's where i'll be living, that's where i'll be living looking forward to it tonight, what's up gang, what you're doing! Thank you bro. Thank you guys see you later gary nice to meet you nice to meet you huge fan, thank you for being at the park over here, and i saw you guys over here. I was actually drawn. That's amazing yeah.

Would you mind with all right if you just signed up here? If that's what i want to do, i would really appreciate that i'm happy to do it. Bro yeah appreciate one everybody coming here. What would you say, bring happiness awesome, see you guys later. Somebody who lives so much in the digital space, yes, why an in-person conference the world is not or it's and my favorite thing is people and and why i love digital.

Unlike a lot of people who are like digital's, not real, you have to do it in person. I don't agree with that. I've built many relationships here through digital first as a gateway to then the physical, and so i believe in both, and so i definitely wanted to do a physical conference wow, that's crazy, pretty cool! All of the good stuff comes from listening. The reason my content's fairly unique is because i read my dms see what people are actually feeling and then make content, but it led to a whole content pillar for me for a couple years.

That really mattered. That would have never happened. If i didn't read all the dms, we should be listening to every single reply to every piece of content. In fact, i produced a lot of content just to get comments to give me insights to questions.

I have it's really all right. Thank you. Hailing uh reporting live from v-con it's hailing. They don't know that you're coming what they don't know that you're crazy.

When i came in to be friends, i personally didn't even think about being a woman and feeling like, oh, i didn't feel included like i didn't even think about that. You did such a well job like at feeling making all of us feel included, and so now we're just trying to continue that on here and uh. We're very glad to have everyone show up. The entire totality of the v friends community has already brought in just a couple of hours to minnesota is uh is being felt locally and that's the most beautiful thing.

So i hope you have a great time. Uh i'll see all of you pretty soon here at the party, it seems like i know, you've been inside, but it's been hailing like a outside uh, but thank you for following me up here.
