For this reason, we would like to help the community get to know you better as well as find out some writing tips from you. a story that the community found interesting and/or valuable While this template is automatic, our interest in the answers below is genuine and our human editors (and some cyborg wannabes) will review it before publishing. So let’s start! Tell us a bit about yourself. For example, name, profession, and personal interests. Audrey Nesbitt is a dynamic and accomplished entrepreneur in Blockchain, Web3, and DeFi arenas. She was the founder and CEO of Spinspirational Marketing which focused on WEB3 startups, has published multiple books on marketing, and is a proud core member of CryptoChicks, a non-profit, global educational hub founded to empower and inspire women and youth interested in learning about cryptocurrencies, blockchain, and Web3. CryptoChicks has been nominated for the Blockchain Company of the Year Award at the Canadian FinTech and AI Awards and Diversity Initiative of the Year at the inaugural Women in IT Awards Canada. Interesting! What was your latest Hackernoon Top story about? It was basically my to navigating the crazy world of Web3 while also trying to maintain some semblance of sanity as a startup founder. satirical guide I included some handy tips like "Don't forget to take breaks to cry in the bathroom" and "Invest in a good therapist, or at least a plush toy or a plush toy NFT to scream into." It was a hit on HackerNoon, and I'm pretty sure it inspired at least a few people to take a well-deserved mental health day. Do you usually write on similar topics? If not, what do you usually write about? Actually, I've been branching out lately and trying my hand at some new topics. I recently wrote a riveting piece about the history of paper clips and another one about the top 10 most comfortable types of socks. But don't worry, I still sprinkle in some Web3 marketing, entrepreneurship, and startup content to keep things spicy. Great! What is your usual writing routine like (if you have one?) Well, I like to start my day off with a strong cup of coffee and a stare-down with my laptop for about 15 minutes. Then, I usually spend the next hour procrastinating on social media before finally getting down to business and writing for a solid 5 minutes before taking another break. It's a delicate balance. Actually, I love getting up early and writing while it’s quiet, and I can focus on it without distractions. Being a writer in tech can be a challenge. It’s not often our main role, but an addition to another one. What is the biggest challenge you have when it comes to writing? One of the biggest challenges is finding the time and energy to write consistently while also managing other responsibilities. It can be tough to switch gears from a technical or business mindset to a creative one, especially when the deadlines are piling up. And of course, there's always the fear of writer's block, which can strike at any time and make it feel impossible to get anything down on paper (or on the screen, in this case). What is the next thing you hope to achieve in your career? I’m hoping to launch a new startup in Web3 by the end of the year. Wow, that’s admirable. Now, something more casual: What is your guilty pleasure of choice? I do standup comedy and will be performing a few shows this summer. I will definitely be adding jokes about my investments in cryptocurrency. Do you have a non-tech-related hobby? If yes, what is it? I love the arts and spend time in the NFT Art Community locally and love comedy. What can the Hacker Noon community expect to read from you next? I'm always striving to provide unique insights and perspectives on the latest tech trends and topics. Whether it's a satirical take on the future of AI or a lighthearted look at the world of cryptocurrency, I promise to keep things interesting and hopefully, a little bit funny. What’s your opinion on HackerNoon as a platform for writers? Well, if HackerNoon was a pizza, it would be the perfect combination of all the best toppings. It's got a crispy crust of user-friendly design, a savory sauce of engaged readership, and a generous sprinkling of cheese of top-notch writers. And just like a pizza, it's a platform that's best enjoyed with friends, whether you're discussing the latest tech news or debating the merits of pineapple as a pizza topping. So, in short, I'm a big fan of HackerNoon as a platform for writers, and I think it's the perfect place to share our ideas and connect with other like-minded individuals. Thanks for taking time to join our “ ” series. It was a pleasure. Do you have any closing words? Meet the writer As for closing words, I would say: keep calm and write on! Or, if that's too cheesy, how about this: if you ever find yourself stuck in a writing rut, just remember that even Shakespeare had to start somewhere. And if all else fails, just throw in a bunch of random memes and emojis and hope for the best 😉.
