Tried to send a DM, sorry if it did go through and now I'm spamming you nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcprfmhxue69uhhxetwv35hgtnwdaekvmrpwfjjucm0d5hszxthwden5te0wpex2mtfw4kjuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcuauf96
Any tips or good resources for folks newer to the space on navigating funding? Maybe an episode on it sometime? Especially in a high PoW, low time preference space. But if you are looking to leave (or already left...) your corporate job to work on open space freedom tech full time, it's a radical and scary shift in mindset.
I just came across this gem from 2018, the question mark comma. Sent me down a quick rabbit hole, pulled up an old episode and listened to nostr:nprofile1qqsq6myr3rwtqjdcm48u357ccwae8h3a4y96s28y7zwg458ngeyg5vcpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qg3waehxw309ucngvpwvcmh5tnfduhsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjme0htzetd weekly segment. Figured it was worth the share. 
I've been referencing this call to arms from nostr:nprofile1qqs9pk20ctv9srrg9vr354p03v0rrgsqkpggh2u45va77zz4mu5p6ccpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgkwaehxw309a5xjum59ehx7um5wghxcctwvshszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qrxnfk from a few months ago on citadel dispatch a bunch lately.
"I mean, what I wanna say is just hoping that someone out there is listening and doesn't know what to do with their job or their life and feels inspired by the open source world that we're building. And, I hope that if you're a developer out there and you don't like your corporate job, that you can consider coming into the Bitcoin ecosystem or Nostr ecosystem and, helping us to move this kind of revolutionary project forward. We need every single person who can help...."
When I heard this it spoke directly to me. I had been thinking of reaching out to nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcprfmhxue69uhhxetwv35hgtnwdaekvmrpwfjjucm0d5hszxthwden5te0wpex2mtfw4kjuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcuauf96 after leaving a corporate job I hated, only knowing I wanted to work on Bitcoin or freedom tech, and get back to writing code. But the space is huge, and getting started somewhere is overwhelming. Then Calle had that call to arms and I decided to start looking to contribute to cashu. I'm not there yet, I've learned a bunch and still know almost nothing, but hopefully soon I'll be there.
