Web3 is the third generation of the internet, and it is currently in full effect. Social media has helped people adopt it even faster, making it easier to connect with others and find information. With NFTs, Metaverse, and more, there are tons of new things happening every day in web3.
This is an exciting time to be involved in the web3 community, as there is always something new to learn or explore. One of the most popular social hubs of web3 talk is Spaces on Twitter, which are live chat rooms where users talk over audio with each other. The Twitter ‘Spaces’ typically have multiple speakers and one or two hosts, and the rooms can have thousands of listeners at a time.
Twitter Spaces has been a great way for people in Web3, and even just businesses in general, to network, share their stories and even get organic traction and followers. With the value behind speaking in larger Twitter spaces, people always seek popular ones to join for insight or exposure.
One young and ambitious Entrepreneur has recently gained a lot of popularity and notoriety for his heavy focus and dedication to Twitter Spaces, which has allowed him to turn it into a successful business model because of the value he has created.
After graduating Summa Cum Laude from Drexel University, Gav Blaxberg established a presence in traditional finance by working PWM at Goldman Sachs and Private Equity at Versa. During the start of Covid, Blaxberg says he left the private equity industry, working without pay for 17 months at a startup company. But then things took an unexpected turn for the young entrepreneur.
“I ended up acquiring the startup brand and spinning it out as my own media firm based around Twitter Spaces. It took commitment to a vision, an ungodly amount of cold DM’s and emails, and a willingness to work unpaid for over a year.” That hard work and willingness, Blaxberg tells us, was more than worth it.
Since he transitioned into web3 and content creation, Blaxberg has built his firm WOLF Financial into a social media empire. This dynamic speaker engages his audience in high-energy conversations, featuring accomplished speakers worldwide as the hallmarks of WOLF’s daily Twitter Spaces. Widely recognized as the #1 Spaces host for investors, WOLF has surged past 100,000 followers this year and has worked with over 100 companies running social media campaigns.
When asked what advice he has for aspiring creators and entrepreneurs, the WOLF Financial CEO told us, “Everything in life comes from building a network of highly motivated people. You never know who will introduce an incredible opportunity into your life at any given moment. Putting yourself out there at conferences, dinners, and on social media can be tough to do but pays off. I firmly believe that the most valuable thing one can do is build an audience. Also – never stop investing!”
The process behind the success of WOLF Financial has all been driven by investments. From putting the time, resources, and money into the WOLF Financial name, Gav Blaxberg has never stopped investing in the brand. The Twitter Spaces WOLF Financial hosts get anywhere from a few hundred to over a thousand consistent live listeners and 10s of thousands of listens after the space is over. Currently, WOLF Financial is considered one of the most active twitter space hosts.
The WOLF Financial founder and CEO says his goal is to completely dominate the investing space on Twitter via a full-time talk show on Twitter Spaces. He also hopes to travel the world speaking at investing and tech conferences. Currently, the young Twitter-preneur is putting in over 40 hours a week hosting Twitter Spaces and says he will only continue to put in more work towards the brand so that it will provide even more value to his audience and Twitter Space Guests.
So to sum it all up, if you want to achieve success and dominate an industry like WOLF Financial is currently doing, then in the words of Gav Blaxberg:
“Never stop investing”
