Raza describes moving from accounting and finance into programming, Ethereum, DAOs, and thirdweb after discovering that its tools supported Python as well as JavaScript and React. He explains how thirdweb simplified smart-contract deployment, provided prebuilt contracts for NFTs, marketplaces, tokens, and DAOs, and supported Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, and Fantom. The conversation covers thirdweb’s open-source, free-to-use model, its decision to remove a transaction royalty share, and its plans for monetization. They also discuss React and Next.js support, bringing existing contracts into thirdweb through thirdweb Deploy, the dashboard’s no-code features, documentation, community, notable users, planned templates and SDK improvements, upcoming 2022 events, and ways developers could access the project’s guides and Discord. ## Speakers - Anthony Campolo - Raza ## Chapters ### 00:00:00 - Introductions, Developer Communities, and Career Paths The conversation opens with Raza mentioning an event in Amsterdam and Anthony Campolo joining from Saint Louis. They briefly discuss Developer DAO, including how quickly it gained attention on Twitter and became a gathering place for people entering Web3. Anthony then introduces himself as a QuickNode developer advocate and frames the session as an interview followed by audience questions. Raza explains that his name is partly a Twitter persona and that he was working as an accountant and in finance rather than coming from computer science. During the pandemic he began programming and sharing his progress online, later becoming interested in NFTs, DAOs, and Ethereum before joining thirdweb. He emphasizes Python’s importance in his path into Web3. ### 00:04:06 - What thirdweb Provides Anthony asks for a high-level explanation of thirdweb. Raza describes it as a platform, including no-code options, for deploying smart contracts and building decentralized applications without assembling the usual Solidity, deployment, and library workflow. He says developers can use JavaScript, Python, or React and often replace dozens of lines of setup with a few lines through thirdweb’s SDKs. Raza explains that thirdweb was intended to be EVM-chain agnostic, supporting Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, and Fantom at that point, with more networks planned. Its templates include wallet connection configuration, while the SDKs expose broader functionality for marketplaces, tokens, and other contracts. The emphasis is faster development without limiting users to only one blockchain. ### 00:07:36 - NFTs, DAOs, and the Open-Source Model The speakers review thirdweb’s popular prebuilt contracts, especially NFT drops and marketplaces. Raza explains lazy minting: metadata can be uploaded first, while the actual NFT is minted when a user claims it at a set price. He also describes a Buildspace project for creating a DAO and notes that DAO functionality can combine voting, split, and ERC-20 contracts. Anthony asks about open source and business plans. Raza says the SDKs and CLI are open source, contributions are welcome, and the platform was free to use. He reports more than 100,000 smart contracts deployed and roughly 34,000 Discord members at the time, adding that thirdweb had removed a very small royalty-related fee because even that could discourage adoption. ### 00:11:55 - Framework Support and thirdweb Deploy Anthony praises the concise React hooks and asks whether thirdweb will support Vue and Svelte. Raza says those frameworks, Angular, and more plain JavaScript are being considered, but React and Next.js were receiving the strongest demand in 2022. The team was therefore prioritizing complete React functionality before extending the SDK to additional frameworks. Raza then highlights thirdweb Deploy, announced that day. Developers could bring an existing contract, such as an ERC-721A contract, into thirdweb and gain access to its dashboard and SDKs rather than relying only on ethers or web3.js. The discussion presents this as a way to preserve custom Solidity work while adding thirdweb’s JavaScript, Python, and React tooling. ### 00:16:10 - Dashboard, Developer Content, and Community Raza distinguishes thirdweb’s dashboard from its code-based tools. The dashboard serves as a no-code, visual interface for deploying contracts through a wallet, managing permissions, and interacting with contracts on chain, while scripting remains more extensive. He stresses that the contracts remain on chain and connected to the user’s wallet even if the thirdweb service were unavailable. The conversation turns to guides and educational material. Raza says the developer-relations team, including colleagues such as Mena and Jared, was expanding written guides, videos, and YouTube content. Anthony mentions an hour-long thirdweb Deploy video, and Raza points to recent material on NFT staking. Their focus is showing concrete flows through short code examples as well as longer tutorials. Raza also highlights Discord support and names 100 Thieves and Boohoo among public users of thirdweb. ### 00:20:38 - Roadmap, Templates, and 2022 Events Asked about the roadmap, Raza forecasts more workshops, SDK hooks and functions, contract interaction methods, and a larger template repository. He gives the example of cloning a React or Next.js marketplace template with much of the configuration already completed. He also expects additional partners and supported chains, presenting these as the practical improvements developers would see next. Raza lists planned 2022 appearances and workshops, including NYC NFT, ETHNewYork, Launch House, and Web3 SF in August. He and Anthony discuss meeting in New York, with Raza expecting to arrive around June 19. These plans accompany the team’s work on templates, new contract features, and educational material for developers attending those events. ### 00:24:04 - Getting Started and Closing Discussion Raza directs listeners to the thirdweb portal and its quick-start guide, along with the project’s Discord, YouTube videos, and team members for questions. He says Discord is the best place for technical interaction, while Twitter remains useful for direct messages. He also describes experimenting with TikTok, where he was surprised by the organic reach, while noting that Twitter remained more familiar. The closing turns mention thirdweb Radio, a podcast Raza co-hosted with Noah and Mena about people’s journeys and Web3 topics. Anthony reflects on podcasts and Twitter Spaces as ways to share experience and give people a platform. Raza again invites questions through Discord, and Anthony thanks him for sharing the platform’s tools and the community’s work. ## Episode Links - [Original Twitter Space](https://x.com/i/spaces/1mrGmarryvQGy) - [QuickNode episode announcement](https://x.com/Quicknode/status/1533939587487236101) The Space lookup was unavailable when the archive was assembled; its announcement and transcript are preserved. ## Transcript This automatic transcript retains the original timestamps and wording apart from clear name corrections.

[00:00:00] - Raza Amsterdam because I didn't know, like that scene was this big and it was quite like the event itself was quite big. So that was pretty cool. [00:00:08] - Anthony Campolo Nice. And. Yeah. And I'm coming from Saint Louis. [00:00:11] - Raza Oh, nice. Yeah. [00:00:17] - Anthony Campolo I just saw developer pop in for a second. Are you in developer now? [00:00:24] - Raza Yeah, I'm in developer now. [00:00:26] - Anthony Campolo I mean, all the cool people are in developer now, so that makes sense. [00:00:30] - Raza I appreciate that. [00:00:33] - Anthony Campolo Yeah, I had heard about developer Dow, you know, back when I was still kind of not doing, like, Web3 stuff and kept seeing, like, more and more people tweet about it. Like, man, everyone's talking about developer Dow. And then I was doing a podcast with Natalya. So I was like, you create developer Dow, right? I was like, oh, now it makes sense. [00:00:51] - Raza Yeah. [00:00:53] - Anthony Campolo Yeah, it's a good time. I'm glad I got in there. [00:00:57] - Raza Yeah. So I think that it was. [00:01:01] - Raza It kind of took him to Twitter text Twitter by storm because I just remembered, like I was just getting into F3 as well and like looking around and like, and then all of a sudden, like, I think Jack forge and others like, were tweeting about, oh, you need to get in now. Like the place running out as well. But yeah, it's a great place to be. [00:01:22] - Anthony Campolo Absolutely. All right. Cool. we got these amount of listeners. Now, you probably get started just to kind of kick this off. My name is Anthony Campolo. I'm a developer advocate here at Quick Node. And then we got Raza written. That's not your actual last name, but, I guess your your stage name. [00:01:44] - Raza Yeah. Sort of. Yeah. yeah. Hi, everyone. I'm, I'm head of developer, relations at, third web, and, I'm actually, it's more of a joke, but. Yeah, that's my, Twitter name. [00:01:56] - Anthony Campolo Cool. Yeah. When I do these interviews, I always like to know, like, how'd you first get into coding and how do you find yourself in kind of a developer advocate role? [00:02:06] - Raza Yeah, actually. [00:02:07] - Raza So I don't have a CS background at all. I'm, I'm an accountant by profession, and I just kind of started to share my journey on Twitter. Yeah. Accountant. [00:02:19] - Anthony Campolo Okay. how's the music teacher? So I'm coming at you from a different place as well. [00:02:24] - Raza That's super cool. Yeah, I think that most people I've met in tech, and I'm not as active on Twitter as I used to be, but most people I met in tech, Twitter, they don't actually have a CS degree background. And, likewise, I studied accountancy. I worked in finance for years, and then I kind of just like started programming, I think, during the pandemic and started to share my journey here on Twitter, amassed a bit of a following. And then I think last year, like after the summer, I started reading about Web3, started like I, I heard about NFTs, obviously, and then stayed away from it actually because I thought, you know, maybe it was a bit of a scam or something and then started to learn more and more about it. [00:03:11] - Raza Actually, DAOs became my primary interest at the start because I was like, what is a Dao? And then, yeah, just like started to learn about Ethereum, share my journey over here. And then I, I'm, I'm huge into Python and it kind of was a blocker in the Web3 space where it's like, okay, I cannot use Python in the, in the, in the Web3 space because it's all pretty much solidity and JavaScript like dominant. And then third, I reached out and said, hey, no, you can actually use Python. But yeah, I was like, but is that for on chain stuff? And it was. So that was the reason why I got pulled into third web. and that's where my journey actually started, for real, like in Web3 and how I actually landed the job as well. [00:03:56] - Anthony Campolo Okay, cool. Yeah, I saw that third web has a Python SDK, and we get into the SDKs a little bit. And I saw that someone is requesting to speak. [00:04:06] - Anthony Campolo We're going to just do a kind of an interview style for the first part of this, and then we'll open up to questions in a little bit. So hang tight and then we'll bring some people up soon. But I will be curious if you were to give like the high level description of like what is third web to someone who's never heard about it? Like what? What is it? What is the the use case of it? [00:04:28] - Raza Yeah, sure. So Third web is a platform that allows it also has no code but allows you with, to do on chain stuff with code. So basically you can deploy smart contracts and build decentralized apps really fast. And if anyone is like busy in the, in the Web3 space, you know, you need to know solidity to develop and well, to develop smart contracts. And then you use a library such as, web or like hard hat or truffle to deploy the smart contract. And we basically take care of all of that. So Usually when you develop and deploy smart contracts, it's quite a bit of a hassle. [00:05:05] - Raza or you use a third party and you use actually their smart contracts. And with us, you do everything on chain with either JavaScript, Python or React. and it makes the development like that much smoother. So it basically to paint a picture and I cannot do that. But usually what I show in demos is you need like close to 60 to 70 lines of code to do what you can do with third within a couple of lines of code, whether that's creating NFTs, creating tokens. We have ERC 20 years since Sep 21, and today we launched as well an announcement that you can basically bring your own contract and use Turtle Deploy, and then you get the full functionality of our SDK. So I think the power really lies in building really fast, using the react SDK to build a web apps like web three apps really fast. So we're basically an SDK that enables any developer who knows JavaScript and Python. To get started really quick in Web3. [00:06:04] - Anthony Campolo Yeah it's cool. I've used hard hat too, and that's how I usually will deploy my smart contracts. [00:06:08] - Anthony Campolo And I find that it's fairly simple, but it seems like there is some boilerplate that could probably be reduced. I would like to know though, is it like multi chain like if I wanted to deploy to, you know, Ethereum and then I wanted to also deploy like avalanche. Like what's the kind of story there in terms of like what can you actually deploy to. [00:06:27] - Raza Yeah. So we're EVM chain agnostic. We support Ethereum, polygon, avalanche, Fantom. and we're basically we are looking like to to branch out. So we will add more and more. Our mission is to be EVM chain agnostic. I think that I get the I get the comparison boilerplate. I think it's close to that, but it's much more. So we do use like, we have like, templates for you to get started where you can just spin up a template and it has like a connect wallet configuration for you. But the SDK really like especially the react SDK. It has an extensive amount of functionality and we actually support out of the box. [00:07:07] - Raza Smart contracts like a lot. So marketplaces, IRC, all the IRC is basically. And then but we have also like like very, very complex functionalities that allow you to not only build real files but do look like, do like really cool stuff. So I think that's like a very important part that, you know, just to add on there as well. [00:07:28] - Anthony Campolo Yeah, I was checking out some of the pre-built contracts. Are there like some that are particularly popular versus some others? [00:07:36] - Raza I mean, like NFTs obviously like, are super popular and very early on before you see. Sep 21 A was was popular. We had an NFT drop contract, which basically allows you to lazy mint NFTs. So what that is, is you'll upload all the metadata to IPFs or on chain or whatever, wherever that is. And then what happens is a user comes in and, and basically claims an NFT at a price that you set it, and then at that moment of time, the actual minting happens. And that was actually enabled. [00:08:05] - Raza a lot of like that that became popular very rapidly. And then also we have a smart contract for marketplace. That's actually pretty popular as well. So those two stand out. But yeah, we have we did a build space project where you could build your own dial that became like very popular rapidly as well. [00:08:25] - Anthony Campolo Nice. Yeah, just in time. Minting. That does sound pretty cool. And especially like the the Dao stuff, because it can be pretty complicated once you have to start getting like, governance and voting and all that kind of stuff. And that's the type of stuff you really want to make sure you don't mess up. [00:08:41] - Raza Yeah for sure. And like, so it's the course where we show you because we're basically very modular. And with the Dao you need multiple contracts and we actually show you how you can build a Dao with, with multiple of our contracts. So we have voting contract, split contract, ERC 20, those are basically the ones that you need for a Dao. But yeah it's a that's definitely like our like part of our mission as well where we show you we've got these contracts that there are there are a basically built and secure. [00:09:12] - Raza They're open source. You can see it for yourself. so it makes it much easier to use. [00:09:18] - Anthony Campolo Yeah. That was another question I had about the, the open source thing. So it looks like the SDKs are open source and the CLI. Yeah, it is open source. And you got like examples. So like how much of the overall platform itself is open source. [00:09:30] - Raza Yeah. So we're so we're fully open source. you can just go ahead and create a commit if you like, if you want to make a contribution. and we're also free to use by the way. [00:09:41] - Anthony Campolo Wow. That's incredible. Yeah. So how do you make money? [00:09:44] - Raza That's a good question. there are definitely, like, operating models out there. some that we're exploring. that's in the works right now. And, and we'll come out with that soon. But our main focus is, is that we're, we're in a very like good spot where we are able to enable developers to develop fast and we don't want to lose that. [00:10:06] - Raza And we saw actually, so we launched in November of last year and we already like by now we have about 100 K plus smart contracts deployed with, with third web. And we've got like I think 30 4K right now in our, in our discord. And one of the main blockers that people said, like we used to take a cut of the cut. So of the royalty will take a percentage. And it was like it came down to like on average 0.0005% or something like that of, of a transaction. And even then it seemed like a blocker to people. And we was like, you know, we were like, we don't need like we were pretty well funded and we don't need it right now, and we just want to enable developers to develop. So we just took that out completely. And now what we're seeing right now is we're providing a lot of support as well. So anyone who is like gets into our discord knows that, you know, support means a lot to us. So we have different operating models where we're thinking of. [00:11:02] - Raza But right now, yeah, we're just loving all like the pace of development. And we want to enable that. So that's what our current focus is. And then, yeah, we've got a couple of plans lined up and we'll see what works later on. [00:11:18] - Anthony Campolo Yeah, that's really cool. I was a big fan and still I'm a big fan of Prisma, which is like an ORM kind of tool. And they did a similar thing. They did a ton of work on open source stuff, and they built out all this tooling and they never really like, did any sort of monetization stuff. And then now they're like extremely popular and lots and lots of people use them and love them. And now they can kind of figure out what their monetization model is actually going to be. So it definitely can work as long as you're like, kind of always thinking ahead and like knowing kind of what you're going to get to implement. But I'm looking at the some of your examples of like the the hooks make these like really, really concise. [00:11:55] - Anthony Campolo It's super nice, especially the kind of react hooks, you know, if there's any plans to add things like viewers felt. [00:12:02] - Raza that's a good question. we are definitely exploring right now. I mean, I think we're getting questions for Angular View as well, but also like like like more plane so aswell comes close, but more like plain JavaScript. there are a couple of challenges with that. I think the, What? So like the simple answer is yes, it's definitely on the roadmap. though right now we're seeing the most demand for react and next. Yes. And that's why we're currently focused there. So yeah, the short answer is definitely focused there. But right now we're we're we're focused on delivering the the full functionality of our SDK in react form. [00:12:42] - Anthony Campolo Yeah. Yeah. That makes sense because you essentially have to like re-implement everything again when you use like Vue and Svelte because it's like does the same thing, but it does it in a different enough way and you can't really share any code between them. [00:12:54] - Anthony Campolo So it's just the whole thing. [00:12:57] - Raza Yeah. And and you know, not to like, downgrade any other, framework there. But react is still pretty popular. Like, it's, like the most popular. And what we're seeing right now in terms of demand is that we do get like risk. Like we do get requests sometimes for svelte. We saw angular a couple of times pop up and Vue.js definitely. But yeah, React and Next.js pretty much dominating at the moment. So we want to make sure that we enable as many people as we can. And that's why that's why our current focus is. [00:13:29] - Anthony Campolo Yeah, I came up through the the react world. So I definitely agree with you that if you're looking for like something to invest in, like that's gonna be the thing to do because so many people are doing it and it puts you in a good position where like right now you can add remix and that probably wouldn't be that huge of a lift because, you know, a react meta framework. So you could build on top of the react stuff you already have, right? Awesome. [00:13:53] - Anthony Campolo So are there other parts of the platform that we haven't talked about that you want to highlight? [00:13:58] - Raza Right. Yeah. So I think today we did an announcement as well as Turtle Deploy where that's like, the biggest feature yet that we have in my, in my conversations that I had like even like in Dev Connect or all the events that I go to when people find out about Third Web, I did a workshop like last Friday. Literally, one of the things that people say is, wow, I can like use one liners. Not right now. Like for instance, you know, what you mentioned is all about the hooks. The power of our hooks is really like it's pretty neat because it gives you only a couple of lines of code and you're still using code, but you can build your apps really fast. So I think that one of the major blockers people had was not to use the web was, well, okay, great. You have this ERC 721 contract, but I want the ERC 721 A, which we didn't have pre-built in our in our repo. [00:14:49] - Raza But now with their deploy, you can bring the ERC 721 a deploy with third web. And then immediately you get access to our dashboard, you get access to Gnosis safe. You get access to, so you can use usage notes. Wallet with. I'm not sure if I pronounce it right. [00:15:08] - Anthony Campolo You know, I think. [00:15:09] - Raza Yeah. It goes. Yeah. No. I'm sorry. [00:15:11] - Anthony Campolo No, it's all good. Yeah. [00:15:14] - Raza you can use that wallet. to to interact or deploy the smart contract with. And you can immediately access to our SDK. So the JavaScript, Python and react, any function. Sorry. Any SDK you want to use to interact with that smart contract. you can use. So I think that's like something I would like to highlight is that that's like one of the major blocks that that we took away. And I'm kind of thinking of what a reason is not to use third web like, well, I'm a little bit biased, obviously, but. So yeah, that's like one. [00:15:47] - Raza One major thing I would like to highlight to anyone who is a solidity smart contract developer, you're actually not relying anymore on ether or web three.js. You can use our all our SDK when you deploy with third Webb. [00:16:00] - Anthony Campolo And it looks like there's a dashboard as well. So is the dashboard. Will that let you do similar things that you'll be able to do with the CLI? Are there some things that you can do on one but can't do on the other though? [00:16:10] - Raza So definitely our code and everything you do with scripting and code is, far more extensive. we have the dashboard as a no code solution. Really. The dashboard was like supporting, devs with having more of a, let's say, a visual layout. They can manage permissions, for instance. they'll be analytics soon, but it's also our no code solution. So our dashboard, you can deploy smart contracts through your wallet. So we're fully permissionless, which means in, if there would be a case where Delta goes down, your smart contracts would still be on chain. [00:16:47] - Raza Your there will still be, like, connected to your wallet. It's like it's not like your smart contracts go down. and you could still like hire potentially a solidity smart contract developer like if you need like For, for the for the, not the immutable parts of the other parts that you can change. You can manage them. But yeah, our dashboard is basically our no code solution where you can do everything on chain and interact with smart contracts. [00:17:10] - Anthony Campolo Gotcha. So I see that you are writing some guides as well. I'd be curious if that's kind of like the extent of your your content creation or any kind of other stuff you're, you've been creating to kind of get out there and like, explain third web. [00:17:25] - Raza Yeah. I mean, so we try to do create, guides to better show the flows and the stuff you can do with third web. so lately I've been more busy as well with the org and making sure that. So we've got Samina on who joined us recently or while out back, and Jared, the who joined us a while back as well. [00:17:45] - Raza We're trying to build more and create more content. So yeah, as I said, it started. I've not been as active lately on Twitter, but the whole idea is, is to show more show users more through content, what they can do with dirt Web. From small code snippets to extensive guides, and we're ramping up our processes internally to show, like to pump out more video content as well as more and more people have been asking, hey, we'd love to see this guide like a video version of this guide. So we'll be putting it on YouTube. But yeah, I mean, content creation and guides is a huge part of what we do at Deveraux at their web. [00:18:23] - Anthony Campolo Yeah, I see you've got an hour long video on third web deploy. I just came out like two weeks ago. That was pretty extensive. [00:18:29] - Raza Yeah. and then I'm not sure. Like, that's the one of Jared. but we have thoroughly deployed Jared really recently released, I think a couple of days ago, actually, of NFT staking. [00:18:40] - Raza And today we have another announcement like, you know, reminding people of their of deploy. [00:18:46] - Anthony Campolo Cool. What's, the third web community like? And where does it tend to congregate? [00:18:53] - Raza So the data community is pretty small, a strong, on discord. we interrupt. We we see a lot of interaction, on on discord and then Twitter. I think those are the two places. yeah. And we've been loving it. I think that the amount of projects we've seen build, like, you know, actual companies even, is insane. And. Yeah, and the love that we've been getting. But yeah, most of, let's say the web community is, is at discord. [00:19:22] - Anthony Campolo Yeah, that's a good place to be. We got a discord as well. Are there any, like, well-known companies that you can mention that are using Third web, or is that some kind of, like, can't really be public yet? [00:19:34] - Raza Yeah. So so a lot of that are in the build. that's not really up to us, but the ones that are already, like, gone out on Twitter, for instance, are like obviously, 100 thieves. [00:19:45] - Raza another big one is boo hoo hoo, who launched with, us. And then right now it's the remains are really they'll be made public like over or over time, they'll come out with, with it themselves and they're more, but the client wise. But that's like more rapid growth will be able to tell you. But yeah I think that boohoo like was like they've got millions of followers. Like thing on Instagram is clothing brands. They used us. and then there's a, there's the 100 page, sorry, 100, 100 TVs, launched. That happened a while ago as well. [00:20:18] - Anthony Campolo Nice, nice. Yeah. If there are any listeners out in the audience who'd be curious to ask a question to Rasa, either about himself or about their web in general, feel free to raise your hand. And while people are doing that, could you talk a little bit about what are some upcoming things that you're excited about or that are on the roadmap? [00:20:38] - Raza Yeah, so I think the the coming period like more in terms of activity, I'm super excited. [00:20:43] - Raza We're going to ramp up our workshops. So, we'll definitely be sharing the hey on Twitter where we just like show the magic that we have with, the, have a third web. And like, the power of our SDK, I think that the coming time What you'll see is, is far more functionality than our SDK, which means more hooks, more functions, more ways to interact with your smart contract, more templates. We're really trying to build out our template repository. So let's say you want to spin up a marketplace. You'll be able to do that with React or Next.js, just by cloning the template. And then it has a lot of pre-configured for you and we're just adding, let's say, partners and chains more and more. So those are like the standard things that you can definitely expect from us. and then, yeah. So that's more or less, what we've got planned for you guys. [00:21:39] - Anthony Campolo Very cool.

[00:22:37] - Anthony Campolo Very cool. Awesome. so if people want to learn more about Third Web or get started with it, what would be the best place for them to go? [00:22:48] - Raza Yeah. So the best way to go. The best place to go is, portal. So if you just go to com, you'll find a button that's called portal. You can go in there and then you've got a pretty good quick start, getting started guide. it gets you up and running pretty quickly. you can approach me or Mena or Jared or any one of the third up team. Join our discord. and we've got some YouTube videos, but, those are the the places to go and start very easily and reaching out to us. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions, and we can help you there as well. [00:23:25] - Anthony Campolo Cool. And then where can people find you on the internet? [00:23:29] - Raza So, as I said, I've been a bit inactive on Twitter. but I'm actually, ramping up my activity on TikTok at the moment. [00:23:38] - Raza So, Twitter, I do respond to DMs. but on TikTok, I'll be able to find me there as well. But really, Twitter and Discord, discord is probably the easiest way. If you really like would like some one on one interaction or have specific questions. I don't respond to DMs on discord because of security reasons. But if you jump in our discord and you tag us, we will respond. [00:24:04] - Anthony Campolo Cool. What's your experience been like with TikTok? I haven't really used TikTok at all, but I know a lot of people are starting to get into it. [00:24:11] - Raza Yeah, I mean, to be quite frank, I didn't know what type of content to post on TikTok yet. I was more or less exploring, but I'm actually quite surprised by the organic reach on TikTok. It's pretty well, and it's actually also been a good place to interact. So I mean, my experience so far is pretty good. I'm still exploring. I'm used much more like to the threads and the tweets. Like they're much more like sort of my game. [00:24:39] - Raza so yeah, but I've been loving making the videos and it's been a good experience so far. [00:24:45] - Anthony Campolo Nice. You also have a podcast, don't you? [00:24:48] - Raza Yes. That's very good mentioning. If you would be, it should kill me. But I'm co-hosting that with, Noah as well. Who's a quick note here. but me, Noah and Mina have a podcast called Devil Radio, where we basically invite interesting people and share their journey or experience and talk about devil stuff. [00:25:11] - Anthony Campolo That's cool. Yeah. I love podcasting, I have a podcast that I've been doing for like a year and a half now, and it's such a great way to build connections to like, learn stuff yourself to to give other people a platform to kind of get out there and put their stuff out. That's one of the reasons I really enjoy Twitter spaces as well, because it's like a live podcast everyone gets to sit in on. [00:25:32] - Raza Oh yeah, you know for sure. I think that it's one of the best ways to share content, but also share experiences. [00:25:41] - Raza Twitter space is one of the things that I should do a lot more. yeah, for sure I have, I fully agree. It's it's a great way to share, content and thoughts. [00:25:52] - Anthony Campolo Yeah, totally. So if anyone has any questions, last call to ask a question. And then are there any final parting words you want to leave with our audience? [00:26:01] - Raza yeah, I think that, Feel free to reach out, like via Twitter DMs if you have any questions. I think that discord, if you're interested in Third Web, if you're interested in demos, also feel free to to reach out and or jump into discord and tag us, and then we'll definitely get in touch. [00:26:20] - Anthony Campolo Awesome. Well, thanks so much, Raza. This is a great chat and their website sounds pretty cool.
