The Wild West of Web3 by BorgoAcademy
GM fam!
Diego here, reporting from the edge of the Metaverse.
I'm excited to share some insights and stories from my own journey through life. My adventure started in Brazil, led me across the globe to countries like Canada, Germany, Austria, Indonesia and Portugal, and eventually brought me to the frontier of Web3.
Every step of my journey has been an intense lesson in adapting, learning, and thriving in new environments. The thrill of being in a new country, the confusion of navigating a different language, the excitement of immersing in a new culture - each country was a world of its own. But the adventure didn't come without its challenges.
At times, I felt like I was competing in a 100m race against Usain Bolt, but starting with a 5-second delay. This feeling was especially present when I arrived in Germany.
A country where I landed without money, friends, a job, or even language skills. However, I was able to find a silver lining. These experiences pushed me out of my comfort zone and provided me with valuable insights, which helped me immensely as an entrepreneur and consultant.

Insightful Analysis:
Recently, I had a really rad conversation with Kathleen Rademan, the Director Innovation at Fashion for Good, where I found exciting insights into the intersection of fashion, technology, and a greener tomorrow!
Fashion for Good aims to transform the fashion industry through two key areas: the Innovation Platform (B2B) and the Convener for Change (B2C).
These are my main takes from this cool conversation:
#1 - Innovations Propelling Sustainability 🌍
Partnering with influential brands, their Innovation Platform introduces pioneering sustainable advancements across the fashion supply chain. These innovations are paving the way for a more sustainable future.
#2 - Fashion with a Conscience 👗
Their B2C offering operates through a remarkable museum in Amsterdam, educating consumers about the impact of their fashion choices, and fostering conscious buying habits.
#3 - The Power of Traceability 🔍
Traceability in the fashion industry is more possible now than ever. It's an exciting development allowing for transparency in the supply chain and empowering consumers to choose ethically sourced fashion.
