Hello again Cyclofamily near and far

As a team we have been putting in consistent work for over a year. This has been an extremely educational and profound experience for all of us. We wanted to share what we’ve been up to the last two months as we move forward into 2023. We appreciate you all and can not wait to make an impact together again this coming year.

Cycloturtle NFTs

As we know, the connection we share to each other as turtles is more than just a pfp. The community comradery and collective effort over the past year has been overflowing. But with Stephen Rodan Launching the C.H.A.R.M. AI robot, we see just one of our many goals well on the way to completion.

We value you as an individual, and as part of our community of folks that simply get it done. The relationships built and all the chats we’ve had throughout the web 3 space have been magic to us. None of this would have been possible without your interest in collaborating toward a better future and we thank you for your amazing support. Stay tuned into discord and twitter this month as we begin to roll out some eye-popping changes with our very own ChocRice leading the charge.

Events and Engagement

For the month of November the whole central team was able to physically be together. This allowed us to really showcase our skills IRL like never before.

This power packed month included tons of events from interviews to conferences with all kinds of holder meetings along the way. Starting in early November we threw a holder’s event at Ivy pools and got to meet heaps of Aussie holders.

 

From there we enjoyed our third appearance  on Degen Aussie Apes podcast with our own Hill Willams delivering our understanding of value in Web 3.

Full steam ahead headed up the Coast from Sydney. Throughout the next several weeks we had meetups in Noosa and Gold Coast, stopping to have a visit with NFTGC building many lasting friendships, while developing strong partnerships all along the way.
 

The warm reception we have received in this space is overwhelming, the NotEssential brand is growing quickly and has a strong positive presence within Web 3. Continuing back into Sydney we had the opportunity to share our values with preschool children. This was a fantastic opportunity for us to support individual creativity as well as teach lessons of sustainability, friendship, and perseverance. Overall the experience was absolute magic for us and we loved listening intently to all the children had to share.

 

NFT FEST

The squad pushed on through the rest of the month all the way to Melbourne for NFT Fest. This is part of continuing our efforts to connect other skilled friends throughout the industry. From many standpoints this event was more than we could have asked for, but the individuals we met making changes in the world simply were magnetic. From one-on-one talks, to mini podcasts, and intently listening in the audience, we did it all. The amount of knowledge gained was only paralleled by the amount of comradery and collaborative intention we felt with so many that attended. The experience showed us just how many people really are willing to come alongside and help us put forth such a positive intention into the world. This is a much-welcomed confirmation of our direction and function overall. We are making waves as a family and we can not wait for the coming year ahead, but we still have several surprises in store for the year end.

Moving ahead.

As we move through December we know the release of Care package is on its way into the new year. New art will be delivered Q1 2023 and Reconnect Island is just around the corner. While this first year has been full of challenges, as a community and as a core team we have put our best foot forward and our goals are falling into place. The amount of time and communication involved in this effort is immense and we have consistently risen to the challenge. We simply want to encourage you to get involved. We have always seen NotEssential as a collaborative effort and we will continue to add to the team as contributors and community members jump on board. We absolutely look forward with a focused team approach to 2023. With more beach clean ups, impactful events, and travel in store, we believe the true strength of our community will be felt worldwide throughout this coming year! 

We love you family. We are grateful and humbled by this opportunity to grow with you.

 

Words for wisdom.

Kaizen

Kaizen is a Japanese concept referring to business activities. The basis of the concept is constant improvement. It is the motivation used to continuously improve all functions of business and involve all employees. In the last year NotEssential has sought to apply this method of improvement at every turn.

We build connection and community to create a better way forward together, and as always we know:

Individually we are NotEssential. Together we are all Essential.
