Hello fellow Stemians,
I was introduced to Steemit recently by the wonderful Anja from @connecteconomy. It’s been a bit of a learning curve but really enjoying being here.
:-)
My 2 minute intro video is here
I’m originally from Ireland, now living in London.
My background is in music (piano, flute) and I’ve worked for the BBC Proms and BBC Radio 3.
I’m interested in the potential of blockchain and how it can improve the world we currently live in - no better place to learn about this technology than interacting on Steemit.
I enjoy writing about life, philosophy, and my crypto journey. I have a particular interest in society and culture and the impact of 4,000 years of patriarchy.
We’re so out of balance as a species and it’s time for embracing what we’ve devalued for so long - our inner wisdom, respect for nature, collaboration as oppose to competition, time for rest and reflection. It’s a new way of living for a new age. I hope you’ll join me on my journey!
I’d had the pleasure of meeting fellow Stemians in person last week @dougalporteus @oracle-d @adetorrent @teodora @colossus39 at the London Steemit meet up organised by the wonderful @redrica
I got featured in a few videos and photos…. ! (was too busy engrossed in conversation to take my own)
Cool video created by @redrica here
Some pics here by @teodora

Looking forward to connecting with you more.
Hi and welcome here! When I started on steemit, my biggest problem was to find interesting people to interact with. So, to help newcomers getting started I created a directory with other interesting and or talented steemians to follow or interact with. Feel free to check it out at https://www.steemiandir.com I am sure it will help you find like-minded people. Enjoy your stay here and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!
Brilliant intro, well done, it was a pleasure to meet you at the meetup, it definitely feels to me that there is something special going on here !
You did miss the O out of my name, there is normally a bot on here that points that out, lol !
I got more votes for the video I posted about it than I have had before and did feature you quite a bit, looking forward to your philosophical posts, have fun !
Doh -sorry about the misspell.
Oh it must be me in the video and my magic touch that enhanced your upvotes 😁

Ha ha, maybe you should rename yourself as Midas ? Be blessed ! Big hugs x
Welcome to the chain.
If you're interested in society and culture you'll find steem fascinating - not least 'cos you still won't understand it a year from now, I'm still figuring it out.
Can't go far wrong with the London meet ups tho'.

Thank you
I wish you good steeming and have fun
Impressive to see you both already have a video and have participated in a meetup already! I have yet to do either but find the community and ecosystem amazing. It will be interesting to get your perspective given your media background.
Welcome to Steem! You have taken the first step in achieving many goals here at the crossroads of cryptocurrencies, blockchain, and social media. Consistent engagement is needed to progress and grow your following and influence. I am currently working on a weekly post to curate new users and providing them an introduction to the ecosystem. I have selected your post as one I will feature in an upcoming post! In addition, I have published a post that provides great references to assist you in your journey. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or feedback! Below is a brief summary I often share with new users to help them on their journey!
That is very kind @newageinv thank you
Hello and welcome toolanm, I'd welcome you to take a look at a project called MakerDao. That'll help you realize what's possible when trust between individuals or groups of people is no longer a thing to consider. And what's even more amazing is that people are building other services on top of each other, all without middlemen and without permission from anyone!
I'm sure researching blockchain will give a lot of food for thought, I know it has done so for many of us here. There's a reason people say it's like jumping down the rabbit hole, it can consume one for some time as you learn more and think how the future could look like when this technology becomes mainstream.
So good luck in your journey, take your time and enjoy it :)
You are welcome to share your views on Steem blockchain, do enjoy your stay here I bet you would love it 😊
Thank you so much
