Want to work with us at Seeds? 💗
As many of you know, our entire community-facing team consists of my teammate Michael and me...and we've grown enough that we need more support!
Thanks to suggestions from within the Seeds community (appreciate you Jack and Di!), we're launching a general Discord.
I'd been hesitant to do this for years because of all the misogyny/general hatefulness I saw in various crypto Telegrams, but we've been doing what we do for long enough now that we've attracted a lot of good, giving energy, and I'm not concerned about this being a problem today.
So! Here's what I think we need in a collaborator based on what I know at this time:
Kindness, and a deep resonance with the work we're doing to transcend what's broken in the old economic system
Resourcefulness. We're still learning and adjusting every day, based on the feedback we receive when humans engage with the Seeds ecosystem, and challenges appear with frequency. We need someone who is excited by this reality, rather than intimidated by it.
An understanding that it's not super fun every second. Sometimes it's really hard, and some of the tasks we have to do are boring. ::shrugs::
An ability to set boundaries with grace, as often this is the kindest thing a person can do, for both self and others.
A demonstrated interest in Vipassana meditation: you're either already a meditator, or you're excited about the prospect of attending a course soon, and committed to doing so in the next 6 months.
Autonomy. We work almost completely remotely, and want collaborators who enjoy this kind of arrangement.
Strong written English skills.
To start, our new collaborator will be in charge of taking care of people through the Discord, and may answer questions via email to some extent as well. Based on what we know right now, I'd say it will probably be a time commitment of less than an hour per weekday.
If it's a good mutual fit, the role can expand as Seeds does, and we want pay to feel generous. It can be in SEEDS, in USD, and/or in some combination of the two.
If you're interested, please email us at team@seedsgives.com with subject heading 'Would like to collaborate.'
In the body, address each bullet point I mention above as you see fit, and let us know what pay you feel would be generous, and what percentage of that pay you'd like to see in SEEDS and/or in USD.
We appreciate each and every person interested, but please know that depending on volume, we may only have the capacity to reply to those that we feel could be the right fit at this time.
As ever, if you'd like to help someone in need & receive SEEDS in thanks, we're grateful if you'd do so. Putri only has $742 to go to fulfill her need to rebuild her shop after a fire.
Appreciate you all. 💗 Thank you!
