What I’ve Been Up To This Week🌍
Whew, it’s been a whirlwind of building and hustling. Here’s the scoop:
Cross Border Summit Ecosystem Glow-Up
I’ve been deep in “community ecosystem” mode for our 7th Annual Cross Border Summit. We’re restructuring the GFAVIP membership—think exclusive perks, amazing gifts for joiners, and sneak peeks for current attendees next week. If you’re not in yet, now’s the time: Join GFAVIP. The energy is electric as October hits—speaker lineup updates dropping soon with prizes, bonuses, and all the chaotic joy of wrangling travel, hotels, and logistics. Who’s joining us? Drop a comment!
Bar Products Launch Frenzy
Our Para Living team is on fire! A fresh batch of bottle pourers just landed in US warehouses—including the fan-favorite from PourAndSeal.com. These bad boys make pouring smooth and spill-free. Stock’s moving fast—head over and grab yours to level up your home bar game.
DAO & Crypto Updates
Hamza DAO: Proposals got pushed back again, but we’re in steady maintenance mode. Big restructure incoming for a more community-driven format—watch this space for collaborative vibes.
Handshake HNS: Tough times with exchanges delisting it (crypto’s wild, right?). Still, we’re locked in for HandyCon 2026 and pushing forward. Lesson learned: Hype > decentralization sometimes, but I believe in the long game. HNS holders, stay strong!

Q4 2025 has me buzzing—let’s all keep pushing ahead with that unstoppable energy. What’s got you fired up this week? Hit reply, share on X (@mike), or join the newsletter for more. See you next time!
