GRANT MISSION, IMPACT, RISKS & REFERENCE

Grant Mission:         I'm proposing the Stacks Foundation be the first official sponsor for the Built on Bitcoin podcast for the remainder of 2022. This will allow me to continue to interview Stacks builders around the ecosystem, do weekly roundups, and include one addition topic deep-dive episode per week.

Grant Impact:               There's alot of innovative projects being built in Stacks. Unfortunately engineers typically have a "Built it and they will come" mentality. Distribution is just as important as product. The podcast is a consistent source of information for Stackers to learn and engage with the things being built and learn about the people behind these projects.

Grant Risks:                          Scheduling with podcast guests can be tricky. Need to make sure their is enough time to consistently get an episode out every Friday.

GRANT ROADMAP & DELIVERABLES

MILESTONE 1:

Deliverable:                   Every episode will feature an ad-read for Stacks Foundation programs.

FINAL DELIVERABLE

Deliverable:                   Every piece of content has a call to somewhere in Stacks.

Copied this completed grant over from the old dashboard for tracking purposes.

Relevant info: Update: I have been adding an ad read to every episode since a week after the grant was funded. This includes a read on the YouTube video, podcast episode and links put into the descriptions on all the above platforms as well as the main website, builtonbitcoin.xyz. In the ad read, my main focus has been for Clarity developers and have been directing people to start.stacks.org. Here's the video that is getting included. https://www.dropbox.com/s/5r8l9mug7g9axn9/built%20on%20bitcoin%20ad%20read%20-%20clairty%20mp4.mp4?dl=0 You can watch the latest video here and see how it looks in the wild. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_XN2D9kiPM These are the links I've been directing people to. Learn Clarity: https://start.stacks.org/ Learn more about Stacks: https://stacks.co/ Apply for a grant: https://stacks.org/grants That's the latest. Let me know your thoughts on this style. Open to exploring if you think there's a better way or different place you'd like to direct traffic.
