The other day I told a friend that Angela Nikolau follows me, the creator famous for her extreme rooftop climbs, including the Empire State Building.

Her reaction was: “Wait, you never told me this? That’s actually huge.”
And it made me realize how much your perspective changes when you spend years building in a space.
Things that once would have felt unreal slowly become your normal. You stop pausing at every milestone because your mind is already focused on the next goal.
Looking back, it’s pretty crazy that people I admired when I started, like XCOPY, OpenSea, Farokh, Claire Silver, and many others, now follow me. Some even own my 1/1 NFTs.
I’m grateful for how far I’ve come, but I think the best part is realizing there’s still so much more to build.
