Lex Freidman
Can you tell me a few basic things about him from a viewers perspective. He has a large channel. If he talks with big names with established reputations in the mainstream it will probably be really tough to get him.

@hivecoffee A few basic things about lex, from a viewers perspective: Lex is vary calm, cool, and collected. He enjoys viewing things both from intellectual and spiritual perspective. He seems to be open to talking to many different types of folks, and he makes it a point to get all of his advertising promotions in the first few minutes of the show, and makes a point to not interrupt the interview, and people's trains of thought.
He is a really respectful host, and though it might be a long road getting Dan, and Matt onto his podcast, I believe if we start now.. it is not a question of IF, but Wen..
We need to "attack" his comment section.
Open minded guy.
Watched most of his podcasts and he's the one who would help us reach the audience. The only thing I'm not sure of is if he has some contract with YouTube or something similar
Majority of the 'big names' outside of the realm of crypto are fucking impossible to get a hold of. Especially those in entertainment, they receive countless requests from randoms and not-so randoms, constantly (constantly!). Much of it gets ignored. The icebreaker needs to be solid. It could be months before there's an open window. Could be a month before you get a response. Constantly knocking is unwise while waiting. Best to work from a long list that's kept quiet until one finally answers. You'll usually get a representative. From there, strictly business. Expect a no. Accept the no. Don't try to sweeten the deal. They've heard it all. Follow up with new developments down the road but make sure to ask for an easier means of communication first, "In the event you change your mind."
And sometimes it's easy. So don't be afraid to knock.
Yeah, exactly.
Oh there have been plenty of Noes. You see the names I get but you dont see how many emails were sent out. For 1 yes theres 10-20 noes or ignores.
Sometimes you spend hours digging for eligible targets and even if you find 10 of them after 2-3 hours of digging all 10 might be duds and you wasted your time. Happened a few times.
Its the nature of the work.
I look for gigs sometimes. They don't come to you. You have to go to them. One in twenty is about right. And that's just getting a foot in the door.
I see one comment here about flash mobbing the comment sections. I don't think that'll work. Some of these folks get hundreds of comments hourly and a mob would just fade off and appear like a spam bot is working overtime.
Comment spam can come off aggressive and be counterproductive..
I watch him too, he is really into cryptocurrency recently, talked to few big figures, well aware of Web 2.0 problems and need for decentralized social media.
He talks mostly with more recognized (at least in their fields) people of science, business and sport (martial arts mostly) I bet it's worth trying to set talk with Dan.
Ill give it a shot. Just wanted to know what angle to take. Not promising anything.
A lot of people have been throwing out big names that arent crypto specific in topics covered. We still have to work on our brand and even Dans brand to be able to get on big shows. That takes time and effort since we are a fairly small project in comparison to others.
