About Me

Hi - I'm Nick Haaz, creator of the FOUNS project and volunteer at Limpeza de Praias. I've spent years working closely with animals and local communities, and I currently run Stray Strong — a project that installs public dog feeders shaped like Nouns. People call me a "dog whisperer" because of my deep connection with animals.

Nouns Minute is my first official interview series, but I've always loved bringing people together through storytelling. My experience building grassroots projects gave me strong skills in community engagement, which I'm excited to bring to this new adventure.

Content Format

Nouns Minute is a fun, snappy video interview series where each episode lasts 30–60 seconds. We'll ask guests up to 3 short questions, either in person or remotely. It's fast, inclusive, and super shareable—perfect for today's scroll culture.

Content Strategy

The project has two clear missions:

1. Shine a light on what awesome Nouns community members are building.
2. Capture the raw, first impressions of newcomers hearing about Nouns for the first time.

👓 Sample questions for Nounish guests:

• What do you do?
• How has Nouns supported you?
• How did you first discover Nouns?
• Would you recommend Nouns to a friend?

🌱 For non-Nounish guests:

• What do you do?
• What do you think about what I just shared?
• Would you like to be part of something like this?

📅 Publishing Schedule:

• Phase 1: One interview every two weeks
• Phase 2: Weekly interviews as we grow

🎤 First Guests (confirmed): Midnight, Marinioac (Precious Noogles), Bruno (Limpeza de Praias), Estrela, and Miau.

Distribution Plan

📱 The Nouns Minute content will be strategically shared across three main platforms:

• Instagram: Short-form videos as Reels to leverage the platform's visual discovery features and reach new audiences outside the crypto space.

• Warpcast: Regular posts in /nouns and /flows channels to engage directly with the core community and gather valuable feedback.

• X (Twitter): Amplifying reach through tweets with relevant hashtags and @nounsDAO mentions to increase visibility in the broader Web3 space.

I'm developing a consistent visual identity for the project that will help make the content instantly recognizable across all platforms.

Production & Quality

I don't currently have professional equipment, but I'll make the most of what I have and keep it real and authentic.

• Interviews will be recorded using a good phone camera + simple mic
• Natural lighting and clean sound environments
• Edited for clarity and fun captions

(As the project grows, I'll upgrade gear and refine visuals to match.)

Contingency Plan

• Backup list of interviewees ready to go
• Remote interviews available if needed
• Templates and pre-made visuals to streamline production
• I'm open to ideas for complementary content between releases—like quick takes, behind-the-scenes, or visual explainers

Differentiators

What makes Nouns Minute special:

• 1-minute format = high impact, low friction
• Combines storytelling and outreach in one neat package
• Serves as a "time capsule" of what Nouns means to different people
• Humanizes Web3 by making it personal and emotional

Community Engagement

We're building a bridge—between long-time builders and fresh faces curious about Nouns. Each video is a conversation starter and a connection spark.

💡 Extra plans:

• Letting the community vote on future interviewees
• Monthly highlight compilations
• Q&A lives to deepen the dialogue

Success Metrics

We'll track impact through:

• Views and shares per episode
• Growth on Instagram, Warpcast and X
• Community feedback and engagement
• New people discovering and joining Nouns
• Diversity of voices featured

Nounish Values Alignment

Nouns Minute embodies core nounish values in every aspect:

🤝 Do good with no expectation of return: Creating free, accessible content that benefits the entire ecosystem without direct personal gain.

🌱 Create positive externalities: Each interview not only highlights individual stories but strengthens the entire community and attracts new participants.

🎭 Embrace absurdity & difference: Celebrating diverse perspectives and the playful, sometimes quirky nature of the Nouns community.

🧠 Teach people about Nouns & crypto: Making Web3 concepts approachable through personal stories rather than technical jargon.

😊 Have fun: Keeping the format light, engaging, and enjoyable for both participants and viewers.

Implementation Timeline

📆 Month 1: Finalize visual identity, prepare interview templates, conduct first interviews 📆 Month 2: Launch with bi-weekly releases, gather initial feedback 📆 Month 3: Implement community suggestions, continue bi-weekly schedule 📆 Month 4: Evaluate for transition to weekly schedule, explore format expansions 📆 Month 5-6: Develop compilation formats and community voting mechanisms

Long-Term Vision

As Nouns Minute grows, I envision it evolving into a comprehensive oral history project for the Nouns ecosystem. Future possibilities include:

• Themed series focusing on specific aspects of the community
• Collaborative episodes with other Nouns-funded projects
• Annual retrospectives capturing the evolution of the community
• Potential expansion to slightly longer formats for special features

Content Impact

Nouns Minute creates space for people to be seen and heard. It's a fun and accessible way to introduce Nouns, spark curiosity, and document real stories of real people making a difference.

By keeping it short and sweet, we maximize reach—and by staying personal, we make it memorable.
