Payam Safa Interviewed at AI Vibes Summit in Santa Monica

Hey, I'd like to welcome you to another episode of mission matters. My name is Adam Torres and I am in Santa Monica, California today at the AI vibes conference. And let me tell you, having all kinds of fun and who do I see in the crowd and who do I pick out if it's not Mr. Like Dow himself, Pam, man, I'm so good to have you on the show and finally get you on the show. Such a pleasure to be here, brother, man. So first off, what brings you to the conference today? Tal and I actually met at this venue during tech week last year, stayed in touch, became friends. She came to a handful of DAO, LightDAO gatherings over the past few months. And just yeah, a few weeks ago she became a DAO owner. Oh, that's awesome. Now we're looking to co create more AI vibes, LightDAO. Partner events and we'll see where it goes from there. Yeah, it's amazing. For, for those that are listening to this that maybe don't know exactly what Light Dao is, maybe let's, let's, let's set the stage there. Talk a little bit about Light Dao. Yeah. You know, there's a lot of layers to the Dao. In Eastern philosophy, the Dao is the way, the truth, and the one that is everything. In technology language, it stands for a decentralized autonomous organization, which effectively just means a community based organization. So it's decentralized and every DAO owner who you could think of as a member of the community takes on a level of ownership of co creating with the DAO. So hosting gatherings around the world, whether it's virtual or in person. And these individuals are all heart led, conscious leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, change makers who care about doing good, being good for humanity, their own inner, journey of personal growth and also the external business world. So it's all about how we are creating value in alignment with our values, where when we do that, we're kind of sitting at the holy grail of life. And then when you couple the value creation with our value alignment, we call that purpose meets passion and then value comes back and you call that profit. So that's really what we're empowering for each person within the community is how we align our value creation with our values. So this global community of conscious heart led leaders has now grown to over 1800. We've hosted gatherings in over 14 cities. Congrats by the way. That's amazing. I've been following for at least, I believe a year and a half or so now. I believe when I was introduced, maybe going on two years, I feel like I'm, I'm getting to be old school, Appreciate it, brother. Yeah. It's been a quite a journey. Yeah, we've, we've launched in or hosted gatherings in 14 cities now. LA, SF, New York, Dubai, Taipei, Puerto Rico three cities in Australia, Indonesia, Shanghai, China. Rio, Milan, Toronto. So we continue to grow. We continue to build community in each city that we go into really to bring people together. There's been a loneliness crisis over the past I want to say two decades. It's really technology came into the day to day lives of humans. We've become digital creatures and being digital creatures has. You know, you could say to a certain extent has taken away their time and being out there in the world, building real relationships with people that matter and in the blue zones around the world. Pockets of Japan, Costa Rica, and others. People live the longest, they have the longest life expectancy. The primary reason why people have the longest life expectancy in these blue zones is because they have a deep sense of community, deep loving relationships within those communities, and a sense of purpose and belonging within the, with their relationships in those communities. So when you really, really break it down, what really matters in terms of fulfillment and happiness and abundance in life is having a deep sense of loving relationships with both self and others because 100 percent of our time every day is spent in relationship and the more we align value values with ourself and with others the more we're living in abundance. So, so that's, that's part of the core of the mission of what the community is empowering, not just within our community, but each. Individual members communities because everybody within the community is a community leader, like your co founder Chirag yourself. You guys have your own large community, which is why we continue to partner together on different events and gatherings. So far, we've done something together in LA and New York and looking forward to helping expand everything that you guys are doing through more partnerships in other cities around the world. So. So yeah, there's a lot, there's a lot going on in the DAO, but that's just kind of on the surface. A little brief intro. Where did you originally come up with the idea and, and kind of get inspired to create this community and bring people together? Like, like how'd that take place? Yeah, I had a very profound transformational experience of enlightenment about three year
