Last week, HUG 🤗 held our biggest event ever as nearly 1000 attendees came to celebrate the first-ever HUGFest with us at the The Canvas Global, Inc. in New York City! It was such a joy that I'm already dreaming up how we'll bring it back bigger and better. Meanwhile, outside of my world that is all things HUG, the tech space can't stop talking about Farcaster! Additionally, new advancements with Hume AI have us wondering if AI could ever play a role in therapy. Here's what you need to know ❤️PS - Since kicking off this newsletter a few months, we've grown 25,000 subscribers! I'm so thankful for all of you who are learning with me every week.

I was able to run in two half-marathons recently! Even when it's in less-than-ideal weather, it feels great to be back at it. This week, the art & tech world are all buzzing over Sora, Open AI's text-to-video model. Meanwhile, the emergence of brian-computer interfaces has me contemplating technology's capability to take telepathy from sci-fi to the real deal. On that note, HUGFest is only a few days away!! Come hang out with me and all my favorite artists in NYC this Tuesday. Tickets are free, but 1300(!!!) are already gone. Get yours while you can: 🎟️ https://hugfest.art

Just because you need to slow down or hit pause, does not mean you need to stop! After injuring my hamstring a month ago, I'm back at it and running half-marathons pain-free. While technically, both running and one's creative practice aren't thought of as 'team sports', I certainly couldn't do either without my team rooting for me from the sidelines. With that, here's what I'm reading up on this past week: - YouTube gets transparent with AI Content through new labels- Starbucks waves goodbye to Web3 Rewards Program, OdysseyDon't forget! You can come hang out with me in person at HUGFest next week! Over 1000 people have claimed tickets, so grab yours while some still remain. 🎟️ Free tickets: https://hugfest.art

"Are we back?"Questions I ask myself both in reference to the crypto marketing returning *AND* the fact that I just went on my first long run after a hamstring injury put me into rest and recovery mode. It's okay to be cautiously excited in life... I know I am! This week on What You Need to Know: - X poses as a competitor to YouTube with the introduction of long-form videos - Fairweather friends no more, Midjourney's generative AI introduces "character consistency" in latest updatePS: COME SEE ME IN PERSON AT HUGFEST!

Happy International Women's Day! Listen, I'll be honest: Working in a women-led business isn't without its frustrations. In the same way it was difficult to be the only woman in the room for the early part of my tech career, it can be difficult to be one of the few women-led businesses in any ecosystem. Even still, I wouldn't trade it for the world, especially working with Debbie Soon and Alexandra Cavoulacos at HUG 🤗! This week: 📺 We're in USA TODAY! HUG & Loupe Art take over your TV in support of IWD. (Cheers, Michele Tobin!)📈 Bitcoin reaches a new ATH of $70,000📼 Yes, Microsoft lawyers are actually comparing AI to VCRs#internationalwomensday #iwd #iwd2024 #girlssupportgirls #womensempowerment #womenentrepreneurs

I spent a lot of my early career being the only woman in the room. It wasn't always easy to make my path or feel seen. Since then, I've dedicated myself to helping women feel seen in the ways I didn't. That's why in honor of #WomensHistoryMonth, I'm excited to share that HUG 🤗 is teaming up with fellow female-led business Loupe Art to share HUG-curated women-identifying artists on Loupe Art's innovative streaming platform! You can join over 700,000 subscribers to stream HUG from your devices through Apple TV, Google Play, FireTV, Samsung TV, and more by visiting Loupe’s website: https://lnkd.in/eAf-263TIt's an incredible feeling to take an artist from feeling unseen to being seen, shared, AND celebrated. Thank you so much to Michele Tobin, Dijana Ilieva, Gabriella Silvagnoli, and everyone on the Loupe Team for making this a reality! Our first (of many!) collaborative episodes will go live on Loupe this Friday, on #InternationalWomensDay2024!
