Is my friend I'm ready bro let's do this [ __ ] let's do it all right so this I'm Actually like I'm quite upset Um and I'll be honest I mean I really Really am Um Gordon got a one of the main founders Of board APR Club posted this tweet About a week ago Um and I'll read it word for word so It's a treat thread and it's it's he Says some heavy news a few days ago I Was told by the doctor I have congestive Heart failure symptoms started last year Out of the blue and I put off seeking Help like an idiot so I could keep Working but after testing my doctor Called me and asked me to radically Change my life firstly my symptoms are Still mild stays why me I can't play With my dog or exercise I can go on Walks travel and live mostly a normal Life but the condition is progressing Pretty fast and that means I need to Make some serious Life Changes what does This mean as it relates to my work at Yuga it means I'm going to be taking a Leave of absence to focus on my health For a while Those of you who know my story know I Lost my 20s to a chronic illness so when I recovered and we started Yuga I didn't Want to waste a second chance at life I Pushed myself way past my limits I Worked 12 hours a day nearly every day I

Should have taken the advice from Everyone around me and sought balance my Goals now are to get the best medical Achievement I can in Hill what next I Will stay on as a board member and Strategic advisor my confidence in Yuka's future Um and crypto Gaga so Gaga's leadership Are unwavering Daniel allegri soon Joining only makes me more bullish while I won't be on the front lines for a While I'm incredibly excited for what The Yuga family has coming this year not A lot of people outside the space know The extent of what we as a community Have done I'm proud of everything that We've achieved and I believe yuga's Impact on web3 is just the beginning all Love from Willie so I'll tell you like My thoughts reading this first of all Um I I do know his story very very well And from from listening to podcasts with Him on and things like that and he was Pretty much bedridden for like five to Six years Um and uh you know in his twenties uh And to think that someone who's gone Through that and found you know Recovered and found a new lease on life Is now having Health Um issues is very upsetting that's Number one number two anytime I see Anything with heart related conditions I Get very emotional because my son Danny

Who's 10 years old has got Um was born with a con With A congenital Heart disease Um has had open heart surgery and is Still dealing with heart issues Um so things like him saying he can't Walk upstairs and things like that it Just touches me because it's you know It's so close to home Um it makes me think you know where will My Dan be in 20 years and and what it May be so that's the other side to it And the other side is that I love yoga Labs and I think that Um Willie or Gordon goner is a massive Part of that Um a really big part um On any of the podcasts and things like That so so that's the three things those Are the three things I'm gonna I'm gonna Ask you what you think now those are the Three things about it right but on the Other side in today's day and age Um you know hard conditions can be fixed And yes it's a massive massive operation A very risky operation to have to have Open heart surgery sometimes they can Actually do it through a stunt a stint Where they don't have to actually Operate on you they're going through a Vein or something I don't know his Proper conditioner but you know I'm Pretty certain that Um you're sorted out and you'll be back

Stronger than before so my parting Thoughts on this before I hand to UK is Um I send in regards I know that he's uh Not going to be watching a little show But I do really wish him the best and I Hope he finds recovery and also what did Touch me is the the work-life balance Which I think is really really important Regardless of anything thing one thing That money can't buy is health and and Time those are the those are the two Things that money can't buy yes you can Have good doctors or whatever but if you Get stage four brain cancer no matter How much money you have and what Treatment you have you know unless You're very lucky your life is going to Radically change it you might not make It right and the same thing with time You cannot borrow more time with money Your my kids are growing up they you Know almost 10 already I can never go Back to when they were one or two and Hold the baby again those babies again You know Um and so time passes so it it it Touched me on many many levels and yeah That's my thinking about okay I'll pass To you my friend Um So with this Gordon guard I think I Think what I've noticed over the last Year is that especially when you cross a Certain uh certain line when a project

Starts to become very much like a Business and the way that boy got Club Is kind of Incorporated itself sort of Got like a CEO they've got an LLC They've got all the things that they Would need to start a business as they Should and and people leave like we just We saw Moon Birds we saw that happen Like a core member of moon Birds left Very early because his his position on The team had a specific role he filled The role he was done with Gordon Goddard He was the founder starter he hasn't Been that I don't think he's very Integral to the team in the sense that In five years if he left today Completely and just disappeared and in Five years would anyone care or notice It like it's just [ __ ] no he's not He's he hasn't like established himself In the same way that like a Bill Gates Did or Steve Jobs did where they're Renowned he's sort of renowned on Twitter but he's been on two podcasts no One knows him no one really is the book It's of nfts nfts haven't been around For as long as Microsoft has The biggest project if Frank D gods and Gordon and Garner walk into a room I bet You anything more people go to Frank Anything I don't agree I agree no one Will even know what Gordon Connor looks Like except for a few boy club people And people who are deeply let me show

You guys let me show you guys like you All realize the the power of like face When people don't see your face very Often you're not actually that important And I do not believe he's as important As people think even though he's like This interval he's integral but I think In four weeks no one will remember I think I I think now board APR club's Got the money and the infrastructure They've got I think almost a hundred Member team that that is not going to Have a huge you know impact on the Day-to-day running of it however I do Think that he was a integral part of That small team in the beginning it was Him it was four of them Um him uh Um Gaga and two others or whatever it's Almost like they don't talk about their Story as much and They've they've built the it's a girl a Lady They've built an incredible project the Best project they they are the ones that Started the airdrops they are the ones That everything that you see they they Pioneered that and he was a big part of That Um and I always respect the first movers In in any industry Um so I respect Gordon gonna very very Much Um I really do do I think that they're

In trouble now without him probably not And I think he'll come back I think He'll recover and come back I have a It's a story that really did uh touch me It really really did Yeah I mean I think I'm down with that I Respect him too I just don't think that This is like people are gonna get mad Because they're like this is it's Important that you stay because you are Important and like that's true for a While until it's just not because you Have to move on like if if you know Whatever like Doodles is is running and Then Jordan poopy.e just dips like it's Gonna make a big of a hit because people A lot of people were in because of him Um but at the same time after a few Weeks everyone has to move on in the Same way that in your favorite TV shows Your main character dies everyone else Has to move on it's just a fact it Doesn't sometimes it doesn't the the TV Show doesn't recover and sometimes that Business doesn't recover I think I think I think they will because they're big Enough too Um whereas when you take a smaller Company or a smaller project where the Main founder the person who's been there From the beginning ends up stepping down You never find someone who understands The project understands the community Has the same passion is willing to work

20 hours a day for seven days a week for It you hire someone you pay them a Salary headaches I'll leave at five Thank you very much I'm not available After hours I'm not available on Weekends that's very different to a Founder of a project to who almost Reared this baby and and cares about it So I think you've lost in not having him Involved in the day-to-day running of it You've lost someone with a power and a Love for this project Um that that is hard to replicate I Don't think you can Um yes there are other Founders so that Helps but I think they are big enough to Overcome it as far as the size of the Amount of people working there Um that things will continue without him And things might certain things where he Was sticking his nose and now they've Got professional marketers might do even Better however if it was a smaller Project with maybe a team of three or Four or five that could be the death Sign before a project like that for sure And to lose your your founding committed Um founder it could be a big thing you Know like I truly believe that if I if I Left my company it would struggle to do Like it does it might it might not Succeed you'll probably have to train Some one but there you probably do it I Mean so no unless you give unless you

Give that new person ownership interest Like almost 50 and and really sit with Him for a very long time so that his Incentivized to have the same and like But yeah this is quite quite abrupt he's Stepping down I think they'll be okay They're big enough to do so I'm just Saying I don't agree that that it would Work with with any project or any Company I think if you're a lot smaller It's very difficult to replicate that Sort of commitment I agree I agree like If sub Ducks if Frankie left you know He's already stepped down and become Like a main artist and like sort of like Creative director kind of but if he Stepped away ah That would suck I would not be stoked About that like I'm pretty much in that Collection because I [ __ ] with the art But I [ __ ] with it because of Frankie's And he's there if he left that'd be Weird you know exactly so so I think and I think that applies to a lot of you Know smaller companies projects things Like that yeah but either way Um thoughts and prayers with him and his Family and I'm sure we'll be okay you Know these things can be fixed Um but yeah definitely big news in the Space that I haven't seen anyone Actually talking about So other big news that I've seen every
