Hello everyone, I’m Telmo, a long time supporter of the Nervos Network. I’ve been actively involved in the community, particularly with projects related to NFTs, community building, and fostering connections. After conceptualizing Telmo Talks in 2023, we have live streamed a Pilot with a very warm reception by the community. However, due to resource limitations and inadequate setup, further episodes were postponed.

Over the past few months, I’ve seen a remarkable surge in strength and unity within the Nervos community. I have joined forces with two of the most motivated individuals, who have become not just colleagues but also friends, and the journey has been incredibly empowering. Encouraging feedback given by the community with reagards to my efforts has further fueled my determination to push forward with the talk show. So, I’ve drafted a proposal looking forward to getting your help, to enhance the talk show with a professional setup, overcome previous challenges, and relaunch these talks with renewed vigor.
Proposal Overview
I propose to restart the podcast, Telmo Talks, and make it available on multiple platforms such as YouTube, X, and Spotify. Starting in March, and maintaining a regular schedule of 1 talk per week. For now, the plan is to do the interviews remotely. However, interviewing face-to-face is something on the table for a later more advanced stage. This podcast aims to provide a platform for sharing news, developments, events, insights, pretty much everything about Nervos, making it accessible to the wider audience, including those new to the ecosystem.
To assist me, I’ll be counting on the support of Albert Tang and Vivek Iyer, both longstanding members of the community. Albert will serve as co-host and will be responsible for scripting, guidelines, and video production. Vivek will also contribute to scripting, guidelines, and video production.
We place a high priority on transparency and authenticity in everything we do. And we do not hide behind any alias, both of us use our real names, openly show our faces, and provided details about our backgrounds. This way, you all know exactly who we are.
Concept
The core concept is to engage with various individuals within the community, including developers, foundation members, community managers, impactful community members, as well as spotlighting projects and NFT artists. The aim is to create a show that resonates with a broad audience by avoiding excessive technical jargon and focusing on making topics easily understandable.
This show is envisioned as a platform for people to connect with each other in a relaxed conversational setting. Each episode will offer viewers the opportunity to learn more about the guests, their projects, and other relevant topics of interest at the moment. To ensure coherence viewer focus, there will be thorough preparation before each talk, aligning with the topics to be discussed.
In terms of episode length, I aim for each segment to be between 30 to 45 minutes, adapting based on the depth and number of topics to be covered. Ultimately, the goal is to keep the episodes concise, engaging, and entertaining.
Guests and Topics
So far, we’ve curated a diverse lineup of guests for the launch, including Matt Quinn, 57U, Neon NFT Nation, Rabbit, Jordan Mack, Nevdex, Rory from Nervapes, and various NFT artists. All people you know, love and respect form the Nervos Network comunity. Topics will range from guest introductions and project discussions to personal journeys, industry insights, and community exploration. Each episode will be meticulously prepared to ensure coherence and relevance, offering viewers valuable insights and engaging discussions.
Budget
In response to feedback given, we’ve refined our budget to align with milestones. Our revised budget of $7500 includes essential equipment, setup customization, promotional elements and a giveaway fund:
- Good-Quality Cameras: for remote or in-person interviews.
- Professional Microphones: Studio microphones plus a wireless lavalier microphone set for in-person interviews.
- Lighting Equipment: Essential for enhancing video quality and creating a professional atmosphere.
- Stream Deck: For live streams.
- Headphones: Ensuring clear communication.
- Setup Customization: Including acoustic isolation, storage cabinet, custom neon signs for Telmo Talks and Nervos, and other promotional elements for branding.
- Allocation for Giveaways: Such as branded Telmo Talks and Nervos merchandise.
First impressions matter, and our goal is to create a professional atmosphere devoid of distractions and without giving off an amateurish vibe. I value durability and reliability, and while we acknowledge that we could potentially achieve somewhat good results with less expensive gear, I believe that cutting corners in this aspect would compromise the overall vision. Personally, I would prefer to invest in high-quality equipment once rather than constantly needing to upgrade. Ultimately, I believe that having the right tools will contribute to the success and longevity of the program.
Milestone Breakdown and Setup Dates:
-
Buy Gear and Setup Customization:
- This milestone involves purchasing all the necessary equipment for the talk show, including cameras, microphones, lighting equipment, stream deck, headphones, as well as setup customization materials such as soundproofing sets and lighting fixtures.
- Budget allocated for “Buy Gear and Setup Customization” milestone: $3500
-
Build Setup:
- This milestone encompasses setting up the studio environment, including installing lighting equipment, configuring audiovisual gear, and completing any remaining setup customization tasks.
- Budget allocated for “Build Setup” milestone: $2000
-
Go Live:
- This milestone marks the launch of the talk show, where we begin streaming episodes on various platforms like YouTube, X, and Spotify. It includes costs associated with promotional activities, initial marketing efforts, and potential giveaways to engage the audience.
- Budget allocated for “Go Live” milestone: $2000
Setup Dates: (The dates below are just an example, to have accurate dates the proposal will need to be approved first).
- Proposal Approval Date: February 24, 2024 (The start of the project)
- Gear and setup items Purchase Completion Date: March 2, 2024
- First Episode Launch Date: March 17, 2024
The total amount can be disbursed in a single transaction, taking into account the short time frame between disbursements and the immediate needs. However, the final decision rests with the grant moderator.
Long-Term Sustainability
Regarding compensation for our work with the Talks, we will not require any from the community. We dedicate our efforts to serving it, and we are committed to maintaining the podcast for the long haul, as long as it remains relevant and appreciated.
Regarding availability, our team is spread across three different continents, Portugal, United States, and Australia. This setup allows us to effectively run a project that almost never sleeps, giving us the advantage of staying constantly updated on developments and promptly notifying each other as well as to pick up on any work left to be done.
In terms of sustainability in th long run, we are aiming for Telmo Talks to be self-sustainable through compensation generated by YouTube, spotify and X creator’s programs as well as advertisement revenue from Telmo Talks-related products. By establishing the professional setup and delivering frequent content, I also expect to attract advertisers, sponsors, and donors aligned with the vision and values.
The long-term goal for Telmo Talks is to participate in crypto conventions and conduct in-person interviews. However, it’s essential to emphasize that this is a long-term goal that will require significant financial return from the talks, meaning it probably won’t happen as soon as we’d like to.
This is it. Hope you give it an in-depth thought and consider a favorable vote, looking forward to having this opportunity.

大家好，我是Telmo，是Nervos Network的长期支持者。我一直积极参与社区活动，特别是与NFT相关的项目、社区建设和促进连接的项目。在2023年构思Telmo Talks后，我们通过一期试播节目进行了现场直播，受到了社区的热烈欢迎。然而，由于资源限制和不足的设置，进一步的节目被推迟了。

在过去的几个月里，我看到了Nervos社区内力量和团结的显著增长。我与两位最有动力的个人联手，他们不仅成为了同事，还成为了朋友，这段旅程让人感到非常有力量。社区对我的努力给予了鼓励性的反馈，进一步激发了我推动谈话节目的决心。因此，我起草了一份提案，期待得到您的帮助，以提升谈话节目的专业设置，克服以往的挑战，并以全新的活力重新推出这些谈话。
提案概述
我提议重新启动播客Telmo Talks，并在YouTube、X和Spotify等多个平台上提供。从三月开始，保持每周1次的定期安排。目前，计划是远程进行采访。然而，面对面采访是以后更高级阶段的一个考虑因素。这个播客旨在提供一个平台，分享关于Nervos的新闻、发展、事件、见解，以及其他几乎关于Nervos的所有内容，使之能够被更广泛的受众，包括那些新接触生态系统的人所了解。
为了帮助我，我将依靠社区的支持Albert Tang和Vivek Iyer，他们都是社区的资深成员。Albert将担任联合主持人，负责剧本、指南和视频制作。Vivek也将贡献于剧本、指南和视频制作。
我们高度重视透明度和真实性。我们不隐藏在任何别名背后，我们两个都使用我们的真实姓名，公开展示我们的面孔，并提供我们背景的细节。这样，你们都知道我们是谁。
概念
核心概念是与社区内的各种个人进行互动，包括开发者、基金会成员、社区经理、有影响力的社区成员，以及重点关注项目和NFT艺术家。目标是创造一档与广大受众共鸣的节目，避免使用过多的技术术语，重点放在使话题易于理解上。
这个节目被构想成一个让人们在轻松的对话环境中相互连接的平台。每一集都会为观众提供了解嘉宾、他们的项目和其他相关话题的机会。为了确保连贯性和观众关注度，在每次讨论之前都会进行充分的准备，与要讨论的话题保持一致。
在节目长度方面，我希望每个部分的长度在30到45分钟之间，根据要讨论的话题的深度和数量进行调整。最终，目标是保持节目简洁、吸引人，并富有娱乐性。
嘉宾和话题
到目前为止，我们已经为首播节目策划了一个多样化的嘉宾阵容，包括Matt Quinn、57U、Neon NFT Nation、Rabbit、Jordan Mack、Nevdex、来自Nervapes的Rory，以及各种NFT艺术家。所有这些人都是你们认识、喜爱和尊重的Nervos Network社区的成员。话题将涵盖嘉宾介绍、项目讨论、个人经历、行业见解和社区探索等。每一集都将经过精心准备，以确保连贯性和相关性，为观众提供有价值的见解和引人入胜的讨论。
预算
针对给出的反馈，我们已经调整了我们的预算以符合里程碑。我们修订后的预算为7500美元，包括基本设备、设置定制、促销元素和奖品基金：
- 高质量相机： 用于远程或面对面采访。
- 专业话筒： 工作室话筒以及用于面对面采访的无线领夹话筒套装。
- 灯光设备： 提升视频质量并营造专业氛围的必要设备。
- 流媒体控制板：
用于直播。
5. 耳机： 确保清晰的沟通。
6. 设置定制： 包括隔音、储物柜、为Telmo Talks和Nervos定制的霓虹灯标志，以及其他用于品牌推广的促销元素。
7. 奖品分配： 比如品牌为Telmo Talks和Nervos的商品。
第一印象很重要，我们的目标是创造一个专业的氛围，避免分散注意力并且不显得业余。我重视设备的耐用性和可靠性，虽然我们承认我们可以用更便宜的设备取得相当好的结果，但我相信在这方面吝啬会损害整体愿景。个人而言，我更愿意一次性投资于高质量的设备，而不是不断地需要升级。最终，我相信拥有正确的工具将有助于节目的成功和长期发展。

长期可持续性
关于我们在Talks中的工作的补偿，我们不会要求社区提供任何补偿。我们致力于为社区服务，并承诺长期保持播客，只要它保持相关性和受到欢迎。
关于可用性，我们的团队分布在三个不同的大陆，葡萄牙、美国和澳大利亚。这种设置使我们能够有效地运行一个几乎不休息的项目，让我们有了时刻保持更新发展并及时通知彼此以及拾起任何未完成工作的优势。
就长期可持续性而言，我们的目标是通过YouTube、Spotify和X的创作者计划产生的补偿以及与Telmo Talks相关的产品的广告收入来实现自我可持续。通过建立专业的设置并提供频繁的内容，我还希望吸引与愿景和价值观一致的广告商、赞助商和捐赠者。
Telmo Talks的长期目标是参加加密货币大会并进行面对面采访。然而，需要强调的是，这是一个长期的目标，将需要来自Talks的显著财务回报，这意味着它可能不会像我们希望的那样迅速发生。
这就是全部。希望你们认真考虑并考虑支持，期待有这个机会。
and thank you for the feedback.
