Brett Butler MBA FMVA®

Sales Director

Founder & CEO @ Brass Synergy — the vetted, talent ecosystem for Web3 professionals.

I’ll never forget the lemonade stand I ran when I was eight years old.

It only brought in $100…

But that hustle inspired me to try real estate, forex & stock trading

Ultimately allowing me to build a credit services company from 0 to $5M ARR.

And college? Graduated with a double major and double minor — but I was restless.

And with $5K in graduation money, I went all in on cryptocurrency—

And in 6 months, that investment multiplied to $250K.

I felt unstoppable, scaling a startup’s community to 50,000 and its market cap to over $100M.

But then it happened—

The founder did a rug pull; crashing the project, wiping out millions & turned my world upside down.

I had my Mike Tyson moment—realizing everyone’s got a plan ‘til they get punched in the mouth.

I had no choice but to keep going. So, I pivoted back to financial consulting, managing $50M.

But my entrepreneurial passion persisted.  

I went all in to find answers, and noticed something remarkable.

I connected with countless freelancers, professionals, & companies all who had a similar story.

Applying for countless roles to find out the company or role wasn’t legitimate.

Performing work and not getting paid or taking weeks to receive payment on freelancing platforms.

Or hiring someone only to receive late or poor quality work, costing much needed time and money

I knew there had to be a better way to network, transact, and source talent in a transparent way.

I just needed a sign and during my conversations I made a striking discovery.

Freelancers and Web3 users share a striking resemblance—

70% were millennials and Gen Z with similar age ranges, locations, and interests.

And when the world went remote, it was my cue that now was the time.

HireSphere AI was born—

An AI Powered, full automated, talent verification, recruitment, and workforce management platform with a global verified talent marketplace. 

A fusion of Web3, AI, and Blockchain revolutionizing how people hire and work 
→ Understanding what makes people top performers AND how to consistently validate those skills through robust interviews with deep people science
-> Creating digitally verifiable on-chain profiles to build trust & safety
-> Augmenting the process with AI to match talent with jobs, streamline hiring and verify history
-> Ultimately building the world's best verified global talent marketplace that supports fiat & crypto payments & rewards active members 

I started with a lemonade stand and a dream…

Now we have a global council of the world's best helping us.

And the best part is I’m just getting started.

THE FUTURE OF POLITICS

Since World War II, the "Body-Planet connection" has been gradually deteriorating in a vicious cycle of fast-food, alcohol, drugs, tech-addiction, insomnia and sedentary lifestyle. These modern social pathologies are now so common to become the "new normal" for billions of people around the world.

At the same time, the obnoxious devastation of the Earth - with extensive desertification, flooding and the plastic invasion of cities, forests and oceans - is of such a magnitude that most people - including scientists and politicians – don't really know how to tackle it. Similarly, traditional religions and school systems are disoriented in a new multipolar society dominated by complex economic systems, pervasive digital media and fast-evolving technology. 

In such a multifaceted world, politicians are either short-sighted, or simply incapable to devise structural and long-term solutions for the collective good. At the same time, the rich are becoming richer, and the middle-class is being impoverished worldwide. These dynamics - together with the new arm race in Europe, USA, Asia and the Middle East - is slowing down public and private 
investments in clean energy transition, social infrastructure, sustainable mobility and extreme weather events prevention & response.

The only global institution promoting sustainable development – the United Nations – has lost its effectiveness, reputation and political leverage under a weak and unexciting leadership. The same has happened to the European Union which, initially, had played a leading role in promoting the global climate agenda, and now lost its impetus.

In this chaotic world, Artificial Intelligence is dangerously infiltrating all aspects of our lives at such a pace that it's becoming difficult for most politicians to understand what it is, how to govern and use it for the public good. 

In the future, traditional politics will not exist anymore. On one hand, there will be a fragmentation of traditional political parties operating online and locally, not anymore at country levels. On the other hand, all national parties, entities and movements engaged in environmental protection will converge in a global PLANET PARTY operating on the blockchain and leading the construction of a new world order in which Humans, Planet & Technology will co-exist harmoniously for the benefit of all.

___________________________________________________________

THE 5TH REVOLUTION

The 5th Revolution is a new era of human consciousness where People, Machines and Nature live and grow in harmony.

We all operate in a holographic universe where the cells of our body, the cadence of time, the flow of money and the movements of the stars are rhythmically interconnected; like in a cosmic symphony that only highly-conscious people, tribes and civilizations can decode and play.

Although the current proliferation of wars, poverty, decaying politics and raging nature has been degrading the living standards of the majority of the world population, humanity is gradually raising its frequency towards a new energy wave of enlightenment. Such an evolution is expanding human consciousness, and heightening awareness about the inextricable interconnection between the Body and the Planet, as it had always been for millions of years, until the first industrial revolution in the XIX century. 

An indication of this elevated consciousness is the recent multiplication of nature-based inventions, eco-business enterprises and community initiatives in all major economic sectors – energy, agritech, mobility, fashion 
and wellness - all over the world: from Africa and Asia, to Europe and the Americas. This evolution reflects the collapse of the traditional social systems that have governed the "Humans-Planet" relation thus far – Family, Religions, Schools and Politics - and the emergence of a new era dominated by the triple "Humans-Machines-Planet" nexus.

QUASI-ROBOT BEINGS

Although most people don't even think about it, the truth is that we have already become quasi-robot beings. 

During the last three decades, technology has been reshaping all aspects of human life. In fact, we are just a thumb away from installing a chip in our brain and inextricably connecting our nervous system to the web. Today, nearly every adult on Earth owns a mobile phone. In the modern "economy of attention", social media and personal branding have become new drugs, and indispensable tools to survive and succeed in business and life.

Indeed, investors and even Governments increasingly venture on the blockchain. Enterprises depend on digital strategies and AI-powered workflows. Digitalization has become the 4th essential element for humans, after millennia of Soul-Mind-Body integration. 

Thus, the next tech-gen will either upgrade humanity to a new level of longevity and prosperity, or slowly degrade into some form of cyber-slavery. Humans are now facing the dilemma of either living rutted in comfortable chairs, watching seamless video-screens with small legs and fluffy bodies; or using technology to expand consciousness, learn the language of waves, clouds and butterflies, and reach new existential heights: both physical and mental. This is the paradox of the 5th Revolution: an upcoming era where People, Planet and Machines will either live and prosper together, or slowly decay and destroy each other.

"CONNECTING WITH THE WEB"

Depending on your business or occupation, connecting with digital media may vary in purpose and duration. Whatever you do, you must use technology and build a solid presence on the worldwide WEB to position yourself and your business in the new global smart economy.

Based on the latest neuroscience-backed protocols, you should execute a deep-work morning session of 90 minutes in line with the duration of an ultradian cycle. This will optimize your productivity and ensure maximum morning efficiency. You may repeat 90-minute deep-work cycles 2-3 more times during the day according to your agenda and requirements. You decide 
how to fill these slots with emotional and creative assignments (like, personal calls or meetings; writing emails, articles or posts), and/or "operational" tasks like financial transactions, legal or accounting duties. In any case, you will need to use some kind of both hardware and sofware.

As explained in the previous ritual - "Primal Connections" (see linj above) - you must connect FIRST with your Body (your physiology, your inner technology), then with Nature, and finally with the Web and social media. 

In PLANETOLOGY, this is called the "Body - Nature - Web Equation".

This way, your health immediately improves; energy increases; inter-personal relations harmonize; and you set yourself on the fast track for success in business and life. 

Download the PLANETOLOGY ebook on Amazon to read and. study the full "QUANTUM CONNECTIONS" ritual, together with other exclusive body-mind exercise to quickly elevate your health, interpersonal and business performance to the next level.

"THE SOMATIC DIMENSION OF THE CLIMATE CRISIS"

My 30+ years of work with the United Nations - in the poorest and richest countries on Earth - has made me understand how Humans instinctively operate in relation to Nature. 

Despite the current world situation appears frightful - with a multiplication of wars, environmental disasters and technological threats - Humanity is elevating its energetic frequency, and evolving towards a new timeline where People, Planet and Technology  exist and prosper in harmony. 

Even with all its flaws, the United Nations' "Agenda 2030" – and 
the related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – remain the only guiding framework of action for this decade. The next 5 years will indeed be critical to consolidate the clean energy transition, and govern the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to all social dynamics and industrial systems worldwide.

While the global climate crisis is multidimensional - mainly political, economic and technological - PLANETOLOGY go deepr by tackling its consciousness and somatic causes. In fact, in its essence, the ongoing climate calamity is mainly generated by a distorted relation between human bodies and Earth's natural elements - Air, Water, Land, Light and Temperature - with our lifestyle become almost totally artificial, and disconnected from Nature. 

While Politics, Economy and Technology remain critical, the only real solution to the current climate threat demands regaining awareness of our Mind-Body relationship with the Environment. This book elucidates what you should do daily to recover this lost Body-Planet connection, thus achieving inner peace, radiant health, purposeful success and economic prosperity in record 
time.

This revolutionary science of human achievement - at the intersection between Sustainability, Longevity & Technology - is called PLANETOLOGY.

PLANET GOLD [Reel] - “THE MAGIC OF STORYTELLING” 🪄🌍
Can storytelling amplify the climate agenda and put the Planet back at the center of human existence? Futurist and filmmaker Lucian Tarnowski joins me on PLANET GOLD eco-podcast to discuss the transformative power of media. We explore how the multiple languages spoken by the Planet - clouds, waves and whales - can reshape the global narrative and drive systemic change. Can AI help us decoding these ancient languages..?

In this reel, Lucian answers my"Magic Wand" question to elevate the global climate agenda! ✨

If you had a magic wand, what one thing would you change today? 👇
