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.

I work at the intersection of strategy and execution, where ideas either turn into momentum or die quietly in a deck.I’m a marketing strategist who builds what I design. That means I develop positioning, messaging, and growth strategy, then translate it directly into content, campaigns, and systems that actually ship. I live close enough to execution to know what survives contact with reality, and close enough to strategy to make sure the work has a spine.My background spans B2B, B2C, nonprofit, and editorial work. I’ve led campaigns, built content engines, ghostwritten thought leadership, run experiments, analyzed performance, and iterated in public. I’m as comfortable with narrative and audience psychology as I am with data, funnels, and distribution mechanics.I do my best work where clarity is required, complexity is unavoidable, and the stakes are human. I care about accessibility, precision, and making work that respects the people on the other side of the screen. I don’t separate insight from impact, or strategy from responsibility.Right now, I’m building an agency while staying open to the right strategic role, one that values thinking, judgment, and the ability to carry an idea from first principle to finished execution.If you’re looking for someone who can decide what to do, why it matters, and then build the thing that proves it, you’re in the right place.P.S. If you're a brand, let's talk.

🗓 January 29, 2026
⏰ 2:00 PM EST
🎤 Panel discussion

I’ll be joined by Chris Croft, Pearlé Nwaezeigwe, and Anmol Goel for a very practical conversation about where entrepreneurship is headed and how to prepare for it without burning yourself out.

We’ll be digging into:
– The skills that matter going forward (and which ones quietly stopped pulling their weight)
– Systems that reduce cognitive load and support growth
– Income structures that create stability beyond one-to-one work
– How founders and creators are using tech and AI in grounded, sustainable ways
– Common growth traps that keep businesses fragile

This session is built for founders, creators, and business owners who want their work to scale with them, without turning their nervous system into collateral damage.
