Meet this weeks guest
@fokusnow

When we talk about Hive, it’s often about the social media aspects of the Blockchain. Yet there are other powerful utilities, one of which is HBD. Today we are excited to chat with our guest: @fokusnow —a man with an amazing story of leveraging HBD to create a real world business and single handedly becoming an onboarding powerhouse. Creating an innovative shopping experience based completely around HBD. Leveraging tools like @spendhbd and @distriator to create a circular parallel economy. Demonstrating the possibilities that we have for bringing Hive out into the so called Real World. Join us as we talk to @fokusnow about his experiences creating an exclusively HBD store and how he has been generating HBD sales and onboarding new acounts.

We’ll be diving into:

• The story of his Happy Customer Supermarket
• How @spendhbd and @distriator are opening doors to everyday Nigerians.
• Onboarding Do’s and Dont’s
• metrics up to now
• overcoming stereotypes and assumptions
• What’s next

Hive Thrive isn’t just another talk show—it’s modeled after a town hall for the Hive community. Whether you’re a dev, a content creator, a witness, or just someone who wants to learn and be more engaged, this is your space.
We field questions from the chat during the interview, but the after show it opens up and we keep the convo going!
So mark your calendars, join the discussion, and let’s build the Hive we want to see!

🚀 See you Tuesday, April 22nd @ 6 PM UTC!

Sneak Peak at Next Week
Shhhh 🤫 TELL EVERYONE… week #9 —— The State of Music on Hive W/guests: @ravenmus1c and @steevc

What is the Hive Thrive?

A HIVE discord show that will have a town hall feel to it.
We see a real gap between devs, projects, witnesses, community leaders, and everyday Hive users. There are so many people looking to feel more connected, engaged, and informed—and we want to bridge that gap. This show is about:

✅ Learning about the Hive Blockchain
✅ Sharing what what’s available to use or being worked on
✅ Exploring where Hive is headed (or could be)
✅ Identifying roadblocks—and, more importantly, finding solutions
✅ Fostering constructive and proactive discussions
✅ Providing another space for the community to engage

Here at Hive Thrive we would like to give a shout out to @ecoinstant, his enthusiasm has been the best kind of infectious. He is also a witness here on hive. You can support him here….

Since our first Hive Thrive show, which was a real cannonball splash! We have had on many interesting guests spanning to all of Hives corners. We have gotten into the nitty gritty of the DHF, we have discussed the future of hive, projects supporting internally and externally, and how everyday hiveians can get involved and learn more about the Hive ecosystem. All our shows are loaded with alpha info for any Hive enthusiast or noob looking to learn more!
