What's up, everyone? This is Alex Lieberman, co-founder and executive chairman of Morning Brew.

Welcome back to Founders Journal, my personal audio diary, where I give you the business builder,

the tools you need to think better in order to build better, whether that's building a business,

a team, or a new product. So this episode is a little bit different than recent episodes that are

very focused on mental models or career tactics, but I think it's going to work. And why I say

that is to be a successful careerist, you need to keep your finger on the pulse of technologies

that are changing the world. Now, you probably have heard of crypto, maybe you've heard of web 3.0,

new technology and what it could mean for the future for all of us. So I hope you enjoy. This is

all about Constitution Dow. Let's hop into it. So let me start from the beginning. Last Saturday,

I'm DMing on Twitter with Packing McCormick, who writes an incredible newsletter called Not Boring.

He also has a fund now that he invests. And he had tweeted about this Constitution Dow thing.

And I can't remember the exact tweet, but it caught my eye because he said something along the lines

of a group of people are looking to buy the Constitution. I DMed him saying, is this legit?

Is a group of people actually buying the Constitution? And he said yes. And before talking through

what the last few days have been like, what being a part of this project and community has been like,

let me just explain what Constitution Dow is and why this group or this collective formed.

It starts back in 1787. September of 1787, the Constitution of the United States is signed by

38 of 41 delegates in Philadelphia. It begins with we the people and this founding document established

a structure of government that existed to serve its people. That's the Constitution in case you

haven't heard of it. Now let's fast forward. Today, 11, some people say 13 of the original 500

copies of the Constitution remain. And just two of those 11 copies are owned by private owners.
