On August 29, 2025, I had the privilege of sharing a conversation with Boiler during our second Chones Party!
Boiler is a DAO contributor at Public Nouns, Farcastle, and Grant Ships, to name a few, and you can follow him on Farcaster as @Boiler.
He shared about family life, working at a nuclear power plant, DAOs, music and his chosen family.
Here are some highlights!
02:14 A day in the life of Boiler
04:04 Photographs and expensive equipment, but beautiful images
05:48 Post Yer Ale coffee table book
07:32 Working at a nuclear power plant
I monitor radiation levels as [people] working to make sure they go home safely at the end of the day; that’s what I do. Boiler
12:19 Deep Dives as a Secret Weapon
I need to get into the details of everything to figure things out; I’m not satisfied with just doing the thing. Boiler
14:14 Relationship to music, especially live music
16:12 Best music concerts!
Sometimes I get to go, sometimes my wife gets to go, and sometimes we both get to go. Tomorrow, my wife gets to go, and I’m going to watch the kids. Boiler
You have a hundred friends around you, and we’re watching music together and making music together. Boiler
18:46 When does Boiler jam?
19:57 Boiler’s journey and perspective on DAOs
[DAOs] are a good way to help people coordinate together and get shit done. Boiler
Come up with ways to even the playing field, so us regular people, who are just struggling through life, try to make something. Boiler
You don’t always have to be working on your own to try and compete against the big players; we can band together and be on an equal level. Boiler
25:46 Anticipating Boiler’s best camping trips
We all met up at the same time, and the same place, and camp together. Boiler
28:04 Jamland and Boiler’s son
It’s not so much what I do, but my son makes a pretty big starring role. Boiler
33:04 Inspiration from Street Photography, Grateful Dead and chosen family
It’s a very accepting community for people to take risks, artistically, and try things. Boiler
I’m super inspired by those people, who are my people. Boiler
I’m going to throw some more wood on the fire, crack a beer, and get [my family] back [outside]. Boiler
