There's obviously a lot going on in the Steemiverse right now, which only makes it all the more humbling that people took the time (and stake) to vote on OpenSeed's Steem Proposal and help get us funded! This proposal was always about validating our products and giving back to the Steem community, so despite all of the issues going on at the moment, we still are extremely excited about this development. 

<h1>Take Our SBD!</h1>

That's also why we've always been  committed to giving all the funds we receive back to the community. We've always said that whatever funds we received from the SPS would be used to reward community members for contributing to either OpenSeed or OpenLink. Well, that time has come! So if you are interested in helping on either of these projects, [Join Our Discord Server](https://discord.gg/87HjXNX), [Join Our Steem Community!](https://beta.steemit.com/trending/hive-152786), and let being working with us to [build a more socially aware internet!](https://steemit.com/openseed/@openseed/building-a-socially-aware-internet).

<h1>Finding Meaningful Work</h1>

Despite the difficult time we find ourselves in, I find myself more energized than ever, which is why I wanted to start experimenting with a new "Walk-and-Talk" video series. In today's video I explore the topic of "meaningful work" which came up recently at a [Software Over Coffee meetup](https://www.meetup.com/Software-Over-Coffee/events/268864864/) I've been attending lately in Philadelphia. It's a great group of genuine people trying to build a supportive community of software workers. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend dropping in. The group meets every Saturday at 10:00 AM.

I believe that the most important objective for the individual when it comes to their work, is that they maximize the amount of time they spend doing meaningful work. I actually believe this is more important than what title you have, how much money you make, how much vacation time you get, etc. But this begs the question: how do you make that happen? I explore this topic in the video below.

While the challenges we currently face are difficult, they also serve as an unlimited source of meaningful work. So with that, let's get to it! Thanks again for the support, and don't forget to [vote for Witnesses you trust!](https://steemit.com/~witnesses) Every little bit helps!
