Hidden Gems: Meet Sly Roque of Popmantra

Today we’d like to introduce you to Sly Roque.

Hi Sly, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Its been an interesting adventure for my team as a whole. Originally our background is branding in the music & entertainment industry but for whatever reason, people began to ask me about music and tech. They were asking me how I saw the music business’s future in web 3. They begin to ask me so much that people started to think that I was dealing in tech so that’s what made us look into it. We begin to think about how we could be part of bringing in the current generation into a new era of technology, Thus the idea of Popmantra was born.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has not been easy. It has definitely been an interesting road as we’ve transitioned more into the tech industry. There was originally a slight learning curve but it’s been such an amazing learning journey to be into it this deep.

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Popmantra?
Popmantra is an informative & inclusive Web3 community that aims to bring the current generation into a new era of technology with ease. It provides guidance on understanding NFTs & all things Web 3 through tutorials, events, NFT projects and other resources. We’re doing this for the people who want into the NFT community. We highly welcome people who are curious about the web3 space and newbies to the space. We are currently known for our event, NFTs & Tequila, which we’ve done in Austin twice and it has been very successful! Our plan is to take that on tour to Houston, Miami & Atlanta this summer as well. We also plan to do a fall tour of a one-day conference called PopmantraEXP that will really teach people about the web 3 space. We call it “the conference that actually teaches you about web 3”. We will kick it off in Austin and go on to seven more cities. We’re excited about being the community that people trust to help them learn about the space. As long as the community continues to trust us we won’t let them down!

Who else deserves credit in your story?
From me, God will always get the glory in everything that I’m doing. He has opened so many doors and put me in more amazing positions then I can imagine. I definitely thank Him for putting our AMAZING team together. The founding team that we have that surrounds this is the reason why Popmantra is up and running. Shoutouts to Jarred Buggs, our chief branding officer and definite thanks to Jawan Jackson, our creative director. They have done an awesome job. They have been here from the beginning and this team would be nothing without them. Thanks for being on this journey of Popmantra. Of course, we are thankful for every team members and even advisor who has been rooting for us to win. Our community for trusting us. Thank you!
