DAOs, in their proper form, are permissionless, and you could be working with people from various backgrounds from all over the world. Many times united by a common cause and with a strong sense of community. Each individual DAO may be a part of the broader crypto narrative and have their individual 'personalities'.

DAO represents a new way to see the world of interaction, whether banking, security, healthcare, or any other industry. This means understanding the culture of DAO is crucial. At the same time, keeping an open mind to ideas, perspectives, and challenges is a must have characteristic. Understanding and open-mindedness enable better communication, messaging, and content for target audience consumption.
