Talking NFTs, Twelve and a Half and FEAR...

Gary Vaynerchuk
About this episode

Today’s episode is a dope car convo I had with YouTuber and Storyteller Samir from Colin and Samir. We discussed my journey into NFTs, how I got the original idea for VeeFriends, how I approach building community, how the launch of Twelve and a Half has intertwined with the success of VeeFriends and why leading a business with fear mongering tactics is the absolute worst thing you can do.

Enjoy! Let me know what you thought.
