In Ep. 56, we welcome Nour Chamoun, Co-Founder of Scopio, an NFT and photography marketplace that’s bridging the gap from web2 to web3. Scopio aims to break down the barriers that prevent equitable access to the creator economy, and to become the most diverse creator community on earth. We discuss how NFTs can help create a more accessible and equitable creator economy, and the role NFTs can play in helping photographers tell their story.
