July 19, 2022 E32 - What Is Co-Labs With Tomas Pansini & Adam Vallejo
The future is here and it’s web3. However, people need more direction and as I discuss with my guests today some people entering the space interested to create don’t even know what to google or what questions to ask which is truly a sign that while web3 is here it’s extremely new.
On this episode, I chat with Tomas Pansini and Adam Vallejo two of the cofounders of Co-Labs which is a full stack web3 development studio out of the New York / New Jersey area. Web3 creators need guidance and Co-Labs’ one stop shop to help take any web3 project from an idea to execution is gaining real traction and is likely to continue to bear fruits. While founded less than a year, Co-Labs is finding success offering their clients the priceless service of direction in the mapless world of web3.
As an episode note, the Ethereum renting capability is ERC-4907.

July 12, 2022 E31 - QuickPod | Will This Signal Bitcoin's Bottom?
In 2017, I remember being up in crypto, then by the end of the first quarter of 2018 I was down. In 9 months I had seen my initial investment peak around 15x and then tumble back down to below my initial investment entry prices and that's crypto - it's brutal! The highs are higher than you can fathom and can make even Everest look small and the lows are the Mariana trench and then some.
On this episode, I want to quickly share with you my thoughts on when bitcoin's bottom or lowest price will be in.
This is not investment advice.

July 05, 2022 E30 - A Phygital Future With Victor Rivera
The word "phygital" is the blending of the words physical and digital and refers to a product, service or experience that's a blend between both the physical and digital.
For this episode’s guest, Victor Rivera, phygital is the best way to describe the way in which he’s blending the physical with the virtual world.
Victor is a veteran collector of African art and one visit to his Opensea page (https://opensea.io/collection/africanartnft) will show you how when you buy one of his African art pieces, you’ll also receive an image and an AR or augmented reality 3D file of the purchased art piece that you can then interact with in any physical space.
This approach to selling a physical product tied to a- blockchain backed digital asset is likely the future of commerce and experiences as AR starts to play a bigger role in our daily lives.
On this episode, Victor and I discuss his journey into crypto, his African art phygital project, his experience at NFT NYC, what the NFT space could use to improve, his work with the artist collective and where Puerto Rico is with blockchain adoption.

June 28, 2022 E29 - QuickPod | What I Plan To Build During This Frosty Crypto Winter
With the crypto winter here, it's time to build. In the last episode, I outlined how I'm planning to navigate the crypto winter from a financial standpoint - even though it wasn't financial advice.
On this episode, I candidly share what I'm going to build with More Than Blockchain and how I’d like to transform the brand into a media agency with a variety of content from podcasts, videos, blogs, and educational courses and even offer consulting services. I'm also working on how to create content and offer consulting services in Spanish as well.
If you're interested to support More Than Blockchain with curated, original content - please reach out! Also at 3:17 I meant to say “bull” not “bear” market.

June 21, 2022 E28 - QuickPod | How To Navigate The Crypto Winter In 5 Minutes
Discords have gone quiet.
Twitter has become less optimistic and full of apocalyptic memes.
Bitcoin’s price has dropped below the 2017 previous ATH of $20k.
And, NFT floor prices are dropping even as Ethereum’s price drops with the rest of the crypto market.
That’s right the bear market is here or crypto winter, a phrase used to speak more specifically about the cryptocurrency market.
On this episode, I outline the 3 ways I’m planning to navigate it.

June 14, 2022 E27 - Web3, Crypto & More With Shirin From Crypto Witch Club
Crypto and NFTs are new, so there’s a lot of demand for informative and easily digestible educational content.
The need for educational content around crypto is so great that rapper Jay Z and ex Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey just created the bitcoin academy to support Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn community members in their understanding of Bitcoin.
This demand for digestible content aligns perfectly with my guest today who has spent her professional career in brand building and marketing endeavors for clients both big and small with her PR and creative digital media agency located out of New York City.
Shirin is one half of the Crypto Witch Club which, as their website proudly boasts, "is an inclusive, equitable space for all to learn about blockchain tech.
On this episode, Shirin and I talk about crypto, Bitcoin, the Luna collapse, NFTs, the behind the scenes look at how Crypto Witch Club was formed, a look ahead at how she hopes to position Crypto Witch Club and also spills the tea on a potential NFT collection.
Crypto and web3 is a world ripe for exploration and the crypto witches are building a brand ready to tackle the bear market and beyond.

June 07, 2022 E26 - Joshua Somma On Crypto Day Trading With VEMA Trader
When I think about a day trader, I often picture the character of Bud Fox who was played by Charlie Sheen in the 1987 movie Wall Street.
If you haven’t seen the movie that’s okay because the imagery portrayed throughout the film is likely what you think of when you imagine a day trader — fresh suits, expensive shoes, big mansions in the Hampton’s, fancy apartments in mid town Manhattan. But, this opulent 80s, 90s and even early 2000 imagery of a day trader has evolved greatly.
And, in the world of crypto - day trading continues to be a worthwhile pursuit sought after by many and the stocks from the traditional finance system are now Bitcoin, Ethereum and thousands of other cryptocurrencies.
This episode's guest is Josh Somma and Josh works as Product Manager for VEMA Trader - a new day trading support platform that’s transforming the way day trader’s approach the market and engage with their trades to ideally increase their profits while reducing the amount of daily time and energy they spend on the platform.
On this episode, Josh and I dive into how he got into crypto, his thoughts on NFTs and DAOs, where he thinks the space still needs to improve and how VEMA Trader is positioning itself to be a premier crypto day trader must have product.
Day trading is nothing new but day trading In cryptocurrencies or crypto, an asset class that never sleeps or takes weekends off, really needs a product to support the new crypto focused generation of Day traders and VEMA Trader looks like it’s primed for global adoption.

May 31, 2022 E25 - QuickPod | Why VeeFriends Is Going To The Moon
In episode 23, I laid out 3 reasons why I feel that 99% of current NFT projects will flop by 2024.
To build upon that episode, and focus on the 1% of NFTs that won’t flop, I’d like to lay out 3 reasons why I think GaryVee’s VeeFriends NFT will not only be in the 1% of NFT projects that will survive but will thrive and be a successful case study for other NFTs to emulate moving forward.

Please excuse the echo in this episode, I was on the road/out of Brooklyn and had a lively room as a studio.

May 24, 2022 E24 - Brent Craige On How To Build Businesses In Web3
On this podcast, I often talk with guests about the waves they’re making in web3 and yet, it always feels a little off as 99% of my day is spent on web2 even if I am talking about web3.
LinkedIn and Twitter, while major hubs for web3 chatter and community, are very much web2, so it was refreshing to have a guest speak to this dichotomy and share the idea that not everything needs to be web3. And that we, as he is currently doing, will likely continue to mix the best elements of web2 with web3 to make the gradual slide into web3 more of an evolution rather than a revolution. This will also allow the tech to catch up with our lofty web3 dreams - you know where everything is on chain.
This episode’s guest is Brent Craige and we sat down in his hometown of New Orleans to discuss how he’s putting the big easy on the web3 and crypto map with his projects — NFTeacher and Jammaround.
NFTeacher currently is leveraging and Jammaround will leverage blockchain to shift paradigms and build a future that, like with all web3, will allow more people to create on their own terms while actively building community.
To reach Brent, find him on Instagram @dr.clipz or via his linktree.
