Episode 47: Show Notes.

From working at a pizzeria to becoming a full-time photographer, and everything in between, Guido has done and seen it all! We are thrilled to have him on the show with us today. Guido gave up his 30+ year career as a hair stylist to pursue his lifelong passion: photography. We begin our conversation by finding out about his hardware wallet status and what his initial thoughts on NFTs were. Then, Guido tells us how trying to sell his card collection led to his discovery of NFTs, how he got into art and why he specifically chose photography, and what other jobs he’s had aside from this and being a hairstylist. After telling us what his favorite food is and what animal he would be, our guest breaks down the details of the best advice he’s ever received. You’ll learn more about the fast-paced nature of the NFT space, why it’s important to network and build relationships, and what our guest’s ideal home destination would be. We wrap up with Guido playing host as he asks Guy how he got into NFTs, the particular type of art that he collects, and which area of the NFT space lacks innovation the most: they both agree that it is the platforms. If you have interacted with Guido before, he may give you a shout-out! Tune in to find out.
