This week’s episode of Next with Novo features Desmond Meade, a voting rights activist and Executive Director of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition.

Desmond begins by walking us through his story, which started with a cycle of addiction, homelessness, and jail time. After hitting rock bottom, Desmond was able to turn things around and eventually graduated from law school with a concentration in criminal justice.

Desmond then introduces us to the Florida Restoration Act, where he directed the mission to restore voting rights to those with felony convictions in Florida. We discuss the push and pull between getting people to take action, fighting the notion that people need to lose something for others to gain. Finally, Demond highlights his ultimate goal to strengthen society, starting with those who have been affected by the criminal justice system. This conversation offers an inspiring glimpse into how social change looks on the ground, and the work being done to advocate for those who have been perpetually sidelined.

Desmond was named Time 100 most influential people in the world in 2019, and in 2021 he was awarded a MacArthur Genius Grant.

This week’s episode of Next with Novo features Mark Cuban, an American entrepreneur, TV personality, philanthropist, and investor.

Mark’s curiosity and knack for business lead him towards plenty of exciting ventures, from starring on Shark Tank to owning the Dallas Mavericks. Taking us back to the beginning, Mark shares how he stumbled into the idea of local area networking back in the 80s, all the way up to selling broadcast.com to Yahoo! Inc. in 1999. According to Mark, today’s crypto community closely resembles the “gold rush” felt in 1999. Now, he predicts it’s all going to boil down to applications, implications, and integrations. A day of reckoning will come, and we both agree that utility will win in the long run.

As a philanthropist, Mark also reflected on the play-to-earn model that crypto follows and the potential to create a similar ecosystem within philanthropy. Coming from someone who's always been in the middle of the creator economy, this episode is a great look at the past, present, and future of innovation.

This conversation took place on Fireside, Mark's new interactive audio platform.

This week I’m welcoming Anatoly Yakovenko to Next with Novo. Toly is the founder and CEO of Solana, an open-source, decentralized blockchain.

Initially released in 2019, Solana has grown to become the world’s first web-scale blockchain. Taking me back to the beginning, Toly explains his core innovation: Proof of History, which moves everything forward in both speed and capacity. Nowadays, there’s a large tradeoff between speed and security. Toly explains where Solana fits into this problem, and the promising opportunities to make hardware even faster. With rivalries growing, Toly hopes that blockchains remain diverse, maintaining a healthy level of competition and accelerating progress.

This week on Next with Novo I welcome in Emily Cheng, also known as Pplpleasr. Emily is a multidisciplinary artist whose original animations have blossomed into some of the most viral NFTs to date. Emily recently wrote an op-ed titled “How crypto changed my life,” and recaps her growth throughout the pandemic, from unemployment to creating her first animated short. Making progress with NFTs, Emily was able to grow her own audience, shifting power away from a few wealthy investors and into a collective unit. Her success led to the creation of PleasrDAO, a collective of DeFi leaders, NFT collectors, and digital artists who’ve acquired significant cultural pieces. The NFT community has completely altered Emily’s path, and this episode is an inspiring glimpse into the creative, collective change that can exist within the crypto community.

On this episode of Next with Novo, I sit down with Tom Sachs, native New Yorker, artist, & NFT newbie. For those not familiar, Tom is on a mission to revolutionize the art industry by creating his version of “outer space” and challenging our perception of reality. His “Space Program” exhibition first reimagined the moon landing at the Gagosian Gallery in LA, then took on colonization of Mars at the Park Avenue Armory in NYC. Tom also has an ongoing partnership with Nike, where he designed high-performing, space-themed equipment. In this episode, Tom tells us all about his next project – his first entry into the NFT space – called Rocket Factory, which will consist of 3,000 unique, digital rocket components that can be combined to form 1,000 completed rockets. If desired, those with completed rockets can choose to have a physical rocket created and actually launched towards the atmosphere. As an out-of-the-box thinker, Tom explains how he’s taking his creative expertise into NFTs, as well as growing & developing the NFT space in the process. This is definitely an episode you won’t want to miss – be sure to tune in to learn more.
