I’ve got another special episode of Next with Novo coming in hot, where I’ll be answering some of the most asked questions on one of my favorite topics—non-fungible tokens. Better known as NFTs, these unique tokens are built on the blockchain leveraging the genius of Satoshi to authenticate art, music, IP, and more. Most recently, artists, musicians, and entrepreneurs such as Beeple, GaryVee, and my friend Sarah Meyohas have been playing in the space to monetize their work and create truly unique experiences. The best part? We’re still very much in the first out of the first inning of the World Series of NFTs. No one knows how the future will play out, so as more money continues to pour into the system and infrastructure, all eyes will be on the crypto community...so do your homework, be careful and listen to this latest episode of Next with Novo.

Next with Novo is back with another NFL star of Kansas City Chiefs fame, Josh Martin. An activist and linebacker with a unique story and mission, Josh grew up in Houston to working-class parents who instilled in him the value of persistence and hard work. Josh is an interesting case of an NFL player who came from an Ivy League school, Columbia University in New York City, and made it into the league as an undrafted free agent. During our conversation, Josh and I talk about his early days in the NFL, how he encountered and fought against racism in pro sports during the peak of the kneeling players’ protests, as well as his journey into content with the creation of Making America, a conversation series-meets-vlog where Josh makes stops around the country to talk to people about issues ranging from education to social justice and sports.

Next with Novo is back with visual artist and early NFT pioneer Sarah Meyohas. Sarah joined me at the Galaxy Digital HQ for a chat on her journey from an NYC art scene upstart to an academic to a key figure in the evolution of experiential crypto art and the growing NFT scene, which birthed two projects: Cloud of Petals and her own altcoin, Bitchcoin.

In this episode, you'll learn how Sarah merged her passion for experiential visual art and the growing crypto space to build a name for herself. She'll explain how her Bitchcoin project takes users and buyers into the visual side of the mining process (a rarity) and how she believes creating NFTs on the blockchain can help build more trust and accountability in the art world, which often relies on the illusion of scarcity. Sarah and I also talk about the rapid evolution of NFTs and what wearable and experiential art might look like soon.

Former UFC champion and former Bellator champion Eddie Alvarez is my latest guest on Next with Novo. Growing up in tough inner-city Philadelphia, Eddie started fighting, both in and out of the ring, at a young age. He started wrestling in local PAL leagues and high school competitions, making his way to the national championships against prestigious prep schools and against the odds of his difficult upbringing. Left with the responsibilities of looking out for his siblings and eventually starting a family of his own at only 20 years old, Eddie found work in concrete before starting to box at local fights for much-needed money. He eventually progressed to MMA, fighting in the Bellator league before finding success in UFC, where he'd become a world champion at 30. Eddie jumped on Zoom with me to talk about his inspiring journey from street fighter to UFC champion, as well as his early participation in Beat the Streets, the community-based wrestling nonprofit I'm proud to have launched in NYC. You'll also hear about the current state of Eddie's fighting career and how he started taking a deep interest in the stock market, real estate, and, eventually, bitcoin.

We’ve got a special edition of Next with Novo with one of the greats of our time (and the NFL), Baltimore Ravens defensive linebacker & University of Miami Hurricanes icon, plus Florida state champ wrestler Ray Lewis. Ray is simply one of the most motivating and inspirational speakers and humans I have ever met, as well as a guy with a big heart. During our chat, Ray takes us through his tough upbringing in Florida, the absence of his father, and how he discovered his natural talent for wrestling before ending up in football. Ray caught a lucky break early in his football career and got the last available scholarship at University of Miami, where he'd become one of the most iconic players in the school’s history. After his legendary career with the Baltimore Ravens, where he won two Super Bowls, Ray retired from the NFL, but as he put it in the podcast, "not from life." Since leaving the game, Ray has found success in business, motivational speaking, and done some amazing philanthropy with the Ray Lewis 52 foundation. He also recently started a philanthropic, solar-focused organization, Power 52, where he's creating opportunities for at-risk youth. We talked about Ray's work in criminal justice, how to inspire leadership and navigate life’s detours & challenges, finding purpose after the pain and loss of COVID, and what he's learned during his incredible journey through life and sports.

COVID put a wrench in the college admissions process that forced students, educators, parents, and the like, to reimagine their future. My latest guest on Next with Novo, Global Citizen Year’s Abby Falik, is one of the country’s top experts on kids transitioning from high school to college or taking a year off before. Abby’s organization rethinks the concept of a gap year with a program that takes seniors and prepares them for what’s to come through a unique recruitment process and a variety of programs that help shape their trajectories by focusing on leadership and values. My conversation with Abby outlines the difficult transformation of the college admission process due to COVID, the inequalities and pressures that have built up over time, and what Global Citizen Year is doing to build a new path for students. Abby also shares a ton of insight and advice for students on how to capitalize on this time in the best way possible. As a father whose own kids have gone through this process, this episode was particularly relevant to many of my own experiences. Hope you enjoy.

At only 32 years old, former Tennessee Titans linebacker Derrick Morgan has already accomplished a lot. Derrick played for nine years in the NFL after playing college ball at Georgia Tech. During his rookie year, an injury pushed Derrick to start thinking long-term about life after football, having more control and understanding over his finances. He started doing some soul searching. After retiring from the NFL in 2019, Derrick turned his focus to real estate and ethical investing. He launched the KNGDM Impact Fund, a 200-million dollar opportunity zone fund that focuses on bringing wealth and economic mobility to marginalized, lower-income communities in hopes of closing our nation's wealth gap. He's also become a vocal advocate for medical cannabis and the benefits it can offer former pro athletes who are struggling with pain management after years of injuries. Derrick joined me on Next with Novo to talk about his charity work, his experiences with racism and inequality in America, and his new podcast coming soon to Clubhouse.

I loved the conversation I had in my latest episode of Next with Novo so much I wanted to try something new. Today, I’m releasing the uncut version of my interview with Swiss contemporary visual artist Urs Fischer on his upcoming NFT drop, digital art, and the future of how we interact as humans—both in real life and in the metaverse. For those that don’t know, Urs, whose work has appeared at New York's iconic Gagosian gallery, is not only an icon in the traditional art world but someone who's married physical and digital art for over a decade. Urs has found acclaim in different mediums throughout his career in digital and physical spaces—from giant clay sculptures and packs of cigarettes to immersive video installations. Whether it lives in a digital or physical space, Urs creates work that will stand the test of time across movements and generations.
