Starting Now with Jeff Sarris

Parin Heidari is an Iranian artist and entrepreneur who's fulfilled her lifelong dream of becoming a full-time artist thanks to NFTs.

In this episode we dive into Parin's origin story and her path from engineering to graphic design to CEO to artist. We learn how a simple mention of NFTs sent her down the rabbit hole, caused her to spend sleepless nights on Clubhouse, and how that fortuitous moment completely changed her life.

Parin also shares her tips for promoting your work without feeling like a salesperson, how she manages her time when there can be endless FOMO, and how creating more, selling more, and supporting others creates a cycle of success.

Before NFTs, Jack was unknown as an artist. But in just 2 months he's built a community of fans who have an insatiable need for his SkullKids. As a result over 60 ETH has been traded in just 2 months (around $120,000).

Early on Jack learned that opportunity is out there if you "knock until your knuckles are white. The worst thing they can tell you is no."

He will say that he's always had a little luck in his pocket, but the truth is that he's made his own. By his own account, the secret recipe to his success is giving a shit.

Whether you're an artist looking for collectors or a budding entrepreneur seeking opportunity, this conversation is a masterclass in achieving your goals.

This week on the podcast I chat with the endlessly fascinating Jeff Meyerson. Jeff is the author of Move Fast, he's written 7 albums (The Prion on Spotify), he was a professional Magic: The Gathering player, a professional poker player, a software engineer at Amazon, he's currently a prolific podcaster, and the founder of countless projects, including Supercompute and Rectangle.

This conversation really stretched my mind and introduced some concepts, such as the wooden computer, that I had never encountered before. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

The NFT space has exploded as of late. This is the first of many episodes where I’ll be exploring NFTs and talking to artists and creators who are doing something special in the space. We're at day one, so there is so much opportunity. If you're an entrepreneur or a budding one, I highly recommend that you dive in, join some communities, and get a feel for exactly what's happening.

Today my guests are Abby Mansfield and Paul Price of Top Dog Beach Club. In this episode we explain what NFTs are, why we’re at day one of the space and we dive into Abby and Paul’s stories to learn about their journey to starting the Top Dog Beach Club.

In just a couple hours after this chat the project sold out, but you can still join the community on the aftermarket. Be sure to check it out topdogbeachclub.com before it's too late!
