The Will Glass Show

97: The Illuminati NFT project sold out 13 seconds after the public launch. This episode is a deep dive into what led to a successful NFT project sellout and how you can apply the same principles to your own NFT project. The inspiration for this episode came from a viral Twitter thread recap of the Illuminati (@Truth) that I posted after the launch. As web3 and NFTs begin to proliferate through our society there will likely be more episodes like this one to keep you informed.

About Antonia Gavrihel:

Born to an entertainment family — her father a comedian and actor, her mother a big band singer — Antonia was placed in front of a camera at an early age. She loved acting yet dreamed of being a writer. Words, along with the visuals and stories they form, became her passion.

Back to One was created when she was raising a young son, building a career, and managing the everyday hurdles of life. After settling her son to sleep after work, she would write into the late hours of the night--- for an entire year. Then began the twenty-five-year search for a publishing house to bring the novel to readers everywhere. The first summer of Covid-19 provided that serendipitous event.

Away from writing and occasionally acting, she is a law professor and an enrolled agent/master tax advisor.

Her second novel in the Back to One series continuing Cate and Kyle’s adventures will be released next October 2022.
