Rizzle sits down with EZ to talk about his background and how he became such a prominent figure in #NFTland.  EZ is pervasive in this space, whether it is through his community endeavors, artwork, podcasts, or all-around presence at every prominent event humanly possible to attend.  This was a fascinating glimpse into the current life of EZ including thoughts on where he wants to take all this momentum.

Rizzle, Matthew, and Trislit recap the pros and cons of last week's incredibly fun and unique WIP experience at the MarbleCards parcel.  Not only has the WIP squad expanded significantly over the course of the past few weeks, they have also progressed in many ways including new builds, capabilities, and the first fully sponsored WIP at AlottaMoney's Voxel Hotel.  As the WIP events continue to grow cross-platform more people have reached out to participate in their own way, especially now that there are a significant amount of eyeballs on this evolving phenomenon.

Rizzle, Matthew, and Trislit recount the success of InfiNFT launch and the controversy that ensued.  As our events continue to grow and we have more people reaching out to us for custom events, we realize that we have some very basic branding issues. We kick around a lot of ideas for paths forward, and a $whale offer is extended to any audience members who are able to contribute their skills or ideas to our projects.

Rizzle and WhaleShark sit down to talk about a little bit of everything.  

Alt title: Turning Garbage into Gold.  Matthew, Trislit and Rizzle rehash the near catastrophe of this week's WIP event leading into N0Shot's shoe launch.  What started with CryptoVoxels crashing and our entire setup being inaccessible turned into an amazing pivot by the WIP Squad into one of our most memorable events yet, and helped deliver a massive shoe launch for N0Shot.  As our team continues to receive an outpouring of support from the community, we set our sights on adding a wider variety of experiences attached to the WIP.  Early guest appearance from Trislit's discord notifications.

What started off as Rizzle attempting to get these community leaders on the same podcast to provoke a fight for soundbites, quickly turned into one of the most fascinating and relevant conversations to have happened recently in the cryptoart scene and NFTland.  Everything is put on the table while we discuss multiple definitions of Trashart, The Journey of Artists, Copyright, Censorship, Decentralization, Jim's rants, What artists do/do not care about, and solving problems that artists have had for centuries with better NFTs and Smart Contracts.

An attempt to recap this week's WIP event leading into the Virtual Rare Arts Festival led to a much deeper conversation about the need for human contact and feeling connected to other people at our events.  With another extremely successful WIP meetup under our belts, we are gaining confidence to take on larger ideas.  Cross-platform WIP events? Podcast viewing/listening parties?  We got the basics down so now we keep pushing ✊

Matthew, Trislit, and Rizzle recap the resounding success of the Ethereal Summit Fire Side Chat and the 'almost kinda sorta' resounding success of this week's WIP meetup.  We joke about audio PTSD, putting Dragonate in a box, and take a serious look forward to the Rare Art's Festival that we're stoked to kick off at next week's WIP meetup.

In this episode @Trislit, @Matthew and @Rizzle recap this week's WIP meetup.  Now that we broke triple digits in attendance we are setting our sights forward to our collaboration with the Ethereal Summit next week.  We talk a lot about "Eventness," and shifting the focus from perfectly recreating real-world events to embracing the unique culture that sets our community apart.

@Rizzle and @Matthew talk about the epic community flex that occurred at this week's WIP meeting.  Our "scaled back" event still drew a gigantic crowd, but through everyone coming together we were finally able to stick the landing in CryptoVoxels and pull off an almost flawless event.  We recap the great presentations given by @n0shot @sinkas and @nissla, as well as the endless possibilities moving forward.  Too many thank yous to @dragonate, but also not enough.  We wrap up with some behind the scenes conversations about the huge launch of Cent 2.0 and Avastars.
