We had the pleasure of chatting with Alaskan-based artist and Creative Director of SHILLR, Connor Grasso. In this episode, we dive right into discussing his personal experiences growing up in Alaska and his profound insights into the effects of extreme environment on mental health. As we navigate through his photographic journeys to capture the mystical Aurora and his unique perspective on life shaped by the stillness of winter, Connor's experiences paint a vivid canvas of introspection and self-discovery.

Hear how Connor's artistic journey led him to the world of Web 3 and NFTs. We chat about the thrill and challenges of his first NFT sale and how this altered his trajectory as an artist, and how the nuance of this space, was easier to navigate than a traditional career mainly doing commercial work.

As we wrap up this engaging episode, we reflect upon the unfolding renaissance and the future of knowledge transmission. Drawing parallels between disruptive cultural moments and the current blockchain revolution, we ponder on how this renaissance is altering human experiences both today, and how events of this time will be observed  and interpreted in the years to come.
