In episode #047 we chat with VeeFam day one OGs & power couple, Alissa & Ron Jordan. Alissa is an attorney (not yours), speaker, and ambassador for ethics while Ron is a web3 creator, podcaster, collector, and host of the VeeFriends Cards podcast, “Ron’s Roundtable.” . Ron and Alissa share their stories about finding web3 and the VeeFriends ecosystem, their stories of the community in the early days prior to mint, and how it has evolved throughout its short history. It was a pleasure talking with this dynamic duo.

In episode #046, we chat with the artist, storyteller, and comic artist for VeeFriends, D.J. Coffman. After being drawn to creating cartoons and comics at a young age, D.J. has been living his passion for over 25 years. In January 2024, he started working for  @veefriends  as a comic creator where he creates daily comics for the IP. Throughout our conversation, D.J. and I talk about how much of an important outlet drawing was for him growing up, how he got the job working for VeeFriends, and what it is like helping mold the characters within the universe of VeeFriends at such an early stage, and much more.

In episode #044, we chat with the Executive Vice President of the Gary Vaynerchuk brand, Head of Team GaryVee, and VeeFriend, Sid Astir. Throughout our conversation, Sid and I talk about how he serendipitously got his start at Vayner Media as intern and then worked his way up to running Garys brand. We also chat about the origin of VeeFriends from behind the scenes, his perspective of VeeCon and the community, and the unprecedented 12.5 Book Sale & Book Games execution. I sincerely enjoyed chatting with Sid and I hope you enjoy our conversation.

In episode #042, we chat with VeeFriend, content creator, community detective, Dalton Tice. In our chat, Dalton and I talk about his origins into finding Gary Vee and the VeeFriends, his thoughts about bringing kindness to the world, and how the VeeFriends community fits the bill to do the same.

In episode #041 we chat with Author, Community Leader, Web3 Ambassador, and VeeFriends OG, Steve "NFTbark" Kaczynski. After leaving his corporate job and going "all in" on Web3, Steve landed a position co-hosting "Coffee with Captain," an awarding-winning daily Twitter Space and a position serving as the community lead for the Starbucks Odyssey program. Most recently, Steve co-authored a book, "The Everything Token," which demystifies NFTs and illustrates how they will transform our world. Steve and I chat about how he found Gary Vee, why the VeeFriends community is different, and what his experience was like speaking on the VeeCon community stage.

In episode #039, we chat with VeeFriends OG, and Co-Founder of "To The Moon Cards," Jason "IJayRob" Roberts. After its release in 2022, Jay was the first person to collect a full set of 235 Series 1 VeeFriends Zerocool cards.

For episode #038, I chat with JJ "Saugy" Saugstad, also known as "Saugy." After following Gary for years and feeling the positive impact of the flip life, Saugy stumbled into a Fanatics Live stream in October 2023. Not knowing a thing about VeeFriends, Saugy bought his first Series 2 box on Ebay on positive energy, intuition, and conviction in Gary. Roughly a month later, Saugy purchased a Series 1 box and pulled a 1/1 Bubble Gum Very, Very, Very, Very Lucky Black Cat card on a livestream in front of the community. It was the first time a spectacular card of the official VeeFriends logo was seen publicly and it sent shockwaves through the VeeFriends card community. Since then, Saugy has become an supportive pillar for many of the independent streamers within the community and a poster boy for how to the VeeFam supports each other. It was a pleasure jamming with Saugy and learning more about the 'legend of Saugy Waffles.'
