VeeFam Sessions

For ep. #051, we chat with entrpreneur and @veefriendscards collector, Rahul Brahmbatt. Rahul shares about his journey through different career paths, his venture at Day One which partnered with  @veefriends  in 2022, and what it was like to win the first ever Compete & Collect Alpha Playtest Tournament in July 2023.

In episode #050, I chat with professional dancer, tech enthusiast, and educator, Peg Moore. Throughout our conversation, Peg talks about how she began teaching technology to older adults & how she found Gary Vee & VeeFriends. She also reflects on how she found her close knit community in the early days of VeeFriends, and some special moments she shared with Gary at VeeCon '22 & the NYC Halloween Parade in October of '23. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

In episode #049 we chat with VeeFriends marketing manager and Optimistic Otter, Tyler Dowdle. Tyler, who was also on ep. #009, has a fascinating origin story of getting scammed and losing his Series 1 NFTs, before buying back in a flipping all the way up to a Gift Goat. His content and perspective he exemplified throughout that event helped him land a job in the VeeFriends ecosystem and he hasn't looked back.

On this episode, Tyler and I look back and reflect on the last two years of VeeFriends collaborations, events, and memories.

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.
