It is my honor to share the stage with the one and only, threadguy.eth

Today's guest is a serial entrepreneur that has been extremely active in the Web3 community, and exploring new use cases for blockchain technology. He is a frequent speaker at conferences around the world, and is the cofounder of social fresh a community for social media professionals. It is my honor to share the stage tonight with the one and only Jason Keath.

Today's guest is an investor/collector that I have always looked up to a lot. Along with OSF, today's guest created Canary Art - one of the greatest NFT collections in the world. The Canary Collection holds Over 70 Bored Apes, 30 Cool Cats, 1/1s from Fewocious and XCopy, along with a Lost Robbie - one of the rarest NFTs in the world. And that's just a snapshot of the epic collection. The duo also worked together to create Flips Finance - an NFT statistic and ranking protocol to help collectors research in this ecosystem. Oh AND they co-founded DegenzNFT as another resource for beginners in the space. The more you learn about today's guest - the more you will admire him. It is my extreme honor to share the stage with the one and only Mando!!

Another week in the NFT Space has passed, which means we have a lot to recap. Join Farokh and company as we break down the top trending news headlines of the past week.

Today's guest is an OG Bored Ape Yacht Club Member that had enough conviction to hold onto his ape through all the twists and turns and extremely volatile price swings of the last year. He also has a unique role in the industry by being a VIP Customer Support agent for Dapper Labs during the Top Shot craze. He buys with conviction and has a portfolio that exemplifies that long term thinking. It's my honor to share the stage today with someone I'm excited to learn more about myself, JBond!

Michael Dumler is a friend that I met through the Crazy Carl Collective. He's an NFT Photographer that has constantly put relationships first in the Web3 space. Today he's coming to us from Poland/Ukraine on the ground between borders helping bring supplies in and refugees out of the war stricken country. He asked for some time to chat about what him and his team are up, to help spread the word to the Web3 community. I'm so glad he did, and am excited for him to join us today.

Today's guest is another shining example of how this space can change your life in a very short time with dedication, hard work, and constant relationship building. From being an early community member of Cool Cats to eventually becoming one of their most well known mods, he has constantly stayed curious and had a drive to learn, grow, and build in the space. From community member to mod to trusted advisor to smaller NFT projects, he continues expanding his role and growing in the NFT Space. It is my extreme honor to share the stage today with fellow Crazy Carl Collective member and friend, Ali!!

On NFT Fomo a couple weeks ago you had mentioned something about this space that still has stuck in my mind, and that is that there has to be shared responsibility and accountability by EVERYONE involved, from the artist to the devs to the community builders to the community members themselves. I think that really honed into what's missing in Web3 today, and would love for you to chat a little more about your thoughts there.

Today's guest has a special place in my heart. I was introduced to him through Nicole Benham, who was on this show a few months back. She had talked very highly of him on the show, and since Nicole and I now co-host NFT FOMO, he's made several appearances on panels we've held. He's a pioneer in disruptive tech, advocacy, and he fights for a better world with his actions more than his words. He truly understand where we need to head in Web3, and his position as an advisor for the Dented Feels project made me very bullish because he thinks of how to uplift communities first and foremost. His list of accolades are too long to number but most notably he was the former CEO of Jake Paul and Logan Paul. He's been a leader to so many other leaders in the space, including myself. It's my honor to share the stage with a man I feel honored to call a friend, Paolo.

I love this show so much, because everyone's journey is so unique and personal and today's guest is no different. Originally the featured artist of an up and coming NFT project, he and the team had a falling out... but in true Web3 spirit the community listened to the stories of both sides in different Twitter Spaces, and from that two projects were born, each with communities that supported their project and vision. The beauty of not being silenced but being able to feel heard is important, and right in line with the true ethos of Web3. It is an honor today to share the stage with the incredibly talented artist and founder of Dented Feels - Dentin!!!

Today I'm so excited to have a friend in the space join the show. It is often those closest to us in the space whose journey we learn from the fastest. Through friendship, we grow. Today's guest has an extraordinary story about his journey into the Web3 space, and after hearing about it I had to have him on the show. From starting his journey tuning into Clubhouse rooms early last year, to becoming one of the moderators and close friends of those he was learning from - he embodies how curiosity, relationship building, and friendships can change the course of your destiny in Web3. It is my honor to share the stage with my close friend, moderator and community builder of Rug Radio and Dented Feels NFT, and now Alpha contibutor in the Crazy Carl Collective - Aaronito!!!

Farokh, Crazy Carl, and company recap the top 5 trending topics in the NFT Space this week.

Today I'm so excited to have one of the great female crypto art OGs join me on the stage. Most of the world discovered crypto art around March of 2021 after Beeple's record breaking 69 million dollar Christie's auction, but there were a handful of artists that were around well before that, and today's guest was one of those pioneers. After falling in love with art as a child, today's guest (like many of us) got busy in life and lost touch with creating, that is until she heard about this new world of NFTs. She is an example of not giving up on your dreams, and leaning into the unknown. She has had several extremely successful NFTs drops on MakersPlace, and is now preparing to launch her own generative NFT collection called Katy's Love Lost Dolls. It's my honor to share the stage with the one and only Katy Arrington.

Farokh and Crazy Carl discuss two different Web3 initiatives that came together within 24 hours to help raise money for humanitarian efforts in Ukraine: RELI3F and Ukraine DAO.

Nicole Benham and Crazy Carl discuss the Ukraine invasion.

Today may be one of the most exciting guests yet to join us on stage! Ever since this show started airing back in July of last year, we have focused on the journey of pioneers in the NFT space. We have had some incredible youth join us on the show, but tonight we have the honor of having the youngest pioneer yet. At just 13 years old, today's guest is a digital artist that has already created a wildly successful NFT collection called Long-Neckie Ladies, has been featured on CNN, and has collaborated with Time Magazine for a special NFT release. Oh yeah, and she hosts her own Rug Radio show called "dream big." Sit back and get ready to learn, because regardless of age there will be lessons shared tonight from the incredibly talented and inspirational Nyla Hayes!!

Today I'm honored to have an incredibly talented and well known digital artist join the show. Starting his creative journey in 2007, this graphic and motion designer made a name for himself prior to even entering the NFT Space. He has worked on cover art for well know labels including Atlantic Records, Def Jam, Sony Records, UMG & more. His work fuses street culture & humor with brash saturated colors, and truly captures the viewer. His Web3 journey is already off to a hot start through the development and creation of his now well known EVOL character. With over 250 ETH in primary sales alone, his Web2 identity has already had a very successful evolution onto the blockchain. It is my honor to share the stage with the one, and only, legendary KidEight!!!

Today I'm honored to have an incredibly talented and important voice in the NFT space join the show. From singing to creating art to content creation in Web3, he is showing what it is possible in the space with work ethic, drive, and determination. He also constantly is uplifting others in the space and ensuring that under-hears voices get the platform they deserve. It is truly an honor to be joined on stage by an active builder and good friend, Ed Balloon!

Today I'm honored to have a crypto OG on stage with me. Graduating from Harvard with a Physics degree and then transitioning to Stanford for his PHD in Computer Science, he has constantly shown curiosity and a pursuit for learning from an early age. And it doesn't stop there. His OG experience in the crypto realm speaks for itself from being the founder of Stanford Bitcoin meetup back in 2013, to co-founding MaiCoin the largest digital asset exchange in Taiwan, to creating the first analytics tool used by the US Secret Service... Oh and on top of that he cofounded the first onchain PFP project created in a single transaction OncCahin monkey!! Without further ado it's my honor to share the stage with a legend building in the background Danny Yang.

Today I'm excited to have another incredible, multi talented female NFT creator in the space on stage with me. She has wrote, compose, and produced over 15 musical projects since 2014 and her work has been featured by Microsoft as well as in multiple theaters. Beyond music, she is also an incredible writer and her articles have been featured in CRACK Magazine, Tom Tom, and The Seattle Weekly. She is also a constant voice on Twitter Spaces and advocate to empower and fight for underheard voices in the NFT Space. I don't know if there's anything she can't or hasn't done to be honest. It's my honor to share the stage with the one and only SassyBlack!

Today I'm excited to have one of my best friends in the space on my show. He is a true example of what I talk about when I say the key to success in Web3 is giving more than you ask for. He spends hours upon hours on Spaces in small rooms helping answer questions about NFTs and helps brainstorm with those thinking about their own projects as well. He is a true unsung hero in this space when it comes to onboarding and genuine connections with new people entering into the space... He also happens to be hilarious and incredibly good looking as well. It is for all these reasons and more that it is my honor to share the stage with the one and only NFT Buffet!!

Today I'm excited to have Morgan on the show, an incredible female NFT content creator on the show! Her success in the space is a direct result of hard work, perseverance, and forming genuine relationships in the space. Creator of Morgan smiles NFT and Grumpkins NFT, and founder of Breaking NFT News, she's constantly finding new ways to explore web3 and what it has to offer. She spends countless hours hosting Twitter Spaces to connect with the NFT community, and is a true honor to now share the stage with her today,

Today I'm excited to have an extremely talented musician and artist on the show that has some OG connections to the NFT Space. Originally minting 2 CryptoPunks back in 2017, he has been exploring the world of crypto/NFTs for quite some time. Beyond his joy for the world of blockchain, he is also an incredible musician, DJ, and artist. He has performed all over the world, and is now working to converge all of his joys together in one place through the launching of his own generative art project that will combine elements of his passion for art and music down the road. It is my extreme honor to share the stage with the one and only JSTJR!

Today I'm excited to have someone that I have grown to admire deeply in the NFT space on the show. His appearance tonight is a reminder to me of how growth in the NFT space is best achieved organically, and the power of supporting and putting others interest before yours can truly come back and accelerate your own growth. He worked alongside closely with Vinnie Hager as he launched the wildly successful letters NFT project, and is now working behind the scenes with Will Nichols as a critical component in the very anticipated Weather Report NFT Project. Although he may be behind the scenes most of the time, his common link to successful launches cannot be ignored and I couldn't be more excited to talk with him tonight about growing strong communities in the Web3 space. It's my honor to share the stage tonight with the one and only Toby Lasso.

Today I'm excited to have another amazing NFT artist joining the show. This incredibly talented artist came to fame in 2009 for his graffiti work on the streets of Los Angeles paying homage to the great Andy Warhol. His work earned him international acclaim and he has since been featured in galleries and exhibits all around the world. His NFT journey has been equally astounding, with the creation of incredible drops on NiftyGateway that focused on the convergence of the physical and digital realms. From painting, to sculptures, to digital art, he is a true pioneer exploring new frontiers. It is my honor to share the stage with the one and only ThankYouX.

Today I'm excited to have another amazing NFT artist joining the show. This multi talented creator creates graphic design/logos, oil & acrylic paintings, marker work, ink, spray paint, and graphite. He doesn't confine to one medium because of his joy of crafting the creations he visualizes in his mind. He's been mastering his craft since 2012 and his entrance into the NFT scene has been very well received by the community with his SuperRare pieces selling for up to $50,000. It's my honor to share the stage today with the one and only Zaid Kirdsey.

Today we have a Web2 legend in the house. It is always incredible seeing OG Web2 builders finding their way into this space so early, because they notice pattern recognition form the early days of the internet. Today's guest was one of the first Youtube stars to go viral back in 2008 from vlogging about his adventures with his family. That channel, Shaytards, now has over 4.8 million subscribers. But that was just the beginning of his journey building in Web2. He partnered in 2009 with other Youtube stars to create a media company called Makers Studios which was then sold to Disney in 2014 for half a billion dollars. He is one of the first internet personalities I looked up to over a decade ago, and it is an extreme honor to now share the stage with the one and only Shay Carl!!!

I am so excited for today's guest! From the beginning of this show when it started back in July of 2021 I had a bucket list of guests I was hoping to have a chance to chat with more to learn about their journeys. Today's guest was on that bucket list. As a collector of NFTs from very early on last year, there were a few pioneer collectors that I loved watching, because of their ability to spot fine art in the digital realm, but then also because of the conviction they had to place massive bets on those pieces. Not only is he a legend for his NFT collection, but he was also one of the first collectors in the space to build and use the blockchain to give back to those that supported him and his journey through his collection The NFT Guild. It is my honor to share the stage with someone I've looked up to throughout my journey in the NFT space, Amir.

Ramon, founder of Myth Division, is interviewed after the announcement that Myth Division would be one the artists of the Genesis Crazy Carl Collective NFTs. Follow @CrazyCryptoCarl on Twitter for more information.

Today's guest is a fellow Twitter Spaces personality and I couldn't be more excited to have him on to share his journey with those that have followed him since the beginning. I always love having guests that I've been able to watch grow from the sidelines, and I've been doing just that with today's guest. Co-host of one of the top shows in the space, NFT Morning Alpha, he shows up EVERY day to help onboard and share insights with the community as they begin another day grinding in the NFT ecosystem. He also hosts The NFT Nick Show Podcast, and is the founder of TheNifty.com where he connects aspiring and successful NFT collectors and builders through resources like newsletters and job boards. A builder in every sense of the word, it's my honor to share the stage today with the one and only NFT Nick!

Today's guest is an incredibly gifted singer/songwriter/musician. As a young talent in 2006, she posted videos on YT of her songs. Her song, "Say It's Possible" went viral and she received recognition for best music video for the inaugural YouTube Awards. Immediately after, she was propelled into the spotlight and signed with Universal Music and Island Records. She has experience in the legacy music industry, and from that, understands just how revolutionary blockchain can be for musicians and artists to reclaim their power from the problems of the legacy world. It's my honor to share the stage with the ultra talented Terra Naomi!!

I am so excited for today's guest. While many in the NFT ecosystem have been focused on the Ethereum blockchain, other pioneers have been voyaging other blockchains and building out ecosystems beyond. We are living in an evolving technological frontier, and those brave enough to explore waters beyond - like today's guest- are just a reminder of how vast of a landscape we are looking to develop in the new year. A solana NFT expert at FTX, and builder in the space of Solana Monke DAO, it's my great honor to share the stage with the one and only Solana Legend!

Today's guest is yet another example of how diving into the web3 space with talent and vision can change the course of your life in a short time. Entering the space in February of this year, he went deep down the NFT rabbit hole and started creating a vision of how he could turn his cat doodles into a cool NFT Art Project. His blue cat came to life in July as a 10k PFP project called Cool Cats- each with unique traits. The cats were sold out in a random mint for .02eth (or about $50), and today (less than 6 months later) the cheapest cool cat is 400 times higher on the secondary market at 8 eth or about $32,000. A talented artist and true community builder, it's my honor to share the stage today with the one and only creator of cool cats, Clon.

The insanely talented musician and web3 builder Richard Vagner joins the show to discuss his experience in Bored Ape Yacht Club, performing around live NFT events in 2021, and discussing what he sees coming in the new year.

Today's guest is another example of how web3 is shifting the paradigm about what is possible for future generations. As a 17 year old, today's guest has been able to share his art with the world and has created a narrative around what is possible in web3 regardless of age when you have talent and grit. With over 21k followers, this 3D and digital artist has found a niche for creating extremely surreal and beautiful landscapes. He started graphic design work at the age of 11, and is highly regarded as one of the best in his craft in the entire field, regardless of age. Over 10 of his 1/1 pieces on SuperRare have sold for between 20-30k dollars each just THIS YEAR. It is my honor to share the stage with another young pioneer in the space. Justin Graphics!

Today's guest is another example of how web3 is shifting the paradigm about what is possible for future generations. As a 16 year old, today's guest has helped manage discord communities for two blue chip projects: Gutter Cat Gang and Smiles... and has been a huge support in getting the Crazy Carl discord up and running as well. While juggling many hats between school and web3 he has already been able to accrue an incredible savings and even bought his first truck thanks to NFTs. It is my honor to have this young builder in the web3 space on the show, LoganOppz

Today's guest is an OG in the crypto industry and has seen the space evolve since its very early days. Using his studies from the prestige business school at UNC at Chapel Hill, he applied his financial understandings to the crypto markets since 2010, before Ethereum was even born. He has since helped over 1800 subscribers in his telegram group Scruffur Calls understand his inner thinking by providing his market calls for free, and has worked with numerous crypto startups as an advisor, with his most recent and public involvement being an advisor for the $GM coin developers and team. It is my honor to share the stage with the one and only Max Scruffur.

Today's guests shows the power of how diving deep down the NFT rabbit hole can literally change your life. He was one of the earliest community members of the Gutter Cat Gang, and from the very beginning, he has been building community in that ecosystem. From starting the original GCG gathering place in Conversations from the Gutter, to becoming an official brand ambassador, to now starting his own show called The Midnight Munchies, he has immersed himself into the culture of NFTs and shows how building organically from the ground up in this ecosystem can truly change your life. One of my closest friends and now a full time NFTer, the one and only Dr. Leo Dicatrio.

The crew from Myth Division stop by to chat about their journey from legacy comic world to Web3 explorers and pioneers.

Today's guest is one of the most prolific photographers of our generation. He is regularly sought out to photograph legends in the entertainment industry and his portfolio includes Robert De Niro, Danny DeVito, Jennifer Lawrence, and John Legend - just to name a few. His true passion comes from exploring worlds away from home that many don't take time to understand. His curiosity for culture has taken him from Syria to Iraq to India to Ethiopia. He has been named one of the Most Influential Photographers to Watch on Social Media and his storytelling in communities from around the world is where his true passion lies. His passion for communities has him now exploring web3 and he plans to drop his Genesis NFT collection next week with Quantum! It is my honor to share the stage with the incredibly talented Joey L.

Today's guest is about as OG as it gets when it comes to NFT collectors. He was one of the earliest market makers of high end punks back in 2017, with 8 cryptopunk Apes and 7 out of the 9 aliens making their way through his wallet. Sotheby's recently paid tribute to legendary colletors, and he was rightfully chosen to be one of the collectors featured. He was trading NFTs before even crypto natives like myself had any idea what an NFT was. It is my insane honor to share the stage today with a collector that I look up to. The one, and only, Straybits!

Today's guest has quickly become an incredible female voice in the space. With over 245k clubhouse followers, she used her platform relationships from the NFT space there to dive head first and learn about the potential of web3 and the blockchain. She is the founder of Beyond Media where she connects directly with her audience through interviews with a wide array of guests, and she is already building in the NFT space through her involvement with Party Degenerates. It is my extreme honor to share the stage today with another powerful voice in the onboarding movement to Web3, Nicole Benham.

He is well known in the industry for using digital mediums to paint in a traditional manner. His work is highly regarded by pioneers in the industry.

Since that drop he has been active in the space, and continuing his journey down the Rabbit Hole that is NFT/Crypto. It's my honor to share the stage today with the one and only Sam Spratt.

Today's guest is yet another incredible success story in the NFT space of how you can build organic growth around providing value to others in the space. After dabbling in NFTs, today's guest became intrigued with this new world and used his analytical background to break down data about NFT projects in the space. Since joining Twitter in March of this year he has become one of the most followed individuals in the NFT space because of the constant value he provides the community. From 0 to over 110k followers in 7 short months, and over 12k substack subscribers- he is a testament to how conviction and providing value organically is THE BEST way to achieve success. It is my honor to share the stage for the SECOND time on the Crazy About Crypto Show, with the one and only Zeneca!

Even with all of this success, he sees the power of web3 and has already been an active community member in this ecosystem creating NFTs, engaging with the community, and even becoming a frequent live audience member of the Crazy About Crypto Show. It is my honor to finally share the stage with someone I have quickly become close friends with, David Horvath!

Today's guest is truly as real as it gets when it comes to conviction about building community. He has realized since early on, just how important community is in NFT projects, and has been adding value to both the Bored Ape Yacht Club and Gutter Cat Gang with his platform of nearly 20k Twitter followers. He's constantly encouraging others to learn about communities in the NFT space and finding their niche to getting involved. It's my true pleasure to introduce tonight's guest, my friend, KingBlackBored!
