NorCal and Shill
The Gratitude of Creating in Web3

Send us a textWhat transforms a fashion industry professional into a respected crypto artist? In this candid conversation with Jules, we explore the fascinating intersection of traditional art backgrounds and Web3 innovation.Jules opens up about his creative evolution that began alongside major fashion designers, where he absorbed the art of vision execution before developing his own voice through photography and digital creation. His refreshingly positive outlook on work—from managing an ice cream shop at 14 to selling "flowers" in Northern California—reveals how gratitude shapes both his art and his approach to the crypto space."We are all so lucky," Jules reminds us, highlighting how privileged we are to participate in this innovative ecosystem regardless of market conditions. This perspective extends to his thoughtful approach to creating digital art, where he considers whether each piece deserves to "live forever" on the blockchain before minting it.The conversation takes fascinating turns through discussions of supply dynamics, comparing approaches from artists like Jack Butcher and Joe Pease, while Jules shares his own philosophy of creating deliberately and with reverence for blockchain permanence. His insights on editions versus one-of-ones offer valuable perspective for both creators and collectors navigating the space.Perhaps most valuable is Jules' advice to fellow artists: "Don't forget to live life, because what happens outside of making art is what informs the art." This reminder to maintain balance and draw inspiration from diverse experiences resonates as essential wisdom for creative sustainability in any medium.Join us for this heartfelt discussion about finding your people, creating with intention, and approaching each day with positivity in the evolving landscape of digital art.

Janis shares his journey, from discovering his love for creating visuals to helping others find clarity and connection through his work.Janis' Journey to Visual StorytellingJanis began his creative journey while working in IT project management. Inspired by thinkers like Tim Ferriss and Jack Butcher, he explored the concept of explaining ideas visually, starting with scrappy experiments on Instagram. Despite facing years of low traction, Janis stayed consistent and eventually found his unique style—a clean, impactful method of distilling big ideas into simple visuals.By focusing on creating value and building an audience ethically, Janis transitioned from his 9-to-5 to a thriving creative business, proving the power of persistence.Overcoming Imposter SyndromeIn the early days of his creative journey, Janis struggled with the same doubts that hold many creators back. However, he believed in his ability to “figure things out” and stayed curious about learning and growth. This mindset helped him overcome roadblocks and discover his strengths, inspiring him to share his process with others.The Business of VisualsJanis now offers a course on visual storytelling, helping aspiring creators and marketers bring their ideas to life. He emphasizes that you don't need to be a professional designer to make an impact.

His own journey includes a book deal, bringing his unique approach to a broader audience.Lessons for Aspiring CreatorsStart Ugly: Don't let perfectionism hold you back.

That belief kept me moving forward when I had no results.”“Focus on delivering the idea, not perfection. Ugly, scrappy visuals that communicate effectively can still be impactful.”“If you build an audience ethically, there will always be ways to monetize.”Guest BioJanis Ozolins is a visual creator and educator who helps others explain ideas visually.

Send us a textJack Butcher, a visionary in the world of NFTs and crypto art, joins us to unravel his personal journey through this digital frontier. From the moment he realized the potential of NFTs through Foundation's user experience, Jack shares the challenges and insights he has gained in navigating the crypto art market. We explore the significance of online property rights, the need for robust creator infrastructure, and the pitfalls of relying solely on floor prices when assessing value. As digital art and NFTs continue to evolve, we draw fascinating parallels to past technological shifts that were initially underestimated.Our discussion moves to the future of crypto art, focusing on how digital property rights will become increasingly crucial in the years to come. Jack and I discuss the cyclical nature of digital trends, how the internet's expansion might impact the ratio of valuable to non-valuable content, and why NFTs might one day be judged on their own merits rather than as a technological novelty. We also consider the economic dynamics facing artists in this rapidly changing space, highlighting the pressures of maintaining value and momentum after early successes.In the realm of digital art economics, we tackle the complexities of scarcity, the role of affordability, and the intriguing concept of ordinals. Jack shares insights into how affordable editions can broaden an artist's network and attract high-end collectors. We emphasize the importance of community, collaboration, and authenticity in shaping the future of art in the digital age, drawing from Jack's own experiences in the UK and his design background. Whether you're an artist, collector, or simply curious about the future of digital art, this conversation offers a wealth of insights and fresh perspectives.https://x.com/jackbutcherhttps://x.com/visualizevalue https://x.com/checksvv https://x.com/opepenedition https://visualizevalue.com/Support the showSupport the show

The Euro 2016 qualifier between Serbia and Albania in October 2014 was politically charged between the two nations. But the opening exchanges in Belgrade had passed without major incident, until a drone carrying a flag appeared in the sky above the pitch, with violent breaking out on and off the pitch.Albania's captain Lorik Cana and football reporter Nick Ames speak to Jack Butcher about that infamous night in the Serbian capital. This is a Whistledown production for the BBC World Service.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive and testimony. Sporting Witness is for those fascinated by sporting history. We take you to the events that have shaped the sports world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes, you become a fan in the stands as we take you back in time to examine memorable victories and agonising defeats from all over the world. You'll hear from people who have achieved sporting immortality, or those who were there as incredible sporting moments unfolded.Recent episodes explore the forgotten football Women's World Cup, the plasterer who fought a boxing legend, international football's biggest ever beating and the man who swam the Amazon river. We look at the lives of some of the most famous F1 drivers, tennis players and athletes as well as people who've had ground-breaking impact in their chosen sporting field, including: the most decorated Paralympian, the woman who was the number 1 squash player in the world for nine years, and the first figure skater to wear a hijab. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the tennis player who escaped the Nazis, how a man finally beat a horse in a race, and how the FIFA computer game was created.(Photo: Serbia's Stefan Mitrovic grabs a flag with Albanian national symbols flown by a drone during the football match between Serbia and Albania in Oct 2014.
