Vincent Zurzolo shares his journey in investing in comic books. Vincent shares his lifelong passion for comics, which he turned into a successful business that has sold some of the most expensive comic books in history, including multiple million-dollar issues. We discuss how comic books have evolved from casual childhood reads to serious investments, and how third-party grading and online auctions have expanded the market. He emphasizes that comics—whether for fun, art, or investment—are still thriving. We discuss... Vincent Zurzolo is the president and co-owner of Metropolis Collectibles and ComicConnect.com, leading companies in the vintage comic book market. He began collecting and selling comics at 15 and turned his passion into a multimillion-dollar business. His companies have sold some of the most expensive comics in history, including several copies of Action Comics #1 and Amazing Fantasy #15. Third-party grading, pioneered by his team, has made comics more accessible and investable for collectors worldwide. ComicConnect hosts regular online auctions featuring vintage comics, original comic art, and rare collectibles. Digital platforms like VeVe are changing how comics are collected, using NFT-like tokens to sell limited digital editions. The global comic market is expanding, with increasing interest in foreign editions and international collectors. Manga has become the most popular comic format globally, embraced by fans across cultures and countries. Original comic art—drawings used to create comic book pages—is a growing collectible category with high demand. People collect comics and art in creative ways, from themes like holidays and sports to specific characters or artists. Graphic novels, while popular and accessible, generally don't carry the same investment value as vintage comics. The comic book market offers entry points for all budgets, from dollar-bin finds to million-dollar grails. Zurzolo sees comic books as a major American art form that teaches vocabulary, inspires careers, and sparks imagination. He believes comic book movies will continue to thrive, despite variability in quality like any genre. He encourages people to read comics not just for collecting, but for joy, creativity, and escapism.

We all know that women and men are monoliths, right? Women like shoes and the government controlling their bodies; men like muscled-up NFTs of Donald Trump and bench-pressing bitcoin. But what if people aren't on this straight black-and-white binary? Candy Darling, born James Slattery, defied societal expectations and chose to live her life as a superstar along the lines of her favorite actor Kim Novak. Darling was one of Andy Warhol's last “superstars,” until her untimely death from cancer at the age of 29 in 1974. Strange Country cohosts Beth and Kelly discuss how Darling straddled two very different worlds; one where she hobnobbed in Warhol's inner circle and one where she relied on friends and acquaintances' couches because she had no money.

Send us a textVenture into the dynamic world of crypto art and NFTs with Eli Scheinman, whose journey from skepticism to passionate advocate offers fresh perspectives on digital ownership and creativity.Eli's story begins with healthy doubt – finding NFTs both "crazy" and "absurd" – yet these very qualities sparked a curiosity that led him deep into the blockchain art ecosystem. Unlike traditional collectors with lifelong habits, Eli approached the space with fresh eyes, drawn not to collectability but to the revolutionary creative canvas blockchain technology offers artists and creators.The conversation takes a particularly meaningful turn when discussing the human element of Web3. "The best things in Web3 for me are the relationships," Eli shares, highlighting an intriguing paradox where digital objects become the connective tissue for profound real-world connections. For adults who typically struggle to form diverse new friendships, the Web3 community has facilitated connections across geographical, professional, and cultural boundaries in ways traditional social structures rarely achieve.Looking toward the future, Eli offers a measured perspective on adoption timelines, suggesting that while five years might not show dramatic shifts in the collector landscape, the 10-20 year horizon will likely reveal substantial evolution as digital-native generations gain purchasing power. His market insights cut through typical hype cycles with practical wisdom: "Demand matters more than supply," he notes, explaining why established artists can expand their output while emerging creators must be more strategic.Beyond crypto discourse, Eli's fascinating life experiences enrich the discussion – from a solo bicycle journey from Vancouver to Mexico followed by months working on a Hawaiian farm, to meaningful time spent with seed savers of heirloom rice in rural South India. These adventures have shaped his minimalist collecting philosophy, where meaningful connection trumps accumulation.Whether you're a seasoned collector, curious creator, or simply interested in how technology shapes culture and community, this episode offers valuable perspectives on the human connections forming at the intersection of art and technology.https://x.com/eli_scheinSupport the show

After a pullback following the 2021 peak, this year's upswing is breathing new life into opportunities for both entrepreneurs and investors.Brian Belley, Vice President of Product at Kingscrowd, shared insights on this trend during this episode of the “Superpowers for Good” show. He highlighted the resilience of the market, noting, “The numbers were actually very encouraging for this year. So over the first six months, over the first half of the year, there was $450 million committed to these campaigns that are being done online to these offerings.”Despite economic uncertainty and public market volatility earlier this year, investors continued to support small businesses and startups. As Belley explained, “We actually raised $450 million in spite of all of that that was going on.” Beyond the investment totals, this capital is fueling job creation and economic activity across communities.Both Regulation A and Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) are seeing significant participation. Regulation A campaigns attracted $250 million, while Reg CF brought in $200 million—up 9% from last year. Belley pointed out, “In the case of Regulation A, that even exceeded the first six months even going back to 2021,” signaling the historic nature of this year's growth.One reason for Reg CF's continued appeal is its accessibility, with minimum investments as low as $50 or $100. Belley said, “The average investment size, check size, as we refer to it, does tend to be in that $1,000 to $1,200 range... there are some bigger investors out there as well who are investing in these companies.” This democratization of investing is helping more people participate in early-stage ventures.Recent successful offerings, such as the Newsmax Reg A+ campaign that raised $75 million, show how large brands can leverage their audiences to achieve record-breaking results. Such campaigns also demonstrate how regulated crowdfunding can bridge the gap between private and public markets, sometimes allowing shares to become tradable soon after the raise.Kingscrowd's projections suggest that the sector could reach $900 million by year's end, potentially rivaling or even surpassing the 2021 record. For founders seeking capital and investors seeking opportunities, the data points to a robust and promising period for regulated investment crowdfunding.For those interested in learning more, Belley's latest report is available at s4g.biz/king or kingscrowd.com, offering data, insights, and tools to help navigate this dynamic market.tl;dr:The episode highlights a renewed surge in regulated investment crowdfunding, with $450 million raised early in 2025.Brian Belley of Kingscrowd shares data and trends, showing growth in both Reg A and Reg CF offerings.Reg CF's accessibility empowers everyday investors and helps democratize early-stage investment opportunities.The Newsmax Reg A+ campaign illustrates how major brands can achieve record-breaking success through pre-IPO crowdfunding.The episode closes with practical advice for founders and investors to benefit from the evolving crowdfunding landscape.The Newsmax offering stands out as a prime example of pre-IPO crowdfunding. As Brian Belley explained, “Something very unique with the Newsmax offering is this ability where it was kind of this pre-IPO offering, where the shares that were purchased were essentially then kind of uplisted. They were listed on a public exchange after the Reg A offering, and they then became tradable.” This structure enabled investors not only to back a familiar media brand but also to access liquidity by trading their shares soon after the campaign, a feature rarely seen in traditional crowdfunding.The Newsmax Reg A+ campaign showcased how a company can leverage its established audience to fuel a record-breaking raise. With a large, engaged base, Newsmax was able to reach supporters eager for both financial returns and a chance to connect with the brand's mission. After the campaign, the shares became tradable on a public exchange, and early trading saw the stock price soar, providing some investors with significant short-term gains before stabilizing. This example demonstrates how regulated crowdfunding can bridge private capital raising and public market liquidity, offering tangible rewards and flexibility to investors.Build and engage a strong community or audience before launching any campaignLeverage brand recognition and trust to attract committed investorsStructure offerings with potential paths to liquidity, such as post-raise public tradingWork with experienced platforms and broker-dealers to maximize reach and regulatory complianceCommunicate risks and rewards transparently to set realistic investor expectationsGuest ProfileBrian Belley (he/him):Vice President, Product, KingscrowdAbout Kingscrowd: Kingscrowd is a team of financiers, venture capitalists, technologists, founders, and experts on a mission to democratize private market investing.

On this episode of Some Future Day, we crack open the playbook for financial freedom with one of America's most prolific entrepreneurs, Andrew Cartwright.

Darren Heitner is a nationally recognized attorney who specializes in sports and entertainment law. And most recently Darren has become one of the nation's experts on NIL (name, image, and likeness). His client list is a who's who of professional sports, including athletes and coaches such as Terrell Owens, Johnny Manziel, Randy Moss, Tyreek Hill, Manny Ramirez, Draymond Green, and Rick Pitino, to name just a few. Darren earned both his BA and JD from the University of Florida, where he was also a Valedictorian. In this episode we discuss the following: Darren's goal to remember why he's doing it: to help his clients. And one way he does that is by continually challenging himself to be a student. When NFTs exploded onto the scene, Darren learned all he could and became an NFT expert. As NIL transactions ramped up, so did Darren, becoming one of the go-to attorneys for everything related to NIL. Rather than fear new technologies, Darren gets excited by them and then learns all he can about them.

Send us a textArt has always been about storytelling, but what happens when collecting digital art becomes a way to document your own life journey? In this deeply personal conversation, Boona opens up about how a single NFT purchase captured the 10-year anniversary of his path to sobriety – a pivotal decision that changed everything.Boona's perspective as both a podcaster and collector gives him unique insights into the world of digital art. He shares the lightning-bolt moment when he first discovered NFTs during the 2021 Clubhouse boom, comparing it to the feeling he had when Steve Jobs unveiled the first iPhone. For a lifelong gamer who had spent thousands on digital assets he never truly owned, blockchain ownership just made sense.What keeps him passionate about web3 is the community built on authenticity. "It's the first community centered around something that incentivizes people to be authentic," he explains, noting how on-chain reputation creates natural accountability. Yet he doesn't shy away from addressing challenges, particularly what he calls the "dead zone" – art priced between 1-9 ETH that struggles during market downturns, leaving many talented artists in limbo.Looking toward the future, Boona offers a bold prediction: within five years, all significant art will incorporate code components. "We're not even in a renaissance yet," he argues, suggesting that truly revolutionary art requires embracing technological mediums rather than simply digitizing traditional forms. His call for more honest criticism in the space comes from a place of genuine care – seeing the potential for something truly transformative if we're willing to have difficult conversations.Beyond collecting, Boona shares exciting developments with his company Schiller, including their upcoming third season of media programming and the launch of Merch, a neo-couture fashion brand blending physical luxury with NFTs. This integration of technology with fashion exemplifies exactly the kind of thoughtful innovation he advocates for throughout our conversation.Whether you're a seasoned collector or new to the space, this episode offers valuable insights on finding meaning in digital collecting and the courage to voice constructive criticism. Follow us for more conversations that explore both the art and heart of web3.https://x.com/BoonaETHSupport the show

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Michelle Lilly. A cryptocurrency and blockchain educator and entrepreneur. Here's a summary of the key points discussed:
We're running another ACX Grants round! If you already know what this is and just want to apply for a grant, use the form here (should take 15 - 30 minutes), deadline August 15. If you already know what this is and want to help as a funder, VC, partner charity, evaluator, or friendly professional, click the link for the relevant form, same deadline. Otherwise see below for more information. What is ACX Grants? ACX Grants is a microgrants program that helps fund ACX readers' charitable or scientific projects. Click the links to see the 2022 and 2024 cohorts. The program is conducted in partnership with Manifund, a charity spinoff of Manifold Markets, who handle the administrative/infrastructure side of things. How much money is involved? I plan to contribute $200K. I expect (but cannot guarantee) an additional $800K from other donors, for a total of about $1 million. Most grants will probably be between $5,000 and $50,000, with a rare few up to $100,000. Depending on how much external donor interest there is, we will probably give between 10 and 50 grants. What's the catch? There's no catch, but this year we plan to experiment with replacing some grants with SAFEs, and others with convertible grants. That means that if you're a startup, we (ACX Grants as an nonprofit institution, not me personally) get some claim to future equity if you succeed. If you're not a startup, you'll sign an agreement saying that if your project ever becomes a startup, then we'll get the equity claim. We're still working on the exact details of this agreement, but we intend to have pretty standard terms and err in the favorable-to-you direction; obviously we'll show you the final agreement before you sign anything. We're doing this because some of our previous grantees became valuable companies, and it seems foolish to leave that money on the table when we could be capturing it and reinvesting it into future grants rounds. Please don't let this affect your decision to apply. Our top priority remains charity, and we'll continue to select grantees based on their philanthropic value and not on their likelihood of making us money. If you're not a startup and don't plan to become one, none of this should affect you. And if you have a good reason not to want to sign these agreements - including “I'm not savvy enough to know what this means and it makes me nervous” - then we're happy to opt you out of them. What's the timeline? We'd like to have grants awarded by October 1 and money in your hands by November 1. This is a goal, not a promise. What will the application process be like? You fill out a form that should take 15 - 30 minutes. If we have questions, an evaluator might email or call you, in a way that hopefully won't take more than another 15 - 30 minutes of your time to answer. If you win a grant, Manifund will send you the money, probably by bank wire. Every few years, we might ask you to fill out another 15 - 30 minute form letting us know how your project is doing. What kind of projects might you fund? There are already lots of good charities that help people directly at scale, for example Against Malaria Foundation (which distributes malaria-preventing bed nets) and GiveDirectly (which gives money directly to very poor people in Africa). These are hard to beat. We're most interested in charities that pursue novel ways to change complex systems, either through technological breakthroughs, new social institutions, or targeted political change. Among the projects we've funded in the past were: Development of oxfendazole, a drug for treating parasitic worms in developing countries. A platform that lets people create prediction markets on topics of their choice A trip to Nigeria for college students researching lead poisoning prevention. A group of lawyers who sue factory farms under animal cruelty laws. Development of software that helps the FDA run better drug trials. A startup building anti-mosquito drones to fight tropical disease A guide for would-be parents on which IVF clinics have the highest successful rate of successful implantation. A university lab working on artificial kidneys You can read the full list here and here, and the most recent updates from each project here. Is there anything good about winning an ACX Grant other than getting money? You'll get my support, which is mostly useful in getting me to blog about your project. For example, I can put out updates or requests for help on Open Threads. I can also try to help connect you to people I know. Some people who won ACX Grants last year were able to leverage the attention to attract larger grantmakers or VCs. You can try to pitch me guest posts about your project. This could be a description of what you're doing and why, or just a narrative about your experience and what you learned from it. Warning that I'm terrible to pitch guest posts to, I almost never go through with this, and I'm very nitpicky when I do. Still, you can try. We're working on gathering a network of friendly professionals who agree to provide pro bono or heavily discounted support (eg legal, accounting, business advice, cloud compute) to ACX grantees. We've only just begun this process and it might not actually materialize. There are occasional virtual and physical meetups of ACX grantees; these don't always result in Important Professional Connections, but are pretty interesting. What if I want those nonfinancial benefits for my project, but don't need money? Apply for a grant of $1. But we're pretty nervous about giving very-low-cost grants because it's too easy to accept all of them and dilute our signaling value; for this reason, it might be harder to get a grant of $1 than a grant of $5,000, and we expect these to make up only 0 - 10% of our cohort. You might be better off coming up with some expansion of your project that takes $5,000 and applying for that. What are the tax implications of an ACX Grant? Consult your accountant, especially if you live outside the US. If you live inside the US, we think it's ordinary taxable income. If you're an individual, you'll have to pay taxes on it at your usual tax rate. If you're a 501(c), you'll get your normal level of tax exemption. I want to fund you, how can I help? For bureaucratic reasons, we're currently looking for donations mostly in the $5,000+ range. If that's you, fill out the Funder Application Form. If we've already talked about this over email, you don't need to fill out the form, but we encourage you to do so anyway so we know more about your interests and needs. What's the story behind why you have $200K to spend on grants every year, but are still asking for more funding? Some generous readers sent me crypto during the crypto boom, or advised me on buying crypto, or asked to purchase NFTs of my post for crypto. Some of the crypto went up. Then I reinvested it into AI stocks, and those went up too. I think of this as unearned money and want to give some of it back to the community, hence this grants program. I have a lot of it but not an unlimited amount. At the current rate, I can probably afford another ~5 ACX Grants rounds. When it runs out, I‘ll just be a normal person with normal amounts of money (Substack is great, but not great enough for me to afford this level of donation consistently). My hope is that I can keep making these medium-sized donations, other people can add more to the pot, and we'll be able to drag this out at least five more rounds, after which point maybe we'll come up with another plan. I'm a VC, how can I help? Some of our applicants are potentially-profitable startups, and we decide they're a better match for VC funding than for our grants. If you're willing to look these over and get in touch with any that seem interesting, fill out the VC Application Form. It will ask for more information on what kind of opportunities you're interested in funding. I'm a philanthropist or work at a philanthropic foundation; how can I help? Some of our applicants are good projects, but not a good match for us, and we want to shop them around to other philanthropists and charities who might have different strengths or be able to work with larger amounts of money. If that's you, please fill out the Partner Charity Application Form I'm good at evaluating grants, or an expert in some specific field; how can I help? If you have experience as a grantmaker or VC, or you're an expert in some technical field, you might be able to help us evaluate proposals. Fill out the Evaluator Application Form. By default we expect you'll want us to send you one or two grants in your area of expertise, but if you want a challenge you can request more. If we've already talked about this over email, you don't need to fill out the form, but we encourage you to do so anyway so I know more about your interests and needs. We expect to get more volunteers than we need, and most people who fill in the evaluator form won't get contacted unless we need someone from their specific field. I'm a professional who wants to do pro bono work for cool charities, how can I help? Fill out the Friendly Professional Application Form. If we get enough applicants, we'll compile them into a directory for our grantees. I participated in the Impact Certificate Market last year, did you forget about me? Yes until Austin Chen reminded me last month No! Request final oracular funding by filling in the Impact Applicant Form. Sorry, I forgot, where do I go to apply for a grant again? See form here. Please apply by 11:59 PM on August 15th. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/apply-for-an-acx-grant-2025
