Prepare to be captivated as our latest guest, a former lawyer with a zest for the art world, takes us on a journey from courtroom to canvas. Our conversation kicks off with the heated cookie debate of the century—chocolate chip or peanut butter?—before diving into the transformative waves of NFTs and crypto art. With a story that begins with skepticism and evolves into fervent participation, our guest chronicles the landmark Beeple sale that piqued his curiosity and the subsequent immersion into the thriving Twitter-based NFT community. Discover how one finds their artistic footing among digital masterpieces and the importance of fostering a true emotional connection with the art you collect.
As you tune in, you'll uncover the subtle art of selecting digital pieces that speak to your soul. Like a sommelier pairing the perfect wine with a meal, we discuss developing the palate needed to critique and appreciate art in all its forms, from the canvas to the screen.

It's a narrative about art that transcends mediums, teaching us the beauty and complexity of human expression.
Wrapping up, we don't just leave you with thoughts on art; we serve up a side of personal anecdotes and future aspirations. From gaming antics and the hilarity of pet ownership to heartfelt moments with family and the rewarding nature of making art accessible, this episode is a tapestry of experiences. And for a touch of indulgence, we tempt your taste buds with plans for a biscuits and gravy breakfast—because, as we know, the best conversations often happen over a shared meal.
