Brian O’Hagan - Sorare: The Future Of Fantasy Sports - Zima Red ep 48 Jan 25, 2021

Show notes

My guest today is Brian O’Hagan, who leads growth at the football (or soccer for us Americans) collectible game Sorare.

I had a blast learning all about Brians background and his entrance into the cryptosphere but what was really exciting was learning all about Sorare.

If you are in the NFT ecosystem you know Sorare, they have been dominating the top sales charts on OpenSea for many months now and show no signs of slowing down.

I admit that I know next to nothing about football so having Brian explain how Sorare works in great detail was perfect. After our conversation I became convinced that Sorare has changed the fantasy sports and collectibles arena for good and I know Sorare is going to be huge.

Please enjoy my conversation with Brian.

Metakovan - The Metaverse Renaissance - Zima Red ep 47 Jan 14, 2021

Show notes

My guest today is Metakovan. Metakovan is the largest NFT collector in the world and recently spent $2.2m dollars on acquiring twenty 1/1 Beeple art pieces. All of his NFT-related endeavors are through an entity called Metapurse which is half NFT fund and half production company.

We hit it all in our conversation, his background, his thesis, his goals, we could have talked for hours and hours. I loved how Metakovan discusses his acquisition of the Beeple pieces and his future plans with something called B20 which is going to change the way people experience art.

One thing I want people to know is how down to earth Metakovan is. I had the pleasure of meeting Metakovan in person at NFT NYC and we bonded over our shared love of the metaverse and of course, late night Taco Bell. I can honestly say he is one of the kindest people I have ever met.

I am really looking forward to the future with Metakovan because he is working hard to inspire many and build incredible things for the entire metaverse.

Please enjoy my conversation with Metakovan.

Swiss first learned about NFTs in the very early days of their creation. Discovering Rare Pepes on the counterparty blockchain which were around all the way back in late 2016.

Jesse & Dan from Aavegotchi - Challenging The NFT Status Quo - Zima Red ep 41 Nov 30, 2020

Show notes

My guests today are Jesse and Dan. They are the founders of a new NFT project called Aavegtochi.

These things have it all.

To sum it up simply, Aavegotchi’s are: Defi-staked, on-chain, crypto-collectibles with wearables, dynamic rarity, kinship and even their own virtual world to inhabit and build on.

It's really refreshing to see an extremely high quality NFT project launch and by a team that has an incredible background.

Long story short, some Americans guys moved to china, worked different jobs, one of them became famous and they even started a band. What brought them together throughout all of their adventures was their love of crypto and NFTs.

I am really happy to have the opportunity to speak with Jesse and Dan about this awesome project and I hope you enjoy the conversation.
