#61 - Justin Mezzell: The Art of NFTs and Web3 Business Opportunities

Our guest on today’s podcast is Justin Mezzell, one of the most credible leaders in the NFT community. He is the Co-Founder of Proof and Moonbirds and the creative mind behind the Moonbirds NFT collection. Previously to Moonbirds, he also Co-Founded and continues to run a project on Solana called Grim Syndicate. Justin and I touched upon a number of different topics around NFTs, building new cultures, and most importantly we discussed why women-led NFT projects seem to have a relatively harder time taking off. I shared my ideas with him on how I plan to build allyship between men, women and people of other diverse backgrounds to build an inclusive business model.  I hope you will find this episode as insightful and enjoyable as I did.    Outline ⤵️ 00:00 Intro 03:42 Justin’s journey into the NFT space 08:10 How could the NFT space incentivise other areas such as science, maths etc? 15:03 About the InPeak platform and web3 18:19 Somi’s 2 NFT drops of allies 25:55 How do NFTs give us the opportunity to build a new culture 28:30 Differences in NFT design for women and men 33:39 NFTs as a business idea 39:04 Moonbirds day to day 42:31 How do Moonbirds compare to other blue chips in this space? 51:49 Justin on skulls and music   Sponsor of this episode👉 https://www.metabrewsociety.com/
