Quotes

Joe: “YouTube is already the #1 place podcasts are listened to.… Now, if they are going to really go after that market in a different way and focus on findability, beyond the subscriber bases, there might be an opportunity there.”  (27:30)

 

Robert: “Where is attention moving? As commuting comes back and as podcasts have come back, competition has thickened, with streaming services and other elements that aren’t podcasts.” (33:24)

 

Joe: “If you’re an artist or a musician where you create some kind of a good and you want to show that ownership and get paid overtime, it comes with the non-fungible token. The reason it’s going to start heating up is that there are going to be a lot of people that are going to make a lot of money off of this.” (40:41)

 

Robert: “Whatever company kills it here is going to be the google of this thing. Their name will become the xerox, the google, the kleenex… a making an NFT or a certificate.” (41:48)

 

Joe: “Create your own thing. Go out and build something. Build your own audience. Do something amazing without some large entity telling you how you should do things a certain way.”    (52:09)

 

Robert: “You start associating your brand with the brand of where you’re practicing your art.” (57:52)
