In this special finale episode, the award winning advertising and marketing expert Joel Ponce talks about his own journey into the world of NFTs, blockchain and virtual real estate. We talk about the future of big brands and advertising in the web 3.0 era - will it be the end of marketing as we know it or a whole new frontier where smart marketing projects will boom? Plus we hear a few of the voices from the last 12 weeks that have shared their time and expertise to make the show such a big success. Next up... Season 2 is coming!

This week our special guests are Chris Menard and Jerem Febvre, co-founders of Newmisma - the groundbreaking new NFT art gallery bringing together Europe's top Graphic Novel artists with new iconic collectible digital art.  Newmisma is the premier Web3 platform, a social hub that grants exclusive access to unique content and experiences, and bridging the worlds of physical and digital art with the blockchain technology.

Pride Pixies is an NFT drop for 2023 that will use DeFi and micro loans to support women in tech, create free education for young people and support the LGBTQ+ community in Florida and beyond.

With the conservative administration of Gov. Ron Desantis passing restrictive laws on talking about diversity within Florida's classrooms - like Section 28 in the UK under Mrs. Thatcher - we discuss the rising tide of violence against the LGBTQ+ community, the cynical politics of Desantis, and the fight back from civil rights lawyer Genn and LGBTQ+ activist Taylor. 

This week our special guest is entrepreneur and data-powered business guru Ed Vincent, whose latest venture - FestivalPass - is using NFTs to build a community of passionate event-goers. From pop festivals to food festivals, major sporting events, concerts, luxury hotels and budget tours, FestivalPass is offering bucket-list experiences, access to private invite-only events with big name artists, and WL access to celeb NFT drops. Plus a whole lot more.
