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.

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.
