In this episode, Carly interviews the one and only Danny Cole – in person! Danny is the mastermind and artist behind Creature World, a first of its kind NFT project that is pushing the boundaries of NFTs artistically and creatively.
Creature World captured the attention of big names in the NFT space from day one: from GaryVee, to Kevin Rose, to, even, Shaquille O’Neal. And at 22 years old, Danny’s not close to done.
What were some of the transformative experiences that shaped him into the artist he is today? From getting his start in high school – where he managed to get himself a job art directing at Coachella – to the biggest lessons he’s learned so far in life, this 2 hour conversation covers it all! Enjoy :).
