Getting Older

Today on the 13th Episode of Black Box, we’re going to flip back to a less informative and more anecdotal episode. Specifically, we’re going to discuss getting older and the changes that come along with it to both your body and mind. We’re definitely finding our groove with episode structure and enjoying the journey of trying new things. Unless you all say otherwise, we will most likely stay with the casual/informative alternation!

Today on the 12th Episode of The Black Box Podcast, we are going to discuss a new form of digital art referred to as NFTs or Non-Fungible Tokens. You might have seen something on Facebook or Instagram about an NFT selling for 500k US, or 150 ETH. Some people are calling this the digital wave of collectible art and they will be displayed in Museums, others are more skeptical but let's unpack some information together. As we promised, we’re coming with a more informative/formal episode and we plan to swap between formal/informal as the episodes go on!
