Blockchain & NFT Enabled Physical Collectibles - Interview with CEO Mike Bebel of OOD (The First Blockchain-Enabled Marketplace for Physical Collectibles)

When we think of NFTs, we think of virtual art, collectibles and communities enabled, authenticated and verified on the blockchain. But NFTs can be tied to physical, tangible goods as well via the blockchain - to easily verify ownership of, and authenticate, artworks (like paintings) and just about anything else. And OOD is the first company placing physical and tangible collectibles (artwork, music, media and sports memorabilia like trading cards) front and center and first (rather than as merely an add-on). Co-founder and CEO Mike Bebel, a media-tech pioneer, joins Peter for a fascinating conversation about OOD's new blockchain-enabled, story-driven physical collectibles marketplace - and why it works both with the demand side of the collectible market (collectors) and the supply side (artists, creators, athletes and music, media and sports companies).

AI, Entertainment & the Creative Arts - The Real World Implications (A Round Table Discussion)

Welcome to my special 50th episode of my Fearless Media podcast - a special one indeed. I recently hosted an AI-focused round table with guests that included Grammy award-winning artist and musician Alex Ebert (Edward Sharpe), AI artist and data scientist Aya, metaverse creator and influencer Don Allen Stevensen III, and IP attorney and expert Mike Kasdan. The Q&A actually begins at the 6:44 mark after initial introductions.
We discussed the Artist, Creator, Business and Legal implications of it all - and perhaps most importantly, the "Human" implications of it all - in a lively discussion that gets very "real" about how AI impacts all of our jobs and our lives in the Creative Arts (not to mention life in general). Critically, the panel goes deep into the very meaning of "Art" and "Creativity" itself and whether AI ultimately de-values creativity and leads to a morass of artistic mediocrity and conformity.
