Odds and Ends

Get ready to be captivated as we journey through the riveting world of business ventures, personal connections, and the dynamic framework of NFTs. Our guests, Drew Cohen and Stefan Nason, bring their unique perspectives to the table - Drew, with his extensive expertise in media and marketing, and Stefan, sharing his professional athletic journey and how he plunged into the pulsating NFT market. These two narratives fuel a rich conversation, from the art of building businesses online to the captivating culture of digital collectibles.
Buckle up as we navigate the often challenging terrain of client management and the art of juggling multiple ventures. We zero in on the vital role of relationships in fostering business growth, the persuasive power of testimonials, and the nuances of delivering top-tier customer service. And if you think that’s all, wait until you hear Drew's extraordinary tale of locating a watch for a client within a day! We shift gears in the latter part of our conversation, steering towards health and mentorship. Tune in for a lively discourse on the profound impact of coaches on performance, the spectrum of coaching styles, and the significance of understanding an individual's 'why.'
As we wind down our engaging chat, we bring some fun to the mix, reminiscing about our favorite movies and expressing gratitude for the bonds we've formed. We dive into the influence of technology on our lives, delve into Drew's unique beard solution, and discuss the innovative concept of Coachbot. This episode is packed with a wealth of insights, a dash of fun, and a whole lot of inspiration. So join us and be part of this enlightening conversation; we promise it’s an episode you won't want to miss!

This one is a true banger, one of the best episodes we've ever done. Why? Well, Coach (https://twitter.com/bpatel515) is an amazing human with insights that anyone can benefit from. We talk about his life, his journey, and web3 all in this fantastic episode!

The story of Ed and Craig is a tale as old as time. They met in the Discord channels of PROOF, became friends over common interests and experiences in life, and decided to regularly chat (sometimes recorded) and message one another throughout the days and weeks on all topics, from parenting to flipping JPGs and everything in between. This episode is the first in what will likely become a series, where we have a main topic, in this case AI Art, and then just bob and weave accordingly, having fun along the way.
AI technology is incredibly interesting and Ed's artistry with it has been astoundingly beautiful. This episode touches on a lot of subjects beyond AI art, but you'll hear us nerd out on the possibilities, so enjoy!

LOVED this episode. Ed! Mark! Me!
Trio of friends just hangin' out, talking life, Ethereum, NFTs, Discord, AI Art, and much more.

Welcome to another episode of Odds and Ends, a Proof of Update podcast. This podcast is supported by the awesomeness of individuals in the communities we love, such as EightBit, Oddities, Dead Birds Society, Proof, and more! Today, you’ll get to know Justin Mezzell (https://twitter.com/JustinMezzell), the Co-founder and Chief Product Officer at Proof, co-founder and lead artist for the Grim Syndicate on Solana, and simply an all-around nice person, attentive father, loving husband, and friend to the show. He opens up to Ed and Craig in ways you may only previously have seen within the token-gated Proof Discord, so we know you’ll enjoy this deep dive into the person that brought life to Moonbirds, one of the most popular NFT pfp projects in web3. Now, without further ado, say “hi” to Justin...
Big thank you to Justin for joining us on the podcast. It was incredible to get to know the person behind the bird or oddity picture on Twitter and Discord. While we’d seen him via Future Proof and other company-focused communication, this conversation was more about the man himself, rather than the fun things he’s built. We enjoyed learning about Justin and if you did too, please subscribe to the podcast and share it with a friend. Of course, if you’re able to leave a review, that’s even better! We hope that Ed and Craig will see you LIVE on either a Twitter Spaces or within the Oddities (https://discord.gg/proof) or EightBit (https://discord.gg/eightbit) Discord! Have a great week!
