Quarter Four Podcast with Michael Elkins

Comic books and pop culture are big business, and this episode's guest is one of the biggest players in the industry. If you think comic books are just for kids, you're mistaken. Vintage books routinely retail for hundreds of thousands of dollars and some books are in the millions. On any given day there are numerous auctions taking place where millions of dollars are exchanged for vintage comics, pop culture art and vintage video games. The nerds have taken over and they're playing for keeps.
Known on Instagram as @nerdy_girl_comics, Danielle and I discuss how she values assets, how she outwits her competition, branding, her use of social media and for good measure, her thoughts on the end of Avengers: End Game.
Game 7 explores the psychology of what makes individuals great in business, sports and life.
