Cartoonist

Nathan T. Wright is an artist. He has origins in the early days of social media, made impact inside corporate marketing, and now illustates remarkable art with drawings, cartoons, murals, and more. Ben and Nathan jam on The Adventures of Fatberg, the early (fun) days of social media, the speeds in-house at a large company, leading a creative process with clients, real skills for studying the arts, and understanding the business of being a full-time artist.

After the break that features a reading of Aphorism, Nathan and Ben dive back in by talking graphic recording at live events, the positive tension of smart cartoons, and extending value by reformatting great content into books. EP90 of YDNTP is an absolute bop – share with a friend!

EXTRA SHOT

Nathan T. Wright is the friend who illustrated the mug that has become part of a brand that is Ben McDougal.

What started as the caffeinated, community-driven cover art for You Don’t Need This Book, now extends through the Roasted Reflections NFT Collection, imprinted phygital clothing, the front of tiny ideabooks, temporary tattoos, a huge neon sign, and of course, the artwork for this timeless podcast! Cheers to this episode and another shared relic that keeps the fun brewing!

Audacious

scottrepreneur is a nerd you need to know.

How does blockchain layering work? What can composability provide? What’s the value of money being mechanized? Can you translate the difference between centralized, protocol, and blockchain networks? Maybe you’re exploring ways to add digital depth to existing products?

So many questions, here are some answers!

After the 10 Commandments of UX are echoed in the break, we talk about how blockchain can support state management and sourcing truth alongside the power of AI. We brew on getting rugged by Big Tech, tokenomics to incentivize contribution, the lasting value of NFTs, user ownership in social media, Hats Protocol, web3 accelerators, Bitcoin halving, burning digital assets, and zero knowledge proofs. Try to keep up, share with a developer, and stay wild with tons of related episodes below. Let’s keep learning and building… together!
