The First Mint Podcast The First Mint

If you want the juicy NFT bits, skip to the 1:15 mark, because we spend the first 75minutes getting updates on Phil's Celebrity Drama and his Hockey Coaching Antics (and Playoffs!)



Following that, we dive into TFM's role in the influencer ecosystem, wether we are TOO negative at times (or not enough), and how these NFT projects could possible hope to win Phil's affection and attention in the future. We then dovetail into business ideas for growing the NFT Sports market, which includes meetings fans where they are - and finish with quick hits on Pranksy, Sorare, Dapper Executives, F1 rumors, and a Hot Take of The Week for the ages.



Also, move fast because there is a POAP code in the first 10 minutes of this one!

This morning, accusations were published in THE BLOCK towards Roham, CEO of Dapper Labs, alleging that he is a "bully" in the workplace and lives a very lavish lifestyle (private jets, mansions, yachts, celebrities). 

Following the news, a handful of former Dapper employees took the opportunity to publicly dump on Roham via Twitter, adding fuel to an already burning and embarrassing fire.
