NFTs & The Oceaverse - Ian Takahashi
In episode #49 host Brett Stanley chats with underwater cinematographer and co-founder of The Oceaverse, Ian Takahashi.
NFT’s have become a big industry over the last couple of years and they can be confusing for those that haven’t spent time looking in to them - so we chatted with Ian about what they are and how creatives can use them not only as a source of income, but also a way of raising money to go towards ocean conservation projects - which is where the Oceaverse comes in.
As a platform for promoting and selling NFTs, the Oceaverse not only showcases some of the best underwater creative artists, but they are reinvesting portions of the profits back in to conservation.
We talk about how Oceavers is doing that, ways that crypt currency can actually help the environment, and the future of crypto mining.

Customer Reviews
I love photography!
With a photographer as a father, I’ve always enjoyed this medium of art. Underwater photography is fascinating to me because I remember when cameras only used film. I’ve learned about so many photographers and models through this podcast.
Thank you Brett!
I just needed to give you a shout out to say, Thank you for creating this podcast to inspire fellow underwater photographers and models! I’ve been shooting underwater portraits myself for 8 years and am excited to hear everyone’s stories. I can relate on so many levels and feel a little lonely as an underwater photographer here in Philadelphia, PA, since I’m the only one here shooting underwater, (as far as I know). I look forward to connecting with you and others on Facebook. I’m also a big fan of yours Brett! You Rock and keep up the awesome work! -Julia Lehman
