We wrap up this season with another amazing guest and welcome Elf J Trul, the creative mind behind the "Forgotten Runes Wizard's Cult" – a very unique and successful NFT project that has been gaining more and more fame over the past few months. Elf shares his own story and tells us about the fantastic journey he has been on. We talk about the fascinating idea of decentralized and community-driven world-building, which lies at the core of The Forgotten Runes. Also, about the crucial role of an unhindered flow of creativity and how important it is to stay true to your own vision no matter what everyone else might be doing.  Learn more about "The Forgotten Runes":Twitterhttps://twitter.com/forgottenrunes https://twitter.com/ElfJTrulWebsite: https://www.forgottenrunes.com/ We are looking forward to your feedback and your rating on Apple Podcasts.

If you have always wondered about why there are certain NFT projects that sell out almost instantly while others barely get noticed, this episode is for you. Our special guest and NFT marketing expert Arvin Khamseh is giving excellent advice and concrete strategies on how to stand out with your project. Arvin started out as a blogger and influencer and has worked his way up as a freelancer for public and even Fortune 500 companies. He has since specialized in marketing consulting for NFT projects and shares with us some of the most important aspects to consider when planning and promoting your drop: How many twitter followers do I need? How big does my collection have to be? How do I get people excited? For our publishers and authors out there, he has some special inspirations for creating an interesting and engaging NFT.Follow Arvin von Twitter:https://mobile.twitter.com/arvinknft We are looking forward to your feedback and your rating on Apple Podcasts.

We are very happy to welcome Anna Graf in this week’s episode. Anna is Director of NFT at the platform MISA.ART which has grown out of the renowned and Berlin based “König Galerie”. We learn about how that project has started and the vision she now pursues. We touch a whole lot of highly interesting topics such as the concept of fractionalized ownership or the controversial sustainability discourse which we get an interesting perspective on. Furthermore, we learn how artists are discovering NFT as a new form of expression for themselves, and about an inspiring project by Jonas Burgert who is using NFT art as a means of organizing and providing concrete humanitarian aid to war refugees from Ukraine.
