In this interview, the hosts speak with the team behind Rug Radio, a leading Web3 platform.

They discuss the future of NFTs and the challenges of building a decentralized media platform, including the need for a solid technical infrastructure and a strong community. They also talk about the economics of Rug Radio and how it compares to the talent agency side of the business, as well as the exciting events and big brand partnerships coming up. Farokh shares his desire to impact a billion people and make a billion dollars, and the hosts stress the importance of staying focused on building a successful company rather than getting caught up in drama.

He then discusses his idea for Arcade.io, a platform allowing users to buy and play games using unique NFTs as 'keys.' Each NFT holds the top 10 high scores for that particular game, creating an interesting constraint for gameplay. Ed discusses how he strives to make NFTs more appealing and accessible to new users, but acknowledges the reluctance of most gamers to embrace NFTs.

51:57||Season 1, Ep. 20Memepotz joins to discuss their project, which aims to bring Web3 closer to real world operations. He provides an example of a cannabis farm, where each cannabis plant is represented by an NFT. The project plans to integrate a proof of growth feature, where token holders have access to a 24/7 live stream of CCTV footage from the farm. This allows holders to monitor the growth of their plant and witness the proof of growth in real time. However, it is important to note that the project will not be involved in the shipping or distribution of the harvested cannabis, as this would raise regulatory issues. Instead, the project plans to provide unique rewards to the holders based on the harvest, without introducing a new token. The reward system will include a planned staking mechanism.19.
