Summary

Avery and Sam sit down with streetwear legend and Web3 entrepreneur Bobby Hundreds on the eve of the release of his new book, "NFTS ARE A SCAM." Bobby discusses his thoughts on how brands should build Web3 projects, his approach to culture and community and how AIR may be the most Web3 movie ever made. This episode is sponsored by Chainalysis.com. For the last 20 years, Bobby and Ben Hundreds of The Hundreds have successfully built a global brand through their forward-looking approach to community and creative collaboration. In 2021, they released the Adam Bomb Squad NFT project to tremendous success, and they are credited with being a blueprint for many mainstream brands' entry into the Web3 ecosystem. Bobby Hundreds discusses his approach to culture and crypto with Avery and Sam and talks about his new book, "NFTS ARE A SCAM/THE FUTURE," which is one part journey and one part guide on how brands should look at the emerging technology behind NFTs and Web3.
