Episode 25: Show Notes.
Today we're joined by CC, also known as Creator Collection. In his own words, he's here to “build community, relationships, projects, armed with an entrepreneurial mindset.” In this episode, we talk to CC about his innovative hybrid project entitled “Personalities”, which takes the rare traits that are present in generative projects and combines that with the beauty and excitement of one-of-one artwork. The project includes the contributions of over 30 artists. In this episode, CC shares how something like this comes together, the path to finding collectors who mirror the philosophy and ethos of the project, and a bit about how the formulaic pricing contributes to uplifting artists and the space in the long run. A fan of the entrepreneurial long-game, you'll learn the ways CC envisions this work and his role in the NFT space through the lens of patience and expansion over time, as well as the unanimously positive responses that reveal an exciting new layer to the future of our digital community. The conversation also touches on the importance of mental health breaks to prevent burnout, some of the harsh realities of being the founder of a startup, and some sage advice for new artists entering the space on how to divide their time! Tune in now to hear about this incredible project and what to expect next!
