Kwame Bruce Busia possibly better known – especially in design circles – as StudioYorktown does many, many things with a high level of skill including being a singer/songwriter, producer, designer, photographer and entrepreneur. One of those things is having a love and knowledge for blockchain tech, crypto currencies and yes the topic of the day NFTs. I was getting pretty tired of everyone talking about NFT's but using a string of acronyms to describe another acronym, always skirting the topic of what the hell they actually are and how you make them and why anyone should care. Bruce does an incredibly articulate job of breaking down the why, what, how, pros and cons and future of this tech and what it means for anyone in or pursuing a creative career. We even unpack some of the deep creative wisdom in Japanese culture and specifically talk through some poignant creative moments in the film Jiro Dreams of Sushi.

Quotes
"I'm always trying to see how concepts are similar rather than how they are different."
"[NFT technology] is very exciting for particularly creatives because it finally gives a chance to distribute work and set the terms by which you can be compensated for it."
"We are in an era now that we are literally transacting ideas and concepts."
"Once you have a sense of purpose, something that drives you, it becomes this reinforcing loop that keeps you doing it, its like a permanent source of joy and magic."
"It's nothing and it's everything, you don't have to put that much attention to detail in it, but you do and it means something because you do it."
"The goal is not the goal, the goal is the process."
