hey hermano
good morning
good morning hermano I can hear you hey Hey, Hermana. Good morning.
Good morning, Hermano. I can hear you.
Hey. Happy Thursday. How you doing?
Happy Thursday. Very well. This is a lovely, unexpected surprise.
Very excited to speak with Gary V.
Yeah, me too. There he is. Without further ado, I'm going to bring him up.
Gary, happy Thursday. How are you doing?
I am doing incredibly well. How are you, my friend?
I'm doing well as well. I'm very glad I checked my email last night because I had somebody from your team reach out and say, yep, Gary can make it or whatever. And I was like, oh, shoot. Okay.
I wasn't sure. So I'm literally then like messaging people hitting up people on
whatsapp like all right let me create the space let me make sure i get everybody on so thank you
so much uh for coming out here even if it was just me and you and jennifer i'd be thrilled so
no problem how are you uh i'm doing really well very well gary um yeah you know just uh i gotta
say you know i've been very excited to see like how engaged the
community and be friends has been lately. Like this whole like tops Chrome thing has really like
sparked a lot of that like excitement and engagement that we had like back when like the
competing collect cards first came out, you know, so it's been kind of cool to, you know, just see
people like excited about what they're opening and yeah, just kind of get like kind of tapped into this as well so i'm doing really well gary how are you very similar brother
you can imagine how exciting this is for me you know the the vision for you know i just got out
of a meeting with a courtyard i think a lot of you should check out courtyard really cool platform
it's blending trading cards and Web3 as well.
And I just literally four minutes ago in a meeting said, you know, there is no such thing as crypto native people.
Everybody in the world is going to be crypto native.
Because in 1997, people would say to me, Gary, you can't build Wine Library.
You need internet people.
You need internet centric people. You need internet people.
You need internet-centric people.
You need internet native people.
And I would say to people, what the fuck are you talking about?
Everybody is going to be internet native.
Everybody in the world is going to be blockchain native because the blockchain is one of the most profound technologies of all time.
One of the things on the blockchain will be NFTs. One of the things
that you can do with NFTs is create a collectible because you can actually own it and you can't do
that on the internet, right? Because it's on the blockchain. In that, there will be 1% of 1%
that are collectibles. 1% of 1% of art. 1% of 1% of watches, 1% of 1% of trading cards, comic books, toys, video games are deeply collectible.
I am convinced that if God willing, I stay healthy, VFriends, Series 1 NFTs will be one of the most significantly collected collectibles on the blockchain.
And I believe the comic books and the trading cards that I'm using right now
are driving that collectability.
Literally last night, my friend, John Carlock, last night.
At like one in the morning, right before I went to sleep because I can't sleep
because I was live until midnight and then, you know, had to get off the high.
A guy emailed me.
This is insane what I'm about to say.
A gentleman emailed me last night who was a fan of my content years ago, lost touch with me as the brand, right?
Like, it was like I was a Gary Vee fan back in 2012.
I have your email.
He actually replied to an email of him and I talking in 2012 where he was like, hey, I love your book.
I said, thank you.
It was a very quick, you know, back in the day how I used to reply to every email.
He goes, I needed to find this email.
He goes, literally yesterday, my son dragged me to a GameStop to buy a box of your cards.
We got home.
We got home.
We opened the box.
He loved it.
I think he said it's a 14 or 15.
He, um, uh, I got, they got, they got a nice card, like something good. They're not on Twitter.
They're not on spaces. They're not on discord. And he goes, he goes, I didn't know what it was.
So I started to Google it. And long story short, it ends with, ends with hey like is there a good link to learn how to
buy an nft wow that's huge bro it's bigger it's bigger than you yeah everybody people don't get
it the world and v friends and every nft project needs to understand it's about and not or. When I started doing the
trading cards, and don't forget, I launched the trading cards with Series 2 together.
In essence, Series 2 was buying a box of cards and an NFT. And at the time, because NFTs were
red hot, I don't think people really paid attention to the added value utility of the
trading card box. But I think today, the day
after the launch, I think people are starting to see a glimpse into how I've been thinking about
this IP. There's cartoons for a reason. There's apparel and stickers and magnets, and we do events,
the National Comic Con, and its community. But what i'm most excited about truthfully is that if i do
everything right for the next decade what does that mean to series one and series two nfts i
think it means a lot and for people listening series two nfts is a very attractive entry point
cost-wise series one's obviously expensive um but if you don't own a series two nft i'd like you to
consider it because i uh plan on making it a very significant collectible obviously don't own a Series 2 NFT, I'd like you to consider it because I plan on making it a very significant collectible.
Obviously, don't spend money that you can't afford.
Nobody should be buying collectibles if they're struggling to pay rent.
Obviously, don't buy in speculation.
I'm not guaranteeing anything or anything like that.
But this is what I'm doing.
I'm building an intellectual property.
I'm trying to build.
I've been very clear for four years.
I'm trying to build Disney.
I'm trying to build Pokemon.
I'm trying to build these things.
And I'm going to give it a good swing. And I'm feeling excited. And yesterday was one of the great days, along with the first day of VCon one, along with the mint days,
along with the Christie's auction, like, you know, along with other things. Yesterday was a top,
top day in VFriends history. I'm glad I got to share it with so many of you. And I'm excited
that it's going to introduce a lot of you on the call to VFriends.
And I'm excited that it's going to reignite a lot of people here to VFriends.
I've watched people who used to have a VFriends PFP change that PFP for the last 18 months
because they didn't think we were about that life.
And it's been really rewarding to watch them switch back to a VFriends PFP.
And I view that as flattering.
I wasn't mad at them for changing.
They didn't feel associated that we were building enough
or whatever was on their mind.
But I'd be lying if I didn't say that I'm proud
that it's starting to build momentum.
But there's a long way to go, a lot to do.
And that's kind of what's up, brother.
Yeah, that's awesome, man.
That's awesome.
And I'm so glad to hear that.
I definitely echo a lot of what you said.
I do think that, you know, like that comment about people, you know, being NFT people, I think like
everyone will eventually become more and more blockchain native. And I guess every, every,
everyone is an NFT person right now. They don't realize that every single company is building
technology on top of the blockchain. The blockchain is better than the internet for certain things.
on top of the blockchain. The blockchain is better than the internet for certain things.
Most of all, validation and ownership, right? What the internet did for communication,
right? This is very important. What the internet did for communication,
the blockchain does for ownership. And one of the things in real life ownership is
owning a collectible. Other things are having a deed or a marriage license or other things.
So I'm excited for all this to, you know, as we get more clarity on what we can and can't do from governments around the world.
And as this becomes easier, people can buy NFTs now with a credit card in a way that was much harder four years ago.
So a lot going on.
Really excited about it.
But most of all, to be frank, if I may,
the thing I'm quietly most excited about
is the comic books, to be honest with you.
I see I.J. Robin here and others.
The Fearless Ferry comic book number two
is a big deal.
It's comic book number two in V-Friends Land
that we sell direct on live shopping.
It's the origin story of the Fearless Ferry.
And there's no reason to collect these characters
until you know who they are and care about them.
Nobody collects Spider-Man or Batman or Daredevil
or Punisher or Shrek or Mickey Mouse
out of just thin air.
You have to get people to fall in love with them.
And, you know, I'm proud of the cards.
I don't know if you've seen the trading cards yet,
but, like, there's a nice little bio on the back.
People have been associating with that.
I've been watching Breakers Open and Read the Backs.
That's getting people a little excited.
But that's a pimple on the ass compared to a full comic
that tells you who this character is, what they are.
So just really exciting times in our ecosystem.
I'm proud of it.
I hope it motivates other projects.
And I'm looking forward to continuing to build.
Very cool, Gary.
I have not gotten my box yet,
so I'm very excited to get that.
I actually did a lot of,
back when we got Compete and Collect with my two kids.
My two kids were very into VFriends.
We got the stuffed animals, all that.
We did a few really great box break videos with them.
I remember.
Oh, you've seen them.
Have you seen them?
I've seen them.
I love that.
I love that.
But yeah, my daughter has got quite the personality for just camera.
Yeah, she's got it.
She has something. She's got it. She has something, you know, she's got like this spice to her, you know,
but I'm very excited to like get the cards so I can start doing some new
box breaks with them again.
So very excited for that.
And I didn't know that there was actually like information about the characters
on the back of the cards as well.
So that is really cool to know.
So it's going to really help people to also get more better introduced
to the characters. I guess that's the other kind of benefit of this whole card. one of the most collectible products in the world it's a digital collectible um but all roads all
roads lead to that and um and so again i get really excited because when when someone falls
in love with spider-man today she's she or he is seven years old they fell in love with spider-man
today literally i'm not kidding they went to school today somebody has a spider-man uh action figure that they just thought was cool literally that person 30 years
later who potentially becomes very financially successful and i mean very goes to an auction
and buys an amazing stories 15 first appearance,
Spider-Man for $40,000.
I understand that because that's been my life for 40 years.
That is how I'm building V friends.
And in our world,
that is series one NFT.
and even, and even further
because sometimes people ask me
even further than that
that really becomes
series one NFT
spec one of one
right because if you fall
in love with the compassionate catfish
there's the core one
but there's 20 of those
but the gold one is a there's 20 of those.
But the gold one is a one of one. And so just understanding collectability, how it works,
how to get people to fall in love with characters. What does it mean? So just kind of working hard,
working hard out here, brother. I'm sorry, I got one minute left for my next thing. Do you want to sneak a question in that you were thinking about? Yeah, I mean, I had a few things, but
let me throw a couple quick ones at you right now.
First and foremost, any hints you can share with us about next VCon or any kind of VFriends get-together?
I know a lot of us are missing it this year.
That's a great question.
I don't want to create speculation, something I learned that I made mistakes of in the past.
So here's what I would say.
What I can tell you is three weeks ago,
we had a four hour meeting on the next VCon. So what I said at the last VCon
was that was not the last VCon. Obviously, I didn't promise it in 2025.
So, you know, I don't what I don't want to allude to is promising it for 2026 here.
But we are working feverishly on it. And so I'm excited about that.
Number two, in the same energy, is why we're pushing the National Sports Card Convention
this year so much. We are thinking, and the TCG tournaments, there is an understanding that we
need more watershed events where we can all get together. Maybe not at the size and scale as B-Con,
but that's on my mind. So heard, and I'm thinking about it.
Awesome. Jenny, you want to ask go ahead yeah before he leaves i just have one question uh which is why is creating something
fun an essential part of creating something that's successful whether it's a memorable product or a
project you know that's a great question jay fun Fun is one of the ways. Like, you know, a successful project or product, you know, I would argue that a toaster is not fun. But it's a utility that works.
restaurant downtown Manhattan is one of the most successful restaurants in the world because it's
one of the things that does is bring fun right um you know amusement park there's a good one
I would argue there's a lot of fun there so you know I think it's one of the elements it's
definitely one of the elements that I like to trade on this is surely fun but I will tell you
when I look at this screen and look at Peg and
Green Dog and Ginger and Mosher and Shane and Teeger and Ben Fuller and Dalton, fun is
one of the things, but depth of relationship and community is a whole nother level that
I definitely believe in.
And so we're trying to win on a lot of fronts, you know?
Awesome. Gary, uh, I know you got a lot of things planned for tomorrow, busy schedule,
and there's like a special event, 7.00 PM. Any quick perks of like going to one of these things
for people that are in the Northeast, particularly at 7.00 PM? The 7.00 PM one, which I'm actually
thinking is going to be too hard for people to guess on short term.
So I'm thinking about actually leaking what I'm actually doing either today or tomorrow.
The 7 p.m. one, the reason to go is there's going to be free packs of cards.
But the way this market's going, that's just a good idea.
That's just money right there.
And honestly, that's going to be secondary.
There's going to be a lot of good people there in the community and then community fun.
And then a free pack's a good idea.
How long is that going to go on for too?
Because I will.
Two to three, probably two to three hours.
Two to three hours.
So if you can't get there by seven, if you can make it by eight, eight 30, you're still.
I'll say it this way.
I won't leave.
I won't leave before nine 30.
Cause I think to your point, I should be fair on that.
And I'll update that shortly.
I got to run. I apologize. See ya. All right right thank you so much gary bye gary thank you all right i know a lot of people requested and uh unfortunately he only had a little bit of time
so couldn't uh couldn't go to the other questions from people but i appreciate everybody that uh
that tuned in i'm glad to stay on a little bit longer to say hi to some of the people on the stage. I know I got, hey Rachel, how you doing?
Jan, I'm proud of you, man. It was a banger space. Oh my god, Jan. Jan, seriously, such a big
achievement. I really loved it, even though it was like limited words from Gary. It was so cool.
I learned so much from him, such a motivational guy.
Yeah, for sure.
And I think, I mean, I think what he mentioned there too,
about like everyone becoming blockchain native, you know, and how like,
I mean, I think like some of that stuff is, is, is so key,
especially for a lot of us that are like in this space and all that.
Go ahead, Jenny, I see your hands up.
Oh no, no, I was just going, please finish your point,
but I was also going to add something to that. So, yeah.
Yeah. No, that, yeah. And I, and I think that like,
it just says a lot about like a lot of us that are like grinding,
like doing things, you know, in, in the space that like, again,
we're still very early and, and, and the time's going to come when again,
this is going to become more and more native to everybody. Right.
So I think, you know, a lot of the points he was hitting on are so good.
Yeah, no, I was just going to add that I feel like that's what a lot of us are experiencing.
Like we're seeing shifts, like, for example, NFT Now no longer calls themselves NFT Now, they call themselves now media.
And Gary did mention that like you could
go on platforms now and purchase things with with debit and credit cards and for sure i think we are
going towards a direction where it is more mainstream but it's very subtly mainstream right
so it's not like an overt sort of like it's an nft it's just sort of like blended and built into the
situation which just is a credit to the work that
has been put in the space by so many individuals, including him. And I do love his point about
the significance of community, of like consistency of work, but also of being able to introduce like
fun into the mix because it makes memorable. so i'm excited i honestly haven't taken
a look at the tops uh chrome launch but just off of like looking quickly at uh the design that says
sketch i find that really nice um and uh just from an artistic design point of view uh really intrigued
by this uh series so yeah one one um one cool thing that they did with it too, is so there's like the standard design cards,
But then there's a lot of these like special inserts.
So they have a few that,
for example,
some that are like in manga style,
some that are in like the iconics,
which was done by a specific artist,
Gilang Boggy,
who that's actually probably my favorite,
like from an artistic perspective.
They have like,
so they have a whole set of like cards of the characters in that style.
There's the sketch one you mentioned.
There's one that's like game on,
which kind of looks a little bit like inside of like a Game Boy,
more pixelated look,
so it did a lot of cool things,
to make it really interesting and,
and exciting,
so that you don't just get like the standard cards and the different
but there's also like these kind of like cool artistic touches that they added in there as well.
So it's a really nice thing.
Teacher, I see you got your hand up.
Hey, Katie, how you doing?
Thank you so much for having me up.
I wanted to hop up and say hi, Jen and Jen.
I was so excited to hear that you had Gary on.
That was great that he was able to speak to you.
But Topps Chrome has been so fun. Yesterday was like a whirlwind and I can't wait for you to open your
boxes with your kids. I think that'll be really exciting. Oh my God. Yeah. I got, I'm going to do
like round two. I was very surprised also to hear like, you had seen the videos of mine with my kids
from like a few years ago. So that was kind of like really cool. But, but yeah, I'm excited to
do like some, some box breaks breaks again because we went through like
all of our boxes and then it was like all right it's over we i don't have any more cards you know
but i think now like with uh with these new boxes and cards coming in it'll be uh it'll be exciting
and they still have some of their like you know stuffed animals of the characters you know so
it'll be kind of cool if like we get something like oh my peacock this and that you know so
i'm really uh stoked for that because
it's like that's like a lot that adds a lot of the fun to it you know it's like getting that that
right it's so cool sure and just a special a special thing for the inserts some of the sketch
cards were done by our own community members um and bags in the audience teacher and ij rob did
a card tim livingston did a card they think there were nine people who were chosen so those are also fun chases um for people oh that is cool i did
not know that yeah that that sold me right there that is fire the art from the other like sketch
inserts it's it's amazing it's really fun to see what people chose to do on their cards so just a little a little add add-in to your art um you know conversation very cool very cool well thanks for popping in
teacher yeah this was like so last minute because gary had messaged me a while back or like his team
did right saying like hey um tentatively for like this date you know but then i i didn't hear back
and i had sent a few follow-up emails i literally got an email like last night. They're like, hey, so Gary's got like 15 minutes

But Peg threw it in our little group chat.
And so shout out to her as well.
But I saw we were following each other.
And so I just wanted to say hey and look forward to getting to connect with you guys more.
And yeah, good luck with everyone on the Chrome stuff. It's been fun.
I just ripped my first couple of boxes last night and it's just been awesome.
You know, the same type of vibes from like VCon one when the NFT collection released.
And so, you know, as holders, we're all expecting like more and more.
And what's next? And yeah, this has been a big thing that we're all expecting like more and more and what's next and
yeah this has been a big thing that we've all been waiting for and so it's really cool to see
everyone getting the hits and sharing their stories and it's just been a lot of fun so shout
out to you guys but yeah that's so cool man thanks thanks means thanks for jumping in coming up on
stage uh yeah before i used to have uh so i have the uh the lava capable caterpillar that's like
one of my favorite character and um we probably were following each other from like back then but then i was like all
right i gotta like for my personal branding and when i go to events so people recognize who i am
let me put my like my picture as my pft but uh but happy to kind of be reconnected and i'm glad
to hear you got your box any any like pulls you got from the ones you opened?
Yeah, so I got a Diamond Hands Hen. It was out of $199, like the Wave. But yeah, I'm really looking for some sketches. I got a gold or like a yellow refractor black cat as well. So those
are kind of my favorites. But yeah, it's fine very cool very cool thanks for thanks for hopping on
uh i was trying to see who else i had on the list here keep track uh i think i wrote down
mosher hey mosher how's it going what's up man when you pulled me up i was like damn it carlo
i didn't want to speak to you i wanted to speak to gary i'm sure everybody did too but like he had
such limited time you know and like and then like he's
also like you know i had some questions but then he's like sharing such good information i'm like
all right let me let him keep going i'm only joking mate i'm only joking i love the fact you're still
doing those creative avenues when it comes to spotlighting artists man i remember you were doing
them like 18 months ago and like i think i came up and i was just talking about how great it is
to really spotlight the creative avenues of people because the crossover on like twitter or x whatever you want to call it is like everyone's
driven towards economy and monopolizing on commerce right so i'm like fucking keep going mate
um yeah i got a bunch of these boxes where is my co-host he's down there in the audience
john if you want to know who got a great deal on boxes jonathan my co-host right got the fucking
steal of the century because i gave him my boxes right like the best ever like deal ever but he's the greatest guy ever so i fucking love him so he
definitely deserves it but the other thing is is he's not going to sell them i don't think and i'm
like and like that's the thing i'm one thing i'm realizing and understanding is like the um the
psychology behind the collector is like let's just collect right which is like a really polite
posh word for hoard so I'm still understanding trading cards collectibles and merchandise but
it's a really nice journey to be honest with you I'm like you know engaging with like social media
like social media pages and just like it's it's really quite nice because I think the other thing
is you know with like collectibles you can hold them in your hand you know they're like tangible
whereas like a digital like digital artifacts you're like you know you just're like collectibles. You can hold them in your hand, you know, they're like tangible, whereas like a DJ, like digital artifacts,
you're like,
you just look at them on a screen and you still ask the question,
it's just a bit of a JPEG type of thing.
the only other question I was going to ask,
which I don't think anyone's going to know on this stage,
because I'm literally the only one that's from across the pond is what the,
what the allocation was for like people across the world yeah yeah and i did
have some questions i know some people had asked me from that are international about like if they
were going to improve some of the distribution for international and things like that uh but
i didn't quite get to that that question i mean has it already been i don't has it already been
announced i don't i haven't i haven't seen no i haven't seen it i haven't seen either yeah so
if anybody knows the answer to that feel free to like post it down below but beyond that
carlo just wishing you the best man you're fucking great thanks for being consistent and like thanks
for spotlighting create like creative avenues within the space and just like you know what i
mean man you know what i'm out if you need me all right i do i do well thanks mosher and yeah we're
already at 105 uh spotlight so it's actually been going for a little bit over two years. And for people who don't know, a lot of what Jennifer and I do is we have spaces where we like to interview one-on-one with people that are creatives that are like, you know, they're doing photography, it could be, you know, visual artists, it could be poets, you know, but anybody that's really, you know,
creating and trying to kind of like leverage blockchain and this whole space to get their
creative work out there. We like to really do like a deep dive on them, give an opportunity to
spotlight them, get to know more about their story, their inspiration, what they're doing.
And so it's really cool because there's a whole side of this you know a lot of people like join the space um you know chasing like you know the the crypto or the flips
and the the projects and all that but there's this whole other world in web3 as well right of like
there's all these amazing artists you know people that are creating like such good work out there
and um and so yeah there's this whole space that maybe a lot of people aren't aware of and,
and so many good artists, so much good art that, uh, people are creating.
And it's a, and it's a really cool thing, you know? Yeah.
Yeah. I think it's the most romantic aspect of Web3.
It really is because it doesn't, you know, there's just no incentive from,
well, I'm not saying it's completely free or redundant of like commercial
incentive, but like,
I miss the times when like people would just talk about fine art cause I've
got quite a large fine art collection of nfts and uh you know it's just really really
nice but um just remind me just finally mate when your shows and what time they're on so i can yeah
so usually they're usually fridays at 12 30 eastern time um but like kind of i try to get
be able to like hit you know so that we can kind of cover different time zones. So it's like, you know,
like late after, or, you know, maybe, you know, five, six o'clock for some
people in Europe, we could still catch some of the ones in Asia.
And then it's kind of like afternoon for folks in the U S but yeah,
so usually 1230 tomorrow's space.
We are having around like 2 PM Eastern time.
So it's a little bit later than usual, but yeah,
usually every friday around
that time and on my profile if you go on there i usually have like a post about the uh maybe i
gotta pin it up again about the uh with the whole schedule for the month i'll usually share like
right here's all the artists we're gonna feature and uh and i got like the spaces reminder so if
anybody wants to check it out you can go look for that. And then, and then yeah, set the reminders.
Jenny, go ahead. I see you got your hand up. Yeah, no, I just wanted to say, speaking of fine art,
unfortunately, I do have to drop off the call because I have two things to attend to. One is I have a one-on-one call with an absolutely fantastic fine artist in the space. He does
a lot of his work on ordinals. His name is Rez in Progress, and Rez recently suffered a stroke which left half of his body disabled. So I'm going to get
on a call. He's finally able to speak, to have a conversation, and I am so excited to reconnect
with him and see in what way we, you, myself, and others in the space can help him continue
to promote his art because he is a fantastic fine artist.
And then the other thing is, is that I am preparing diligently around the clock for
the Dear Mama Drop, which is going to be just absolutely a beautiful collection that honors
motherhood, the entire experience, joy to sadness.
And it is a fine art collection, which we'll be dropping tomorrow on Object. So I have to drop
off the call, but I see a lot of friendly faces in the audience and also in the speaker panel
and just wanted to say hi to them and bye to them. And thank you, Giancarlo, for just, you know,
I have said this before, I'm a public speaker now in part because Giancarlo invited me to be his co-host.
