232: ZED.Run and NFT Horse-racing Mania w/ Roman Tirone

Roman Tirone joins the show to talk about how Virtual Human Studio's ZED.Run is pioneering the future of breathing NFT's in the form of horses that can be bought, sold, bred, and raced on the Ethereum blockchain. As Head of Partnerships for VHS, an NFT project studio exploring the boundaries of entertainment by experimenting in emerging tech in gaming, art, sport, and digital collectables, Roman spearheads the outreach and activation of sponsors looking to be early adopters in the crypto space.
