NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) represent a significant shift in the way creators and fans connect and monetize their work, beyond just the value of the art itself. Gary Vaynerchuk, in this conversation, compares the current NFT boom to the early days of the internet, emphasizing that it's more than just the financial aspect.

This new approach allows artists to keep a larger share of the revenue and empowers fans to invest in their favorite artists as they would with stocks or startups. NFTs also enable collaboration and community building, with the potential for early fans to financially benefit from an artist's success. The speaker emphasizes that the shift towards Web 3 and the decentralized economy will uplift artists and their most devoted fans, creating a more equitable and engaging music ecosystem.

It's essential to keep an open mind and be willing to explore new sounds, even if it means bringing in new team members to help facilitate the process.
