Jacob Wittman, General Counsel at Pixel Vault, was the first C-suite hire by GFunk. His expertise in regulatory dynamics, venture capital planning, and DAO structures - gained while working at Fenwick & West, a leading Silicon Valley law firm - provides unmatched competency from an in-house resource.   The group discusses DAOs broadly and the Founder's DAO and UPDAO specifically. Jacob provides his thinking on PV's relationship with the DAOs, the benefits of legal wrapped entities, and the potential for distinct personalities within the United Planets.  It's a fun, free flowing conversation.

Riley, the creative force behind Pinballer Comic, joins Mike and Brad to talk about the physical claim process for Punks Comic #1, $POW distribution confusion, and briefly touch on Mint Pass #2. The group then jumps into Riley's upcoming comic book release, a MetaHero derivative project featuring two MetaHeroes owned by him. We talk about his creative process, the world of Pinballer, and whether serial #1 of his comic will be donated to the PV Founder's DAO (spoiler: yes!). Prior to launching the MetaVault podcast in early January, we reached out Riley to ask if we could use some of Pinballer's early concept drawings as the background for the podcast album cover. He said yes! And we feel like we've been linked ever since. Very excited to mint on March 6, 2022!   Thoughts? Suggestions? Email us!
