On Jan 1st of this new year, Lord Truffington posted an emotional tweet expressing great gratitude to the NFT community at a time when he needed them the most. During the pandemic and the harsh lockdown in the UK, he felt more lost than ever feeling overwhelmingly lonely and depressed. In 9 months after discovering NFTs, he was back to being his cheerful self realizing that, while the profits were rewarding, it was the community of people and the strong relationships formed that breathed life back into to his self-confidence and his vision of the future. "They gave me hope again." We talked much more about NFTs, a variety of projects including PAK, and shared some tips for newcomers to the space. While some feel it is too late to get in to NFTs, it is actually very early in the grand scheme of things.

His roots run deep in Detroit and he recently purchased an entire city block representing his past and also representing his desire to help pave a better future for Detroit.
