In this episode, we speak candidly with Michael Olivieri, better known by his twitter handle, “NFT CEO.” Michael is very active in the NFT community, both as a supportive collector of many NFT artists and projects, and as an educator and, somewhat of a motivational speaker, in the NFT space. He also has an extensive background in entrepreneurship and social media marketing, and regularly shares his business expertise with the NFT community on platforms such as Twitter spaces. With an intoxicating growth mindset and a strong following on social media, the CEO shares a ton of value in this episode from the view of an NFT collector. We also discuss his past successes, the lessons he’s learned, and how it’s all led up to his next upcoming project, which we go into during our conversation. 👉 Full show notes for this episode are available on the website 👈 (show notes become available 12 hours after an episode drops) 👉 Add NFT Droplets to your podcast app of choice 👈 Check out the NFT Droplets newsletter at nftdroplets.xyz, and be sure to subscribe to be among the first to know about new articles & episodes, updates, announcements, and giveaways!
