#107 - Justin Aversano - Where Art Meets Web3

My guest on today’s podcast is Raoul Pal, Co-Founder and CEO of Real Vision Group. 
Recently, Raoul came on to the InPeak platform with Carly Reilly for one of her token-gated sessions available to OPJ holders. 

Now that Real Vision is also using InPeak for their token-gated content, I got the chance to speak with Raoul himself.
 
We covered two big topics, Web3 adoption of large banks and corporations and the future of tokenised communities, social media, and tokenised education.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
