Today on the show we're joined by Luca Netz, the new owner of Pudgy Penguins.
Luca walks us through his story of how he got here, from a less than ideal childhood, to a full blown NFT empire.
In addition to a massive new deal with Walmart, he also lays out the case for why he thinks the bright future for Pudgy Penguins has only just begun.
