In this Monday episode, Steve Bennett, who says he was ‘born in a tray of a developer’ in his Dad’s darkroom joins us to talk about collecting NFTs from artists and creating his own photography. Steve considers himself a lens-based artist and says his photography falls into two camps: the seen world and the re-imagined world. Early on in his NFT journey, Steve received advice from an early innovator in the photo NFT space, Andrew Mease, that would likely play into the fact that Steve is now ranked as the third-highest collector on Sloika. That advice? “You gotta collect!” Our chat covers lots of ground, including an appearance on Oprah to talk about a book he wrote on parenting. We chat about “Nature’s Layer Cake,” the edition Steve just launched on Sloika, the creator’s satisfaction triangle, and the pleasure of paying it forward. Recorded on December 5, 2022.

Our speakers: Steve Bennett, Dave Yoder, Andrea Pritchard, Andrew Mease, and host Pam Voth
