Andy took a chance 11 years ago by tweeting at Gary V and asking for an internship. Fast-forward and Andy now leads VeeFriends, Gary’s successful Web3 brand NFT, event pass and community. He comes on the pod to discuss the most recent VeeCon conference in Indianapolis that featured everyone from Busta Rhymes to Drew Barrymore and Deepak Chopra. Krainak shares how major brands got involved, which speakers excited the audience most and how the event and community will evolve in time.
