Building Community Through Intellectual Property and Values

What’s up, everyone! In this episode, I sit down with Forbes for one of the most complete convos I’ve had in a long time—seriously, we go all the way back to my childhood in Edison, New Jersey, and trace the path from shoveling snow to building VeeFriends. If you’re navigating your own entrepreneurial journey or trying to understand what’s actually happening in marketing right now, this one's for you.

We talk about how my obsession with consumer attention has shaped every move I've made—from launching Wine Library TV to writing Day Trading Attention, to building IP with trading cards and animated characters. I open up about why the education system didn’t work for me, how I’m thinking about AI and fake influencers, and why humility and empathy still dominate everything I do.

💥 Whether you’re a corporate exec clinging to outdated media buys or a hungry entrepreneur trying to break through—this is the wake-up call.
