Kudos, Questions, Comments? Send it here.For this week's Tech Intersect spotlight episode, I selected a popular "Ping the Prof" episode about intellectual property rights in the non-fungible token space. What rights an artist creates when she mints, what rights she transfers to an NFT marketplace, how to participate in secondary market sales, what to do if someone creates an unauthorized NFT of your creativity, for example. If you have a question, submit it at hello@techintersectpodcast.com and I will pick some to answer on a future Ping the Prof episode. Soon, I will be rolling out a regular Ping the Prof "Listen, Learn and Leverage" series on Patreon for deeper dives into your questions and concerns at the intersection of law, business and technology and the future of work, wealth and creativity.  Connect with me via social media or at AdvantageEvans.com to be the first to know when the series rolls out.SPONSORED BY ADVANTAGE EVANS™ ACADEMY With Bitcoin and Ethereum leading the way, the cryptocurrency market is booming.
