He is self-described as a 3D animator building the future. That is all true. But he is so much more. He's a visionary, an advocate, an activist and someone who always lifts as he climbs. Translation? He's a real one. And one of my favorite artists and humans in the creative NFT space and beyond. Learn more about NFT Art + copyright: NFTLawGuide.comSPONSORED BY ADVANTAGE EVANS™ ACADEMY Got goals?

Kudos, Questions, Comments? Send it here.In this episode of Tech Intersect, I welcome attorney Dave Rodman to the show. Dave founded the Rodman Law Group in 2014 in response to what he saw as a lack of sophisticated corporate/business law firms serving the cannabis industry because most dealt only on the criminal side and defense work. From that moment he found his own lane, in fact her created it. And he has been tirelessly advocating for his clients, pushing for more equitable and transparent industry regulations, and facilitating complex multinational transactions ever since.Dave's unique background in finance, securities, intellectual property, and corporate law has given him an incredibly diverse set of tools to deploy on behalf of his clients, tools that allow him to craft solutions to each client’s specific legal, business, and regulatory needs. And he definitely does not believe in a “one size fits all” approach to the law. He is one of the only lawyers in the world with active clients in both the cannabis and cryptocurrency/blockchain markets. And at the end of this episode, we touch on decentralized autonomous organizations, NFTs and securities. This legal eagle episode packs a punch and you’ll surely learn something new.

Kudos, Questions, Comments? Send it here.In this episode, I provide an overview of general Terms and Conditions of NFT minting and marketing platforms that you should expect, specifically related to intellectual property and royalties. Bottom line: Read the fine print! One of the benefits and features of minting is creating a record of creation and ownership that cannot be changed—immutable—so if you get it wrong in the beginning … well, it’s not like you can call customer service to roll it back. Contrary to some critics, this space is not a bubble. In fact, NFT coding standards like ERC-721 have been around since 2017 (and the idea of smart contracts dates back to 1997)! But the hype cycle and FOMO is real. Take your time, get informed. Take off your creative cap and put on your business hat during this episode to get clear, get focused and get in the game. ***SPONSORED BY ADVANTAGE EVANS™ ACADEMY***NEW!

Kudos, Questions, Comments? Send it here.In this episode of Tech Intersect, I do a third topic-specific episode because my inbox and DMs are overflowing and speaker requests are at an all-time high. And I’ve received so many questions about intellectual property and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and I’ve heard so much misinformation on social media, especially on Clubhouse, that I had to take a moment to share some IP basics to help creatives and collectors make sense of it all. And to help you steer clear of the noise. For example, a telltale sign that you’re about to get bad legal advice? It usually begins with “I’m not a (an IP) lawyer but …”. In this ep, I explain the different types of IP, take a closer look at copyright and fair use, and what rights creatives transfer and what buyers acquire in an NFT sale? Bottom line: let the NFT creator or investor be wise and BEWARE! Follow, like, comment and share. And let’s connect @IPProfEvans & #EvansontheBlock. ***SPONSORED BY ADVANTAGE EVANS™ ACADEMY***NEW!
