b'First aired 7/2022\\n\\nCheck out part 2 of my exclusive Veecon coverage from Minneapolis this past May 2022. \\n\\nNo one background, industry, or way of life can describe the community that makes up VeeFriends\\u2026 BESIDES maybe that everyone is a character, as you\\u2019ll come to see in this part two of my time documenting Veecon. From daredevils like Simon \\u201cWild Wallaby\\u201d who sold a good portion of his belongings to get into the VeeFriends NFT game, to established industry veterans like Tom Bilyu of Impact Theory, who was on his way to speak about at a panel with Steve Aoki (no big deal) about their upcoming NFT collaboration. I got the pleasure of covering a WIDE range of different VeeFriends from different backgrounds.\\n\\nI also got the pleasure of reconnecting with POZcast Alumni like Matt Higgins, and another pretty cool guy named Gary that was pretty popular at this event for some reason\\u2026\\n\\nThere\\u2019s even more packed into this episode than I can fit in a quick description, so be sure to check this one out to cure your Veecon fomo!\\n\\nThis special Veecon coverage episode of the pozcast is brought to you by our friends at OneOF.
