We talked with Roy about his journey, from playing poker professionally to teaching NFT-curious people when to hold'em! We ask what it was like to build ZenAcademy through the bull market and the bear, talking about the realities of founder burnout, and why he believes that many projects should concentrate on building communities, not necessarily companies. 

And of course we had to ask Roy for his takes on Nouns and CC0, a topic he has written about extensively. We hope you enjoy this conversation with a true legend of the space!

On Episode 13 of ZEROPOD, Toady Hawk sits down with skateboarding legend, philanthropist, and brand new Nouner Bob Burnquist!

Bob talks about his childhood growing up in Brazil under an oppressive regime that actually banned skateboarding in public, and how he made it from those humble beginnings to tearing up the X Games and pulling fakies with Tony in Tony Hawk Pro Skater. 

We also chat about his web 3 journey, and why he thinks blockchain is a huge unlock for funding public goods. Two days ago, Bob became an official member of Nouns DAO, and we talk here about what attracted him to our onchain community, and his excitement for future collaboration opportunities.

September 11/2023

On Episode 8 (how fitting) of ZEROPOD, Toady Hawk and Cardno host the one and only Jack Butcher, founder of Visualize Value and the man behind the Checks and Opepen art projects.

We learn about Jack’s childhood in the UK, how he ended up Stateside, and all about his journey as an artist and a creative. We then delve into the ethos behind Checks and Opepen, the importance of CC0 + permissionless protocols for solving “The Cold Start Problem” for artists, and much, much more.

We hope you enjoy this one as much as we did, and please LIKE, COMMENT and SUBSCRIBE if you do!

We also talk about the intersection of blockchain and licensing, and the important daily work of the Creative Commons Org.   But don’t worry, it’s not all serious— we also keep it pretty weird with “The Nounicles of Nounlandia” and not just one but, inexplicably, 5 separate mentions of fax machine technology.   As with all our content, this recording is CC0… So please, Copy This Content.   —   TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Teaser: I think Joshua is lying. 0:18 - ZEROPOD Intro 01:26 - The Nate Angell origin story 3:16 - Open Educational Resources vs. The Big Textbook Grift 5:30 - Joining the Commons 6:21 - The Fax Saga: Chapter 1 8:37 - The Creative Commons Licenses 9:41 - The Fax Saga: Chapter 2 11:56 - What is Creative Commons? 14:45 - Open Source licensing, but for content. 16:17 - Joshua The Reappearing Man 16:29 - Comic Book Collection Show and Tell 18:57 - Copyright Strikes This Podcast 20:44- The History of Copyright 23:00 - The Copyright Tradeoff 27:09 - The Mickey Mouse Rule 28:16 - What is CC0? 28:48- How does blockchain affect this dynamic 30:30 - Nate on the Nouns Experiment 31:03 - Welcome to Nounlandia 32:40 - Can a brand become ubiquitous faster with open licensing? 34:36 - Nouns: A Movie 37:57 - CC0 in the Context of Education and Science Research 42:20 - The Nonicles of Nounlandia 42:45 - Should works ever automatically go into the Public Domain? 44:32 - Striking the balance 46:17 - The difficulty for artists of making something popular 48:30 - CC0 is an Experiment Too 48:52 - CC0 is actually not a License 49:46 - Special Guest 50:19 - A Day in the Life of Creative Commons work 52:54 - A Day in the Life Part 2 53:59 - AI and Copyright 54:37 - Open Climate Campaign 55:50 - Josh’s Hot Take: No Such Thing as Big Brains 57:29 - The Fax Saga: Chapter 3 59:17 - Copyright as a protector of the gatekeepers 61:01 - Is Creative Commons looking at Smart Contracts? 63:50 - How can Creative Commons stay ahead of the curve? 65:01 - Sustainability and the Future of Creative Commons 68:25 - Nate on Nouns (Again) 69:07 - The Fax Saga: Chapter 4 70:40 - Crypto is like Camping 72:34 - What’s up with Opepen? 73:41 - The Fax Saga: Chapter 5 73:50 - Toady Explains Opepen 76:59 - Opepen and Nouns: The Power of CC0 + LoFi Art 79:14 - Outro   —   Podcast recorded and edited by Toady Hawk.
