Each season gmoney fearlessly launches into fascinating topics from his respected position as a futurist in the metaverse. This exciting episode will delve into the influence of Sir Anthony’s recent film Zero Contact, how his legacy is being redefined in Web3, and his philosophical insight into the future of NFTs. There is a special moment where the actor shares his experiences leading to sobriety and gmoney shares how that same experience played a major role in his personal journey. Additionally the host deep dives into the formation of Orange Comet with co-founders Dave and Dante – not to forget a host of Hollywood icons. Together they discuss the inspiration behind The Eternal Collection and how it will act as an ambassador for entertainment’s brightest stars to find their path into the metaverse.

A true renaissance man, Sir Anthony has never shielded away from innovation. His debut involvement in the metaverse came in 2021 when he was inZero Contact, the world’s first NFT feature film that was produced in 17 different countries and entirely virtually during the height of the pandemic.

Sir Anthony will be donating a percentage of the proceeds to charity.
