Thank you to my brother, Rob Gelb for the introduction to our guest today, Nigel Eccles, Co-Founder of Vault. Vault is introducing Digital Music Collectibles as a new format for collecting exclusive, authenticated, limited-run collectibles from your favorite artists. This episode brought me back, I worked in music for the first few years in my career and am an avid music listener. Previously, Nigel co-founded and was the CEO of FanDuel and is the #1 sportsbook in the US, a leading daily fantasy sports platform. We discuss why he left FanDuel and got into crypto, how artists are currently monetizing their music and the void that Vault fills, the type of artist they are looking to attract and how he thinks about fandom in the digital age.
