My guest on this episode is FrankieDTankie, a digital art collector in the Web 3 community. Frankie is a well known patron and collector with an impressive gallery of photography, digital art, and collectibles. We spent time talking about his background in the technology world working in a variety of positions, from Fortune 500 companies to startups.  This is a bit of a departure from our usual type of guest as Frankie isn't a photographer, but as someone intimately involved in the burgeoning digital art world, his perspective is super interesting. He also happens to own a few pieces of my art!  https://twitter.com/frankiedtankie https://oncyber.io/frankiestank
