Welcome to the Immutable Mindset podcast, your ultimate guide to the future of blockchain technology, crypto, and the next evolution of the internet. Blake Jamieson discovered a passion for programming during the senior year of his supply chain degree. He was drawn to programming because of the opportunity to use his problem-solving skills to break down larger objectives into logical steps using code. This newfound passion ignited Blake’s desire to learn about computer science, leading him to take his next step with crystal clarity. In this week's episode of The Immutable Mindset, hosts Adam and Kevin sit down with Blake, a conduit for creativity, who takes them on an exciting journey into the world of Web3 and NFT art. Together, they discuss the potential for innovation in this new frontier and the unique connection between sports, crypto art, and iconic baseball cards. They also explore the art of repurposing digital and generative art into larger, monetized collections, highlighting the endless possibilities for creative expression and financial gain. Notable Quotes “Working in marketing and working for all these different businesses. It was very clear to me that from the clients that I worked with, the ones that were successful all knew exactly who their customer was and what kind of, what they were providing for that customer.” Blake (41:47) “You have to decide because if you don't have this goal like laid out and kind of detailed, well, where do I, like, what kind of life do I wanna live? How do I wanna spend my day? Who do I want to be around? Spending time on that I think is really useful time. And then the other thing that like after you kind of have that figured out, Ask for what you want. And that's just something that so many people miss, is they just don't ask. Got it. And sometimes that's physically asking, saying, Hey, I need help. I need this thing, I need this support.” Blake (53:05) Our Guest Blake Jamieson is a pop artist from San Francisco, California. His vibrant pop art portraits are inspired by street art. Blake has painted portraits for over 150 professional athletes and celebrities, including Antonio Brown (Pittsburgh Steelers), Joe Montana (San Francisco 49ers), Howie Mandel (America’s Got Talent), Rick Harrison (Pawn Stars), and more.
