Jon Rogers (https://twitter.com/VanFalk_) was the founding executive of Disney’s Franchise Management division in 2005. He and his team were responsible for building some of the world’s most recognized franchises in history. Intellectual Property such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Cars, and many more beloved Disney franchises were assembled and built to last by his division.
As with everyone and their mother, Hollywood is trying to figure out the world of NFTs as fast as humanly possible too. After more than 20 years in Franchise Management & IP, Jon’s taken his previous learnings and expertise to the current (and fast-evolving) crypto and NFT space. Today he shares many of the lessons and foundational ideas he has around brand building and the future of the industry at large.
There are more nuggets of wisdom in this interview than we have space to write in this description. If you’re a fan of Disney, NFTs, and the future of Intellectual Property, you truly don’t want to miss this deep dive! This, is Overpriced JPEGs.
