Today my guests are Sam Englebardt and Richard Kim, general partners at venture fund, Galaxy Interactive. Having come from the media and finance sectors respectively, Sam and Richard joined forces in 2018 to invest in their shared thesis that immersive digital experiences would become the dominant way people engage with each other in the future. Our conversation centers around the evolution of art, finance, and gaming as they proliferate in Web3. Please enjoy my conversation with Sam and Richard.

So Richard and Sam, we're going to talk a lot about different potential areas of impact for Web3, from gaming to art, to the financialization of everything in our conversation today, probably even touch on topics like mental health, which will be really interesting. I want to start though with art and maybe actually in the traditional art world, I know you both had a conversation with a person that runs the Whitney, a very classic art institution. I'd love to hear about that conversation. What was the purpose of it, what did you take from it and maybe touch on this idea that you learned about art versus market. I'm really intrigued by this concept and think it's a great place to start.
