Fireside Chat & Q+A with Luca Netz, CEO of Pudgy Penguins  Date: Wed 2 August  Time: 9am PT/4pm UTC Luca Netz (Luca Schnetzler) is the CEO of Pudgy Penguins, an 8,888 NFT collection of adorable cartoon penguins. In April 2022, Netz acquired the Pudgy brand and his leadership has turned it into a success story beyond Web3.  In May 2023, the company introduced a physical line of plushies and figurines called Pudgy Toys. The launch of these physical collectibles topped the charts on Amazon, with over $500,000 in sales volume over two days. In this genius call, Luca will discuss his vision for Pudgy Penguins and the rationale behind this acquisition. He will also cover licensing and merchandinsing products that have roots in web3, leveraging community and building trust, insights from running a web3 business, monetising social influence and much more.    Connect with Luca at: https://twitter.com/LucaNetz

We love curating at HUG, anything from NFT projects to in-person experiences to fashion on the red carpet. Be a part of our Met Gala Watch Party in Discord as we emoji react to our most and least favorite looks and try to find NFT doppelgangers for some of the world's hottest celebrities.

This is the first time HUG Is entering the metaverse! HUG is officially taking over the Crypto Valley Art Gallery where we will not only be displaying our HUG NFTs, but also feature our members of groupHUG as well as art from our community. Plus... there may just be a surprise video drop!

Thank you for taking the time to fill out the WoW Pixies Community Survey! The goal is to learn more about and gain feedback from our community so we can create incredible experiences and opportunities for you all.

You are a founding member of the HUG curator club! We have bonded over researching hug-worthy NFTs, populating Notion databases, exchanging fun facts about each other, and last but definitely not least, coming up with hug puns. All of your efforts will now be memorialized as we break ground to build the inclusiverse.
