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
