Ep.7 – Taking Back Control: Web3 for Artists with Dr. Kathryn Messegee

Web3 is more than just a buzzword—it’s a slow but steady revolution. In this episode, we sit down with Dr Kathryn Messegee, co-founder of Geode Blockchain, to explore how decentralization is changing the internet, empowering artists, and redefining digital ownership.

• The problems with Web2 and how platforms exploit creators
• How Web3 and blockchain give artists true ownership and financial freedom
• The power of NFTs & smart contracts for musicians, authors, and designers
• The future of digital communities and direct artist-fan relationships
