In this episode of My Beautiful Mistakes host Andy Saunders talk to Sergio Mottola , Co-Founder & CEO of Public Pressure.

Public Pressure was originally launched in London in 2015 as an online community and magazine dedicated to giving a voice to emerging artists and labels. Today, it’s a global Web3 media company with a carbon neutral NFT marketplace designed to support the transition of music to Web3. Focusing on the interactions between music, fashion, culture, and technology, it powers a fair and equitable, direct-to-fan strategy for creators. Public Pressure is built on Polkadot/Kusama, which has the lowest total electricity consumption and carbon emissions per year of the six proof-of-stake (POS) blockchains. It is also the most robust, modular and secure of POS chains and joins all other blockchains into a unified network to enable the creation of smart contracts.

Sergio talks to us about his life and career to date, his early ventures into tech based businesses, his pivot into the European political arena and the development of Public Pressure as a leading exponent of Web3 and Metaverse solutions for the music, fashion and gaming industries.
