Platform built for fan digital economies takes leap forward with Breakthrough Sports Moments series
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – October 26, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
Nashville-based Staks has partnered with “The Sports Professor,” Rick Horrow, celebrating the revised and expanded paperback edition of his book The Sport Business Handbook by creating a series of nonfungible tokens (NFTs) based on the book’s “Breakthrough Moments” list of 50 of the most significant sports-related events that helped define the industry. This partnership marks another step in Staks’ development as a provider of digital economies that serve key constituents, including live music and sports venues, concessions & merchandise sales, teams, athletes, performers, and fans.
A New Market for Fans
Scott Pranger, CEO and founder of Staks, sees Web 3.0 digital assets as an essential element in the development of digital economies for fans and entities alike. “The market is exploding, and the music, entertainment, and sports industries have great potential with digital assets for bringing the fan experience to the next level,” Pranger said.
Global research firm Verified Market Research reports that the NFT market is projected to grow in value to $231 billion by 2030.
Staks has teamed up with studio TrashTalkArt to develop original sports artwork collections and the associated NFTs covering several distinct areas. This includes the Horrow Sports Ventures’ “Breakthrough Moments” list of 50 of the most significant sports-related moments that changed the industry, the TrashTalkArt “Rival Soup” series, and Student-Athlete specific original artwork & NFTs for NIL (name, image, & likeness) sales purposes.
Sports Professor Rick Horrow Joins the Team
“The Sports Professor,” as Horrow is known, is one of the sports industry’s most prolific deal makers, having been the architect of more than 100 deals with a combined worth over $20 billion. He is a popular instructor, speaker, writer, and commentator on the business, law, and politics of sports. Rick is also the lead author and editor of The Sport Business Handbook, whose contributors include over 100 leaders throughout the multi-billion-dollar sports industry.
Rick serves as a Staks Advisory Board Member to help guide and shape the company’s overall strategy and approach to the market. “Having Rick’s experience and understanding of the industry is a huge asset to Staks’ approach to the needs of sports players, organizations, and professionals and how we meet them,” Pranger noted.
The Future of the Market and Staks’ Role in It
UK-based research firm Juniper Research published their report on industry trends, estimating that the NFT market will climb from 24 million global transactions in 2022 to 40 million by 2027. Art and collectibles are predicated as heavy drivers of this growth, something that Staks is prepared to utilize.
Combined with Staks’ cutting-edge mobile payments platform and digital wallet, Staks is also creating new and patent-pending cryptocurrency and NFT solutions for a future where fan engagement is king in both the sports and live music industries. To deliver on this vision, the company is offering novel ways for fans to show their passion by offering greater incentives than what the market currently does with cryptocurrency rewards and digital collectibles.
A pillar of their approach with web 3.0 services is to build on the pre-existing experience rather than inventing the wheel from the ground up. This includes Staks non-fungible token stadium seats and tickets. By minting stadium seats and tickets into NFTs, Staks is also putting money back in the hands of venue owners and operators with guaranteed authenticity of ownership and smart contracts that ensure royalties for aftermarket sales will always go to the original rights holders.

The label sells out 5,555 passes in 7 minutes. First drop from Diddy & JasonMartin exclusively to pass holders.
LOS ANGELES – October 26, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
Jeremy Fall, former celebrity restaurateur turned Web3 creator of Probably Nothing, announces the launch of Probably A Label, a Web3 major record label in collaboration with Warner Records.
Probably A Label believes music best comes alive when there’s context people can connect to emotionally. They are creators that help artists rewrite those stories using the power of NFTs and believe Web3 allows artists to create with more freedom and connect with fans on a much deeper level — their mission is to live at the intersection of that culture.
This new type of record label is aimed at redefining IP ownership in the music industry, utilizing Web3 technology. It is the first time that a major label joins forces with a leading NFT culture brand to build an ecosystem that enables artists to create freely using new technologies. Their mission is not to redefine how people listen to music but to elevate the experience in which people consume it, as well as collaborate directly with artists in a manner that helps develop their creative language.
The label launched 5,555 passes that exemplify its vision of what the future of music looks like, which sold out in seven minutes. These debuted on OpenSea, following last week’s announcement of the partnership with Warner Music Group. Their first music drop will be from Grammy Award-winner Diddy and JasonMartin, claimable for Probably A Label holders. While artists will use the Web3 label as a new platform to release music for holders, the community will capitalize on “Studio A,” an incubator that will help community IP come to life. Studio A shines as a key feature where the label partners with select members, accepting pitches for any ideas specific to that project’s IP. If someone owns IP from an approved project and has an idea for a concept around it, Probably A Label can help bring it to life utilizing their resources.
Studio A will begin by accepting pitches using NFTs from approved partner projects, including Azuki, BAYC, Clone X, Cryptopunks, Degen Toonz, Doodles, Photosynthesis, Project Gojira, Pudgy Penguins, Stickmen Toys, Women & Weapons and World of Women, with more partners to be announced soon. Projects accepted into this incubator program will have access to resources from Probably A Label, Probably Nothing, and Warner Records’ ecosystems, including financing, marketing, creative development, partnerships, branding, and PR. Probably A Label sees itself as the bridge between music in Web2 and Web3, which simultaneously evolves the connection between the traditional record label model and music fans.
Other features include the ability to own a community-created NFT project that will serve as the label’s initial virtual musician. This project will be built in conjunction with the community of holders through a voting system on design, storyline, and other creative. More features include exclusive access to the label’s future drops, a community-driven music library for holders’ use, educational content highlighting best IP execution practices, access to in-person and virtual events, merchandise, and more.
“I grew up in the ’90s listening to so many artists on Warner Records. It’s surreal to have it come full circle and help them redefine how people experience music in today’s Web3 era,” said Jeremy Fall, creator of Probably Nothing. “There are a lot of conversations to be had around IP ownership and how to best utilize that IP. What attracted me the most about Warner Records is that they wanted to enter the NFT space the right way by offering full IP rights for Stickmen Toys, which we ended up partnering on.”
The collaboration with Probably Nothing and Warner Records started with Stickmen Toys. Probably Nothing helped Warner Records enter the Web3 space by providing the bridge from Web2 to Web3. Stickmen Toys is a collection of 5,000 unique, audio-visual avatars, giving collectors creative and commercial freedom to push boundaries with their ownership of the copyright.
Sebastian Simone, Vice President of Audience & Strategy at Warner Records, said, “Jeremy and the Probably Nothing team share our vision of evolving the connection between labels, their artists, and fan communities. We’re excited to be partnering with Probably A Label on developing what the future of music ownership looks like, collaborating with our communities on bringing IP to life, and working with artists to enter the Web3 space in a meaningful, authentic way.”

ABOUT WARNER RECORDS:

They help shine the light on projects that are paving the way creatively in a respectful manner to the Web3 industry. Probably Nothing is a community for the Web3 curious, the lovers of culture, creatives, and jpeg enthusiasts. It’s a hangout where the outliers run the show, a gathering place for everyone who wants to help push this new world forward and be part of the family.

Recent release ‘Strange Creatures and Other Poems about Life’ from Newman Springs Publishing author Marvin Druger is an intriguing collection of thought-provoking poems that encourage awareness and gratitude amongst all readers.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – October 26, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
Marvin Druger, a biologist and a renowned science educator, has completed his new book “Strange Creatures and Other Poems about Life”: a whimsical collection of poems and original illustrations that spark joy and creativity.
Marvin discusses his work, writing, “Every second of our lives, we experience something new. Even a repetition of the same experience is not exactly the same. We learn from everything that we do, and everything that we do becomes part of what we are. This book reflects on our everyday experiences and our environments.”
He continues, “Sometimes life is sad; sometimes it is fun; sometimes it is ridiculous. These different moods and observations appear in the poems. They provide positive insights about life that stimulate readers to reflect on their own lives.”
In his legendary general biology course at Syracuse University, author Marvin Druger tried to provide meaningful, motivational experiences that enriched the lives of students and helped them identify their unique talents and where they fit in life. His life-size cutout at the Syracuse University Bookstore welcomes students to the world of books and scholarship.
Marvin Druger was chair of the department of science teaching, professor of biology and science education, and Laura J. and L. Douglas Meredith Professor for Teaching Excellence at Syracuse University. He retired in 2009 and is now a professor emeritus. He taught science for more than 55 years to more than forty thousand students and served as president of three international science education organizations—that is, the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), the Association for Science Teacher Education (ASTE), and twice president of the Society for College Science Teachers (SCST). He also served as chair and secretary of the Education Section of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). He has received numerous science education and teaching awards. In his retirement, he is a columnist for “Fifty-Five Plus” magazine (Druger’s Zoo) and hosts a radio program on WAER-FM 88.3 (“Science on the Radio”). He also organizes and directs a Saturday Enrichment Program for Talented High School Students (Frontiers of Science) and does poetry readings for elementary school students and others. He also provides campus tours of Syracuse University for staff and students.
Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Marvin Druger’s creative collection of poetry encourages readers to think deeply about their impact on the world.
Readers who wish to experience this inspiring work can purchase “Strange Creatures and Other Poems about Life” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.
