[1:45] – Launching in a bear market and still selling out in under 72 hours.

It was insanity! It has been the most pressure he has been under in his entire 20+ year career.
They were live in the Twitter community for 72 hours, answering questions and rallying to get the product to the finish line. It was a grind.

[3:10] – An innovative money back guarantee.

The community support and the people behind them appreciated that they took the risk.
The 6-month money back guarantee made people more confident.

[4:09] – What happens when a project sells out?

A lot of projects use minting as a starting point.
The planning cycle takes a while.
After a sellout, it’s continuous work to deliver what you already committed to

Lore is a way to bring a character to life. It is important to start with the lore from the beginning in order to tell the story.

[17:01] – Talk about the utilities God Bulls are being given that an NFT purchaser didn’t even know was part of the plan

There are 3 more utilities for God Bull holders — resurrection utility, replenishment, and it will now have power to allow teen bulls to earn Methane tokens.
God Bull holders will have access to an IRL exclusive event
It’s not just about connecting digitally or virtually. It’s also about meeting and shaking hands in the real world.

[19:29] – People are always focusing on the next thing. How do we continue to drive value to the Bulls And Apes Project in a demanding market?

The attention span is short. Most people are buying NFTs to make money right now.
Be highly engaged with the community. Help bring ideas to fruition.
It’s about incremental value and delivering what you say you’re going to deliver, and then overdelivering things that are not necessarily in the roadmap.

[21:43] – Anthony’s key take away and call to action.

Listen to some feedback and ignoring others – that’s exactly what it’s like running a Web3 business right now.
