NOTE: I apologize this likely isn't as thorough as it could be.. I had UPS arrive at my door.. AND the Wix website (this blog) went down for 5 minutes... so I really recommend you listen to this AMA as I feel this summary doesn't do it justice. Gary talks about a lot of stuff and it was too much to capture.

- Epik works with the biggest brands to bring them into Web3 (our Metaverse)

- Epik founded in 2018

- They talk a lot about digital collectibles.

- Epik is the leading digital licensing company in the world.

- They work with 300+ digital clients.

Summary: Epik basically connects brands to projects like TCG World, bringing them into the world via experiences, events, stores and more. They are well connected and are the leading licensing agency for games and Web3. During the AMA they highly stressed experiences.
