Craig Follett built Universe.com, a social marketplace for events, and sold it to Ticketmaster in 2015.

Following the sale, Craig grew the business 30-fold and took the company global before leaving in 2019. He then found his calling in building Peggy.com, a secure marketplace for buying and selling investment-grade art.

In this episode, Craig shares how and why he found his post-exit mission in making incredible art affordable to everyone.
