Jeremy Dunn has had a winning streak of projects (Georgia Earle's, SameDayPros.com, Money Mailer Franchise) prior to catching sight of the NFTs. Presently, Jeremy and his team are preparing for the launch of Secret Society of Odd Fellows. I talked to Jeremy about it.
Chris: The team has been working on the project for a long time. How did you guys build the idea that has so many benefits IRL?
Jeremy: NFT and blockchain technology is fascinating to me. The benefits IRL or “Real World Utility” is an aspect of NFTs that will change the world. That’s what we are looking to do here. Change the world. The idea really came about from watching project after project, just dead end, no real world utility. I’ve been fortunate enough in my career to have been able to surround myself with some of the brightest and biggest thinkers you would ever know. Through these partnerships and relationships we wanted to leverage every opportunity. Opening every door. Shining light on every idea. Doing things that have never been done before.
Chris: Please introduce us to your team. How does each one of you contribute to SSOF?
Jeremy: Awesome so obviously that was another big thing. On one hand Defi and Autonomy in this space is cool. Unfortunately I’ve seen way to many scams and rug pulls. It was important for me personally to fully dox myself, let the community know who I am, what they are getting into, put my butt on the line for something I believe in.
My artists too. We got Oschino Vasquez. This guy is the real deal. An absolute legend. He’s written and produced multiple songs, mixtapes and studio albums. He’s worked with some of the greatest rap artists of all time including Jay-Z and Kayne West. He’s enjoyed a successful rapping and acting career through his affiliation with State Property in the early 2000s when he was signed to Roc-a-Fella Records along with Beanie Sigel, Freeway, Peedi Crakk, Omillio Sparks, and the duo Young Gunz (Young Chris and Neef Buck). State Property OST topped the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Album Chart in 2002 and The Chain Gang Vol. 2 topped the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Album Chart in 2003. Both albums hit #1. In 2002 their first album ended Nas’ reign of Stillmatic and in 2003 they ended the Soundtrack of Bad Boys II’s reign. He’s arguably one of the greatest artists with a mic and a paint brush.

We got Redouane “red1gfx” Belhadi who is an 18-year-old renowned artist, designer, cartoonist, and content creator who has been perfecting his craft since childhood. He’s studying Science & Technology to even further and hone his skills in the digital world. Don’t let his age fool you. He has a fan base of over 28K worldwide supporters and has done work for Fortune 500 companies and Global Brands alike. In addition to being an artist, designer, cartoonist, and content creator, he’s collaborated on other NFT projects and has experience in UI/UX design. He is currently in talks with a major production company for an animated YouTube series project. He’s going to do big things.
Chris: The roadmap is well charted out! You have every plan in place. How does one keep updated on what is happening at SSOF?
Jeremy: No doubt! Discord is where the magic happens. But of course our website, every social media outlet, we’re @oddfellowsnft across the board. Even LinkedIn. We’re super active and responsive and would love to have everyone along for the ride.
Chris: There were other options for choosing the blockchain network. Did you have any specific reason for using the Ethereum blockchain?
Jeremy: Yeah for sure. So that’s a big hot button right now. I’m a believer in Ethereum. I’m also super loyal. Ethereum has done well for me and I believe in their longevity and where they are going. So we stuck with them.
Chris: You are offering 100% of royalties back to the community. This is awesome news for potential investors. Very few NFTs offer that. What made you take this decision?
Jeremy: I wanted to make a statement. Pull out all the stops. Really let the community know how much they mean to me. This is, at the end of the day, their project. By nature I’m a very giving person. I believe in doing good things. Having lots of fun. I believe we’re going to both good things and have lots of fun here.
Chris: How to buy an Odd Fellow? In other words, what is the minting process? What is the expected price for each Odd Fellow NFT?
Jeremy: That’s the best part! You may not even have to buy one at all. We’re running contests and giveaways just follow our socials for announcements and how to participate. We’ve also decided to some raffles for whitelist spots in order to cut down on gas wars. But public sale is slated for January 15th at 5:00pm EST. You can go right to our website, at which time the mint functionality will open up, connect your wallet and away you go. Price will be 0.08 ETH per Odd Fellow. We’ve got 11 1 of 1’s you don’t want to miss a chance at those.
Chris: How does one come to know about the unique Odd Fellow NFT? What is the plan for their reveal? Will they be airdropped?
Jeremy: Absolutely. We’re going to continue to give some sneak peaks on Discord and our socials. Reveal will be 24-48 hours after sellout depending on the nature of OpenSea. Stay tuned for some exciting news on that last question don’t want to let too many cats out of the bag just yet.
Chris: There are many collaborators already on the board! The marketing is going pretty strong. What is the future plan of action for SSOF once the NFT gets sold out?
Jeremy: Let me put it like this, you haven’t seen anything yet. Earth shattering, game-changing, announcements will be revealed within 24-48 hours of sellout. The party, real world utility, and passive income making from the 100% of the royalties going back to the community has only just begun. I don’t think the world is ready for what we are about to do to them. Would love to have you all along for the ride!
