Scott McLaughlin
Authenticity, Respect and Trust
Greetings, my name is Scott McLaughlin, a scholar and author passionate about the intersection of AI, blockchain, and the creator economy. I earned a BA in English Literature from Michigan State University and an MS in Education from Saint Joseph’s University. I co‑authored The NFT Revolution in 2021 with Gilbut Publishing, which became a bestseller in South Korea that has been translated into Chinese, Vietnamese, and Taiwanese. My PhD research explores how AI, Blockchain and the Creator economy will transform how creators will monetize their creativity to share directly with their fans. I believe that ingenuity, creativity and decentralized networks are central to empowering creators worldwide.
