## Resource

Seth Fowler recently got some flak on X for selling a bunch of his collection.

Respect to all on the content grind. --- New episodes released weekly. --- Subscribe to Fire Footwear on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@firefootwearsneakers Subscribe to Matt Frates on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mattfrates --- Follow Matt Frates on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattfratescreates/ Follow Matt Frates on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mattfratescreates Reach out to me with questions or thoughts: mattfratescreations@gmail.com This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy
