As we say on DomainSherpa – all roads lead to domains. And our work with domains has us venturing “down the rabbit hole” into different things all the time. So this is a tech-adjacent, domain name, digital asset, tangent-positive podcast – where we go deep into whatever topics are interesting to us and our audience.

In this episode, JT is joined by Drew and Rick Schwartz — the legendary “Domain King” and one of the key pioneers of the domain industry — to share his candid take on the current state of the market and where the domain space is headed.

The Sherpas dive into Rick’s use of AI, including his custom AI agent “Betty,” his perspective on .ai domains, and some incredible war stories from his career — like the blockbuster sale of Candy.com.

So tune in and jump down the rabbit hole with us!

Rick Schwartz – the “Domain King”
Mike Berkens – veteran investor and blogger at The Domains
