Mark Russo: This Is Why Art Hits Different: Energy, Frequency, and Value | DSH #1801

Have you ever looked at a piece of art… and walked away feeling different—but couldn’t explain why? 👀 In this episode, Mark Russo breaks down the wild intersection of art, frequency, precious metals, and wealth—from blue-chip art outperforming the S&P, to AI-powered museum experiences, to why silver sculptures might carry an energy people can literally feel. We get into how elite collections are built, how posthumous originals work, why fractional ownership is changing access to legendary pieces, and what it really takes to create assets so rare they become a new alternative asset class. ⚡ Expect big claims, big stories, and a conversation that turns “art” from a luxury hobby into a serious conversation about value, meaning, and the future of collecting.
