These episodes reveal more than popularity. They reveal patterns. Across Web3, AI, marketing and digital business, this countdown highlights the stories that connected with re...
Send us a text Players were trading digital loot under trees in MMOs (Massively Multiplayer Online games) long before NFTs existed. That single image sets the tone for this conversation with Rudy Koch, cofounder of Mythical Games and veteran of Call of Duty and World of Warcraft, as we unpack what truly drives Web3 gaming forward: behavior, not buzzwords. We talk about how blockchain formalizes a desire that’s been in games for decades and why the path to mass adoption starts with joy, ...
Send us a text Privacy stops being a niche feature the moment you realize it’s not about secrecy—it’s about control. We sit down with Shahaf Bar-Geffen, CEO and co-founder of COTI, to unpack why privacy is rapidly becoming critical infrastructure for Web3, how selective disclosure changes the trust equation, and what it takes to make privacy the default without sacrificing performance or decentralization. We trace the evolution from transparent ledgers to private transfers and into the next ...
Send us a text Comedy can tell the truth about tech faster than a slide deck—and Jason Yeager proves it. We sit down with the creator behind MyTechCEO to unpack how satire, timing, and taste can outperform dry explainers, win brand partnerships, and build a loyal audience without resorting to shock value. If you’ve wondered how to make complex ideas irresistible to watch and easy to share, this conversation lays out a practical path. Jason breaks down the engine behind rapid growth: a ...
Send us a text Reputation travels faster than personal branding when the right people vouch for you. That idea sits at the core of our conversation with Evolve Commerce Club founder Carlos Monteiro, who traces a path from helping Danish companies enter Brazil to building an invite-only network of senior leaders across 48 markets. We dig into how perspective, generosity, and consistent follow-through transform one-off intros into compounding trust—and why that matters most for executives navig...
Send us a text What if your meetings, emails, and files didn’t disappear into memory but evolved into a living, searchable system of record that actually moved work forward? That’s the provocative idea we unpack with David Shim, Co-Founder and CEO at Read AI, who lays out how durable knowledge, personalized models, and a practical “digital twin” can turn everyday chaos into predictable outcomes. We start with the problem everyone feels: notes are scattered, context slips away, and the “why” ...
Send us a text Walk the floor at Web Summit without leaving your headphones. We sit down with Jo Smets, founder of BluePanda and president of the Portuguese Belgian Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce, to unpack how nearshoring and AI are reshaping CRM, marketing, and team delivery across Europe. We start with clarity on nearshoring: why time zone, culture, and communication speed beat cost alone, and how that proximity pays off when you’re wiring AI into daily work. Jo shares how BluePanda appli...
Send us a text What if most of the economy can be automated without anything we’d call real general intelligence? That provocative idea launches a candid tour with Ben Goertzel through the difference between LLM “breadth” and the kind of generalization that marks true AGI. We unpack why today’s models are powerful yet limited, how they’ll reshape work in the near term, and what ingredients are missing for systems that reason, invent, and move beyond the data that formed them. We dig into a p...
1Send us a text What if the safest career move right now is the one that looks riskiest on paper? We sit down with Joe Pulizzi, author of Burn the Playbook, to unpack why synthetic content is rising, why the algorithm favors cheap efficiency over human craft, and how creators and marketers can still win by building audiences they truly own. The stakes are real: job security is fragile, feeds are optimized for cost, and the window to establish direct relationships is closing faster than most re...
Send us a text Imagine boosting engagement by 400% without changing your product, only your story. That’s the promise Park Howell delivers as we dive into why audiences don’t care about what you make—they care about what you make happen in their lives. Park, an Emmy-winning business storytelling coach and author of Brand Bewitchery and The Narrative Gym for Business, breaks down the ABT framework—And, But, Therefore—and shows how it turns intuitive storytellers into intentional communicat...
Send us a text A packed Lisbon room. A candid conversation with Sérgio Ferreira, Partner at EY and Jo Smets, President, CCLBL & CEO, BluePanda. And a straight shot of strategy on how AI shifts from cost-cutting to true growth. We take you inside real examples—finance, HR, retail, and contact centers—where automation speeds the work while people make the judgment. The result is faster decisions, 24/7 service, and new operating models that put digital assistants in every pocket and at every...
Send us a text What happens when you stop treating crypto like a lottery ticket and start treating it like money? We sit down with Joël Valenzuela – core member of DashDAO and creator of Digital Cash Network – who has lived entirely on cryptocurrency since 2015, closed his bank account, and built a daily routine on digital cash. Joel takes us from childhood memories of currency devaluation in Mexico to the first time he split a dinner bill with Bitcoin before payment apps were mainstream. He...
Send us a text Crypto isn’t supposed to feel like homework. We sit down with Lani Dizon, co-founder and president of Zenza Capital and the RYO Digital Project, to unpack how RYO turns Web3 from hype into habit—usable money, real payments, and tools your family can actually trust. From the origin of RYO as Japan’s historic symbol of trust to its rebirth as a modern digital currency, we trace a clear through-line: make crypto simple, human, and useful. We dig into RYOPAY’s pilot with Grain X G...

Send us a text 🎧 Full audiobook edition of “The Future CMO” – written and narrated by Joeri Billast. The job changed while most of us were still crafting campaigns. We break down how the CMO is being rebuilt into a Chief Value Officer who speaks in revenue, margin, risk—and proves it. No marketing theatre. Just a clear path to measurable impact powered by trust, technology, and community. Across a fast-moving conversation, we map the value equation (perception + trust + outcome) and show ho...
Send us a text Imagine algorithms that feel more attentive than people – always patient, never tired, and ready with the perfect follow‑up question. That illusion of empathy is already shaping how buyers research, decide, and stay loyal. We sit down with Mark Schaefer to unpack the human side of AI: cognitive offloading at scale, de‑skilling that changes how customers think, and what it means when assistants default to a single recommendation instead of a page of links. We dig into the new r...

For Xavier Hendricks, these painful experiences sparked a mission to revolutionize crypto security through radical simplicity. Xavier's journey from blockchain enthusiast to security specialist reveals a counterintuitive truth: the best security removes technology rather than adds it. "Anything that's complicated, anything that's technical, is a weakn...
Send us a text The crypto industry has a storytelling problem. Despite its revolutionary potential, most crypto projects struggle to connect with mainstream audiences because they've created an insular world of jargon, acronyms, and narratives that actively exclude outsiders. "I've been in a lot of different industries – social impact, investment, technology, healthcare – and I've never been in an industry where narrative mattered more than crypto," explains Stephany Zoo, Head of Ecosystem a...
