My guest on today’s podcast is Raoul Pal, Co-Founder and CEO of Real Vision Group.
Recently, Raoul came on to the InPeak platform with Carly Reilly for one of her token-gated sessions available to OPJ holders.
Now that Real Vision is also using InPeak for their token-gated content, I got the chance to speak with Raoul himself.
We covered two big topics, Web3 adoption of large banks and corporations and the future of tokenised communities, social media, and tokenised education.
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

My guest on today’s podcast is Farokh, an entrepreneur and social media expert, and the founder of Rug Radio, a DAO network where the incentives favour truth, ownership and long-term care for the commons.
This conversation was a lot of fun, allowing me to dive deeper into the Rug Radio ecosystem, from discovering why "Rug" in their name, to learning more about what they’re up to and where they’re going, especially now with their PFP drop approaching very soon.

My guest on today’s podcast is Ian Rogers, the Chief Experience Officer of Ledger.
I have to tell you that Ian is one of the nicest people I’ve met in Web3. He’s so passionate about Ledger and the Web3 revolution as a whole and I learned so much from him in this conversation.
The most important thing he mentioned several times during our interview was, “if not self-custody, why crypto”. This is such an important message for anyone entering the space.
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did

My guest on today’s podcast is Macey Bluebell. Many of you may know Macey from the Coin Bureau YouTube channel, where she does social media management and IRL event organizing.
I ran into Macey at last year’s Coin Bureau conference in London and invited her to be on the podcast. Throughout this conversation, we speak about their move to Dubai and the future of Web3 in the face of regulatory barriers.
I think many of you will find this conversation helpful especially if you are thinking about more Web3-friendly jurisdiction.

My guest on today’s podcast is Ray Chan the CEO of 9GAG and the founder of Memeland NFT and subsequent collections Potatoz and now the highly anticipated Captainz, dropping in January.
