Chef Shuai Wang was the runner-up on the 22nd season of Bravo’s Top Chef and is the force behind two standout restaurants in Charleston, South Carolina—Jackrabbit Filly and King BBQ—where he brings together the flavors of his childhood in Beijing and the spirit of the South in some pretty unforgettable ways. He grew up just a short walk from Tiananmen Square, in a tiny home with no electricity or running water, where his grandmother often cooked over charcoal. Later, in Queens, New York, his mom taught herself to cook—her first dishes were a little salty, but they were always made with love. And somewhere along the way, Shuai learned that cooking wasn’t just about food—it was about taking care of people. After years working in New York kitchens, he made his way to Charleston and started building something that feels entirely his own. Today, we’re talking about how all those experiences come together on the plate, the family stories behind his cooking, and what it’s been like to share that journey on national TV.

Imagine if verifying you’re human online didn’t mean giving up your privacy—or your entire transaction history. Today, blockchain’s biggest paradox is that while it promises trustless systems, it often leaves identities and wallets wide open, exposing users to everything from Sybil attacks to airdrop hunters. On platforms like Base, the Coinbase-backed Ethereum Layer 2 now outpacing Solana in daily transactions, the need for real, private user verification has never been greater. Enter Human Passport —formerly Gitcoin Passport—and its co-founder, Kyle Weiss . Their mission? To build the holy grail of blockchain identity: a way to prove you’re real, at scale, without KYC headaches or opaque algorithms. In this episode, we dive into how Human Passport is merging AI’s reasoning power with blockchain’s immutable transparency, using tools like zero-knowledge proofs to keep your data private but your identity verifiable. Kyle shares the story behind Human Passport, the invisible war for humanity playing out on-chain, and what the next era of privacy-first, bot-proof blockchain might look like. If you care about the future of digital identity—or just want to know how Web3 can finally keep the bots at bay—this is the conversation you don’t want to miss.

Anders Indset is a philosopher for the digital age—a renowned author, business thinker, and trusted advisor to leaders navigating the complexities of tomorrow. With his latest book, "The Singularity Paradox: Bridging the Gap Between Humanity and AI," Anders delivers a timely and thought-provoking exploration of one of the most pressing questions of our era: How do we reconcile rapid technological advancement with our deepest human values? Anders’ journey is as unconventional as it is inspiring. Originally from Norway and now based in Germany, he has become a sought-after voice on the global stage, known for blending European philosophical tradition with sharp insights into technology, leadership, and the future of society. His previous works, including "Quantenwirtschaft" and "Wild Knowledge," have challenged readers to rethink economics, innovation, and the meaning of progress. In "The Singularity Paradox," Anders takes on the accelerating convergence of artificial intelligence and human life. He argues that while the singularity—the point at which AI surpasses human intelligence—offers unprecedented opportunities, it also presents profound risks and ethical dilemmas. Anders doesn’t see this as a distant sci-fi scenario, but as a present-day challenge demanding urgent reflection and action. His central philosophy is that technology must serve humanity, not the other way around. Anders calls for a new "philosophy of practical wisdom," urging us to cultivate what he terms "enlightened pragmatism." This means embracing innovation while remaining grounded in empathy, ethics, and the timeless quest for meaning. He warns against the dangers of technological determinism and advocates for what he calls "Homo obsoletus"—a recognition that our own obsolescence is only a risk if we fail to adapt, learn, and lead with purpose. Anders’ writing is both poetic and pragmatic, weaving together insights from philosophy, science, and business. He challenges leaders to bridge the gap between digital transformation and human flourishing, to ask not just what we can do with AI, but what we should do. His vision is one where technology amplifies our humanity, rather than diminishes it. As we stand on the threshold of the AI era, "The Singularity Paradox" is a must-read for anyone seeking to navigate the complexities of this new world with wisdom, courage, and hope. Anders Indset reminds us that the future is not something that simply happens to us—it is something we have the power, and the responsibility, to shape.

Imagine a world where every street in a city speaks a different language, uses a different currency, and has its own quirky set of toll booths. Welcome to the current state of blockchain—a sprawling metropolis of over 1,000 networks and 16 million cryptocurrencies, most of them abandoned vehicles rusting by the curb. Navigating this chaotic landscape is like weaving through Manhattan traffic before congestion pricing—confusing, slow, and full of unexpected detours. Now, enter the cross-chain bridges—the overworked translators of this digital city. Some are robust, handling dozens of chains and hundreds of tokens; others, well, let’s just say their “security audits” might have been written in Comic Sans. It’s a mess, and the stakes are high. But what if there was a better way? What if we could bypass the traffic, break down the barriers, and create a blockchain city where everyone speaks the same language, and trust isn’t just a buzzword? That’s where today’s guest steps in.

As a day-one contributor to Ethereum and the founder of Runtime Verification, Grigore has spent his career making the digital world safer and smarter. Now, as Founder & CEO of Pi Squared, he’s tackling blockchain’s biggest challenge: interoperability without compromise. In this episode, we’ll dive into Grigore’s fascinating journey from NASA to Web3, explore how Pi Squared is building the missing trust layer for a truly modular and interoperable blockchain ecosystem, and ask the big questions: Do we really need all these L2s? What’s the future of AI agents on-chain? And can we finally achieve seamless, verifiable cross-chain computation—without bridges or centralized middlemen? If you’re a developer, crypto enthusiast, or just love a good story about solving impossible problems, you won’t want to miss this conversation. Get ready to rethink what’s possible in Web3—because with Grigore Roșu and Pi Squared, the road ahead just got a whole lot smoother. Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

Let’s get a little technical today and do a deep dive into Ethereum and other blockchains. This was an educational discussion with Amir Forouzani, Co-founder & CEO, of Puffer Labs . The world, perhaps the US, is finally waking up to the power and potential of DeFi or decentralized finance. We are beginning to see what I termed in 2017 as the “Tokenization of all Assets” is starting to take shape. Now renamed RWA or Real-World Assets, it is leveraging blockchain technology to tokenize any asset, be it tangible or intangible. One of the impediments in this space has been regulatory, another purely technology. Today we will focus on the technological aspect of how Ethereum, the world’s first blockchain dedicated to smart contracts, and a platform for being the world’s computer, enables this. There are some concerns with Ethereum, which we hope to delineate here today with Amir, and some solutions, including Puffer’s product, UniFi. While Puffer is broadly recognized as a Liquid Restaking Protocol, the company has rapidly evolved into a leading innovator in Ethereum’s decentralized infrastructure. Since closing its $18 million Series A round in April 2024, Puffer has developed a clear mandate to unify the Ethereum ecosystem, addressing the longstanding fragmentation of the Ethereum network, which has been exacerbated by the ongoing proliferation of Layer 2 solutions. One of Puffer’s signature solutions, UniFi, is a based rollup to Ethereum set to transform the L2 landscape. UniFi is low-cost, capable of sub-second transactions, and allows asset withdrawal from L2 (UniFi) to L1 (Ethereum) within a minute, which is multitudes faster than any existing rollups.

Today we focus on migration and technology, and the people caught in the middle. My guest, Petra Molnar, has written: The Walls Have Eyes: Surviving Migration in the Age of Artificial Intelligence offers a global story of the sharpening of borders through technological experiments while also introducing strategies of togetherness across physical and ideological borders. Based on years of researching borderlands across the world, lawyer and anthropologist Petra Molnar’s The Walls Have Eyes is a truly global story—a dystopian vision turned reality, where your body is your passport and matters of life and death are determined by algorithm. Examining how technology is being deployed by governments on the world’s most vulnerable with little regulation, Molnar also shows us how borders are now big business, with defense contractors and tech start-ups alike scrambling to capture this highly profitable market.

1 Unlocking Digital Asset Value: Ledn's Crypto-Backed Loan Revolution with Mauricio Di Bartolomeo 26:57
Did you know that if you are a holder of digital assets, you can take a loan out against those tokens? Ledn is a company that offers this service. I met with Mauricio Di Bartolomeo, Co-Founder and CSO of Ledn for a dynamic conversation about how this works. More about the company from CoinDesk: Cryptocurrency lending company Ledn is offering customers crypto-backed loans where all the assets remain locked up with a qualified custodian, as the company adapts its centralized finance approach to a post-FTX world. Ledn has done a brisk trade in standard loans to date, where bitcoin (BTC) posted as collateral can be further lent out to subsidize the loan. The firm has processed some $635 million of retail loans backed by Bitcoin, and over $4 billion on the institutional side. “The collateral must be held in custody, and that will always be a qualified custodian, whether that is with BitGo, or one of our banking or credit fund partners,” said Ledn co-founder Mauricio Di Bartolomeo in an interview. “This is the first time this type of loan, which is done through a centralized entity that can offer 24 hour disbursements, is being offered outside the U.S. to international customers.” Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

If you have ever wondered what the minds behind the biggest hardware wallet are like, this is for you. What an amazing conversation with Ian Rogers, CXO at Ledger . We dove into their newest kid on the block, Ledger Stax. In this video we get our first hand-on with the device as it hits the mitts of the early adopters. From Ledger: Web3 is all about digital freedom. But with freedom comes responsibility. Put simply, a crypto wallet is an interface that allows you to access and manage your funds on a blockchain. It acts as a sort of control panel, showing you exactly how much crypto you have. Plus, it allows you to communicate with the blockchain, sending and receiving valuable digital assets. You might say that your crypto wallet is the bridge between you and your crypto funds on the blockchain. However, despite the name, a crypto wallet does not contain your coins or tokens – those stay on the blockchain itself. Rather, its purpose is to secure the all-important private keys that allow you to access your blockchain address, and everything stored there. To understand how that works, let’s first look at what a crypto wallet is for. Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come! Subscribe and prepare for the new world.

I was delighted to have Gerald Heydenreich, Founder of EtherMail . In case you have not heard, interactions with NFTs, cryptocurrency, and all things blockchain can be a bit painful to control. Not anymore! Recently EtherMail launched its Email-as-a-Wallet (EaaW) solution, enabling users to create non-custodial wallets through Gmail or Apple accounts in under one minute – broadening the accessibility of blockchain-based applications and services to billions of users worldwide who currently don’t have a digital wallet. EtherMail has over 500,000 users and announced a $4 million funding round led by the powerhouse of Tim Draper and Draper Associates last year. Email-as-a-wallet provides a familiar and easy entry point for users to explore the Web3 space, and seamlessly buy, send and receive digital assets, while circumventing the steep Web3 learning curve. Email as a wallet includes a ‘know what you sign’ feature, allowing users to review transaction details as an email before signing the transaction. This was an amazing discussion where we touched on the potential of blockchain and how to onboard the masses. Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

This company is one of the OG in the industry. I really enjoyed this conversation with Daniel Fogg, CEO at RootstockLabs . We met at the recent Consensus conference in Austin. Their combination of history with Bitcoin and what they are doing to build decentralized applications by bringing Ethereum smart contracts to Bitcoin. This will only better grow the ecosystem for years to come. From the company: RootstockLabs is led by our mission to give developers the tools to build on Bitcoin, support the growth of the Rootstock ecosystem, and expand the frontiers of decentralized technology. Our History In 2009, Bitcoin made financial transactions without intermediaries possible for the first time, treating all users as equals. From early in its journey, members of RootstockLabs were already contributing to Bitcoin’s development. In 2015, the Rootstock Whitepaper was published by a group of Argentinian engineers and entrepreneurs as a way to solve real problems with an economy that was failing them. Launched as the first Bitcoin sidechain, Rootstock brought Ethereum’s smart contract capabilities to Bitcoin for the first time, while making transactions cheaper, faster, and more scalable. In 2017, RootstockLabs was born from our belief that Rootstock would be critical for Bitcoin to reach civilization scale. In 2019, we launched the Rootstock Infrastructure Framework (RIF), a set of decentralized protocols that make it easier, faster and more rewarding for developers to build cutting edge products and services on Bitcoin using Rootstock. Today, Rootstock is home to a thriving ecosystem of apps and services that are cryptographically, philosophically and economically aligned to Bitcoin. RootstockLabs exists to serve the growing community building on Bitcoin using Rootstock and RIF technology. Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

Marketing, advertising and most specifically product placement will never go away, but some of the traditional means of marketing will fade. Today we peek into what one company is doing to lead the way for advertisers to market via product placement inside of video post production. Think about all of the time that is involved in placing a can of soda on the table in the middle of a movie, while the story is being told. The lighting, angle, position, all have to be considered during that shoot. Now it can be done digitally after the actors are long gone. On the program we have the Chief Marketing Officer from Rembrand. Cory Treffiletti is helping people understand the power of leveraging a leading programmatic product placement platform. We discuss how marketing uses AI to generate memorable, natural, effective product placement in digital video.
