From Louis Vuitton to Ledger (w/ Ian Rogers)


Listen Later

Thomas Pacchia and Mike Germano sit down for a livestreamed chat with ⁠Ian Rogers⁠, who went from managing the Beastie Boys’ digital presence to running Beats Music, building luxury tech at LVMH, and now pushing self-custody mainstream as Chief Experience Officer at Ledger. They discuss:

  • What the Beastie Boys taught Ian about decentralization LONG before Bitcoin

  • How iTunes reshaped digital commerce (and what it got wrong)

  • Why Louis Vuitton made him rethink scarcity, status, and what it means to “own” something

  • How Ledger is designing hardware wallets for the next 100 million users

  • Why streetwear, skating, and Bitcoin all thrive on earned identity, not marketing
