  • E65 - Climate Regeneration With Vanessa Taveras Dalmau Of INTEGO
    On episode 50, I outlined how I'd like to take the future direction of this podcast's content towards what I believe are the two biggest global topics that will define the next 20 years for humanity - cryptocurrency and the climate crisis.
    For our 65th episode, let's talk climate and I couldn't think of a better guest than Vanessa Taveras Dalmau.
    Vanessa hails from the Dominican Republic and currently lives in Australia. She has a Master of Environmental Science that specializes in Climate Change Adaptation and is currently completing her PhD. Her PhD research uses Systems Thinking to explore how we can incorporate the Sustainable Development Goals into the tourism industry and transition from 'sustainable' to 'regenerative' tourism.
    Today, we explore the climate crisis and touch upon how government and politics, corporations and big business, nonprofits and for-profits, and we, as individuals, all play an active role in the past, present and future of this planet we all call home. 
    To get in touch with Vanessa, find her on Instagram @itsvanessaangelina or at her website www.integotravel.com

  • E13 - Crypto Bushi on NFTs, Art & Gaming

    NFTs are changing the way we engage with and understand art, community, money and much more. On episode 7, we broke down what NFTs are and further discussed their social utility with Brendan Gillen. On this episode, we’re going to look at the parallels between early online video gaming culture and the current NFT boom and how they’re both using the technology of the day to build global reaching online or digitally based communities. Today’s guest is Crypto Bushi or CB, as some call him. Crypto Bushi is the pod’s first pseudo-anonymous guest and he’ll share with us how he’s building community, creating art and leveraging all of his perceived wasted skills he gained as a younger online gamer in this new landscape of NFTs and web3. To follow Crypto Bushi, find him on Twitter & Instagram @thecryptobushi

  • E12 - Defi, Crypto & Financial Freedom With Grant Nieddu
    DeFi or Decentralized finance is defined as an emerging financial technology based on secure distributed ledgers similar to those used by cryptocurrencies. Defi eliminates the fees that banks and other financial companies charge for using their services. With DeFi, you hold your money in a secure digital wallet instead of keeping it in a bank. On this episode, let’s talk some DeFi as it’s a growing global digital financial movement that has gotten the attention of the traditional financial institutions due to the fact that it offers bank-less and under banked communities around the world a chance to earn yield or return on the money. Today, I’m joined by Grant Nieddu who shares how DeFi and crypto play a role in his life as an entrepreneur, coach, investor and on his own financial freedom journey. Grant’s optimism about the future of DeFi and crypto is perfectly balanced with his personal and very accurate belief that at the end of the day - - markets and the larger economy are driven by human behavior and psychology. Throughout this episode, there is a bunch of new jargon and we both do our best to define things as we go. If we miss anything of interest, please google it and know that the DeFi and crypto communities are constantly creating new vocabulary for the growing space. And like with all of the previous episodes that discuss investments and personal financial opportunities, please know that this is not financial advice but rather a candid convo highlighting how people today are leveraging DeFi and crypto to create value and build wealth.

  • E9 - Madeium's Creative Renaissance With Jesse Rademacher
    Everyday, we’re surrounded by design. But how often do we think about those who spend hours designing our world? 
    And beyond that, how are the creatives that design our world treated? How is their creative energy cultivated and encouraged within the the larger profit driven capitalist system? If it’s not being properly cultivated and encouraged, is there a better way? 
    My guest today is Jesse Rademacher and he’s CEO and cofounder of Madeium - and Madeium is that better way. 
    Madeium is a new-generation freelancer platform that brings together top design experts to build brands, products and experiences. It is also the world’s first blockchain innovation network that hopes to be the release valve for pent-up creative frustration. 
    Jesse and his team have been building Madeium for the past three years and it was humbling to have met Jesse in this moment. 
    The idea of design has been around a long time and it’s this history that has and will continue to inspire Madeium to create the future and not just think outside the box, but all together create a new one.

  • E58 - QuickPod | The Climate Crisis Blah Blah Blah

    Delving back into the existential climate crisis, Jarrett references everything from Interstellar (2014) to Fern Gully (1992) to Avatar (2009) to candidly share his thoughts on the state of the natural world and how we as humans are "dealing" with the impacts of a warming planet. While not offering any particular solution, the questions posed in this episode are ones that need to be discussed both around kitchen tables and across the aisles of the US house of representatives. If the politicians are too slow to act and the corporations are too profit-driven to change gears, what are we to do? What can we do as individuals? As society? I, for one, am done with hearing buzz words and blah blah blah and no action.

  • E56 - QuickPod | How Would You Spend A Billion Dollars?
    Have you ever written down how you would spend a billion dollars? Well, when you do - it becomes all the more absurd as you realize that a billion dollars is a lot of money! This episode explores how a billion became the new million, why we may see more billionaires in the future and Jarrett does a thought experiment by showing us how he'd spend a billion dollars.
