In this episode, we’re joined by Anthony Rose, co-founder and CEO of SeedLegals, the platform that has become the UK’s largest closer of startup funding rounds. Often called “the man who saved the BBC iPlayer”, Anthony has a track record of building technology that transforms industries. With SeedLegals, he’s now disrupting one of the most complex and outdated spaces of all: startup fundraising and legal processes.

In “Beyond Lawyers and Term Sheets,” Anthony shares how technology is replacing expensive, slow, and opaque legal negotiations with a streamlined, transparent, and founder-friendly approach. We’ll explore how SeedLegals is democratizing access to capital, reducing friction for investors, and giving entrepreneurs the tools to focus on building businesses—not battling paperwork.

In this episode, we sit down with Eddy Travia, CEO of Coinsilium and one of the earliest pioneers in blockchain venture capital. Recognized as a top-3 “Most Influential Investor in Blockchain” by Rise in 2014, Eddy has spent over a decade at the forefront of digital assets, decentralized finance, and Web3 innovation.

In “Introducing Web3: Broken Dreams Ahead or a New Paradigm?”, we explore the promises and pitfalls of the next internet revolution. Is Web3 destined to repeat the same extractive patterns of Web2—leaving broken dreams and failed ventures in its wake? Or can it truly deliver a new paradigm of decentralization, ownership, and inclusion?

With his unique vantage point as an investor, advisor, and ecosystem builder, Eddy brings unfiltered insight into what’s real, what’s noise, and what’s next for Web3.

Let’s begin our conversation with Allison Sesso of Undue Medical Debt

Because it’s something that most investors don’t know that they don’t know; but that often changes everything once you know about it.

In this week's Radical Truth podcast, we are joined by Graham Boyd, the founder of Evolutesix, a venture studio and investor specializing in building ecosystems of future-fit businesses according to Evolutesix's ergodic investment strategy. The essence of investing, and business, is growing your capital. At the very least preserving it. And for impact investing, to have the biggest possible impact as well as preserving or growing your capital.You’re able to do the best job, reach the highest potential impact and capital growth, only if your strategy is based on how capital actually grows in a business, not on a convenient but flawed simplification.Despite the fact that almost all of the capital growth dynamics are in the “non-ergodic” class, investment theory makes the convenient simplification that capital always grows ergodically. It’s such a convenient simplification that very few people have ever heard the word, let alone recognised that different investment strategies are needed for the two classes of capital growth.This convenient simplification is a root cause of much that we wrestle with:-only one in 12 startups really succeeds,-only 5% of VC funds deliver more than 3X,-our extractive economy,-and causes impact, triple bottom line, regenerative, circular, and doughnut investments to often fall short of their potential.Investing according to the actual non-ergodic dynamics of capital growth is at the heart of the systemic changes we need for impact, regenerative, etc. investing to work; in fact, for any investing to work!This means using strategies that plug the leaks non-ergodic dynamics causes, taking you towards the ergodic limit.

In this special episode, we’re joined by Jonathan Maxwell, CEO and founder of Sustainable Development Capital LLP (SDCL), one of the most experienced investors in energy efficiency and low-carbon solutions.

In “How to Finance the Energy Transition,” Jonathan breaks down what it really takes to mobilize capital for the infrastructure of the future—from distributed energy to retrofits, from policy to pipelines. As we enter a decisive year for climate finance in 2025, Jonathan shares hard-won insights into what’s working, what isn’t, and where we go next.

With over two decades of leadership in sustainable investment, he offers a grounded, data-driven view on how to turn energy efficiency into an investable, scalable, and urgent opportunity.

Let’s get into the conversation with Jackie Logan of Honeycomb Credit.

In this episode, we welcome Chris Smaje—farmer, social scientist, and author of the provocative book Saying No to a Farm-Free Future. At a time when Silicon Valley dreams of lab-grown meat and vertical farms, Chris makes the case for something radically grounded: real farming, real soil, and real relationships with the land.

In “Farming vs. Fiction,” we unpack why the push to eliminate farming in favor of tech-driven food systems is not only ecologically naive but socially dangerous. Chris argues that dismantling farming severs us from nature, community, and democratic control over food.

With a background in sociology, decades of hands-on farming experience, and a fierce critique of techno-utopianism, Chris Smaje delivers a timely reminder: the future of food must be rooted, not fabricated.
