Simon Smith: Tech startup CEO on climate realism, free speech, crypto/bitcoin | Tom Nelson Pod #84

Simon Smith is the CEO and Founder of Excalibur.FM - the decentralised podcasting/audio platform. 


Simon has had a career that has included many things. Starting out his career, working for a bank as a systems developer, he managed to escape the corporate world in 2004 and start making a living as a private trader in the futures market. He also became an Angel Investor in early stage tech and has been running the two investment strategies successfully alongside each other for the last 19 years. Having had multiple exits for the start ups he invested in and ridden out some very hairy investment cycles, he has achieved financial freedom, but still continues to work hard.


Simon started investing in Crypto in 2013 and took a deep dive down that rabbit hole over the years to get a really good understanding of the technology and what it can do for us all. Bringing together his understanding of economics, finance, technology and the psychology of human incentives, he holds high hopes that decentralized systems can create a revolution in money, media applications and governance structures. He now runs a team of developers that he funds from the money that he has made out of crypto investing. They are building user applications on top of the block chain. The main application they are working on right now is Excalibur.FM, a decentralised audio application that enables creation of NFTs of their audio content.
