The Ledger Podcast

In this episode of The Ledger Podcast, we dive deep into the emerging frontier of the ownership economy, where consumers become stakeholders, loyalty becomes liquid, and brands are rebuilt from the bottom up.

Our EVP of Ledger Enterprise, Sebastian Badault sat down with Ovie Faruq ,co-founder and CEO of REKT Brands, live from Ledger Op3n at 106 in Paris. From crypto-native companies to the shifting power dynamics of brand building, Ovie unpacks why traditional loyalty is broken, how brand coins reshape the value exchange, and why the next generation of global brands will be built with their communities, not above them.

They discuss:

• Why crypto-native builders create differently
• How brand coins reward early supporters
• Why legacy giants like Pepsi & P&G can’t simply “copy” crypto-native brands
• The emotional and financial value of community-owned brands
• What happens when consumers become co-creators

On this special episode of the Ledger Podcast, recorded live at Ledger Op3n in Paris, Head of Brand Development Mo EL-SAYED sits down with two Australian Rugby legends, Matt Giteau and Drew Mitchell (co-hosts of Kick Offs and Kick Ons and our new Australian Ambassadors).

This episode is all about value, risk, and rewriting the rules. Matt and Drew share the story of their game-changing move to France in 2011—a move that fundamentally altered the landscape of Australian rugby and led to the creation of the famous Giteau Law. They discuss how that spirit of taking control, betting on yourself, and proving your value on your own terms mirrors the ethos of digital ownership.
