On the episode 44 of the Web3 with Sam Kamani podcast I am interviewing Daniel Liebeskind, he is the founder and CEO of Topia, a platform for creative visual experiences that inspire authentic human connection.

From Wall Street to Silicon Valley, Daniel’s mission is to foster human connection through technology. He has been building offline communities his whole life and originally became an entrepreneur to build software that helped people manage their own personal community.

Daniel is a product creator and engineer, having coded nearly 30 applications over the last 6 years. He has built community platforms, contact managers, slack bots, real estate systems, trading platforms, knowledge ecosystems, and browser, VR and mobile games.

Daniel believes that creativity is humanity's greatest gift and he has been on a quest to empower creators and make it easier for them to earn financial freedom by creating community and bringing people together to share experiences.

Data is the key to the success of the Internet. It powers the largest technology companies today and it will tomorrow. Web3 is no different. Companies that can transform and utilize blockchain data will be the leaders in the next generation of the internet.

But managing and extracting data from blockchains is near impossible.

This is the problem that SubQuery is solving, Subquery is an efficient custom open-source API between decentralized data and tools.

In today’s episode I interview James Bayly who is the Chief Operation Officer for Subquery. And in this wide running conversation we talk.

Do you know that Blockchain, crypto and Web3 are used very differently in Africa to the rest of the world.

There is no better proof of that then, when it comes to mobile payments, countries like Kenya lead the rest of the world.

Today I have with me Jay Shapiro, who is the founder of Pan Africa Gaming Group and Usiku games. He has worked all around the world and he is currently based in Kenya where he is creating a DAO or a collection of African gaming companies across the continent.

I got to learn so much about the African gaming market from this conversation and I can see why Jay is so bullish about the African continent.

So if you would like to uncover the opportunities and want a glimpse of the future then this episode is for you.

We not only talk about how Africa is going to change the world but also

Let’s say you are one the few people in the world who bought an NFT that is now worth a lot. Maybe you own doodles or BAYC or Cypto Funks. These sorts of digital assets are worth a lot but they are not liquid, not the easiest to sell or do anything with it?

Let’s say you saw an incredible investment opportunity or need money urgently for some reason but your funds are stuck in NFTs which you might not want to sell when the market is down. Then you can go to a platform like Paribus.io where you can use your NFT as a security and borrow money against it for a small interest.

Unless you live under a rock you have heard about all the scams, phishing and other security threats that exist on the internet, especially on Web3. Maybe you even know people who have lost funds or data due to security issues.

So my question is how do you protect yourself in this wild wild west environment, where so much of the responsibility for security is now handed back to the user. Or maybe you are a founder of a startup or a small business then what should you do?

These are some of the questions I ask my guest today on this podcast. My guest speaker today - Rogier Fischer  is a founder of a super successful security firm. One of the reasons I wanted to interview him is because they think like hackers.

So in this interview I asked him how hackers think and what is the most important thing everyone should be doing to protect themselves online. If you value your security, your privacy, your data and your funds then this interview is for you.
