Show Notes
When you work in the technology industry, the “next big thing” is always just around the corner. But how do we spot when something is truly transformational, or if it’s just an over-hyped gimmick? It's a question we often ponder on this show, where we meet individuals at the cutting edge of emerging technologies like blockchain, Web 3 and NFTs. On today’s bonus episode, we’re revisiting the best conversations we've had with start up founders, visionaries and all-around paradigm shifters. And we'll explore why they think the big new technology they represent is truly ground-breaking– and not just a bunch of buzz.
