Julien Brault is the CEO of Hardbacon, based in Quebec, Canada. We've talked a lot about his journey in transitioning from being a writer to becoming a tech CEO. We discussed the processes of raising capital to fund startups. We went over the different ways to raise money, such as through venture capitalists, angel investors, and crowdfunding. We also touched upon the pros and cons of each method. 
We talked about the looming recession in Canada and how budgeting apps could help people during this difficult time. We discussed how important it is to be mindful of your spending, and how budgeting apps can help you track your expenses so you can make the most of your money. We also talked about how the recession may impact different parts of the country differently, and how budgeting apps can help people in all parts of Canada stay on top of their finances.

We talked about the current state of metaverse, its potential use cases and its shortcomings. The metaverse is a shared, virtual space that people can use to interact with each other and with digital content. It has the potential to be used for a variety of purposes, including education, entertainment, and business. However, it also has some limitations, such as its lack of physicality and its reliance on technology.

In this episode we're discussing Balaji Srinivasan's book 'The Network State' 

We're focusing on a one sentence definition of the Network State as outlined in the book:

“A network state is a social network with a moral innovation, a sense of national consciousness, a recognized founder, a capacity for collective action, an in-person level of civility, an integrated cryptocurrency, a consensual government limited by a social smart contract, an archipelago of crowdfunded physical territories, a virtual capital, and an on-chain census that proves a large enough population, income, and real estate footprint to attain a measure of diplomatic recognition.”

You can read the book for free here https://thenetworkstate.com/

Balaji Srinivasan's "The Network State" is a controversial idea that suggests that a state can be unified by a single commandment. While this may seem like a radical idea, Srinivasan argues that it could actually be very beneficial for a state. He argues that a network state would be more efficient and would be better able to adapt to change. 

In this episode we try to explore the possibilities and roadblocks that the network state enthusiasts may encounter in the future.

Jerry Chien is the Founder and CEO of gravvity.ai. Gravvity is a decentralized social network and it aims to empower people to unlock the potential of their social, & digital world. While speaking to Jerry, I realized that what fascinated me the most about Gravvity is the idea of incentivizing its creators to cause various emotions from their followers, while rewarding them with tokens, which can then be used as a currency in a metaverse as well as the real world. This could create a powerful feedback loop, where creators are constantly trying to come up with new and innovative content in order to generate more tokens, which in turn could be used to create even more content. This could lead to a never-ending cycle of creativity and innovation, and could be a major boon for the Gravvity community.

Jerry is a fellow Canadian, prior to founding Gravvity he was a career man and was able to built the first billion dollar insurance program for cryptocurrencies in 2017 and has been a senior executive in finance, insurance and tech.

The Republic of Kazakhstan gained its independence in December 1991. Rich in natural resources this multiethnic former Soviet Union country found itself in the middle of a geo-political crisis of neighboring Russia while also recovering from its own January 2022 violent revolution attempt. In this episode I share my experience and my thoughts after visiting my motherland for 2 weeks, in the aftermath of the aforementioned events.
