Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Generative to Agentic Ft. Melissa Roy on CryptoZombies
Q: What practical steps should enterprises take to prepare for an agentic AI future?
Enterprises must build governance, security, interoperability, and a formal process for deploying reusable agent components, while gradually scaling with guardrails and clear ownership.
From Generative to Agentic Ft. Melissa Roy on CryptoZombies
Q: What is the most important factor for crypto projects to achieve scale: tokens or products?
Product-led growth is essential; projects should solve real user problems with easy UI, then layer governance and liquidity, rather than starting with token incentives.
From Generative to Agentic Ft. Melissa Roy on CryptoZombies
Q: Do you think the new regulatory approaches will coexist with innovation, or will one push the other offshore?
The guests advocate for a balanced regulatory path that recognizes digital assets as a new asset class and prefers clear, enforceable rules from existing bodies like the SEC and CFTC rather than creating a new regulator.
Architecting The PayPal StableCoin Ft. Jonathan M. Padilla on CryptoZombies
Q: Let's get back to Crypto. You've worked for Stanford, PayPal, and B-Lines. What's the secret of getting academia, startups, and Fortune 500s to collaborate in Web3?
The secret is tolerance for bullshit and effective stakeholder management; navigating bureaucracy while keeping focused on delivering practical, innovative outcomes across diverse institutions.
2025 Wrap Show + 2026 Predictions Ft. Cory Warfield on AI Zombies
Q: What makes Notebook LM a game changer for small creators and businesses?
It dramatically reduces time to produce compelling visuals and pitches, converting inputs like PDFs and videos into interactive formats and multiple deck styles in minutes, which used to take hours or days.
