    296: Runwago — Get Paid to Hit Your Running Goals Sustainably

    Runwago wants to make running pay—without ponzinomics. Founder Martin explains how their SportsFi app lets everyday runners monetize realistic goals using a transparent “challenge pool” model: everyone joins a challenge, finishers get 100% of their stake back plus rewards funded by those who don’t finish. No shoe NFTs, no inflationary reward token. Timestamps [00:00] Opening & why SportsFi still matters [00:03] Martin’s crypto OG journey (since 2012) [00:05] The problem: 300M daily runners, almost zero monetization [00:08] The model: pooled challenges; finishers earn from non-finishers [00:11] Devices & anti-cheat: Garmin/Apple/WearOS integrations [00:16] App Store realities: compliance, custody, reviews [00:19] Tokenomics done differently (RUNWAGO ≠ reward token) [00:22] Fiat challenges, company revenue, future revenue-share to holders [00:25] GTM: Puma tie-ins, offline activations, club strategy [00:29] Community > celebrities; micro-KOLs and run clubs [00:36] What they’re hiring/raising/partnering for next [00:39] How to try the app + meet at Token2049 Connect https://www.runwago.com/ https://x.com/runwago https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-lepka-12b51120b/ Disclaimer Nothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

    295: Futr.network — AI Agents That Pay You for Your Data

    Alex (ex-BMO investment banker turned founder) shares how Futr.network is flipping the ad/data model with AI agents that pay you for training them. We dig into why the Web2 barter economy (free services for your data) is collapsing, how zero-party data and a data supply chain can route value back to consumers and data contributors (think: mortgage brokers, lenders), and why agentic advertising will disrupt Google/Meta style targeting. Timestamps [00:00] “Time for a new data model” — agents that pay you for training data [00:01] Alex’s path: BMO (M&A → FIG → Digital Assets), fund, stables, now AI agents [00:03] What’s broken: Web2 barter system, cookies/pixels, hidden training sets [00:05] Futr.network: self-sovereign AI agent + incentives for data contributors [00:06] Mortgage example: underwriting pack → agent training → recurring royalties [00:09] Why prior “get paid for your data” failed; why now works (AI agents = $$) [00:15] KPIs: users, dollars on rails, brand demand for zero-party data [00:16] Beachhead: auto loans (optimize payments, save interest, set-and-forget) [00:18] Rails: bank links, credit/debit, embedded wallet, stablecoin payments [00:19] Next verticals: mortgages, student loans; beyond finance → life data [00:21] What most miss about AI: it ran Web2 behind the scenes for years [00:24] High-fidelity AI: no hallucinations when money moves; enterprise-grade stacks [00:28] AI × crypto: machine-speed decisions need machine-speed value settlement [00:30] Data supply chain (like music royalties) via blockchain micropayments [00:32] The disruption: agentic advertising eats digital ads in 3–5 years [00:33] The ask: brands & enterprises; network effects; just raised $5.1M; more to come [00:37] Beta access coming; train your agent, earn tokens Connect https://futrnetwork.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/thefutrcorporation/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-mcdougall-290b0b39/ Disclaimer Nothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

    294: Intuition Systems — Trust, Attestations & AI’s Garbage-In Problem

    Billy, founder of Intuition Systems (ex–VC/early crypto), digs into the biggest risk in AI: models trained on garbage, regurgitated data and algorithm-shaped behavior. We unpack how attestations, signed data, and web-of-trust reputation can give both humans and AI better intuition at decision time — from picking a chair to routing agentic AI across platforms. Timestamps [00:00] We’re being shaped by algorithms; slop-in → slop-out AI [00:02] Billy’s path: distributed systems, fintech, game bots, early Bitcoin [00:05] The problem: fragmented info (web + people’s heads) & costly context-switching [00:06] What Intuition is: structured expression + rediscovery + rewards [00:08] Attestations & incentives (economic + reputational) without spam [00:12] Can bots game it? Bonding curves, loss for bad signal, web-of-trust filters [00:18] Best content should win: TikTok-style merit + trust primitives [00:19] Use case #1: AI agents—personalization, agent reputation, platform reputation [00:22] Why these reputations must be decentralized (avoid platform capture) [00:23] GTM: unopinionated dev platform + opinionated apps to show PMF [00:24] Biggest challenges: focus, hitting PMF, AI acceleration outpacing products [00:27] Mission: give AI “intuition” via signed, attributed, reputational data [00:28] Reducing AI’s recursive slop problem; verifiable attribution with keys [00:30] Humans act differently per platform; algorithms distort expression [00:33] Call to action: build at the AI × Web3 trust layer; join the community [00:35] Layer Zero Ventures origins (people = Layer 0); why Intuition exists [00:37] Events: Korea Blockchain Week & Token 2049; Intuition side events Connect https://www.intuition.systems/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/0xintuition/ https://x.com/0xintuition https://www.linkedin.com/in/william-luedtke-b0a3bb5a/ https://x.com/0xbillyDisclaimer Nothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

    293: Federated Identity, Real Consent & Bot-Free Traffic w/ Patrick (Tracer Labs)

    Patrick (Tracer Labs) breaks down Trust ID, a consent + identity layer that replaces cookie pop-ups with a portable, user-owned identity (and embedded wallet). We dig into how Tracer helps brands unify siloed data without storing PII, verify real humans amid AI traffic, and enable one-click privacy that travels site-to-site. Timestamps [00:00] AI = most traffic; attribution is broken [00:01] Intro — Patrick, Tracer Labs & Trust ID [00:02] Patrick’s crypto origin story & prior ventures [00:05] The problem: siloed brand data + compliance burden [00:06] What Trust ID does: consent + identity + embedded wallet [00:07] One-click wedge: spin up wallet, tokenize consent, no more cookies [00:09] Brands get real humans, no PII; users keep privacy & control [00:12] GDPR/CCPA costs; why a new US standard is needed [00:15] AI search & bot traffic: restoring pre-intent signal [00:18] Federated identity, modular plug-in, keep existing auth [00:19] Agentic “child IDs” w/ wallets & rule sets (Q1 roadmap) [00:20] KYC/KYB as commoditized credentials that travel with you [00:22] Live MVP; replacing legacy consent managers; early clients [00:24] Who’s adopting: cards, casinos, banks, travel; multi-brand SSO [00:25] Unifying loyalty & rewards across properties [00:26] Founder advice: talk to customers on day one [00:31] Digital identity misconceptions; why this time is different [00:33] Abstraction for users; less friction, fewer decisions [00:36] Vision: 0.5–1B users; cut spam; programmatic commerce [00:38] The ask: hiring devs; enterprise intros; $15M seed open Connect https://www.tracerlabs.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/tracerlabs/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrickmoynihan1/ Disclaimer Nothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.
