Fantastic Pod

Highly recommend to anyone going down the Web3 / DAO rabbit hole. Owocki is one of the stronger and genuine thought leaders we have and when you couple that with his ability to draw top talent to the pod, you get a recipe for quality content.

Finally a show about regenerative economics

Really grateful for the deep thought and discussion about regenerative economics and future society. Really brilliant guests and strong interviewing. I daresay this show fills the most important niche in the space.
