    Chain Reactions Live #0002: WhatsApp's New CEO, Google's A24 investment, Cursor Acquisition

    Chain Reactions is the live marketing talk show from Myosin — built by operators, for operators — breaking down the marketing happening all around you with people who actually run growth.Today, Arnav is joined by the two OGs of the show, Blake and Polina, for a 90-minute run-through of the stories the Silicon Valley echo chamber is losing its mind over, a live tool teardown, a debate, and a game that exposes how many ads you consume without realizing it.What we get into:- Kunal Shah taking the WhatsApp global CEO seat — CRED, UPI, and whether messaging apps actually become the payment layer in markets like India, China, and parts of Europe- SpaceX's IPO, the 5% float, and xAI/Grok acquiring Cursor for $60B in stock — a customer-and-talent grab more than an IDE play- Why local models became the whole conversation overnight: token economics, Anthropic's pricing shift, and what the Fable/Mythos restrictions mean for anyone building on frontier models- Google's $75M move into A24, AI in filmmaking, and the creative-tooling debate (Tron, Toy Story, and the "press a button to make AI disappear" crowd)- Markdown — Polina walks through the content automation system behind her UFC prediction tool: trusted-source scraping, virality scoring, Telegram alerts, and Fal.ai image generation with a human always in the loop- Hot Button — should performance marketing report to the CFO or the CMO? A "cordial" debate that turns into a real argument about attribution, LTV, and who owns the risk- Adaholic — guess the brand and category from the ad clip. Polina runs away with it, seven wins deep.CHAPTERS00:00 Intro — welcome back, Blake & Polina01:16 Watercooler: Kunal Shah → WhatsApp global CEO (CRED, UPI, WeChat-ification)09:32 SpaceX IPO + xAI/Grok acquires Cursor for $60B20:07 The local models moment, token economics & Anthropic pricing30:19 Google's $75M into A24 + AI in film and creative38:08 Markdown: Polina's UFC content automation teardown54:32 Hot Button: should performance marketing report to CFO or CMO?1:11:16 Adaholic: name that ad#ChainReactions #GrowthMarketing #AIMarketing #GTM #PerformanceMarketing #MarketingPodcast #Myosin #MarketingStrategy #LocalModels #VibeMarketing #CMO #SpaceX #Grok #B2BMarketing #MarketingNews #GrowthMarketing #AIMarketing

    From AI-Wary to AI-Enabled Marketers

    In this episode, we sit down with Jay and Shane, Co-Leads of the AI-Enabled Marketer & Growth Guild at Myosin, to unpack what AI-enabled marketing actually looks like in practice. We get into how both of them found their way into crypto and marketing, why AI is no longer optional for modern marketers, and how tools like ChatGPT, Claude Code, n8n, OpenClaw, Higgsfield, and Suno are changing the way teams build, iterate, and ship. We also talk through the thinking behind the AI-Enabled Marketer Skoool community they recently launched, what they’re teaching inside it, and why the goal is not hype or course-bro fluff, but practical workflows that help marketers actually do better work. Along the way, we dig into AI literacy, automation, vibe coding, creative production, lead magnets, prompting, and the difference between just watching AI content versus actually building with it. If you’ve been feeling excited, overwhelmed, or slightly behind on AI, this one is for you. Timestamps 00:00 Intro and why AI-enabled marketing matters now 04:24 Jay’s background, how crypto clicked, and why marketing was the natural lane 06:27 Shane’s path from journalism and humanitarian work into Web3 08:41 What “AI-enabled marketing” actually means 12:15 Their current AI stack: ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, OpenClaw, Higgsfield, Suno, n8n, and more 15:40 Why the AI-Enabled Marketer community exists and who it’s built for 32:32 Live demo: AI literacy quiz, lead magnets, and practical marketing builds 40:50 How they’re teaching image and video generation for marketers 52:13 Rapid fire: underrated tactics, overrated tactics, and biggest lessons from the past year Show Notes Learn more: https://myosin.xyz/ai-enabled-marketer Skool: https://www.skool.com/the-ai-enabled-marketer/about

    Why Robots Want Robot Money and What That Means for All of Us

    In Episode 51 of *Chain Reactions*, we sit down with Lex Sokolin, co-founder of [Generative Ventures](https://www.genventures.xyz/) and one of the sharpest voices at the intersection of fintech, crypto, and AI. With 15 years at the frontier of financial services, from Wall Street to early robo-advisors to co-leading DeFi strategy at ConsenSys, Lex brings a rare combination of depth and directness to the conversation.We dig into his core thesis: that AI agents are becoming economic peers, and those peers need financial infrastructure built for them. Lex breaks down how blockchain has collapsed five massive verticals of financial services into a single rail, why that's both unbelievably destructive and productive, and where the real commercial opportunities sit across payments, capital markets, and asset management.The conversation gets candid fast. Lex doesn't hold back on the crypto industry's tendency to dress up vaporware in legitimate opportunity, the evolution from Olas to Virtuals to OpenClaw as each wave of agentic AI gets slightly more real, and why the race to market to agents may ultimately benefit the fewest actual humans. We also get into the Visa and MasterCard question, whether Web3 is finance's Amazon-vs-Kmart moment, and why Tether's business model might be more interesting than Stripe's.We close with Lex's personal philosophy on turning the page, borrowed from a background in visual arts, and why building beats worrying in an era of exponential change.---**Timestamps**00:00 – Welcome and intro to Lex Sokolin of Generative Ventures02:36 – From Wall Street to robo-advisors to ConsenSys and beyond05:50 – The machine economy thesis and where the real opportunities sit08:29 – How blockchain collapsed five financial verticals into one rail10:56 – AI-first companies vs crypto-native firms and where they overlap13:42 – Latest developments and the pace of change in agentic AI14:24 – S-curves vs exponentials and why it matters for AI capabilities16:45 – The evolution from Olas to Virtuals to Lobsters20:41 – Will Visa and MasterCard be disintermediated by agents?27:39 – Amazon vs Kmart: is Web3 finance's greenfield moment?31:40 – How do you market to agents?

    In Episode 50 of Chain Reactions, Blake sits down with Nadia Sergujuk, Co-Founder of Lagoon, the permissionless vault management infrastructure that wants to become the State Street of digital assets. With a background spanning Danish law schools, PWC Legal in London, hedge funds managing $10B+ in AUM, and VC investing in deep tech, Nadia brings a rare cross-disciplinary lens to one of the fastest-growing categories in DeFi. We cover:– How Nadia went from law school in Copenhagen to hedge funds in London to co-founding an on-chain vault protocol– What vault management infrastructure actually is and why every stablecoin dollar eventually needs one– Why Lagoon's team put their own capital in first and how word of mouth drove early traction– The stablecoin explosion, neo banks in emerging markets, and why the digital dollar is eating the world– Privacy on-chain, the rise of institutional chains, and what keeps Nadia up at night (hint: quantum computing and the triple bubble) We also get into regulation as a tailwind, why Japan is the most slept-on institutional market in crypto, the innovator's dilemma facing Western Union and Visa, and why founder-led marketing beats KOLs every time.

    In Episode 49 of Chain Reactions, we sit down with Mashal Waqar, Head of Marketing at Octant, and get a surprise drop-in from Griff Green, Founder of Giveth, to dig into how public goods funding actually works on Ethereum and why it matters more now than ever. We cover:– How Octant's model works: lock GLM, earn ETH, and choose to fund public goods or keep the yield– The surprisingly heated debate over what counts as a "public good" (yes, Pizza DAO came up)– Why blockchain unlocks speed, transparency, and community-driven capital allocation that traditional grants can't match– Griff's wild story of The DAO hack, how edge case funds turned into $200M+, and the launch of the new DAO Security Fund– The case for an Ethereum security coalition and why L2s need to fund shared infrastructure Mashal shares her journey from running a media company with tens of millions of readers to burning out, discovering crypto through NFTs and Gitcoin, and co-authoring the first State of Web3 Grants report. We also get into real-world impact stories, from funding water filters in Gaza to helping doctors in Syria get paid through crypto, and why sustainable funding through DeFi yield beats depleting treasuries. Plus, a great riff on AI in public goods, the Zakat use case for crypto, and why execution beats everything.
