    Chris Barton: Founder of Shazam, 2025 NeoCon Keynote Speaker

    In a special NeoCon edition episode of Barriers to Entry on the NeoConversations feed, hosts Bobby and Andrew are joined by tech and design leader Chris Barton, founder of the renowned music app Shazam and one of this year's keynote speakers at NeoCon. The trio dives into insights, stories, and observations from Chris’s impressive career in tech, which includes founding Shazam “in the 1900s” nearly a decade before the App Store existed, followed by roles at pre-IPO Google and Dropbox. Alongside a series of fascinating anecdotes and a few teasers (not spoilers!) for Chris’s Wednesday keynote, they also explore thoughts on the future of AI and education, the challenges of designing a user-first experience when no comparable product exists, and how that initial spark of an idea evolves over time.
