“If we march into that village and we start trying to persecute people for using poison, something that's very illegal, nobody's going to talk to us. We're not going to find out where the poison came from. We're not going to be able to shut anything down. We should take the approach that people are using poison because they're desperate, because they see no other alternative.” – Andrew Stein Andrew Stein is a wildlife ecologist who spent the past 25 years studying human carnivore conflict from African wild dogs and lions in Kenya and Botswana to leopards and hyenas in Namibia. His work has long focused on finding ways for people and predators to coexist. He is the founder of CLAWS , an organization based in Botswana that's working at the intersection of cutting-edge wildlife research and community driven conservation. Since its start in 2014 and official launch as an NGO in 2020, CLAWS has been pioneering science-based, tech-forward strategies to reduce conflict between people and carnivores. By collaborating closely with local communities, especially traditional cattle herders, CLAWS supports both species conservation and rural livelihoods—making coexistence not just possible, but sustainable.…

Tech Snippets Today with Joseph Raczynski
Let’s get a little technical today and do a deep dive into Ethereum and other blockchains. This was an educational discussion with Amir Forouzani, Co-founder & CEO, of Puffer Labs . The world, perhaps the US, is finally waking up to the power and potential of DeFi or decentralized finance. We are beginning to see what I termed in 2017 as the “Tokenization of all Assets” is starting to take shape. Now renamed RWA or Real-World Assets, it is leveraging blockchain technology to tokenize any asset, be it tangible or intangible. One of the impediments in this space has been regulatory, another purely technology. Today we will focus on the technological aspect of how Ethereum, the world’s first blockchain dedicated to smart contracts, and a platform for being the world’s computer, enables this. There are some concerns with Ethereum, which we hope to delineate here today with Amir, and some solutions, including Puffer’s product, UniFi. While Puffer is broadly recognized as a Liquid Restaking Protocol, the company has rapidly evolved into a leading innovator in Ethereum’s decentralized infrastructure. Since closing its $18 million Series A round in April 2024, Puffer has developed a clear mandate to unify the Ethereum ecosystem, addressing the longstanding fragmentation of the Ethereum network, which has been exacerbated by the ongoing proliferation of Layer 2 solutions. One of Puffer’s signature solutions, UniFi, is a based rollup to Ethereum set to transform the L2 landscape. UniFi is low-cost, capable of sub-second transactions, and allows asset withdrawal from L2 (UniFi) to L1 (Ethereum) within a minute, which is multitudes faster than any existing rollups.

We are touching on cybersecurity today. What are the latest scams and technologies that are being used to help people part ways with their assets. It's unfortunate, but staying aware and vigilant is key. We focus on how you can stop the madness once it has started, with Andy Maus, Head of Cyber Recovery Services at DriveSavers. Ransomware attacks increased by 32% from Q3 to Q4. The fourth quarter was marked by new players emerging and established groups adjusting their strategies. In 2024 alone, 55 new ransomware groups emerged — a 67% increase in group formation from the previous year — indicating a rapid proliferation of smaller, more agile players in the cybercrime ecosystem.

Today we discuss how emerging technology help help better verify someone is who they say they are. It's no easy task. Humanity Protocol, founded by Terence Kwok, is a decentralized, privacy-first digital identity blockchain, which has launch of Humanity Foundation, an initiative to advance decentralized identity technology and foster global adoption of Proof of Humanity solutions. The Foundation will be led by its founding directors, Yat Siu, Chairman of Animoca Brands, Mario Nawfal, Founder of International Blockchain Consulting, and Yeewai Chong, a seasoned investment professional from Morgan Stanley and Ortus Capital. Humanity Foundation will serve as the driving force behind Humanity Protocol’s ecosystem, with a mission to fund innovation, incentivize community growth, and explore transformative use cases for decentralized identity. At the core of Humanity Protocol is its Proof of Humanity framework, which kickstarts identity verification with privacy-preserving biometrics to establish human uniqueness. This foundational layer provides a secure and sybil-resistant way to authenticate users while preserving their privacy. Building on this biometric foundation, Humanity Protocol enables users to layer additional credentials—such as educational qualifications, employment history, and social reputation—onto their verified identity. This creates an extensible, decentralized, and open identity layer that empowers users to take ownership of their data and interact confidently across digital and physical domains. “Biometrics provide the ideal starting point for building a secure, decentralized identity system,” said Yeewai Chong, interim CEO of Humanity Foundation. “By anchoring Proof of Humanity in biometric verification, we unlock a world of possibilities for integrating diverse human attributes into a single, privacy-first identity framework.” Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

As someone who has overseen teams of customer success and service, this was a very interesting conversation. We are at a point where many of these human services can be replaced by machine. Listen to what is happening now with Dimitri Masin, CEO and Cofounder at Gradient Labs’. While AI-powered customer service isn’t new, regulated industries have been left behind due to strict compliance requirements and the high cost of mistakes. AI customer service agents can achieve 80-90% resolution rates, 75% cost savings, and a 98% quality assurance pass rate (compared to 90% for humans), outperforming both human agents and traditional bots.

This was a wonderful opportunity to speak with Holly Levanto, VP in Booz Allen’s AI practice about the current and future uses of AI. Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming military operations and strategies, offering unprecedented capabilities in areas such as surveillance, data analysis, and autonomous systems. AI-driven technologies can enhance decision-making processes, improve the precision of weaponry, and optimize logistics, leading to more efficient and effective military actions. However, the integration of AI into the military also raises ethical and security concerns, particularly regarding autonomous weapon systems and the potential for unintended consequences. As nations continue to invest in AI research and development, the future of military operations will likely be shaped by the balance between leveraging these advanced technologies and addressing the associated risks. Ultimately, the responsible use of AI in the military could lead to enhanced security and stability, but it requires careful consideration of ethical standards and international regulations. Holly Levanto brings digital, analytics, and AI capabilities to Booz Allen clients, with more than a decade of experience supporting the Department of Defense (DOD) and other U.S. federal agencies. Her background includes working to advance digital readiness, adoption, strategy, workforce, and data-driven organizational transformation. In leading the delivery of AI domains, Holly applies a breadth of expertise spanning resilience, human performance, military readiness, health, and operations. As an AI adoption lead for Booz Allen’s chief technology team, Holly oversees the delivery of advanced solutions to enable the AI and digital transformation of U.S. defense organizations. In this role, she leads acceleration of digital and AI adoption for key DOD mission commanders operating worldwide. She oversees a team that is translating new data analytics capabilities into decision advantage for the warfighter at the edge in pursuit of Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2). In addition, she drives the firm’s strategy and engagement of solutions in DOD’s Chief Digital and AI Office. Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

Are you sleeping on the potential of NFTs? Today I had a fantastic chat with Zach Burks, CEO & Founder at Mintable . As we all know now, NFTs, or non-fungible tokens are a derivative of blockchain technology. The mania peaked in 2021 with the likes of Bored Apes and CryptoPunks, the latter is still seen as the original grail in the industry, but even Punks have dropped in value from their highs.

Based on years of researching borderlands across the world, lawyer and anthropologist Petra Molnar’s The Walls Have Eyes is a truly global story—a dystopian vision turned reality, where your body is your passport and matters of life and death are determined by algorithm. Examining how technology is being deployed by governments on the world’s most vulnerable with little regulation, Molnar also shows us how borders are now big business, with defense contractors and tech start-ups alike scrambling to capture this highly profitable market.

1 Unlocking Digital Asset Value: Ledn's Crypto-Backed Loan Revolution with Mauricio Di Bartolomeo 26:57
Did you know that if you are a holder of digital assets, you can take a loan out against those tokens? Ledn is a company that offers this service. I met with Mauricio Di Bartolomeo, Co-Founder and CSO of Ledn for a dynamic conversation about how this works. More about the company from CoinDesk: Cryptocurrency lending company Ledn is offering customers crypto-backed loans where all the assets remain locked up with a qualified custodian, as the company adapts its centralized finance approach to a post-FTX world. Ledn has done a brisk trade in standard loans to date, where bitcoin (BTC) posted as collateral can be further lent out to subsidize the loan. The firm has processed some $635 million of retail loans backed by Bitcoin, and over $4 billion on the institutional side. “The collateral must be held in custody, and that will always be a qualified custodian, whether that is with BitGo, or one of our banking or credit fund partners,” said Ledn co-founder Mauricio Di Bartolomeo in an interview. “This is the first time this type of loan, which is done through a centralized entity that can offer 24 hour disbursements, is being offered outside the U.S. to international customers.” Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

If you have ever wondered what the minds behind the biggest hardware wallet are like, this is for you. What an amazing conversation with Ian Rogers, CXO at Ledger . We dove into their newest kid on the block, Ledger Stax. In this video we get our first hand-on with the device as it hits the mitts of the early adopters. From Ledger: Web3 is all about digital freedom. But with freedom comes responsibility. Put simply, a crypto wallet is an interface that allows you to access and manage your funds on a blockchain. It acts as a sort of control panel, showing you exactly how much crypto you have. Plus, it allows you to communicate with the blockchain, sending and receiving valuable digital assets. You might say that your crypto wallet is the bridge between you and your crypto funds on the blockchain. However, despite the name, a crypto wallet does not contain your coins or tokens – those stay on the blockchain itself. Rather, its purpose is to secure the all-important private keys that allow you to access your blockchain address, and everything stored there. To understand how that works, let’s first look at what a crypto wallet is for. Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come! Subscribe and prepare for the new world.

This company is one of the OG in the industry. I really enjoyed this conversation with Daniel Fogg, CEO at RootstockLabs . We met at the recent Consensus conference in Austin. Their combination of history with Bitcoin and what they are doing to build decentralized applications by bringing Ethereum smart contracts to Bitcoin. This will only better grow the ecosystem for years to come. From the company: RootstockLabs is led by our mission to give developers the tools to build on Bitcoin, support the growth of the Rootstock ecosystem, and expand the frontiers of decentralized technology. Our History In 2009, Bitcoin made financial transactions without intermediaries possible for the first time, treating all users as equals. From early in its journey, members of RootstockLabs were already contributing to Bitcoin’s development. In 2015, the Rootstock Whitepaper was published by a group of Argentinian engineers and entrepreneurs as a way to solve real problems with an economy that was failing them. Launched as the first Bitcoin sidechain, Rootstock brought Ethereum’s smart contract capabilities to Bitcoin for the first time, while making transactions cheaper, faster, and more scalable. In 2017, RootstockLabs was born from our belief that Rootstock would be critical for Bitcoin to reach civilization scale. In 2019, we launched the Rootstock Infrastructure Framework (RIF), a set of decentralized protocols that make it easier, faster and more rewarding for developers to build cutting edge products and services on Bitcoin using Rootstock. Today, Rootstock is home to a thriving ecosystem of apps and services that are cryptographically, philosophically and economically aligned to Bitcoin. RootstockLabs exists to serve the growing community building on Bitcoin using Rootstock and RIF technology. Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

Today we dive into the implications, considerations, and possibilities of open-source generative AI systems! One question that looms for many is could Open-source AI help, hinder or simple coexist with a closed system. As you likely know open-sourced approaches, have democratized access to software, ensured transparency, and improved security for decades, but can it have a similar impact on AI? My fantastic guests today are Alison Smith, Director of Generative AI, and Geoff Schaefer, Chief Technologist and lead of Booz Allen’s responsible AI practice. The goal of the discussion was to dissect the balance between collaboration and control, legal ramifications, ethical considerations, and innovation barriers as the AI industry seeks to democratize the development of large language models.

This was an extremely refreshing conversation with Anurag Dhingra, Chief Technology Officer and Head of Engineering at Webex by Cisco. He has a deeply technical background and has risen through the ranks to focus on the importance about generative AI in the workplace. In today’s tech-dependent world, Cisco notes the importance of delivering tech with integrity and purpose, and the need to understand and account for both the "benefits and bewares" across privacy, security and human rights. It is important for organizations to consider the important risks and issues and create a corporate culture that embraces generative AI ethics. We delved into how companies can encourage their employees to embrace generative AI and he explains the “benefits and bewares”. Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

This was an amazing conversation with Tobias Dengel, President of WillowTree . We deep dive into the impact of voice on all digital technology both now and what is right around the corner. This is weighty stuff. Dengel has a fascinating argument that voice technology is poised to drastically alter the way we live and how companies do business. He says it’s a shift as fundamentally important as mobile a decade ago and the Internet in the late ’90s. Dengel is at the forefront of this breakthrough and works with some of the best-known brands in the world such as T Mobile, Mastercard, Capital One, HBO, Fox, and more, designing and developing their websites, apps, internal systems and voice interfaces. He understands voice technology's profound, wide-ranging implications for every industry and counsels leaders about how their companies must adapt to the coming age of voice. During a brief, Dengel can explain how the “voice-first” experience is becoming part of the global technology mainstream, exploring the ways voice will do a better job of serving basic human needs like speed, safety, inclusion, and more. His book, The Sound of the Future: The Coming Age of Voice Technology, is out now. Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come! Subscribe and prepare for the new world.
