Nathan Hagarty is a friend I've known for over a decade. We worked together during the early days of my corporate career, sharing beers and banter into the late hours.
Since then, Nathan answered the call to public service. He made the uncommon leap from corporate life to politics. Today, he serves as a Member of Parliament in New South Wales.
We reflect on Nathan's leadership evolution in a wide-ranging conversation on The Proof Of Work Podcast. He shares his unique insights from serving a diverse electorate in Western Sydney.
The years have only deepened my respect for Nathan. His dedication to lifting up his community is admirable as he reminds us that we all have the power to create change with resilience and compassion. I'm honored to reconnect with an old friend who walks the talk.
I hope you'll tune in to hear his story. Too often, we reduce politicians to simplistic symbols. But in this conversation, you'll witness an authentic political leader revealing a nuanced, earnest human behind the persona.

I recently enjoyed having my friend Danny Pantuso on The Proof Of Work podcast. As a venture investor at Decasonic, a Chicago-based VC firm, Danny brought valuable insights into venture capital, web3, and where he sees the most opportunity today.
I was fascinated to hear about Danny's interdisciplinary background in management science and engineering from Stanford, which informs his balanced approach to blending art and science and his adventures in founding and selling a successful startup in Iceland after spurning a safe product management role at Microsoft in Silicon Valley.
We explored provocative ideas around venture capital herd mentality, the limitations of the Fat Protocol thesis, and the exploding creator economy. Danny offered thoughtful insights on maintaining clarity in turbulent times, emphasizing rationality and traction over hockey stick projections and how Chicago's ecosystem differs from Silicon Valley. I particularly appreciated his emphasis on first principles and rationality in decision-making.
Danny offered practical advice for founders, emphasizing traction and de-risking. His emphasis on shipping and getting things done renewed my optimism about the future of web3 venture capital in our rapidly changing world.

Dr. Raul recently came on the Proof Of Work podcast for a thought-provoking discussion exploring topics like technology's impact on society, the essence of being human, innovations in education, geopolitics, and the cyclical nature of civilizations. His perspectives as an academic leader in India spanning technology, business, philosophy, and the human experience offered much food for thought.
Some highlights of our wide-ranging conversation included the culture shock Dr. Raul experienced when he first came to India as a student and his observations about differences in speed and ambition between the Indian and Spanish working environments.
We explored debates like whether corporations genuinely care about ethics versus profits and if social responsibility is just marketing. Dr. Raul outlined an inspiring vision for universities to develop critical thinkers and change-makers rather than focusing narrowly on jobs and placements.
Our dialogue touched on technology's impact on human psychology and critical thinking in this distracted age, the inevitability of death and finding meaning and purpose beyond status and wealth, and the origins of universities being knowledge creation and dissemination rather than job training.
I'm grateful Dr. Raul took the time to share his insights on The Proof Of Work Podcast. His perspectives across business, technology, geopolitics, philosophy, and the unfolding of the human condition left me reflecting on many great unsolved mysteries. (00:00) Intro

🚩 Just finished a FIRE chat with my good friend and The DeFi Report Founder, Michael Nadeau, for the third episode of the Proof Of Work podcast. This was a DEEP DIVE into what's happening in the US, where the battle for the future of crypto is being fought RIGHT NOW!
👉🏼 We're talking about:
🅰️ The SEC - Are they the guardians at the gate or the chains stifling innovation?
💢 Outdated regulatory frameworks - How can we adapt our regulatory
frameworks to nurture, not hinder, the crypto industry's growth?
🥊 Coinbase vs. SEC - What's the story behind this David vs. Goliath battle?
⏳ The Howey Test - A tool from the past (1946), still relevant in our digital, decentralized world?
✍️ The insights Michael shared were truly enlightening and I believe they
will be valuable to anyone interested in the future of crypto and its regulation in the US.

👋 Hi folks! Just when you think life can't get any stranger, I find myself on the precipice of the second episode of our Proof Of Work podcast.
💸 Inspired by a top Wall Street BlackRock director (https://lnkd.in/dcKnQkA7) who quit his 💰 $1,000,000 job to chase happiness by starting a $40,000 a year newsletter business, we're venturing into the bewildering labyrinth of our brain chemistry.

👉 Is there a hidden link between our brains and the relentless pursuit of happiness?
👉 Can we decode and control our 'happy chemicals' to cultivate a life brimming with joy?
👉 Are social media likes clandestinely influencing our happiness quotient?
👉 And the million-dollar question: are we fundamentally wired to chase money?
⚡We're bringing together sharp strategic thinking with a dose of
electrifying energy to this enlightening conversation. This isn't just
another chat – it's a discussion that'll challenge your perception of
happiness, wealth, and the mysteries of our brains.
