Back in early 2022, our friends Alex and Liam were in town doing a few stand-up comedy shows. We had them on our podcast, we did their podcast, and from that the advent of the guest segments were born.

In the early days guests ran the gamut from musicians to artists to athletes and everything in between, usually with a few tech-relevant segments.

Now, you can expect conversations related to things like data, blockchain, Web3, SEO, digital marketing, entrepreneurial health and wellbeing, and much more, all from experts in their respective fields.
