Marcin - Co-founder and GTM lead at Redstone, crypto veteran since 2017 with background in quantitative economics. Previously worked at Google Cloud before founding Redstone in 2020.The Oracle Infrastructure RevolutionRedstone's Modular Architecture Redstone built a fundamentally different oracle system designed for scalability from day one. Unlike traditional models that were difficult to scale across networks and assets, Redstone uses a modular architecture with four modules—keeping three off-chain to minimize integration complexity. This design enables rapid deployment across new blockchains and virtual machines.Multi-Chain Pioneer* First oracle on many non-EVM networks including TON (Telegram), Starknet, and Fuel VM* Strategic expansion philosophy: "Go where people want us, not where we force ourselves"* 75% of company are engineers, maintaining 100% reliability with zero mispricing incidentsWhy Solana, Why NowPerfect Timing Convergence Redstone's Solana launch aligned with a critical market moment. Their partnership with Securitize to serve major tokenized funds (BlackRock BUIDL, VanEck, Apollo, etc.) coincided with Solana's emerging RWA momentum through protocols like Camino, Drift, and Jupiter.Foundation Support Meeting Lily (Solana Foundation director) at Binance Blockchain Week in Dubai catalyzed the expansion, providing technical resources and ecosystem connections for smooth integration.Real-World Assets ExplainedTwo Flagship Products* Tokenized Treasury Bills (T-Bills)* Low-risk, yield-bearing government securities* Principle should always appreciate (barring systemic USD issues)* Considered equivalent to cash in accounting (0-3 month bills)* Apollo's Diversified Credit Fund (Tokenized as ACRE)* Private credit outside traditional banking system* Example: Entrepreneur needs $10M for factory railway, banks reject due to complexity* Apollo intermediates: lenders provide capital at 8%, borrowers pay 12%, Apollo manages 4% spread* Involves real risk of default, but diversified across 100-1000 loansAccess Revolution* Traditional minimum: $5-10 million* Tokenized minimum: $50,000 (100x reduction in barrier to entry)* Global accessibility without complex traditional finance onboardingThe Technical Innovation: sACRESecurity vs. Utility Challenge ACRE is a security token, making it non-transferable and unsuitable for DeFi liquidations. Securitize created an elegant solution:* sACRE: Non-security wrapper around ACRE* Enables DeFi integration while maintaining regulatory compliance* Liquidators interact only with sACRE, never touching the underlying security* Vault system allows redemption back to USDC when neededDeFi Use Cases and Looping StrategiesThe Looping Mechanism* Deposit $1M worth of sACRE as collateral* Borrow $500K USDC (50% LTV for safety margin)* Buy more sACRE with borrowed USDC* Repeat process until hitting minimum investment thresholds* Amplify exposure while maintaining liquidation safetyRisk Considerations* Platform risk (Drift/Camino vulnerabilities)* Asset price risk (private credit can decline unlike T-Bills)* Liquidation risk if looped too aggressively* Need for proper risk management and position sizingInstitutional Adoption PathwayBaby Steps Philosophy Unlike crypto's "10x or bust" mentality, institutions take measured approaches:* Current: Basic tokenization and custody* Next: Simple lending and structured products* Future: On-chain hedge funds and complex derivativesBenefits Driving Adoption* Broader Access: Geographic and capital barriers removed* Secondary Liquidity: Instant swaps vs. 90-day redemption periods* DeFi Composability: Integration with lending, looping, structured products* Transparency: On-chain visibility vs. opaque traditional systemsMarket Lessons and Risk ManagementLearning from Terra/Anchor* Size caps prevent systemic overheating* Transparency requirements for risk assessment* Multiple audits and conservative approaches* Recognition that 20% yields were unsustainableCurrent Systemic Risks* Staking derivatives pose the largest potential systemic risk* Liquid staking tokens widely used as collateral across DeFi* Any major exploit could cascade across ecosystemFuture RoadmapImmediate Developments* Additional Solana-native stablecoin feeds* More yield-bearing asset integrations* Jupiter's "Drip/Plant" lending protocol (partnership with Ethereum's Fluid)Long-term Vision* Yield-bearing stablecoins as mass adoption driver* 4-6% yields as the "sweet spot" for user interest* Cross-chain collaborations and composability* Gradual expansion of on-chain institutional productsBuilder Ecosystem* Testing available at app.redstone.finance (Push → Solana)* Open communication channels via Telegram/Discord* Custom data feed development for specific use casesThe Bigger PictureAdoption Paradigm Shift Traditional crypto adoption focused on retail users buying NFTs and meme coins. RWA adoption brings institutional capital seeking familiar products with blockchain benefits—better access, liquidity, and composability.Global Financial Rails Redstone's vision extends beyond individual assets to creating seamless global financial infrastructure. Current traditional systems are siloed by country/region, requiring inefficient bridges. Blockchain technology enables truly global, instantaneous settlement.Competitive Collaboration The Jupiter-Fluid partnership exemplifies healthy ecosystem growth—established players collaborating rather than zero-sum competing, recognizing the early-stage nature of the overall market.

Our guest in this episode is Mike Wittenstein, the founder of Storyminers and a brilliant strategist who helps leaders become true architects of their future. Mike masterfully blends the art of deep listening with the science of new technology to forge innovative paths forward. In our fascinating conversation, he explains how we can use AI as a powerful co-pilot, not to diminish our humanity, but to amplify our strategic thinking and create even deeper connections.Key points discussed include:* Use AI to handle analysis, freeing you for genuine, heart-to-heart conversations with clients and colleagues.* Your greatest differentiator in the age of AI is simply becoming more authentically you through deeper self-knowledge.* Turn AI into your personal coach to mindfully track your evolution and accelerate your personal and professional growth.Listen to the podcast to find out more.Innovabiz Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Show Notes from this episode with Mike Wittenstein, StoryminersIt was a genuine pleasure to welcome Mike Wittenstein, the founder of Storyminers, back to the Innovabuzz podcast. So much has happened in the world since our last conversation in episode 532. Back then, we explored how powerful stories grow from deep listening, which feels like the perfect foundation for what we discussed this time: how to apply that same human-centered philosophy in the rapidly expanding world of AI.Mike is approaching this new technological wave not as a simple tool for productivity, but as a way to fundamentally improve the creative and strategic work that leaders do. He shared his belief that in a world changing so quickly, executives can no longer get by on just setting new target numbers. They must become true "architects," as he puts it, who can clearly define and envision the future. It's a call to elevate our thinking, and he's using AI to help chart the course.The Grand Experiment: An End-to-End Consulting Journey with an AI Co-pilotMike recently put this philosophy to the ultimate test by running an entire consulting engagement, from the very first client meeting to the final deliverables, using ChatGPT Pro as his partner. He kicked things off with a crucial step: complete transparency. He informed his client that he would be using the tool extensively but also promised that his own expertise and experience would touch every single word of the final output, ensuring accountability and quality.The results of this experiment were remarkable. The AI became the project's perfect "collector of all the information," creating an infallible memory that got smarter and more fine-tuned with every interaction. This new process allowed him and his client to accomplish five full iterations of their strategy in the same amount of calendar time it would normally take to do just one. More than the efficiency, Mike noted he had much higher confidence in the work because he essentially had "hundreds of co-thinkers" contributing to the process.The "Eye to Eye, Heart to Heart" Conversation, Amplified by AIPerhaps the most compelling outcome was a beautiful paradox: using a machine for the analytical heavy lifting actually paved the way for deeper human connection. Mike described how he could feed conversation transcripts to his AI and ask it to extract to-dos, pinpoint moments where someone had a change of heart, or highlight key themes. This freed him from the burden of being a constant, meticulous note-taker during meetings.By offloading that task, he could be fully present with his client, engaging in the kind of "honest eye to eye, heart to heart conversation" that is so often lost in the shuffle of agendas and action items. It's a powerful testament to how technology, when used thoughtfully, can remove distractions and allow us to focus on the genuine dialogue where the most profound strategic insights are born.The AI Toolkit: Genius Hacks for Traffic Jams, Doctor's Visits, and MeetingsMike is a fountain of practical, real-world applications for AI that go far beyond writing emails. He shared a brilliant hack involving the "Hey, Otter" voice command during meetings. By saying the trigger phrase followed by an instruction, like "soften this language," he could embed prompts directly into the live transcript, creating a ready-made to-do list that saved him hours of searching later.His personal use cases were just as inspiring, demonstrating the sheer versatility of these tools. He turns traffic jams into productive language lessons, practicing his Portuguese with AI coaching him on pronunciation. When he was unwell with pneumonia, he logged all his symptoms and meals, then had the AI generate a concise, one-page brief for the ER doctor, leading to clearer communication and better care.In a Sea of Sameness, Why the Human Element is Your Most Valuable AssetWe also waded into the deeper, more philosophical waters of our AI-driven world. I had made the point that these tools are fed by human knowledge, but Mike offered a gentle and important course correction. He reminded me of the colossal volumes of non-human data being generated daily, from weather patterns to train schedules, meaning the purely human voice is becoming a smaller part of the whole.This led him to a profound conclusion: as our digital lives become noisier and more automated, the authentic human element will become our most cherished and valuable asset. He believes it is our shared responsibility to consciously "put people first" in how we design and use these systems. That mindful distinction, he argues, will set a pattern for others to follow.Your Ultimate Differentiator: Using AI to Simply Become More YouWhen I asked Mike how people can differentiate themselves in an age where everyone has access to AI, his answer was refreshingly simple. It is not about mastering a new technical skill; it is about knowing yourself better and being "more you." The more authentic you can be in your voice, your intent, and your thinking, the more you will naturally stand out.He offered a wonderful reframe, suggesting we use AI not just for output, but for introspection. You can turn it into a personal coach. By telling it what you are working on, whether it is improving your turn-taking in conversations or being a more empathetic leader, you can ask it for feedback on your own progress. It becomes an accountability partner, using your own metrics to help you grow.Your Action Plan: Prompting Your Own Personal EvolutionThis brings us to the core of our conversation. AI can be more than a research assistant or a content creator; it can be a co-thinker, a coach, and a catalyst for our own development. It is a tool that can help us become better, more mindful versions of ourselves.Mike left us with a clear and inspiring call to action. Take a moment to think about your own journey of growth. What are you trying to learn? What path are you on to evolve and become a better you? Once you have that clarity, open your favorite AI tool and start a conversation about it. Ask it to create reminders and help you check in on your progress, and you will be surprised at how it can accelerate your journey.In Summary: My conversation with Mike Wittenstein was a masterclass in how to approach AI with curiosity, intention, and a deep-seated commitment to human connection. His message is that the true power of this technology lies not in its ability to replace us, but in its potential to amplify our best human qualities: our creativity, our strategic thinking, and our capacity for growth.The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are Mike's answers to the questions of our innovation round. Listen to the conversation to get the full scoop.* Most innovative use of AI to enhance human relationships – Using the role-playing tool Yoodli to enhance confidence and build crucial communication skills in a safe, risk-free environment.* Best thing to integrate AI and human connection – Creating a personal brand voice template that ensures your authentic personality and humor shines through in all AI-assisted writing.* Differentiate by leveraging AI – Focus on becoming more authentically yourself and use AI as a personal coach to guide and track that journey of growth.ActionTake a moment to think about the path you are on to become a better, more evolved version of yourself. Write down what you are learning, and then ask your favorite AI tool to create prompts and reminders that will help you mindfully check your progress over time.Reach OutYou can reach out and thank Mike on LinkedIn under his name, Mike Wittenstein, or find him online through his company website.Links* Website – Storyminers* LinkedIn* Twitter – @mikewittenstein* Facebook* Youtube Channel – StoryminersCool Things About Mike* He uses the folksy and memorable adage, "You can't teach a pig to sing... it doesn't work and pisses off the pig." This piece of unexpected, down-to-earth wisdom reveals a humorous, practical side that cuts through the corporate jargon. It's a phrase you don't forget.* He champions bringing a live sketch artist into high-level business strategy sessions. In an era dominated by digital presentations, this dedication to an analog, creative, and deeply human tool is refreshingly unconventional. It shows a commitment to multi-sensory communication that is both cool and highly effective.* His company, Storyminers, has a classic entrepreneurial origin story. He and a friend were in a Starbucks, saw a dramatic headline about mass layoffs in their field, and instead of seeing a crisis, they saw an opportunity and immediately launched their business, successfully landing their first six prospects.Imagine being a part of a select community where you not only have access to our amazing podcast guests, but you also get a chance to transform your marketing and podcast into a growth engine with a human-centered, relationship-focused approach.That's exactly what you'll get when you join the Flywheel Nation Community.Tap into the collective wisdom of high-impact achievers, gain exclusive access to resources, and expand your network in our vibrant community.Experience accelerated growth, breakthrough insights, and powerful connections to elevate your business.ACT NOW – secure your spot and transform your journey today!

In this special encore episode of The Voice of Retail, recorded live at the Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, host Michael LeBlanc is joined by longtime Remarkable Retail #podcast collaborator and retail thought leader Steve Dennis to celebrate the launch of Steve's latest book, Leaders Leap: Transforming Your Company at the Speed of Disruption.Best known for his bestselling book Remarkable Retail, Steve steps outside the retail-specific lens to explore a broader question: Why do leaders and companies fail to transform—even when they know they must? Drawing on personal experiences at iconic retailers like Sears and Neiman Marcus, Steve shares how legacy mindsets, fear of risk, and "timid transformations" can doom even the most well-intentioned strategies. He recalls a pivotal moment at Sears when, after 18 months of strategic planning and board approval, a colleague remarked that the new plan was “not a strategy to win—just a strategy to suck less.”From there, the conversation dives into the key themes of Leaders Leap, including Steve's concept of “leadership mind leaps”—seven fundamental shifts that leaders must make to truly drive meaningful transformation. These include “Crush Your Ego,” “Open the Aperture,” “Edit to Amplify,” “Start with Wow,” “Think Radically,” “Embrace the Risk of Inaction,” and “Accelerate with Urgency.” Each leap challenges conventional leadership norms and encourages leaders to rethink their roles in the face of fast-paced disruption.Steve and Michael discuss why merely optimizing the business model isn't enough in an age defined by exponential change, and how legacy brands can learn from disruptors like Uber, Airbnb, and Netflix—companies that pivoted boldly and often. Using examples from RH (formerly Restoration Hardware) and Vuori, the episode highlights how focus, differentiation, and bold thinking can enable even established players to reinvent themselves.This episode is a masterclass in leadership transformation for retailers and executives across sectors. Whether you're a C-suite veteran, a team leader, or an entrepreneur navigating disruption, this conversation offers both strategic frameworks and personal insight that can help you leap forward, not fall behind. Michael LeBlanc is the president and founder of M.E. LeBlanc & Company Inc, a senior retail advisor, keynote speaker and now, media entrepreneur. He has been on the front lines of retail industry change for his entire career. Michael has delivered keynotes, hosted fire-side discussions and participated worldwide in thought leadership panels, most recently on the main stage in Toronto at Retail Council of Canada's Retail Marketing conference with leaders from Walmart & Google. He brings 25+ years of brand/retail/marketing & eCommerce leadership experience with Levi's, Black & Decker, Hudson's Bay, CanWest Media, Pandora Jewellery, The Shopping Channel and Retail Council of Canada to his advisory, speaking and media practice.Michael produces and hosts a network of leading retail trade podcasts, including the award-winning No.1 independent retail industry podcast in America, Remarkable Retail with his partner, Dallas-based best-selling author Steve Dennis; Canada's top retail industry podcast The Voice of Retail and Canada's top food industry and one of the top Canadian-produced management independent podcasts in the country, The Food Professor with Dr. Sylvain Charlebois from Dalhousie University in Halifax.Rethink Retail has recognized Michael as one of the top global retail experts for the fifth year in a row, the National Retail Federation has designated Michael as on their Top Retail Voices for 2025, Thinkers 360 has named him on of the Top 50 global thought leaders in retail, RTIH has named him a top 100 global though leader in retail technology and Coresight Research has named Michael a Retail AI Influencer.

In this episode, Cassandra chats with Author and Transformation Coach, Dr. Gertrude Lyons on how to rewrite the mother code — they dive into the cosmic codes we can unlock when we tap into our own ‘mother energy' and both mother ourselves internally as well as our loved ones, community and world externally. It's a powerful and intimate chat where Cassandra also shares never before heard insights on her own sacred home birth journey to becoming a mother as well. In Rewrite the Mother Code: From Sacrifice to Stardust - A Cosmic Approach to Motherhood, Dr. Gertrude Lyons challenges limiting beliefs and expands the concepts around what it is to be a mother.Throughout her book, Gertrude blurs the lines that pigeonhole women into limited roles that ultimately disempower them. Rather than operating within a narrow conception of what mothering is, she invites readers to open themselves up to what is possible and see the truth: That all women mother, and that mother energy is accessible to all of us—including men.Rewrite the Mother Code is a celebration of motherhood, bringing spirituality and community back into the experience and empowering women to be what they truly are—the ultimate creators of their lives.

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast! On this episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon and Purple Patch Fitness Coach Max Gering discuss the case of David, a 52-year-old father and IRONMAN aspirant with limited training time. David's initial marathon training was rigid and stressful, affecting his family life. The team at Purple Patch adapted his training to a dynamic, flexible schedule, focusing on hydration, sleep, and post-workout fueling. They deferred his Ironman to five months later, allowing him to build a performance base. David's training included a mix of strength, running, and biking, with key sessions planned in advance. He successfully completed his IRONMAN in 12 hours, demonstrating the effectiveness of their integrated approach.
