Pismo Beach Today 04/27/2025 12p: Jeff Buckingham from Astound Business Solutions is Anita's guest this week. Produced by Jim Richards

Filip Baturan is the CEO of Tanari – a decentralized finance application suite that's built on top of Citrea. With it, bitcoiners can enjoy the features and user experience from banking applications such as Revolut... but within a self-custodial and sovereign environment, where the user sets the rules. The discussion centers around Tanari's vision to make Bitcoin more useful and replace the current financial system, contrasting it with projects that merely embed Bitcoin into existing structures. Baturan explains that Tanari aims to deliver on Bitcoin's promise of self-custody and financial system replacement, drawing inspiration from the ideal financial system rather than specific products like Revolut. We talk about Tanari's features: including secure Bitcoin storage, spending capabilities, and integration with the Bitcoin ecosystem (Citrea, Bitcoin mainnet, Lightning Network). The platform prioritizes ease of use, employing Face ID/fingerprint authentication and social recovery methods. The interview also covers the potential for financial primitives like lending, borrowing, and Bitcoin-backed stablecoins, all within a transparent framework. The discussion also addresses the challenges of balancing user-friendliness with privacy and security, particularly regarding usernames and potential transaction traceability. Filip Baturan emphasizes Tanari's commitment to open-source principles, sustainable business models, and integration with other Citrea applications. The interview concludes with Filip sharing his background in ZK rollups on Ethereum and his enthusiasm for building on Bitcoin with Citrea, highlighting the unique opportunities presented by this technology. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Time stamps: 00:00:53 - Introducing Filip Baturan 00:02:04 - Tanari's Origin and Citrea 00:05:30 - Ease of Use and Recovery Methods 00:08:20 - Tanari's Features 00:11:04 - Open Sourcing and Fees 00:12:19 - Citrea Integration and Usernames 00:15:24 - On-Chain Interoperability 00:17:19 - Lightning Network Integration 00:19:02 - Business Solutions and Competitive Advantages 00:21:22 - Custody and Decentralization 00:24:48 - Reputation and Social Media Integration 00:29:22 - Filip's Background 00:37:53 - Scalability and Settlement Time 00:41:44 - Trade-offs and Self-Ownership 00:48:00 - Swapping Services 00:51:46 - Future of Bitcoin and Tanari 01:02:10 - Tanari's Name and Meaning

Matt Leta is a Polish-born entrepreneur, digital artist, and AI innovator. A gifted but rebellious student, he discovered his passion for coding at age 10 and later explored architecture and music. At 19, he founded Dropper, a mobile-first platform for artists, which grew to 250,000 users before securing seven-figure funding and moving to California. ⁣ Anticipating the remote work revolution, Matt launched multiple ventures, including Table, but faced challenges, including a hostile takeover. After stepping away, he traveled the world, founded Fukui Cool, a successful digital agency, and embraced a nomadic lifestyle. ⁣ In 2023, he pivoted to AI-driven professional services, building FutureWorks, which optimizes business operations through AI. His book, The Leap Guide, became a bestseller, and his upcoming release, 100x (April 2025), focuses on AI-driven scaling and efficiency. Matt continues to drive innovation, challenging traditional consulting models with AI-powered solutions.

Send us a textIn our latest episode, guided by Kaleem Clarkson and guest co-host Josh Morse, we dive deep into the fascinating path of Joshua Parkinson, founder of Post Planner, a SaaS platform revolutionizing social media management. From street performer to philosopher to tech entrepreneur, Joshua's journey embodies adaptability, creativity, and resilience. This conversation explores his unconventional path, philosophies on work and leadership, and strategies for building a thriving remote-first business in the digital age.Joshua's story begins with a degree in philosophy, which continues to shape his worldview. These academic interests fueled his creativity during a transformative period living in Europe, where he supported himself by rapping on the streets. This phase, filled with spontaneity and cultural immersion, also brought personal growth and love—it was during this time that he met his French wife.Flash-forward to 2009, when Joshua embarked on his entrepreneurial journey with the inception of Post Planner. Inspired by the rise of social media platforms like Facebook, he identified a gap in the market for scheduling tools tailored to marketers. What began as a suite of Facebook apps quickly evolved into a flagship product, now serving businesses across eight social platforms, with Facebook remaining a core focus.A significant part of Post Planner's success lies in Joshua's ability to forge meaningful partnerships. Early on, he collaborated with Slav, a Bulgarian developer who built the platform's first version. This partnership not only provided technical expertise but also demonstrated the value of leveraging global talent. Today, Post Planner's development team remains based in Bulgaria, a testament to the enduring impact of this early collaboration.Post Planner's innovative approach to work centers on asynchronous communication, offering a refreshing alternative to traditional, meeting-heavy environments. By minimizing interruptions and embracing tools like Slack, the fully remote team maintains a strong focus on output while preserving work-life balance. This model eliminates time zone conflicts—like late-night calls for overseas colleagues—and replaces micromanagement with trust and autonomy.Joshua, as the company's founder, champions this method, driven by his distaste for inefficient synchronous workflows. While acknowledging initial concerns about team cohesion, he highlights how written communication fosters thoughtful contributions and builds a culture of autonomy. Employees are free to balance personal and professional priorities without rigid oversight, fostering loyalty and engagement. For startups, he argues, this flexible model reduces costs, unlocks global talent, and drives efficiency—key advantages in today's remote-first world.Discover how Joshua's philosophical roots and global experiences shaped his approach to entrepreneurship. Hear insights into Post Planner's innovative asynchronous work model and learn how he leverages global talent to build a culture of trust and autonomy. Tune in to hear how Joshua's journey can inspire your own path and transform your approach to work and leadership!

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop chats with Ian Mason, who works on architecture and delivery of AI and ML solutions, including LLMs and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). They explore topics like the evolution of knowledge graphs, how AI models like BERT and newer foundational models function, and the challenges of integrating deterministic systems with language models. Ian explains his process of creating solutions for clients, particularly using RAG and LLMs to support automated tasks, and discusses the future potential of AI, contrasting the hype with practical use cases. You can find more about Ian on his LinkedIn profile.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:32 Understanding Knowledge Graphs02:03 Hybrid Systems and AI Models03:39 Philosophical Insights on AI05:01 RAG and Knowledge Graph Integration07:11 Challenges in AI and Knowledge Graphs11:40 Multimodal AI and Future Prospects13:44 Artificial Intelligence vs. Artificial Linear Algebra17:50 Silicon Valley and AI Hype30:44 Defining AGI and Embodied Intelligence32:29 Potential Risks and Mistakes of AI Agents35:04 The Role of Human Oversight in AI38:00 Understanding Vector Databases43:28 Building Solutions with Modern Tools46:52 The Future of Solution Development47:43 Personal Journey into Coding57:25 The Importance of Practical Learning59:44 Conclusion and Contact InformationKey InsightsThe evolution of AI models: Ian Mason discusses how foundational models like BERT have been overtaken by newer, more capable language models, which can perform tasks that once required multiple models. He highlights that while earlier models like BERT still have their uses, foundational models have simplified and expanded AI's capabilities.The role of knowledge graphs: Knowledge graphs provide structured, deterministic ways of handling data, which can complement language models. Ian explains that while LLMs are great for articulating responses based on large datasets, they lack the ability to handle logical and architectural connections between pieces of information, which knowledge graphs can provide.RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems: Ian delves into how RAG systems help refine AI output by feeding language models relevant data from a pre-searched database, reducing hallucinations. By narrowing down the possible answers and focusing the LLM on high-quality data, RAG ensures more accurate and contextually appropriate responses.Limitations of language models: While LLMs can generate plausible-sounding responses, they lack deep architectural understanding and can easily hallucinate or provide inaccurate results without carefully curated input. Ian points out the importance of combining LLMs with structured data systems like knowledge graphs or vector databases to ground the output.Vector databases and embeddings: Ian explains how vector databases, which use embeddings and cosine similarity, are crucial for narrowing down the most relevant data in a RAG system. This modern approach outperforms traditional keyword searches by considering semantic meaning rather than just text similarity.AI's impact on business solutions: The conversation highlights how AI, particularly through tools like RAG and LLMs, can streamline business processes. For instance, Ian uses AI to automate customer service email drafting, breaking down complex customer queries and retrieving the most relevant answers, significantly improving operational efficiency.The future of AI in business: Ian believes AI's real-world impact will come from its integration into larger systems rather than revolutionary standalone changes. While there is significant hype around AGI and other speculative technologies, the focus for the near future should be on practical applications like automating business workflows, where AI can create measurable value without over-promising its capabilities.
