In this episode, Dex unpacks how early conditioning shapes what we see as “truth,” and how those truths quietly drive our adult stress, dissatisfaction, and burnout. You'll hear how our sense of being “not good enough” often began as a misguided attempt to stay loved and safe—and how that same belief now keeps us disconnected from joy and ease.Dex shares a personal story about a moment of beauty that felt strangely unsatisfying—and how that revealed a buried old belief still running the show. He explores how to unlearn those inherited “truths,” and why the road back to peace and performance begins with something very simple: unconditional self-approval.You'll Learn:Why there's no absolute truth—only perception.How early experiences form the foundation of “who we think we are.”The hidden link between self-judgment and burnout.Why self-love isn't indulgent—it's essential.A simple practice for feeling good enough right now.Quote from the Episode:“Not good enough was never the truth—about me, or about you.”Resources Mentioned:Joy on Demand by Chade-Meng TanIf You're Struggling:If you feel stuck in stress, isolation, or the quiet shame of not being enough—come talk to Dex. He'll teach you how to believe in your own goodness again. That's where everything changes.

Mert Mumtaz, CEO and co-founder of Helius, reveals why he's betting everything on privacy, Solana infrastructure, and long-term conviction plays like Zcash and Hyperliquid.While most crypto investors chase short-term gains, Mert operates on 3-5 year time horizons, building core infrastructure for Solana and defending privacy as crypto's most unsolved problem. From explaining how connectivity and reflexivity drive extreme price movements to sharing how a Slavic girlfriend changed his approach to capturing value, this conversation goes deep.THE SHIFT NEWSLETTER
This week on So What Now?, your favorite duo dive headfirst into the tech takeover… and wrap things up with a dose of relationship drama you won't see coming. We kick things off with the viral story of two Harvard students who built a braiding robot designed to save time and reduce hand strain. But the big question remains: Is technology helping our culture or hijacking it? The ladies unpack what innovation means when tradition is on the line. Then, things heat up when Amazon's plan to replace 500,000+ warehouse jobs with robots comes up. Carla's all in on progress ("Let's move forward already!"), while Dex worries about what automation means for working-class communities. Naturally, it turns into one of their classic So What Now? showdowns — equal parts smart debate and sisterly shade. Next, would you let a human-like robot move in? For just a $200 deposit, Neo the home robot could be your new roomie. Carla's ready to swipe her card and put Neo on babysitting duty, while Dex is already plotting her escape route. The back-and-forth is pure comedy gold. The episode closes with a gut-punch of a listener letter from a woman struggling with her partner. The advice was unanimous and unfiltered: "Girl, break up with him!" Hit play for laughs, debates, and maybe a few side-eyes at the robots trying to take over our lives — only on So What Now?

Dave breaks down Cap's three-sided marketplace connecting stablecoin users, market makers (operators), and risk takers.

Send us a textA blue Mercedes is wrecked, the bride is gone, and every Carrington instinct goes into overdrive. We open season five of Dynasty with a true gut-punch: Fallon disappears on a stormy night, Alexis faces a fast-tracked bail hearing, and Blake—silk robe and all—reckons with a crumbling empire he swears he can rebuild. The stakes feel higher, the stakes feel messier, and that chaos is exactly why this hour sings We dig into the power struggle around Alexis' freedom, where Dex acts while Steven and Adam bristle about control. Then Steven does something few heirs in soapland ever do: he follows the money. A quiet audit at Colby Co. leads to a $5 million trail through Hong Kong and a confrontation that explodes the line between family loyalty and corporate sabotage. It's not just drama; it's a case study in reputation, governance, and how fast trust evaporates when the numbers don't lie. Balancing the heat is pure glamour: Dominique Deveraux plotting a La Mirage showcase and Brady Lloyd—played with velvet cool by Billy Dee Williams—turning a simple booking into a power move. The lavender suites, the asymmetrical couture, the wet bar glow—every detail is strategy, every entrance a negotiation. Krystal counters Blake's despair with a clear-eyed reminder that the operator matters more than the cash, framing the season as a comeback story waiting to be funded. And just when the house finds its footing, Sammy Jo pulls an airport shocker that jolts custody, credibility, and the fragile truce between brothers.If you love Dynasty's cocktail of boardroom blows, family betrayals, and glamorous scheming, this recap is your front-row seat. We unpack the missing-person mystery, the bail politics, the Hong Kong money trail, and the music-meets-real-estate play at La Mirage—then leave you with burning questions about Fallon's fate and whether Alexis can beat the case without burning every bridge. Hit follow, share with a fellow soap lover, and tell us: whose side are you on this season?

This week, Dex spills all the details of her anti-aging skincare routine — and let's just say, it's not for anyone on a budget. If you thought that was crazy, wait till you hear her skincare goals inspired by Paris Hilton. From luxury serums to three-hour facials, Dex already has her regimen mapped out for when she hits that “Kim K money” era. Carla can't stop laughing (or calculating the price tag). Then, in the spirit of Halloween, we get into some real-life scary stories. We unpack the shocking case of Sakiyna Thompson, recently convicted of murdering her romantic rival, Kayla Hodgson, in a cross-state crime of passion. Carla, who shares her own cringe-worthy tales of confronting “the other woman” back in the day — and let's just say, it didn't go as planned. Finally, things take a futuristic (and spicy) turn as we react to OpenAI's bombshell announcement: starting December 2025, ChatGPT will allow erotic content for verified adult users. Sam Altman says it's all about user autonomy and responsible AI — but we aren't so sure. Will this new feature empower women or open a whole new can of digital drama?

Toby Gilbert is a Co-Founder at PACT Swap, a cross-chain DEX built on Coinweb. Pact Swap enables trading of native Bitcoin, TRON, and other assets across incompatible chains - without bridges, wrapped tokens, or external validators. Why you should listen PactSwap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Coinweb PACT framework that enables cross-chain swaps of digital assets without using traditional bridges or wrapped tokens. It's designed to let users trade native assets directly across multiple blockchains in a decentralized, non-custodial environment. The platform supports trading between major chains including Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Litecoin, TRON, Dogecoin, and Polygon. Its system uses collateralized reactive smart contracts to coordinate trades across otherwise incompatible blockchains. This approach allows PactSwap to execute bridgeless cross-chain swaps efficiently, aiming for high capital efficiency and lower transaction fees than conventional cross-chain bridges. The goal of PactSwap is to combine the liquidity and trading depth of centralized exchanges with the transparency and security of decentralized finance. By removing the need for wrapped tokens and third-party bridges, PactSwap aims to reduce costs and risks for users, offering faster and more secure asset swaps with up to 95% lower fees compared to older cross-chain solutions.

Most leaders think they're holding it all together under duress. But often what they're really doing is gripping the steering wheel of a car that's already crashed.Control feels powerful, but it's actually a symptom of fear. When fear runs the show, we end up managing people instead of leading them, and circumstances instead of ourselves. We seek approval and safety in all the wrong places, forgetting that real leadership begins inside us.In this episode, Dex unpacks why our craving for control is so strong, how it quietly fuels burnout, and what leadership looks like when we stop trying to control the wrong thing.You'll learn:Why fear and control always travel togetherHow perfectionism, micromanagement, and the need to be right drain your energyThe hidden costs: lost trust, disengagement, quiet quitting, and team dysfunctionWhat true control really is — agency over your inner stateHow to lead through curiosity, psychological safety, warmth, and mentoringDex shares stories from his early leadership days, lessons learned from high-achieving professionals, and practical ways to reclaim your energy and influence without resorting to control.If you've been exhausted from trying to hold everything together, this episode will help you reclaim your power and start leading in a way that actually works — for you, your team, and your career.Chat with expert stress coach Dex AI at https://dexrandall.com Send us a text----------------------------------- Burnout Resources:Get 1-on-1 burnout recovery coaching at https:/mini.dexrandall.comFor even more TIPS see FACEBOOK: @coachdexrandallINSTAGRAM: @coachdexrandallLINKEDIN: @coachdexrandallX: @coachdexrandallSee https://linktr.ee/coachdexrandall for all links
Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, Helius's Mert returns to defend Zcash's ~400% run and the “encrypted Bitcoin” framing, digging into anonymity sets, privacy UX, and why Bitcoiners are so riled up. We then tackle the Tempo bombshell — a ~$500M raise at a ~$5B pre, Stripe/Paradigm ties, Dankrad's move from the EF — alongside Péter Szilágyi's letter on EF culture and compensation: public goods priesthood vs. market incentives. Next up: Mert's “USD Manlet” rethink (why coordinating Solana around one stable is hard, and why pushing USDT to compete with USDC may be the sharper play) plus a gripe-fueled tour of today's DeFi trading UX. Finally, an AWS-outage autopsy: Coinbase downtime, Base sequencer hiccups, Infura/MetaMask ripple effects, and the case for multi-region/multi-cloud redundancy when real money — and sometimes safety — are on the line. And no, despite the memes, Mert is not launching a DEX.

a16z crypto's CTO Eddy Lazzarin and partner Daren Matsuoka return for our annual State of Crypto to map where 2025 really is on the curve: a price–innovation cycle poised to hand the baton back to builders, Bitcoin holding ~50% share, and 70M people now using crypto on-chain out of 716M owners. We dig into why institutions are actually shipping (not just PR), how stablecoins now rival Visa-scale volumes and sit among top U.S. Treasury holders, why DEX spot share near 20% changes price discovery, and how perps, infra throughput, and fee-switch economics are reshaping revenue across chains. Plus: prediction markets' second act, the AI×crypto handshake (agents, proof-of-humanity, IP), and Bitcoin's long-dated quantum dilemma. ---

Gold and silver futures plummeted by the most in many years on Tuesday, in a selloff that some analysts said was a function of profit-taking but may not mark an end to a rally that has lifted prices to all-time highs.~This episode is sponsored by Tangem~Tangem ➜ https://bit.ly/TangemPBNUse Code: "PBN" for Additional Discounts!GUEST: Yonghan Lee, CEO, DenarioDenario $DSC Token Info ➜ https://bit.ly/DenarioDSCDenario website ➜ https://bit.ly/Denariowebsite00:00 intro00:07 Sponsor: Tangem00:35 Silver Retracement01:08 Silver Demand vs Deficit02:22 Silver Supply Crisis03:19 Tokenized Silver Coming04:31 Denario $DSC Silver Token05:47 Delivery & Transparency06:14 How To Buy on Uniswap06:43 Price Calculations07:44 TVL Growth & Cross-Chain Silver08:23 No Recurring Fees08:52 $DSC Coming To CEX's and DEX's09:49 Industrial Supply Partners10:49 Silver Yields Coming11:38 Silver as Legal Tender Catalyst12:45 U.S. vs Swiss Silver14:04 Silver Price Prediction14:55 Tokenization Increasing Silver Adoption16:35 outro#Crypto #Silver #gold ~Final Silver Crash Before Tokenization Rally?
In this week's episode of So What Now?, we dive into parenting highs, lows, and the unexpected in-betweens. Dex kicks things off by sharing her experience at a frat party with Mikaela – the drinks, the vibes, the "what am I doing here?" moments. Meanwhile, Carla continues her fight with the public school system to get the proper support Psalm needs — it's real, it's frustrating, and she doesn't hold back. The convo then takes a sharp (and fuzzy?) turn to Kim Kardashian's latest business move: faux-fur thong panties. Yes, you read that right. They're sold out, and we're asking: What is going on out here?! Wild or genius? Maybe both. We also unpack Kim's recent interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, where she gets vulnerable about co-parenting with Kanye and reflects on choosing a partner who didn't live up to the legacy her own father left. This hit Carla hard, she opens up about the deep guilt she's carrying around the choices she made in her own relationships — especially when it comes to her kids' fathers. It's raw, real, and a reminder that healing isn't linear. The episode closes with a reflective but practical list: 13 decisions to make by 45 so you don't have regrets at 70. From finances to friendships to finally putting yourself first, we break them down and share where we're at on the list. Tune in, laugh, cry, and say “So what now?” with us.

Kain Warwick, founder of Synthetix and Infinex, is returning to Ethereum Layer 1 with a bold new experiment: a perpetuals DEX built directly on mainnet. In this episode, he joins Laura to explain why Synthetix is taking this contrarian step, how its hybrid “optimistic order book” can run efficiently on Ethereum's slower block times, and why he believes the future of trading will move fully on-chain. Warwick also discusses the tradeoffs behind using USDT, what it will take to match centralized exchange performance, and his “super app” vision for how DeFi platforms could finally outcompete CEXs.

Together, they dive into the contrasts and common ground between Monero and Zcash, exploring both the technical and cultural dynamics of the leading privacy coins. Juraj discusses Zcash's growing DEX integrations through Zashi Wallet and Near Intents, while Doug shares his experience with a failed swap attempt. They compare this with Monero's ongoing DEX efforts like Sarai and potential Thorchain integration, highlighting the shared goal of improving usability and interoperability. The two also unpack each project's funding models, mining approaches, and community cultures, debating decentralization, security, and the future of privacy in crypto. Juraj emphasizes that real adoption often depends more on social dynamics than technical merit, and that long-term holders give privacy coins their true value. TIMESTAMPS: Coming soon!
