Anthony Ginsberg, CEO of GinsGlobal Index Fund, recently spoke with Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss recent updates to the firm's Tech Megatrend ETF, a globally diversified fund designed to capture growth across the world's most transformative technology themes. Ginsberg explained that the ETF maintains a global benchmark with just over 50% exposure to the U.S. and nearly 20% to Asia, including China and Japan. The fund spans ten key technology subthemes such as cybersecurity, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and blockchain, providing investors with broad access to multiple innovation-driven sectors. In a significant enhancement, the ETF has now added quantum computing and defense technology to its portfolio. “Quantum is really changing the speed of innovation across industries—from financial services and pharmaceuticals to R&D—helping companies find faster, smarter, and more cost-effective solutions,” Ginsberg said. The fund now includes five quantum-focused companies, each with a minimum market cap of $200 million. The addition of defense technology reflects a growing trend among governments to allocate more of their defense budgets toward cybersecurity and digital defense infrastructure. Ginsberg noted that 1.5% of NATO countries' defense GDP is now being directed toward defense technology initiatives, underscoring the increasing convergence of tech innovation and national security. When discussing performance, Ginsberg pointed to blockchain as the ETF's top performer in 2025 so far, posting gains exceeding 50%, followed by cybersecurity and digital entertainment, each returning around 25–30%. He also highlighted the ETF's diversified structure, distinguishing it from typical U.S.-centric tech funds. “We only have about a 6% weighting in the ‘Magnificent Seven,'” Ginsberg noted, emphasizing the ETF's broader exposure across emerging innovators and lower concentration risk within its top holdings. With these updates, GinsGlobal's Tech Megatrend ETF continues to position itself at the forefront of the global technology evolution, offering investors access to high-growth sectors driving the next wave of digital transformation. #TechMegatrendETF, #AnthonyGinsberg, #FourthIndustrialRevolution, #AI, #Cybersecurity, #CloudComputing, #SocialMedia, #FutureCars, #Robotics, #InterestRateCuts, #Diversification, #GlobalHoldings, #Nasdaq,

Do we shape the future or does it shape us? That's the core question in Brian Solis' new book, Mindshift which provides lessons for corporate executives in transforming leadership and driving innovation. Like so many other futurists, Solis' work focuses on how we can become irreplaceable in the age of AI. Agency still lies with us, he acknowledges. But unless we use that agency to shape the future, Solis warns, then that future will eventually make all of us eminently replaceable. Brian Solis is Head of Global Innovation at ServiceNow.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom podcast, Stewart Alsop speaks with Diego Fernandez, co-creator of QuarkID and the Secretary of Innovation for Buenos Aires. They discuss the future of innovation in Buenos Aires, focusing on how technology can simplify citizen interactions with the government and empower individuals through control over their identity with Web3. The conversation explores the potential of decentralized technologies like blockchain to transform government services and create new opportunities for innovation, especially in Argentina's unique economic landscape. In the episode Stewart forgot the name of something about the innovation of digitizing real world assets in Argentina, see this tweet about the deregulation of warrants so that they can be handled online.

He envisions a "WiFi-like" government where the state's presence is only noticed when something goes wrong, with a primary focus on streamlining interactions between citizens and government through technology.The Role of Web3 in Identity: Web3 technologies, particularly decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and verifiable credentials, are set to revolutionize how individuals manage their identities. With QuarkID, citizens will have control over their digital identities, securely storing documents and credentials on their own devices. This shifts control from centralized entities like governments or tech giants to individuals.Argentina's Economic Resilience: Fernandez expresses optimism about Argentina's future, calling its citizens "economic Navy Seals" due to their experience in dealing with decades of economic instability. He believes that Argentina's hardships have made its population more entrepreneurial, adaptable, and uniquely positioned to embrace blockchain and Web3 technologies to overcome economic challenges.Web3's Impact on Global Financial Systems: The episode highlights how Web3 technologies are poised to disrupt traditional financial systems by enabling peer-to-peer transactions of value and identity. In Argentina, where economic crises have pushed citizens to adopt cryptocurrencies, the use of decentralized financial tools is not only growing but also fostering innovation in industries like tokenization of real-world assets.The Leapfrogging Potential of Argentina: Fernandez believes that Argentina has the potential to "leapfrog" other nations in developing new financial systems and infrastructure based on decentralized technologies. The country's lack of entrenched financial systems, combined with its thriving blockchain ecosystem, provides an opportunity to build future-proof solutions that could serve as a model for other emerging economies.Blockchain Startups Flourishing in Argentina: Argentina has become a hotspot for blockchain innovation, with notable startups like Decentraland, Ripio, and numerous others being created within the country. Fernandez is bullish on the growth of both centralized and decentralized financial products, as well as advancements in deep tech, especially in cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs.Decentralization and Government's Role: Fernandez draws a parallel between the separation of church and state and the future separation of money from the state. He argues that just as governments no longer control religion, they will eventually lose their control over money as decentralized platforms take hold. This change, driven by technological advancements, could fundamentally reshape governance and public services.

Most conversations about AI in talent acquisition focus on efficiencies and automating repetitive tasks. However, we are missing the point if we don't start talking about how AI could help reshape recruiting entirely, making it more efficient but also more effective. Why stop at recruiting? AI could revolutionize work and the whole way we think about careers. The current limitations of our thinking were really brought home to me when I attended the SmartRecruiters Hiring Success conference last week in Amsterdam. An overarching theme was that automation is a given with AI, and we should think much bigger. So, what does this mean for TA strategies, and how can TA Leaders ensure they proactively shape the future direction of recruiting? My guest this week is Brian Solis, Head of Global Innovation at ServiceNow. He is also an internationally renowned digital anthropologist and award-winning author. Brian gave the opening keynote at Hiring Success, and I caught up with him after he left the stage to get his thoughts on the current state of the AI revolution and the future of talent acquisition.  In the interview, we discuss Where is the Gen AI revolution? New behaviors, skills, and expectations How are companies responding?  Empowering people with augmented intelligence How can we think differently? AI-enabled job seekers Using an empathetic lens to identify quick wins Differentiated use cases and transformational initiatives  The importance of the human touch Three things TA leaders should be doing right now What should recruiting look like in five years?
