What does it mean to own something in a world where everything is digital? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Ian Rogers, Chief Experience Officer at Ledger, to unpack the growing importance of digital ownership in the age of AI, blockchains, and digital identity. With more than 6 million devices sold and 20 percent of the world's crypto secured, Ledger has become a trusted name in both consumer and enterprise digital asset security. But this conversation goes far beyond crypto wallets. Ian explains why self-custody matters, how Ledger devices actually work, and what separates them from traditional custodial models. "Giving people the ability to securely own their own digital private property is fundamentally what we're all about," Ian says, breaking down a complex topic in a way that's both clear and urgent. We also talk about the convergence of AI and blockchain, the risks of relying on cloud-based security, and why digital proof and provenance are becoming essential in our online lives. Whether you're just starting out or already immersed in Web3, this is a conversation that connects the dots between identity, security, and personal empowerment. What does responsible digital freedom look like? And are you ready to take ownership? I'd love to hear what you think. Get in touch and let me know what digital ownership means to you today.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”“Life… Liberty… and the pursuit of Happiness.”We published those words 229 years ago when we declared our independence from Britain. That document was the earliest expression of what has come to be known as the American dream.Jefferson's Declaration did not free us from the tyranny of Britain. It merely communicated our collective desire to be unfettered and unrestrained.Do we now feel unfettered and unrestrained? I think not.It seems to me that our current view of the American dream sees raw ambition as “the pursuit of happiness.”Ambition is like sexual hunger. It is satisfied with accomplishment only for a moment, and then the hunger returns. Ambition will lead you to momentary satisfaction, but it will not lead you to happiness.John D. Rockefeller, the world's first billionaire, was worth 1% of the entire U.S. economy when he was asked,“How much money does it take to make a man happy?”Rockefeller answered, “Just a little bit more.”Ambition is never contented.Am I condemning ambition? I promise you that I am not. I am merely pointing out the deep chasm that separates the unending hunger of ambition from the high and lofty contentment of happiness.An old man named Paul wrote a letter to a young man named Timothy 2,000 years ago. Near the end of that letter, Paul wrote about old people and hypocrites and slavery and wealth.Paul then added two sentences that have echoed in my brain for the past 60 years.“To know God and to be deeply contented is the true definition of wealth. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.”Happiness cannot spread its wings while wearing the handcuffs of our ambitions. The shining light of Hope is made of a stronger and happier substance than our dark dreams of future accomplishment.Ambition can bring you recognition, reputation, and riches. But those are no substitute for friendships, family, and contentment; for these are the three strong cords from which happiness is woven.Have you figured it out yet? Happiness is not material. It is relational.With whom do you have a meaningful relationship?Roy H. WilliamsWe have solved the mystery of the roving reporter!The wizard received this email from Italy a couple of days ago:Dear Roy and Pennie,Talya and I found this quaint restaurant with tables in its wine cellar and thought you'd love this place. (I don't drink, but thought it appropriate to pose with a glass of wine — which our son-in-law ordered.) If your future plans bring you to Vincenza, Italy, this is one stop you won't regret. Avital sends her warmest regards.– DEAN(You will find the photo that accompanied this email on the final page of today's rabbit hole. I'm Ian Rogers.)EMAIL NEWSLETTERSign up to receive the Monday Morning Memo in your inbox!Download the PDF "Dictionary of the Cognoscenti of Wizard Academy"RANDOM QUOTE:“As we start looking for the good, our focus automatically is taken off the bad.”- Susan JeffersTHE WIZARD TRILOGY
“If we train our children only to harvest, who will plant the seed?”I wrote those words after contemplating the short-sightedness of so-called, “performance marketing,” on March 11, 2010.“Performance marketing” is the new name for direct response advertising. It works best when it extracts the value from a well-known brand. Its objective is to bring in a lot of money quickly.That is why business owners are attracted to it.But here's the caveat: value cannot be extracted from a brand unless it has first been created. You cannot squeeze a good reputation dry unless you first build a good reputation.Do you see the problem? When you have finally squeezed the last ounce of value from a good reputation, you don't have a good reputation anymore.As I was contemplating that last line I just wrote, the words “extraction of value” popped into my mind. I typed those words into the Google search bar. The AI Overview that appeared at the top of the page whispered to me in a conspiratorial tone: “‘The extraction of value' refers to the process of capturing or appropriating value from other stakeholders, often through exploiting a monopoly or manipulating competitive market processes, rather than creating new value.” – WIKIPEDIAThe eight words that leaped out of the paragraph were, “exploiting… or manipulating… rather than creating new value.”Do you remember that famous scene in the movie There Will Be Blood when Daniel says to Eli,“If you have a milkshake, and I have a milkshake, and I have a straw… There it is. that's the straw, you see? Watch it. Now my straw reaches acroooooooss the room and starts to drink your milkshake. I… drink… your… milkshake! I drink it up!”That is the voice of performance marketing.The healthy alternative to performance marketing is sales activation within a relational ad campaign.Sales activation is like shearing the wool from a sheep. You can do it again and again and the creature is never diminished by it.Performance marketing is like slaughtering that poor sheep, piece by piece. It is painful, and there is nothing left when you are done.I apologize for putting that horrible image into your mind, but we are talking about your business.I'm sorry if I stepped over the line.Roy H. WilliamsYou will find 4 examples of what the wizard calls “sales activation within a relational ad campaign” on the first page of the rabbit hole. I can hear what you are thinking right now. And to that, I say, “You're welcome.” – Indy BeagleRoving reporter Rotbart will be away on a secret mission in Italy for the next two weeks. He didn't tell us exactly what it was, but here are our top 3 guesses. One: He is studying the original manuscripts of Leonardo Da Vinci for a special series of investigative reports to be aired on PBS this autumn. Two: The roving reporter was invited to the Vatican to meet with the Pope. Three: There is no secret mission. He is just eating gelato at a seaside cafe with his lovely wife, Talya, while gazing at the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. We will update you next week when we know more. – Ian Rogers

It takes time to build a brand and find the people who are going to love your music.

How can attention drive value? How to connect the attention economy to the web3 economy?In a world of abundance, our time and focus is probably one of the last items you cannot… scale. Of course, we can publish work, be easy to find, and generate thousands of impressions in seconds. But when do people actually care? When do you care?NFTs have driven a LOT of attention. Whether you might think it's for good or bad reasons- they just have. Either it's because they are scarce, or because they have a purpose, because you value their creators. Or all of the above. And this is why they have value, even if someone thinks they're just another overpriced jpegs.In a symbiotic conversation with Derek Edwards (partner at Collab + Currency and author of a great medium piece on why and how NFTs store value), Ian Rogers deep dives into on the past, present, and future of NFTs and why, pretty soon, everything that can be digital will be digital.

The more value you have, the more malicious actors will try to get it. You already know that if you own more than a couple of small bags of crypto. But imagine you're a company or an organization trying to manage their digital assets at scale.This question arose a couple of years ago. Family offices, hedge funds, custodians, exchanges… They had no idea how to secure their assets (or they would do it from a Ledger Nano S). And even less how to manage them at scale. They needed enterprise-grade security with the right governance layer to operate.A product had to be built. Ledger had to come up with a solution. This is Ledger Enterprise, the industry's best kept secret - for now.In this very special episode of On The Ledger, Ian Rogers gets our Chief Technology Officer Charles and our VP for Business Solutions, Alex Zinder to explain how we intended that solution, everything one can do with it, and why we think that… it's simply the best out there. Not just the more secure. The best. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
My guest on today's podcast is Ian Rogers, the Chief Experience Officer of Ledger. I have to tell you that Ian is one of the nicest people I've met in Web3. He's so passionate about Ledger and the Web3 revolution as a whole and I learned so much from him in this conversation. The most important thing he mentioned several times during our interview was, “if not self-custody, why crypto”. This is such an important message for anyone entering the space. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did

This week I'm speaking with Ian Rogers. As a kid growing up Indiana, Ian's only plan was to smoke weed and ride skateboards for the rest of his life, and while he has managed to accomplish those goals, Ian has also established himself as one of the most influential voices of the digital age. From music, to fashion, to finance his ability to successfully navigate the intersection of human beings and technology is second to none and it is executed with a humility that only the Midwest could produce.It was as a student at Indiana University where his passions for music and computers would collide, resulting in one of the first music streaming platforms, a feat of engineering that he would continue to refine for more than two decades, culminating in the launch of Apple Music in 2015. Seeking new challenges while catering to his preference for discomfort, Ian made his way to LVMH, where he was tasked with digitizing the world's largest luxury conglomerate. After working with names like Louis Vuitton, Celine, and Dior, Ian found himself immersed in cryptocurrency, NFT's, and digital security with French start up, Ledger.While Ian's timing has certainly contributed to his wins, it is his curiosity and belief in the mission at hand that has fueled much of his success, and even some of his failures. During the course of our conversation, we discuss the importance of knowing when to leave the party, the niche culture of the Internet, and why Spotify's Discover Weekly recommendations are so good.It is my pleasure to present Ian Rogers on The Days Between..
In the last episode before we hit Ledger Op3n, we are very pleased to meet with a serial Web entrepreneur and early stage investor in companies such as Twitter, Facebook & Square to name a few. Today he's considered to be one of the leading voices in Web3, Co-founder and CEO of Proof and a partner at True Ventures, you might've guessed it already, this time we have Kevin Rose on the show, in discussion with a man you surely know by now, Ian Rogers, Ledger's Chief Experience officer. In less than an hour, they will cover how to shift from NFT curiosity to a podcast, from a podcast to a rock solid collective built with communities rather than VC funds, what will drive the new wave of adoption and how big Internet companies will soon try to become your next NFT wallet provider, why Bored Apes and Richard Mille are the same thing (?), and also why Proof is such a cool and relevant name.

✨ SUBSCRIBE TO THE OVERPRICED JPEGS CHANNEL ✨ https://bankless.cc/jpegs ----- On this episode of Overpriced JPEGs, Carly is joined by the Chief Experience Officer at Ledger, Ian Rogers. Previously, Ian was the Chief Digital Officer of LVMH and CEO of Beats Music—which Apple acquired—and then Ian went on to build Apple Music. With Ian's wide-ranging digital experience, comes ultra gigabrain wisdom. Carly and Ian hash out crypto's top security misconceptions, whether or not Ledger's self-custody technology is a limiting factor to their growth, other potential security solutions, and how many Ledgers one needs to be the utmost secured. Further, they close with Ledger's intriguing future goals in the space, what upcoming collaborations they have in store, and their current collaboration with Trash Talk and the bands' BRICK NFT project: MINT on Wednesday, September, 7th, 2022 at 9am PT: https://market.ledger.com/collabs/brick/ ------
Ian Rogers moved from Silicon Valley to Paris in 2015 when he was appointed chief digital officer of LVMH. There, Rogers, a veteran of Apple Music and Beats, was tasked with building out the luxury conglomerate's e-commerce and data strategy and serving as a digital whisperer to executives. Background: Now, he's chief experience officer of Ledger, a security system that provides protection for digital currencies. Given his experience at the cutting edge of both tech and fashion, he is uniquely positioned to speak to the opportunities being created as crypto technologies, gaming and fashion converge. In his mind, one day, virtual fashion will be ubiquitous. His insights were originally featured in the fourth episode of The BoF Show, “Dematerialisation: Why the Metaverse Is Fashion's Next Goldmine,” streaming on Bloomberg Quicktake. Key Insights Rogers' background in the music industry has helped inform the way he perceives' luxury's need to take control of digital channels. Record labels lost out big on recorded music because they were in denial of consumers' desire to listen to music online. Having goods that are both digital and physical, or, “phygital” is the gateway to the existence of purely virtual goods. In order for virtual goods to have real value and meaning, there need to be marketplaces and venues for using them. People have a desire to collect things. With the rise of NFTs, there's a way to create scarcity digitally — which gives fashion brands an opportunity to create virtual goods based on the principles and hype and rarity that drive the industry today. The biggest misconceptions people have is that there's a distinction between the physical and digital worlds, according to Rogers. The blurring of realities in the metaverse will ultimately change our perceptions of what's real — and valuable. Most technology surrounding digital goods, NFTs, crypto and the metaverse is still nascent, and storytelling about its potential has been ahead of reality. Additional Resources Dematerialisation: Why the Metaverse Is Fashion's Next Goldmine. Physical and digital worlds merge in the Metaverse.
