Welcome back to Not Fintech Investment Advice, where Simon Taylor and I talk about fintech companies that we're definitely not giving investment advice on! The theme of this episode is infrastructure galore. We kick things off with Ubyx, who are essentially building the Visa for stablecoins–a network of merchants, issuers, and acquirers with a standardized incentive and legal structure that could help stablecoins finally qualify as cash equivalents. We're not yet at the Visa moment of mass merchant adoption and real interoperability pain (all pain points are still mostly theoretical), but Ubyx is betting that moment's coming fast. They're one to watch, especially if you love good nerdy whitepaper... Next up, Codex. They recently raised a seed round (with participation from Coinbase and Circle, among others) to build a layer 2 blockchain network specifically for stablecoins. Codex wants to be the sleek payments rail for stablecoins, and while “just another blockchain” fatigue is real, there's logic in going vertical. They're also pitching themselves as a liquidity hub, which, if it works, could be a major edge in reducing fragmentation. Then, there's Agent AV, which is basically Shopify for AI agents. They're tackling the wild west of agentic commerce, where bots now shop on our behalf. E-commerce was built to keep bots out—but now, humans are deploying bots on their behalf. The challenge, then, is separating the good bots (authorized agents) from the bad. That's why a two-sided mode, building for both agents and merchants, makes a lot of sense. It's early days, but they might be laying rails for a whole new kind of shopping experience. And finally, the dark horse of the episode: Experian. Yes, that Experian. They just launched a new cashflow-based credit score and, in a twist, are skipping the bottom of the data stack to go full-FICO. In an open banking world, they don't want to be the bureau—they want to be the scorer. No end-of-show manifestations on this go-around; Simon already manifested the biggest fintech nerd gathering ever, Fintech NerdCon, so Alex is manifesting an excellent inaugural NerdCon in Miami come November.  00:02:36 - UBYX 00:16:25 - Codex 00:30:05 - Agent AV 00:41:14 - Experian Newline™ by Fifth Third is an innovative, API-first platform that enables fintechs to launch embedded payment, card and deposit solutions directly with Fifth Third Bank.

Most things in business are a choice - you will hear you have to do x, y and z to be successful in business. But it has long been true that businesses do things in different ways and are still successful. In the last 3 episodes we had Taz Thornton who we saw talking about being wary of "training course" gurus, James Potter who uses LinkedIn differently and Emily talked about the different ways to improve your SEO visibility. There is no one right way to do business. We also have merch which is available from our Patreon!

This year, the trip included stops at Six Flags Great Adventure, Knoebels Amusement Resort, Hersheypark, Lakemont Park, Kennywood, Kings Island, Kentucky Kingdom, Holiday World, Indiana Beach Boardwalk Resort and Cedar Point. In this episode, Matt shares his observations and experiences and he and Josh turn them into valuable operational lessons.   First, Matt shares some of his favorite, most memorable moments of the trip - some that were directly influenced by the park and employees, others that were made possible by the atmosphere the park created. By discussing these individual moments, Matt and Josh drew connections between them and linked them to the intersection of guest and employee experience.   Next, Josh and Matt discuss the following observations and how they relate to a successful guest and employee experience. Make feedback easy - Six Flags had large posters with a QR code for guests to leave positive feedback for their team members. Sound/Audio matters - whether a ride spiel or a storytelling element in an attraction, if people can't hear or understand what's being said, a large portion of the story and experience is lost. Presentation matters - from Hersheypark's Ferris wheel appetizers to Kings Island's employees, the visual impression of your experience cannot be underestimated, both from the guest and employee perspective. Don't forget the human component of a tech-driven world - at Kennywood, even though the process for buying and using the skip-the-line pass was done completely from your phone, they still had people standing by to help answer questions and for “emotional support.” How do you say goodnight or goodbye to your guests (or employees)? Do you have a strategy to reinforce the great memories created so that they want to come back again and again?   This podcast wouldn't be possible without the incredible work of our amazing team: Scheduling and correspondence by Kristen Karaliunas Branding and design by Fabiana Fonseca   To connect with AttractionPros: attractionpros@gmail.com

An interview with Mike, owner of Vintage Games and Junque. We are talking about the upcoming Steel City NerdCon being held this July 2 at the Bushplane Museum in downtown Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Mike and his wife Beth have been in the pop culture business for about 7 years. Approximately 5 years ago they decided the town needed some excitement. They organized the first NerdCon and held it in the back of their building. It was a huge success. With the exception of Covid, there has been an event every year since. Vendors come from all over Ontario to sell their items. This year there are people coming from Quebec. The event gets bigger and better each year. Usually NerdCon is held in September or October. To try something new, the Vintage Games crew decided to try a summer event. They don't know how it's going to go over, especially because it's the Canada Day long weekend. However, the event is occurring at the same time as Poutine Fest. Multiple poutine vendors will be selling their delicious food only a block from the NerdCon space. Cross promotion is on everyone's mind. Also in this little chat, Mike talks about his store. Vintage Games and Junque started out in a 400 square foot space. They next year they expanded into an 800 square foot location. For the past 5 years they have been at their current 3500 square foot building at 165 Queen Street East. Mike describes the shop as a really expensive thrift store. Yet, walking in, it does not have that thrift store feel. You can see how everything is curated and placed with care. Items range from antiques, video games and comics to classic toys, comic books, signs and so much more. Find Mike and Vintage games on all the social media sites by searching Vintage Games and Junque. This week's podcast promo: Earth Station Who

We talk to Jackie Goddard about the importance of finding your voice, to make sure you can be heard. That can be anything from being a speaker, to social posts or even just going on to Zoom calls. Let's face it, as a business owner, you even have to be able to communicate to your staff, let alone to your customers. But as a small business owner, you will likely need to be involved with sales, marketing and networking, so now is the time to get into the mindset of saying what needs to be said. We talk about changing your mindset to realise that people need to hear what you have to say. You have to enjoy yourself and believe in what you are saying. Find out more about Jackie and how she can help you find your voice at: https://www.powertospeak.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/powertospeakuk/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackiegoddardpowertospeak/-------------------------------------------------------------------------- SponsorsThe winner of our competition, this month's sponsor is Nicky Booton Coaching.

Join us as we discuss last weekend at nerd Con and how Aimee is holding up with her Author Special, The Twelve Days of Page Turners

Original broadcast date January 31, 2019. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2019/01/binary-system-podcast-162-convention-disaster-stories/ Can we just say for the record that if you've attended a convention and been bitterly disappointed, you have our sympathies. THAT BEING SAID, grab some popcorn, because in the wake of the Fyre Festival documentaries (which we adored) we're going to talk about a bunch more conventions that imploded due to inexperience, egos, financial shenanigans, downright mental incompetence, or all of the above. (We don't know why we love Convention Disaster Stories, but we really, really do.) Listen in as we go over what we know about TanaCon, Dashcon, Nerdcon, RainFurrest, and Universal FanCon, not to mention a bunch of geeking out about Fyre Festival because holy cow that crapfest makes for a great story. SPOILER WARNING for Better Call Saul at the 5:53 mark! This week's outro music is a clip from If This Were An Actual Emergency by TeknoAXE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGYsrCNb6uM&index=2&list=LLTLISidXZNOcw-O8EN9m4EA&t=0s If you're wanting even more Fyre Festival content, the Fyre Festival episode of the Swindled podcast (which came out two months before the documentaries) is very fun, and the intro about a disastrous Christmas Festival is a nice bonus. http://swindledpodcast.com/podcasts/season-2/episode-04-the-fyre-festival/

Original broadcast date September 1, 2016. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2016/09/binary-system-podcast-50-fifty-episodes-still-no-plan/ It's the 50th episode of Binary System Podcast! What do we have planned? Absolutely nothing! Seriously, are you surprised? After 50 episodes if you think we've got a game plan we'd like to talk to you about this section of prime real estate in the Everglades, lovely spot, we'll just need your credit card number... Seriously though, we tackled this episode with all the randomness we could put behind it, and jumped from Penny Dreadful to Stranger Things, Mr. Robot, the Foreigner Series, Game of Thrones, the Craft Sequence, Neil Gaiman, Chuck Palahniuk, prom night, Civil War 2, time travel, the Thessaliad, Sins of the Wreckers, Transformers that break, and being surprisingly girly about it. Don't judge. Kathryn's review of Neil Gaiman's How to Talk to Girls at Parties is here. The Craft Sequence Books are by Max Gladstone and you should probably be reading them. The tumblr artist Kathryn mentioned is Linda Marie Anson. The Soundwave Evolution figure review is live, complete with video, you can check it out here. Jada's Sherlock panel recap is here, Drew's latest rebirth post is here, and the photos from Nerd Con 2016 are here!
