Jon Jordan talks to Irrevelant Labs' CEO Rahul Sood about MechaFightClub, the Solana-based game that will pit AI-driven robotic chickens from the future (in the form of dynamic NFTs) against each other -- first in the Cockpit and then in the global Cocktagon tournament, something labelled as "The Metaverse's Craziest Battle Arena".

Our anchors begin today's show with Crossmark Global Investments CIO Bob Doll discussing whether to trust the ongoing bounce in tech stocks, and CNBC's Steve Kovach covers the impact of China's current Covid lockdowns on Apple's supply chain. Then, Irreverent Labs CEO Rahul Sood weighs in on GameStop's latest results, and Evercore ISI analyst Amit Daryanani offers guidance on investing in stocks with buybacks and higher dividend yields. Next, CNBC's Ylan Mui reports on congressional lawmakers investing in Chinese stocks, and our Julia Boorstin reports on women entrepreneurs emerging during the economic recovery from Covid. Later, self-driving truck software maker Embark CEO Alex Rodrigues joins to discuss the company's first results since going public via SPAC

Robo chickens! If you're looking for the future of gaming, you've found it. Rahul Sood and Irreverent Labs are combining art and entertainment with NFT tech and it's wild. It's 2140, an alien race has visited Earth and left behind thousands of eggs that hatch robotic chickens. These chickens fight, learn, and fight some more.They are beautifully designed and rendered by some of the most talented digital artists in the world. They're also looking for an owner. Joe talks to Rahul about Irreverent Labs current game in development, Mecha Fight Club. Rahul shares why his “dumb idea for a game” made his co-founder walk out of his job developing defense technology at Microsoft to join him. And why companies like Apple need to get on board with crypto, or risk being left behind. You'll hear Rahul's vision for the industry and how music, entertainment, arts and culture will converge, using gaming as a Trojan horse. Plus how he and Co-Founder David, raised $5 million from VCs by going all-in.

Rahul Sood started his first company when he was just 17 years old. VoodooPC went on to sell to HP in 2006, where he spent four years as their CTO. Rahul then spent a few years at Microsoft, where he says he “learned everything and got a crash course in how the best leaders are created.” In 2014, he started his current company, Unikrn, an esports betting and news company that’s backed by big names like Ashton Kutcher, Mark Cuban, Elisabeth Murdoch, Shari Redstone and many others. Unikrn has received over 10 million in funding and is on the front lines of regulation in its industry. Rahul shares many valuable lessons he’s learned through his first company’s acquisition and going to work at a large company after never working for anyone but himself. He also talks about the one pager exercise that changed his life, his involvement in the medical industry after his dad’s passing, and his admiration for Elon Musk and Tesla. His “you can reach out to anyone” mentality is a lesson you will want to take with you.  

Today we have self-proclaimed gamer Rahul Sood who broke into the industry with the launch of a successful high-end gaming computer company back in the ’90s. Rahul is now at the forefront of combining three major trends: E-sports, regulated gambling and blockchain technology. Unikrn is set to upset the global gaming and gambling markets in a big way; will the US be a part of this next big boom or will outdated regulations stifle growth?

President, Unikrn

When I asked Rahul, founder of esports gambling blockchain company UNIKRN, what he would tell a major bank executive if they called for advice on what to do about the blockchain, it turns out they already had, and it's a revealing story giving bold believers in the transformative power of the blockchain some hope.

In this episode we talk to Rahul Sood, founder of Unikrn and creator of one of the most successful recent US ICOs.

In this live stream, Hen talks to Unikrn CEO Rahul Sood about UnikoinGold and its ongoing token sale and how they plan to revolutionize the e-sports betting space.

Rahul Sood is the CEO and Founder of Unikrn, an E-Sports betting platform.   I first heard of these guys when Mark Cuban announced he would be investing in their ICO. Ashton Kutcher is also another key investor in the company.   After founding and selling several successful startups, Rahul went to work for Microsoft Ventures, before diving back into entrepreneurship with Unikrn.   In this episode, we discuss:   What E-Sports is How Unikrn plans to hold an ICO for a token they call “Unikoin Gold,” which will be used for E-Sports gambling on the Unikrn platform And, how Mark Cuban once declared he would never buy an E-Sports team, but that may be changing…     **Please note: Any comments about the Unikrn token sale should not be misconstrued as investment advice or considered an endorsement of Unikrn**

On this week's episode Sean chats with Unikrn CEO, Rahul Sood about esports, rise of gambling on esports & why Unikrn are launching a new cryptocurrency. Full show notes - https://sportsgeekhq.com/podcast/unikrn-rahul-sood/

Millions of people from all around the world are interacting with video games in a whole new way: through a bookmaker for eSports called Unikrn. “When people ask what Unikrn does, I tell them we are a bookmaker for eSports, but ultimately we are eSports,” says Rahul Sood, CEO of Unikrn. Unikrn collects statistics and data for all of the major eSports, and creates odds on which players and spectators can bet against. Complete with sportscasters for play-by-play commentary, Unikrn's eSport platform is compelling, even for the inexperienced video gamer or sports fan. Just two years ago, with the introduction of a completely free token called the Unikoin, Unikrn entered the U.S. market. “We built a giant global community around the Unikoin, and we turned over a quarter billion Unikoins in the last year and a half,” says Sood. So, where is the Unikoin headed now? It's headed into the world of cryptocurrency, as both UnikoinSilver and UnikoinGold. Tune in to hear the details. Sood also discusses: * The specific types and genres of games, as well as the different ways in which people can place bets * The ways in which eSports differ from fantasy sports, and the benefit of eSports when it comes to skills betting * How the new cryptocurrencies will work on a crypto-exclusive platform, including the ability to place micro-bets in real-time
