In this episode of Web3 with Sam Kamani, Bruno Maia, Head of Growth at Cartesi, shares his journey from telecom to Web3, his early ICO days, and how he joined Cartesi to help expand Ethereum's design space with verifiable computation.Cartesi is building a Stage 2 optimistic rollup infrastructure with a fully verifiable Linux-based VM, enabling developers to write dApps in any language using familiar tools — without sacrificing decentralization or Ethereum security guarantees.Whether you're building in Web3, exploring zero-trust infrastructure, or just curious about the future of Ethereum scaling, this is a must-listen episode. Key Timestamps[00:00:00] Introduction: Sam introduces the episode with Bruno Maia from Cartesi.[00:01:00] Bruno's Background: From telecom and Qualcomm to ICOs and joining Web3 full-time in 2018.[00:03:00] Joining Cartesi: How Bruno became Head of Growth at Cartesi, co-founded by a longtime friend.[00:04:00] The Origin of Cartesi: Started as a verifiable AI marketplace, evolved into general-purpose rollup infra.[00:06:00] Cartesi's Infrastructure: RISC-V-based Linux VM, app-specific optimistic rollups, and Ethereum security.[00:07:00] Stage 2 Rollup Compliance: Importance of full trust minimization and Cartesi's dispute resolution mechanisms.[00:08:00] Use Cases: Advanced DeFi, verifiable AI, carbon credits, and decentralized gaming (e.g. PlayRise.io).[00:10:00] Developer Onboarding: Lowering the barrier for Web2 devs with full Linux support and rich dev tools.[00:12:00] Developer Strategy: Why targeting quality builders and full-funnel engagement matters more than hackathons.[00:14:00] Key KPI: Bruno explains why external funding for Cartesi-based projects is a core growth metric.[00:17:00] Monetization: Validator marketplace, token utility, attention economy, and long-term sustainability.[00:20:00] Biggest Objections: Why being a non-EVM, Linux-based rollup was initially misunderstood — but is now an advantage.[00:24:00] BD in Web3 vs Web2: Bruno explains how Web3 BD is closer to startup building — not sales.[00:29:00] Lessons Learned: Aligning GTM with product maturity and choosing the right users for the right stage.[00:30:00] The Future: Bruno and Sam discuss stablecoins, RWAs, Bitcoin, and the killer app potential of on-chain cash flows.[00:36:00] On RWAs: The real unlock is when real-world cash flows (e.g. rent, yield) hit the chain natively.[00:39:00] The Tech Stack Is Ready: Modular infra, rollups, DA, ZK, privacy, and liquidity coordination are all converging.[00:41:00] Final Ask: Bruno invites developers, white-hat hackers, and collaborators to engage with Cartesi's honeypot challenge and infra.Connecthttps://cartesi.io/https://www.linkedin.com/in/bmaia/https://www.linkedin.com/company/cartesi/https://x.com/bmaia_expathttps://x.com/cartesiprojectDisclaimerNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

Marc Bhargava from General Catalyst discusses their Creation Strategy for building AI-enabled roll-ups – companies that start as vertical software startups, then grow by acquiring traditional service businesses and transforming them through AI automation. They explore how systematic analysis of 70 service categories identified 10 verticals where 30-70% of tasks are automatable today, potentially transforming low-margin service businesses into software-like companies with 30-40% margins. The conversation covers the practical implementation of AI in industries like accounting, legal services, and call centers, where teams shadow workers to identify automatable tasks and layer AI into existing processes. While both see tremendous potential in bringing AI transformation to Main Street businesses, they debate whether the transition will be as smooth as projected or more disruptive to employment than anticipated.

Here are compelling show notes for episode 058 of The Influence Every Day Show: Episode 058 – Roll Up Your Sleeves and Dig Into the Context The Influence Every Day Show with Dr. Ed Tori When we strip away context, we strip away meaning - and often, we misjudge what's in front of us. In this powerful episode, Dr. Ed Tori shares a deeply personal story: his mother's recent hospitalization. On paper, her condition might seem dire. But a single sentence changed the room every time: “Just seven days ago, she was on my deck writing her fifth book.” That one line reframed the entire situation for nurses, doctors, and therapists alike - and it lit a fire of urgency, hope, and action. This episode isn't just about a medical scare - it's a masterclass in influence. You'll learn: Why context is the gateway to compassion and accurate decision-making How repeating a key narrative can ripple through systems and shift outcomes The subtle power of anchoring people in a story - not just a snapshot Why your words can either lower the bar or raise the standard If you lead, teach, care for others, or solve problems for a living - this is essential listening. Influence starts not with advice, but with understanding. Want to transform conversations and influence ethically every day?

During his first presidential campaign, Donald Trump pledged to defeat what he called the ideology of “radical Islamic terrorism.” Of late, his administration has been signaling a willingness to embrace its enablers and practitioners. That's the unmistakable take-away from Mr. Trump's visit to Qatar this month. After all, his hosts bankroll Sharia-supremacism worldwide, including by funding toxic influence operations and Muslim Brotherhood terrorists. Speaking of such terrorists, the administration recently appointed a convicted one along with another Sharia-supremacist to an advisory board on religious liberty. It's not clear whether Qatar had a hand in these ominous selections. What is certain though, as former spy Sam Faddis powerfully warns, jihadis and their Communist allies are now openly advocating violent action here at home. This is a time for rolling up radical Islamic terrorists – not enabling, let alone emboldening, them.

Power Rangers are an excellent example of strength in combining multiple superheroes on one team. On this episode we consider: What is your company worth?  What happens when we combine it with another then another? The value could significantly change for better multiples and for multiple reasons.  One of those would be a larger combined EBITDA with a reduction in redundant expenses.  Another could be the risk profile is reduced given larger geographic and higher diversification of revenue. Whether you sell to an ESOP or another buyer, through this podcast episode we discuss the multiple reasons to consider this approach. 

Blockchain architecture is constantly being forced to adapt to new technologies, as well as to meet new demands from users and builders. While the idea of apps building their own chains was first explored by Cosmos, it lacked the support and tooling to see it succeed. Later on, rollups also took the centerstage of Ethereum's scaling roadmap, but due to their general purpose design, it led to a cannibalistic ecosystem. Initia learned from these 2 models and combined the best of both worlds: it built a full-stack framework for a seamless DevEx from the get-go and, more importantly, it designed its tokenomics in order to ensure maximum incentive alignment for its appchains. While the former decision removed the need for each separate chain to reinvent the wheel and risk ending up ‘a jack of all trades, master of none', the latter ensured that appchains would not extract value away from the L1.Topics covered in this episode:Ezaan's backgroundFrom building on Terra to InitiaHow Initia is rewriting the appchain thesisInitia's enshrined liquidity & vested interest program (VIP)Metrics & Initia's bet on crypto innovationSolving liquidity fragmentationDelphi's involvement in InitiaFuture roadmapEpisode links:Ezaan Mangalji on XJose Maria Macedo on XAnil Lulla on XInitia on XDelphi Digital on XDelphi report on InitiaSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.
