Neste Bitalk vamos revelar o que realmente se passa nos bastidores das forças de segurança com Bruno Pereira, Presidente Sindicato Nacional de Oficiais de Polícia.

César Couto Ferreira spent over a decade deep in the world of global media—shaping MTV across Europe and Africa, working with stars, and riding the wave from analog to digital. But when Amy Winehouse died, something broke. Not in the headlines, but inside him. He saw how the industry treated artists as content—not people—and decided he couldn't be part of it anymore. That moment became his call to redesign his life. In this episode, César shares how he left global prestige behind to build systems of real impact—helping governments, mentoring young entrepreneurs, and bringing Web Summit to Portugal. For Gen Xers questioning the legacy of their work, this episode is a gut-check: you can walk away from the machine—and build something that lasts.>>The Rise and the Reckoning“I was living on the same street as Coldplay. But something felt deeply wrong.”Cesar traces his rise from DJ to MTV exec—and the moment he realized proximity to fame doesn't mean pride in the system.>>When Amy Winehouse Died, Everything Shifted“We prepped obituaries like playlists. And then Amy died. I couldn't unsee it.”Her death wasn't just tragic—it was Cesar's breaking point. It made him question everything about the machine he helped run.>>Leaving the Bright Lights to Build Real Change“I chose to stop. Not because I failed—but because I wanted to design something better.”Cesar reflects on the long walk away from global media—and into tech, civic transformation, and mentorship across Portugal and Brazil.>>Legacy Over Likes“Media taught me how to influence. Now I'm using that skill for society.”From helping bring Web Summit to Lisbon to working with governments and young founders, Cesar is now designing systems with human value.>>Advice from a Media Veteran to the Always-Online Generation“Read more books. Touch more people. Don't believe the hype.”Cesar leaves a timeless reminder: attention is power—and what you do with it matters more than who sees it._________________________Connect with Us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Cesar Couto Ferreira  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

The multi-million euro legal battle between the Web Summit co-founders, Paddy Cosgrave, Daire Hickey and David Kelly, has been described as a bitter divorce, with no prospect of an amicable resolution. The clash between three of Ireland's most prominent tech high-flyers has begun, and the first shots in anger have been very acrimonious indeed. Allegations of blackmail, sexual harassment and even kompromat have emerged this week as the trio embarked on a nine-week trial in the High Court. With the Web Summit now valued at €200m-€300m, the stakes are huge for everyone involved. Host: Dave Hanratty. Guest: Mark Tighe See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Paddy Cosgrave, founder and CEO of Web Summit, joins me for a fast-paced conversation recorded live at Web Summit Qatar. We talk about how he scaled a 150-person event into one of the world's largest tech conferences, and why the same principles—imagination, naivety, and engineering serendipity—can be applied to anything you want to build. Paddy shares his thoughts on avoiding fear-driven decisions, why big ideas need a bit of “clinical insanity,” and how success often comes down to simply starting—even if you have no idea what you're doing.We also touch on tech hype, unsanitized founders, and why he won't let his kids near addictive apps. This episode is about thinking big, starting small, and taking action—no matter what you're building.Support for the show comes from XM, a leading trading platform.

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Brett King. What if, in 50 years, money as we know it no longer exists? Futurist Brett King believes we're heading toward a world where artificial intelligence automates nearly everything from jobs to healthcare to supply chains. As AI disrupts industries at an unprecedented scale, traditional employment may no longer be the main way people earn a living. Universal Basic Income, once a radical idea, may become essential just to keep economies running. But if automation provides food, shelter, and healthcare as a default, will we even need money? Or will wealth become something entirely different? In today's episode of Money Tales, Brett takes us on a journey into the future of money and what it means for all of us. Brett King is an International Bestselling Author, a world- renowned futurist and media personality. President Xi Jinping cited his book Augmented. He has spoken in over 50 countries, given keynotes for TEDx, Wired, Techsauce, Singularity University, Web Summit, The Economist, IBM's World of Watson, CES, SIBOS and more. He has appeared on CNBC, BBC, ABC, Fox, and Bloomberg. He advised the Obama administration on Fintech. King hosts the world's #1 Fintech Radio Show/Podcast called Breaking Banks (180 countries, 6.5 million listeners). He is the founder of Moven, a globally recognized mobile start-up, which has raised over US$40 million to date, and launched the first in-app mobile bank account offered anywhere in the world. Banking Exchange named him the King of the Disruptors, he was nominated as American Banker's Innovator of the Year, voted the world's #1 Financial Services Influencer by The Financial Brand and listed by Bank Innovation as one of the top 10 "coolest brands in banking". King was shortlisted for the Advance Global Australian of the Year for being one of the most influential Australians offshore. His book "Augmented: Life in the Smart Lane", was a top-10 non-fiction book in North America. Bank 4.0 remained a global bestseller in banking more than 12 months after release.

What happens when a media executive walks away from the world of celebrity and spotlights? César Couto Ferreira, the former MTV and Vice Media powerhouse, traded backstage passes with global icons like Madonna and Coldplay for a mission with more depth. After launching media empires across Europe and Brazil, he realized that glitz alone wasn't enough—he wanted impact. Now, he's bringing his creative and business savvy to olio.is and Streamhub, shaping the future of media with a blend of vision, strategy, and just the right amount of rockstar energy.Key Highlights of Our Interview:MTV: From a Dream to Daily Life“Watching MTV as a kid, I thought, ‘That's the dream.' By 2003, I was living it. From Portugal to London, I went from fan to colleague—working with my idols and hanging out with heroes.”A Front-Row Seat to Media Transformation“From analog to digital, concerts to streaming, I've been at the frontline of media's biggest shift. And yes, I saw REM's last concert—jealous yet? Launching MTV Portugal, mentoring MTV Base Africa, bringing MTV Italy and Greece to life—it was a whirlwind of concerts, launches, and 1 billion viewers streaming the EMAs from Lisbon.”The Dark Side of the Spotlight“Being immersed in the industry, I witnessed its pitfalls. Amy Winehouse, a radiant talent, was in the wrong hands. Seeing how brilliance was overshadowed by exploitation made me question the industry's priorities. When Amy died, it wasn't just a loss; it was a wake-up call. I couldn't be part of a system that profits from pain. That day, I knew—I needed to change the game.”A Quest for a Better Industry“Creativity deserves care, not exploitation. That realization sparked a mission to create spaces where artistry thrives without the shadows of industry's darker sides.”Designing Society, One Summit at a Time“As a self-proclaimed ‘designer for society,' I worked with governments and innovators to connect tourism and tech. The Web Summit is proof that big ideas and small countries can make magic.”_________________________Connect with Us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Cesar Couto Ferreira______________________--**Chief Change Officer**--Change Ambitiously.

In this episode of the Hustle Inspires Hustle podcast, host Alex Quin speaks with Dan Ram, a six-time TEDx speaker, entrepreneur, and global event MC for major conferences like Web Summit and Davos. Dan shares how his relentless work ethic and positive mindset are shaped by his personal experiences with adversity, including six near-death experiences and struggles with identity and self-worth during his childhood. Growing up in 10 different countries due to his father's diplomatic career, Dan constantly faced challenges adapting to new cultures, environments, and social circles. These experiences taught him resilience, adaptability, and the value of persistence, which fueled his success as a public speaker and entrepreneur.Dan discusses how small actions and embracing opportunities led to significant milestones in his career. From launching Ireland's first co-working space, Treehouse, to becoming an event host for global stages, Dan highlights the importance of saying "yes" to small opportunities and putting in consistent effort. A defining moment in his speaking career came when he assisted Richard Branson on stage, a gesture that symbolized Dan's philosophy of showing up fully in every moment. He emphasizes that success stems from clarity, strategy, and believing in oneself.

What happens when a media mogul trades the spotlight for purpose? César Couto Ferreira, former MTV and Vice Media executive, knows the answer. From working with global icons like Madonna and Coldplay to launching media operations in Europe and Brazil, César mastered the art of navigating fame and business. But he chose to step away from the bubble of glamour to build a legacy that's uniquely his. Now, César is shaping the future of media through business development at olio.is and Streamhub, blending his philosophical vision with practical innovation. Key Highlights of Our Interview: MTV: From a Dream to Daily Life “Watching MTV as a kid, I thought, ‘That's the dream.' By 2003, I was living it. From Portugal to London, I went from fan to colleague—working with my idols and hanging out with heroes.” A Front-Row Seat to Media Transformation “From analog to digital, concerts to streaming, I've been at the frontline of media's biggest shift. And yes, I saw REM's last concert—jealous yet? Launching MTV Portugal, mentoring MTV Base Africa, bringing MTV Italy and Greece to life—it was a whirlwind of concerts, launches, and 1 billion viewers streaming the EMAs from Lisbon.” The Dark Side of the Spotlight “Being immersed in the industry, I witnessed its pitfalls. Amy Winehouse, a radiant talent, was in the wrong hands. Seeing how brilliance was overshadowed by exploitation made me question the industry's priorities. When Amy died, it wasn't just a loss; it was a wake-up call. I couldn't be part of a system that profits from pain. That day, I knew—I needed to change the game.” A Quest for a Better Industry “Creativity deserves care, not exploitation. That realization sparked a mission to create spaces where artistry thrives without the shadows of industry's darker sides.” Designing Society, One Summit at a Time “As a self-proclaimed ‘designer for society,' I worked with governments and innovators to connect tourism and tech. The Web Summit is proof that big ideas and small countries can make magic.” _________________________ Connect with Us: Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Cesar Couto Ferreira ______________________ Chief Change Officer: Make Change Ambitiously.

 How is artificial intelligence redefining the boundaries of creativity and copyright law? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, recorded live at Web Summit in Lisbon, I sit down with Ed Klaris, Managing Partner at Klaris Law and a leading authority on the intersection of technology, media, and intellectual property. With over 17 years of experience at powerhouse brands like ABC, Disney, and The New Yorker, Ed brings a nuanced perspective to one of the most pressing issues in media and entertainment today: the impact of generative AI on intellectual property rights. Ed, fresh from a panel discussion titled AI vs. IP, dives into the challenges and opportunities that AI presents to content creators and legal professionals alike. We explore the contentious question of whether AI-generated works can be considered authored—and thus copyrightable—and examine how different global jurisdictions are interpreting human input requirements in the age of AI. From Hollywood's cautious embrace of AI tools to the legal debates surrounding training datasets and fair use, this conversation unpacks the complexities of blending cutting-edge technology with traditional IP frameworks. We also discuss how businesses can navigate the legal risks of leveraging AI while protecting their proprietary content, the role of blockchain in licensing and rights management, and how companies like Microsoft are addressing concerns around private AI. Ed's insights highlight both the promise and peril of this evolving landscape, offering practical advice for those looking to stay ahead in this rapidly changing field. As AI reshapes creativity and challenges legal norms, how can we strike a balance between protecting intellectual property and fostering innovation? Join us as we explore these critical questions and more from the show floor at Web Summit. I'd love to hear your thoughts—reach out via email or social media, and let's continue the conversation!

How do businesses navigate the growing security risks in a world where employees work from anywhere, on any device, with apps IT departments might not even know about? In this special episode of Tech Talks Daily, recorded live at Web Summit in Lisbon, I sit down with Jeff Shiner, CEO of 1Password—a $6.8 billion Canadian-based security company trusted by over 100,000 businesses worldwide. Jeff shares how 1Password is redefining security through its innovative Extended Access Management platform, tackling challenges that have emerged with the rise of hybrid work, shadow IT, and the widespread adoption of SaaS tools. At a time when the “access trust gap” between employers and employees poses significant risks, Jeff outlines how businesses can close this gap by securing every sign-in, device, and app, without compromising productivity. Our conversation explores the dual role of AI in cybersecurity: both as a potential threat and as a productivity enhancer. Jeff explains how 1Password leverages generative AI to improve customer support and address evolving enterprise needs. We also discuss the future of security, from integrating seamlessly with tools like Azure AD and Slack to meeting the growing demand for user-friendly solutions that employees willingly adopt—creating a win-win for both individuals and organizations. With a focus on making security intuitive, reducing friction for users, and empowering businesses to thrive in today's fast-paced digital environment, Jeff provides invaluable insights into how 1Password is shaping the future of enterprise security. As we delve into these pressing topics, one key question remains: how can companies balance security and productivity in an ever-evolving threat landscape? Let me know your thoughts, and stay tuned for more conversations from Web Summit!

  In an age dominated by surveillance and data collection, is it truly possible to achieve digital anonymity? On today's episode, recorded live from Web Summit in Lisbon, I'm joined by two trailblazers who are challenging conventional wisdom around online privacy: Chelsea Manning, well-known whistleblower and privacy advocate, and Harry Halpin, CEO of Nym Technologies. Together, they reveal why traditional tools like VPNs and encrypted messaging apps might not be enough to protect us in a world where advanced AI can mine metadata to uncover our most private activities. We explore the current state of digital privacy, dissecting the limitations of existing tools and introducing NymVPN, the world's first decentralized VPN powered by a noise-generating mixnet.  With AI's ability to sift through patterns in data, simple encryption isn't sufficient anymore. Manning and Halpin delve into the concept of metadata—the often-overlooked data about data—highlighting its importance in AI-driven surveillance and why it poses a significant threat to our privacy. In this engaging conversation, we break down how NymVPN's mixnet technology offers a unique approach by obscuring online behavior with noise and mixing up data streams. We also address practical questions: Can this technology be easily adopted by everyday users? How does it stack up against popular tools like Tor? And what role does it play in regions plagued by censorship and heavy surveillance? Whether you're a journalist, an activist, or simply concerned about your digital privacy, this episode offers a thought-provoking look at the future of online anonymity. Are we truly entering a new frontier in digital freedom, or is privacy becoming an illusion? Tune in to find out—and decide for yourself if it's time to rethink the tools you use to stay safe online. After listening, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Have your views on digital privacy changed after this discussion? Let me know. Until next time, stay informed and vigilant—because privacy is more than a right; it's a necessity in today's interconnected world.

Send us a textEver wondered how an event brimming with over 71,000 visionaries feels? Join me, Joeri Billast, as I guide you through the electrifying atmosphere of the WebSummit in Lisbon. This year, AI took center stage, with 3,000+ companies showcasing their innovations across bustling floors. As a Sintra local, attending the summit was a delightful escape from long-haul flights, though an impromptu trip to Belgium for an AI workshop meant I was flying back to Portugal just in time for the event. From intimate meetups scheduled via the WebSummit app to reconnecting with industry peers like Diego Borgo and Ethan Pierce, the experience was an exhilarating blend of chaos and connection. While there wasn't a dedicated Web3 stage this year, the spirit of Web3 thrived in side events like the DePIN Day by Outlier Ventures, where networking was anything but ordinary. Despite missing a main stage presence, Web3 was interwoven into every corner of the summit, promising a return next year. Each side gathering, whether atop a rooftop bar or amidst the buzzing meetups, turned into a serendipitous reunion of the Web3 community. Listen along as I recount these enriching exchanges, the thrill of bumping into familiar faces, and why WebSummit remains an unmissable gathering for tech enthusiasts worldwide.This episode was recorded via Descript on November 15, 2024.
