For episode 740 of the BlockHash Podcast, host Brandon Zemp is joined by Kenny Wood, CEO of Sleepagotchi, a next-generation AI health data platform that started with sleep and is rapidly expanding into the broader wellness economy.The company just closed a $6.5M raise backed by Sfermion, Inception, 6th Man, and 1kx and launched its first personalised AI Sleep Coach on 19 May. Before joining Sleepagotchi, Kenny was CTO at Moonlander, a next-generation game creation studio successfully acquired by Alpha 3D. His career began in AAA games, shipping chart-topping franchises including Transformers (#1 in the UK console charts), Formula 1, and World Rally Championship. A builder and technologist with rare breadth, spanning AAA studios, R&D labs, defence simulation, and applied AI, Kenny brings a perspective on behaviour change and AI-driven systems that most founders in the wellness space simply don't have. 

Kenny Wood is the newly appointed CEO of Sleepagotchi, the Solana-based platform building what it calls the intelligence layer for the wellness economy. A two-decade veteran of the games industry, Wood cut his teeth as an artist on Mattel's Barbie titles before working on chart-topping franchises including Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX, Transformers, Formula 1 and World Rally Championship, later moving into ship-simulation work at VSTEP in the Netherlands and serving as CTO of AI world-generation startup Moonlander prior to its acquisition by Alpha 3D. Why you should listen Sleep is the foundation almost every other health metric rests on, and that is precisely why Wood argues it is the right wedge into a much larger market. Fix sleep and mood, energy and recovery tend to follow; neglect it and the deficit cascades through everything else. Sleepagotchi began life as a gamified sleep-to-earn app, but under Wood the thesis has sharpened: the real prize is not the streak mechanic but the data exhaust it generates. The company reports that roughly three-quarters of users open the app within ten minutes of waking, and its Telegram-based Lite version has touched two million all-time users, the kind of daily habit loop most wellness startups never achieve. The question Wood keeps returning to is who should capture the value of all that biometric signal. The product architecture he describes is ambitious. Rather than a single sleep score, Sleepagotchi runs four cooperating AI agents: a sleep coach that explains causally why a night went the way it did, a wellness agent that checks in on mood, diet, caffeine and alcohol through the day, a meal planner that turns those insights into recipes, and a shopping agent that sources the ingredients or supplements and can have them delivered. If you are tired despite doing everything right, the system might infer low iron and nudge you toward leafy greens, then route that recommendation downstream into an actual basket. A built-in marketplace lets vendors offer supplements, courses and the like, knitting recommendation and commerce into one loop. It is a bold attempt to make wellness advice actionable rather than merely informational, and it leans on integrations with Whoop, Oura and Apple Watch to pull in the raw signal. The thornier and more interesting argument is about ownership. Wearable terms of service generally bar reselling raw device data, a constraint Wood acknowledges candidly, but he draws a line between that raw feed and the processed, AI-derived record of a person's life built on top of it, which he believes the user should own and, eventually, permission or monetize on their own terms via the platform's $SLEEP token. Wood inherits the company from founding CEO Anton Kraminkin, now a strategic advisor, and a cap table that includes Sfermion, 6th Man Ventures, Inception and others. In a relaxed closing stretch, he talks up the strength of the underlying game IP, its outsized following across Japan, the Philippines and Korea, and the new levels arriving in the months ahead, while staying refreshingly honest about the work still to do. The result is a conversation that doubles as a preview of where the AI agent economy and personal health data may be heading.

José Antonio Suárez, conocido como “Cohete”, ha confirmado su salida de Recalvi, poniendo fin a una de las alianzas más importantes del panorama nacional de rallies en los últimos años. En este episodio analizamos qué supone esta ruptura dentro del Supercampeonato de España de Rallyes y por qué el movimiento genera muchas más dudas de las que inicialmente parecía. Aunque en un primer momento se habló de continuidad con un Skoda fuera de la estructura, durante el programa Claudia López explicó un detalle clave: el coche utilizado por “Cohete” pertenece directamente a Recalvi, no a Skoda ni al propio piloto. Eso deja al asturiano, a día de hoy, sin coche confirmado para competir y con su participación en Utiel dentro de dos semanas completamente en el aire. Además, repasamos las tensiones internas que habrían provocado la ruptura, incluyendo las diferencias surgidas tras el interés del piloto por disputar el European Rally Championship, una situación que habría deteriorado seriamente la relación entre ambas partes. También contextualizamos este movimiento en un momento especialmente relevante para el automovilismo español, coincidiendo con los primeros rumores y proyectos relacionados con una posible estructura nacional con aspiraciones al World Rally Championship de cara a 2027. Un episodio para entender qué hay detrás de una de las separaciones más importantes del rally nacional, qué escenarios se abren ahora para “Cohete” Suárez y cómo puede afectar esta situación a su futuro deportivo inmediato.

Sébastien Ogier se impone en el Rally Islas Canarias en un fin de semana marcado por el dominio absoluto de Toyota Gazoo Racing, que monopolizó las primeras posiciones desde los tramos iniciales. En este episodio analizamos cómo se desarrolló la prueba, desde el liderato sólido de Ogier hasta la lucha interna dentro de Toyota con pilotos como Elfyn Evans o Oliver Solberg, cuyo error en la fase final terminó decidiendo el resultado. Un rally donde la igualdad existió… pero solo dentro del propio equipo. También abordamos el rendimiento del resto de estructuras como Hyundai Motorsport y M-Sport Ford, sin capacidad de respuesta ante el ritmo en asfalto. En clave española, destacamos el papel de Alejandro Cachón, segundo en WRC2 y ganador en WRC2 Challenger, y el ritmo mostrado por Gil Membrado en WRC3, pese a los problemas mecánicos. Además, analizamos el contexto futuro del World Rally Championship con la mirada puesta en 2027, donde la FIA plantea una normativa más accesible que podría abrir la puerta a nuevos fabricantes, incluso con proyectos con base en España, una posibilidad respaldada por Dani Sordo. Un episodio para entender el dominio actual de Toyota, el equilibrio competitivo del WRC y las oportunidades que se abren para el futuro del campeonato.

Krunching Gears - The Rally Podcast, 2025 Season, episode 50. In conversation with Gerry McGarrity, part one. Gerry is known for his dedication, skill, and tenacity. Based in Fermanagh, he has spent decades earning respect as a rally driver, a motorsport preparation expert, and a mentor for young talent. Among the many drivers he guided, none felt his influence more strongly than Mark Fisher. Gerry played a quiet but significant role in shaping Mark's early approach to the sport—helping to refine his technique, build his confidence, and instil the discipline that would eventually carry him onto the international stage. He has tutored young drivers all the way up to competing in the World Rally Championship, and Mark's rise remains one of the clearest examples of Gerry's ability to spot potential and nurture it with care. Whether he's competing or working behind the scenes, Gerry truly represents the spirit of grassroots rallying.
