Howdy
I’m a podcaster and public relations enthusiast.
My podcast, Beyond Bitcoin (2014) was the first to focus explicitly on the new fields of cryptocurrency and smart contract platforms. The next series, The Ether Review (2015 - 2017), followed the emergence of the second-largest blockchain, Ethereum. Subsequent podcasts have explored smaller corners of the crypto world.
My latest, Aotearoa Tomorrow, explores the gap between the rationale of political decision-making and reality.
In the past I’ve worked with large startups and scale-ups overseas, developing communities around products and plugging organisational holes.
Before boarding the rollercoaster of the startup communications profession, I was an itinerant labourer, builder, arborist, & commercial fisherman. My current focus is propaganda & public policy.

Another podcast, State Change was made for ConsenSys. It’s worth a listen if you’re interested in the early days of that organisation.
This YouTube channel has a few good interviews from 2017/18 on the early days of blockchain. I shot about 60 of these as I traveled for work. Some became promotional material for various projects, some never found a home. The ones here were just too good to leave on a dusty hard drive.
A shareholder action against the leadership of ConsenSys resulted in a few interesting press releases.
