Episode 12 | Interview with Mark Paul - Founder - Itheum (Data NFT Company)
One of the great potential use cases for NFT tech is digital twinning. A digital twin NFT is a digital representation of a real life asset. For example Alfa Romeo’s new car comes with an NFT log book. The Prada Group & LVMH-backed Aura Blockchain Consortium is rolling out a shared solution for brands to issue digital twins of luxury items like handbags and watches purchased IRL. The best use is a digital twin of ourselves where we will control (via smart contract) who gets to see/exploit our health, financial and other data. NFT tech could solve all our privacy problems as we have the potential to move away from just trusting companies, but we can actually control and monetise our own data.

Episode 9 | Interview with Damien Jones - Partner & Head of Accounting Advisory Team - EY and Greg Reinhardt - Partner and Head of Tax - Norton Rose Fulbright, Australia
Cryptocurrency has often been seen as an unregulated environment but, as its use cases move more mainstream, it is clear that there are significant regulatory issues when dealing with crypto. Together with our tax and accounting experts, we will examine the relevant issues when:
- An organisation buys crypto as part of corporate treasury, ie. to keep it on the balance sheet.
- An organisation accepts crypto in payment for goods or services.
- An organisation pays its staff partly/wholly in crypto, such as is being done by Australian tech success story, Finder.
- An organisation issues crypto tokens to staff as incentives like a traditional ESOP but with tokens.

Episode 7 | Interview with Egor Sidelska - Director of crypto hedge fund - Magnet Capital
Decentralised finance (or DeFi) refers to decentralised applications working via smart contracts on a blockchain. The apps provide crypto-based financial services such as lending, insurance and digital asset trading. Currently there are more than $50 Billion of DeFi smart contracts in the market and the number is growing every day – almost invisible to the traditional finance world. DeFi is exciting as it democratises financial products as well as creating fundamental value (and liquidity) for crypto assets. NFTs or Non-fungible tokens have dramatically changed the art world in recent times with more than $60 Million being paid for a piece of digital art.
But NFTs do not stop at art, they can change the way we think about ownership of everything in the digital world. This session is relevant for everyone, no matter what industry, to understand how DeFi & NFTs can potentially change their business and their world.

Episode 6 | Interview with Benjie Thomas - Managing Partner - Advisory Services, KPMG Canada
KPMG Canada has been very active in the Web3 space, not only advising clients but also on its own behalf, buying NFTs and cryptocurrencies. Most notably, the partnership bought Bitcoin and Ether to hold on the KPMG balance sheet as part of corporate treasury diversification strategy. They followed this up by paying almost $50,000 to buy an NFT, Woman #2681 to be exact.
We speak to the Managing Partner to find out why an organisation like KPMG would be buying digital assets to hold on its own balance sheet. The answers may surprise you but it is certainly an impressive vision from this leading professional services firm. In fact it may lead you to think differently about digital assets and your own balance sheet.

Episode 5 | Interview with Tim Lea - Walking between Worlds
Big brands are using NFTs as a way to supercharge loyalty programs and as a powerful adjunct to CRM (customer relationship management) systems. For others there is real money at stake. The US National Basketball Association’s TOPSHOTS NFT program has notched up over US$700 Million in sales. While Penfolds has made 300 bottles of premium wine available by NFTs which has made it easy to gift (and trade) premium wine – something that to-date has been fraught with issues due to the fragility of wine. NFTs are part of a broader megatrend known as Web3. Web3 is the coming together of augmented reality, the metaverse, cryptocurrencies, decentralised finance and NFTs. Web3 will impact all organisations and it is important to know about it. This episode is perfect for people who are interested in how technology will impact the future of all industries, including their own. We will focus on NFTs and interview a leading NFT expert, Tim Lea. Tim is the CEO of the indigenous art NFT project, Walking between worlds.

Episode 4 | Interview with Kristy Kyte - Penfolds and Sam Falic - Blockbar
The NFT market went from US$13 Million in 2020 to US$41 Billion in 2021. It is truly exploding and, while there are some more extreme activities around pricey rock JPEGs and eye-wateringly expensive digital art, there are many examples of normal companies successfully embracing NFT technology to enhance the customer relationship. Innovative winemaker Penfolds has had two very successful NFT “drops” of premium wines. Gifting and trading premium wine is difficult due to the fragility of the physical object. NFT tech is an ideal solution. Buyers of the Penfolds’ wine NFTs have a right to redeem that NFT for the bottle but can also gift it (as simply as sending an email) or trade it. Kristy Kyte, Penfolds Chief Marketing Officer and Sam Falic, Co-founder and President of the Web3 tech company, Blockbar, partnered with Penfolds on this project.

Episode 2 | Interview with Ridley Plummer - Tennis Australia
The 2022 Australian Open ran one of the country’s most successful metaverse and NFT projects to date. The AO created a full user experience in the metaverse platform, Decentraland and minted 6776 designer NFT "art balls".

We talk to Ridley Plummer, the Metaverse & NFT Project Manager at Tennis Australia about this audacious project. Ridley tells us some of the key components of a successful foray into Web3, including: an openness to innovation and a clear vision. For the AO, they wanted to use Web3 to make tennis accessible to as many people as possible. Also, spoiler alert, we talk about the importance of Discord and Web3. If you do not know what Discord is, you may need to look it up as, in Ridley’s words, “it is a Marketer’s dream."

Episode 1 | Interview with Sebastien Borget - Co-founder & COO - Sandbox
The Metaverse has moved beyond science fiction movies like Ready Player One to become an important reality.

In this episode, we interview Sebastien Borget, Co-Founder & COO of The Sandbox, one of the world’s leading Metaverse platforms.
