They gained nine million subscribers last quarter and now have a positive cash flow.” “They're a television channel with one revenue stream. In the history of television you have to go back 50 or 60 years to find a truly long term profitable television channel that had one revenue stream. And that was back when there were three channels broadcast.” “I don't like doomed, doomed is hyperbolic. They're not going to go out of business, but they're going to gently become what CBS is now.” “The NY Times has probably one of the best lifestyle bundles, one of the best super aggregation Platforms in media. It’s a really tight package and they're doing it with 10 million subscribers, not 200 million subscribers.” “Younger consumers are much more likely to pay for content than older consumers, but they want to get their money's worth. The best example I can give you is Spotify.” “Apple is facing some issues. First of all they skew to the rich, you know the cost of their products are exorbitant. Every single one of their Hardware products fell in sales in the third quarter except the iPhone, and it only went up 2%.” “60% of the planet's eight to 15 year olds play Minecraft.”  “People on other social media platforms make fun of LinkedIn, but it's the last bastion of Peace in social media. It's the last place in social media where being a douchebag isn't celebrated.” “I think you're going to start to see creators go on strike against platforms like Tik Tok and YouTube and meta to get better shares of revenue.” “What if we start as writers and creators to not assume the apocalypse has happened, but assume that the apocalypse didn't happen and that what society looks like on the other side if we Greenlight more optimism and less apocalypse might we also Inspire the next generation of Roddenberry or Steve Jobs. Might we Inspire more creation and less destruction?” ⛓️ 🔗 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐉𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐲🔗 ⛓️ 🔥Thinking on Paper - http://www.thinkingonpaper.xyz/ 🔥Connect With Mark - https://linktr.ee/markfielding 🔥Connect With Jeremy - https://www.jeremygilbertson.com/
Designing Super Experiences: How Brands Blend The Virtual And Physical!

Designing Super Experiences: How Brands Blend The Virtual And Physical!
Disruptors and Curious Minds! Our most connected experiences usually require geographic proximity in three dimensions with other human beings. Concerts, weddings, and soccer matches all transform individual attendees into a universal collective called an audience. When you think about it, an audience is a network that transmits, receives and aggregates emotion based on a specific stimulus. For instance, when your favourite team scores the game winning goal, the arena erupts. Is that kind of connection possible in the digital realm? One place to point to in search of answers is gaming. Fortnite, Roblox and others are testing ways to emulate the magic of the game-winning goal, but does it hit the same? On the other hand, games allow us to defy physics. We can’t become invisible or shoot lasers out of our eyes, so games do offer something that the real world cannot. What if the new approach to experience design is rooted in the physical world with thoughtful extensions into digital venues? What if digital world building had physical attributes? How do bridges between IRL and URL that highlight the uniqueness of each domain deliver an altogether new super experience? This week's guest will share her perspective on these questions and more! Rachel Noonan is a Partner and Chief Strategy Officer at Forward, an entertainment-obsessed innovation studio focused on elevating experiences with emerging technology. Rachel has developed first-to-market API integration partnerships that helped build a music streaming service from the ground up. She’s launched indie and blockbuster films at festivals, theatrically, and online. She has worked with notable brands such as Samsung, Rdio, Microsoft, Meta, and The Toronto International Film Festival. Rachel also has a Masters of Design in Strategic Foresight and Innovation from Ontario College of Art and Design and has previously served on the Canadian Media Fund’s Innovation and Commercialization Jury.

Bi-Directional Value Exchange, Incentives & Authenticity: Ikigai Web3 Brand Strategy!
Welcome to an other deep dive into emerging technology, web3 and the intersection of culture, tech and the human condition. This week we're going to Okinawa. Ikigai is a personal concept, an idea you can use to bring satisfaction and fulfilment into your life when you balance passion, mission, vocation and profession. But can the truths within this ancient Japanese way of thinking be used as an analogy at the intersection of creativity, technology and the human experience? Can brands in web3 create, curate and execute their strategy using key insight from the concept? After all, a brand must find meaning and purpose to succeed. Just like you and I. This week’s guest is Dominik Karaman, he runs Eekigai Labs, a creative consultancy guiding companies through the next evolution of consumer experiences. He also works with Aiddrop, a non-profit organization that builds transparent donation systems on blockchain and hosts the No Blueprint podcast. We speak about: ▶️ The strategies successful brands are using in web3. And why they work ▶️ Professional e-sports, League of Legends and how brands remain authentic ▶️ Bi-directional Value Exchange, opensource brands and the Nouns DAO ▶️ Brand Incentives, UX and Community Design ▶️ Co-creation, collaboration and a pair of Dominik-Nike-DAO-Trainers ▶️ The Ikigai Web3 Brand Framework ▶️ The OODA Web3 Framework And much more.

Because they want to raise brand awareness or tap into a new audience.” “I can draw parallels to today's existing web3 space, because you have these two sides, one is commercially orientated and they're excited when a big brand enters the game because they only see mainstream adoption. The other scrutinizes every step that the brands make.” “Brands have a lot of upside with direct connection to their target audience.” “People can do brand proposals and get it funded by the DAO if everybody is aligned. I think this is one of the greatest examples of a self self-running brand.” “I don't want to sound too negative here but humans always need new incentives to stay with something.” “When sentiment is low is when real people come together with a clear and authentic shared purpose.” “When we think of web 3 and interacting with your community, there needs to be something substantial inside. A message that translates into a real purpose.” “Fans for the first time in the history of the brands have the possibility to co-create an episode of their story together with the brand.” “What are the values? Who are the people? What does the target audience want and where can we find our place? “A lot of clients feel overwhelmed. Try small initiatives out, get comfortable with the new audience and the new ethos. Don't put your brand at risk, experiment and adapt.” ⛓️ 🔗 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 Dominik Karaman🔗 ⛓️ Web3 Brand consultant - https://www.eekigai.xyz/ LinkedIN-   / dom-karaman   - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ⛓️ 🔗 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐉𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐲🔗 ⛓️ 🔥Thinking on Paper Website - http://www.thinkingonpaper.xyz/ 🔥Connect With Mark - https://linktr.ee/markfielding 🔥Connect With Jeremy - https://www.jeremygilbertson.com/

How Interdisciplinary Thinking Can Make You More Creative (And A Better Leader)!
To lead in today's world, it’s essential you understand complexity, see simplicity in it, and synthesize opposing viewpoints. But where do you start? This week’s guest is Julio Ottino. thought leader, scientist, author and former Dean of engineering and applied science at North western University. Julio was the co-founder and director of the North western Institute on Complex Systems. He’s a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He’s in the “One Hundred Engineers of the Modern Era" curated by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, has been a Guggenheim Fellow and is a member of both the National Academy of Engineering and the National Academy of Sciences, as well as the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His research work is centred on chaos theory and complex systems. His Book Nexus, Augmented Thinking for a Complex World, is available where books are sold. We very excited to augment our thinking.

Gamers & Developers! This Is How You Connect Music To Games Creatively, Technically & Commercially
Disruptors and curious minds! Welcome to another game-breaking episode of your new favourite emerging technology podcast. Today we're asking the question, can music and games combine to revolutionise the industry and make your favourite games more personalised? What if you were the master of the music in this game? What if you could sync your favourite songs to the beats of the game? Match the records of your life story to the story of the game? What if I told you that's possible? Our guests are Jesper Nordin and David Knox, founders of Reactional Music, a technical framework for game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine that gives developers and players control of the music in games. The Reactional patented generative music engine and music delivery platform is a faster and more efficient method to create and prototype music for developers, and for the first time, music as an in-game purchase. Please Enjoy The Show. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Quotes from the show “I started back in '87 with a company called Electronic Arts as they started to hire their first people outside of North America. It was very much a hobbyist business back in the 80s. The people who were playing games were also trying to make games in their bedrooms.” “On the technology side, as far as development goes, the rule-based systems in graphic physics and lighting allowed developers flexibility to create open worlds and for worlds to be generated around the gamer rather than everything being on rails.” “The graphics got people's attention and then the technology allowed the game play to get to a depth that had never been there before.” “We talked to them about their music listening habits and gaming habits and one of the things that was very clear - and why I was excited about the rule-based engine - was gamers were getting tired of the looping music. Even though there's a lot of clever stuff done in games today, they were turning everything off and listening to Apple or Spotify in the background.” - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - About Jesper Nordin Jesper Nordin is a Swedish composer with international acclaim. His music is performed by world renowned conductors like Esa-Pekka Salonen, Daniel Harding and Kent Nagano, and performed by world-famous musicians like Martin Fröst, Pekka Kuusisto and Malin Broman. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - About David Knox David has over 26 years in the interactive entertainment industry. He personally contributed to many of the strategic decisions that saw Electronic Art’s grow from a 2nd tier European publisher / distributor to leadership in Europe with digital and direct to retail operations in more than 20 countries. At Electronic Arts he worked with the Senior Executives and global development teams on the strategy for key franchises such as FIFA, Need for Speed, Battlefield and The Sims. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Disruptors And Curious Minds 3:40 Our Sponsors Wripple 4:43 Lessons From Electronic Arts & Spectrums 7:22 How Graphics Got Players' Attention 8:40 Punk And Classical Music 11:39 Emerging Technology For Writing Scores 14:19 Universal Rules 17:12 What Was The Spark? 20:26 What Do Gamers Want From Music 25:34 What's a Stinger? 26:40 Making Life Easier For Developers 34:15 What Do Gamers Get? 37:00 Musical Infrastructure For Gamers 41:56 Multiplayer 42:38 The Mobile App 43:36 Monetisation for labels and publishers 49:20 Closing Thoughts - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ⛓️ 🔗 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 Jesper and David🔗 ⛓️ Jesper - https://jespernordin.com/ David - https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidknox1/ Reactional Music - https://reactionalmusic.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ⛓️ 🔗 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐉𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐲🔗 ⛓️ 🔥Thinking on Paper Website - http://www.thinkingonpaper.xyz/ 🔥Connect With Mark - https://linktr.ee/markfielding 🔥Connect With Jeremy - https://www.jeremygilbertson.com/

AI On The Docket: How Are Attorneys using Artificial Intelligence for smarter litigation?
How are attorney's and legal professionals using artificial intelligence? Will there be a US AI Act by the end of 2023? Will AI legislation apply to the companies creating LLMs? How is copyright law increasingly shaped by generative AI? So many deep questions on the show today. - -- - - - - - - - - - - Kassi Burns is an attorney who has been employing AI and Machine Learning for a decade.

What are you doing to train it on the back end? How are you going to refine it? What are you doing to validate the results?” “The legal practice is focused on two things: the law and facts and how those facts intersect with the law to help decide an issue that's in dispute.” “The algorithms we use tend to be LSI (Latent semantic indexing) algorithms. It creates a very robust constellation of concepts that are interconnected, not by literal words but by concepts.” “It creates a concept-plus-service. If you're getting documents from the opposing party and you want to see what documents they have and you want a quick snapshot, you can run conceptual indices and get what we would call concept clusters. And it can drill down into layers of specificity.” “The more simple and a little bit more elegant from a workflow perspective is an SVM (support vector machine). If it's on one side of the line, it's relevant; if it's on the other side, it's not.” “I don't necessarily think blockchain is the answer to everything, but to validate the source I think that there's a compelling use case there.” “‘Human in the loop’ is a phrase that's used all the time.

But I think that each of those can be extended to higher dimensions or different versions that cannot exist in the physical world.” "You always have a gap between what the market is ready for and what is happening in the lab. There’s a lot of cool stuff happening that will be transferred at some point." “People start combining them in new ways. It's like virtual Lego. Virtual Lego that you can use to build entire worlds and create a creator economy online.” “There's going to be all the versions. The physical world on its own, the physical that translates into the virtual, then the virtual that is an extension of the physical, and then the virtual that is just like an extension of the physical, the virtual until eventually is just on its own.” “Do we actually need virtual shoes? No. But what does it mean to create an identity with virtual shoes? What else does that brand represent, beyond shoes? It represents a community. Go Supreme or go Nike. It's not about the shoes, it's about the community and trans-generational identity.” "Web3 came is more than a concept, it's an ethos, right? It’s about sharing, equal distribution, a more progressive, inclusive way of building communities and supporting products." "The four pillars are experience, commerce, community, and impact. Those are the ones that I mostly use in all of our projects." ⛓️ 🔗𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐬 𝐓𝐨 𝐆𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰🔗 ⛓️ Pico - https://www.linkedin.com/in/pico-velasquez/ VIIRA - https://www.viira.io/ ⛓️ 🔗 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐉𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐲🔗 ⛓️ 🔥Thinking on Paper Website - http://www.thinkingonpaper.xyz/ 🔥Connect With Mark - https://linktr.ee/markfielding 🔥Connect With Jeremy - https://www.jeremygilbertson.com/#web3 #emergingtech #metaverse #literarynfts #culturetransformation #media #virtualworlds #film3 #blockchain #cryptocurrency #nfts #nftcommunity #thinkingonpaper #computerscience #computationalarchitect #multiverse #harvardtechlab

Josh Goldblum: Building Immersive Experiences For The World's Museums
"I would love to see people feel more empowered to have real art in their world. I think the amount of visual culture, great visual culture, that exists versus the amount that's been disseminated into the world is way out of whack." "If something is in a museum, there's usually a reason it's there. And usually, there's a story, and there's a story within the story." "We are pairing artists with digital innovation, digital production, to create bespoke digital projects that we're then tokenizing as NFTs." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 🎨Josh Goldblum has over 20 years of experience in art and emerging tech.

What makes something intelligent?” “We, as humans, have become the measure of intelligence. We’ve created these metrics, these numbers, and said, ‘This is what is smart, and then you’re all stupid.'” “Nature has more for us to learn from than any of this other stuff. We think we’re brilliant because we created the internet, the atomic age.” Corrales Cachola: “There is no culture, there’s no community around AI, it’s just how can I get mine, and how can I be better than the next guy?” “So AI comes along, and a lot of the decision-makers say, hey, we can basically replace you. Well, they’ve already replaced these people, they’re already using them, and I think that’s the unfair thing about AI.” “That’s why I don’t like a lot of the AI implementation, even in the toolsets that we use, the SaaS tools that we see. It’s like, did I ask for this? No, no one asked for this, they just built it in, they baked it in.” “When people talk about that, they forget the connections that were made to get to Einstein and then from Einstein to other people.” “It’s not just about high intelligence; it’s about the connections that were made and that process of communication between people that builds true meaning and value.” “Consciousness connects to love, community, and other things.”

Keatly Haldeman is the Co-founder and CEO of Dequency, a peer-to-peer marketplace for music rightsholders to license their work to web3 creators and platforms, including NFT artists, metaverse content creators, and on-chain game developers. His love affair with music began at age 11 playing drums to "I Just Called To Say I Love You" with his first band for the school talent show. Weekend jam sessions turned into recording sessions, tours, production and composing for TV, film, games and commercials. He soon discovered music synchronization licensing while pitching his band for an MTV show and dove head-first into sync and publishing. Prior to Dequency, Keatly was a founding partner and CEO of Riptide Music Group.

Web3 And Global IP: Blasting Down The Storytelling Doors For The Creator Economy

Web3 And Global IP: Blasting Down The Storytelling Doors For The Creator Economy
𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝-𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐏. The next Marvel or Stars Wars, hell, the next Peppa Pig, Pokémon, Mario or Last of The Summer Wine will be written in web3. Far, far, far from the ornate ivory towers of Beverly Hills and Bel Air. By unknown storytellers with nothing but an idea, ambition and the serendipitous fortune to be alive and awake and kicking in a time when ownership and control and monetisation can be stripped of predatory third parties. The seeds of the script will be planted in a Discord channel. Developed in a Zoom call. Written in Notion. The creators will share drafts across a community of writers and fans and filmmakers on Farcaster. Artists will use AI to seduce. It will be sufficiently decentralized. The community will grow. Barry in London will edit. So will Talida in Mexico and Jean-Claude in Calcutta. Lunch break, scene break, point break. NFT holders will imagine profound and tumultuous backstories that dump flawed characters into relationships they never planned; riotous and romantic situations they never saw coming. They'll create worlds and kingdoms and seedy underground gambling dens where pimps and pushers and Japanese jazz singers coerce and manipulate for attention. First act. Second act. Third act. A thousand true fans will converge at the creative epicentre and stake their claim to a new story. A news story. And they'll tell the world. And that's how it will happen. Maybe. Enjoy the show. ~~~~~~~~~ ⛓️ 🔗𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐬 𝐓𝐨 𝐆𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰🔗 ⛓️ StoryCO - https://story.co/about DiscoBall - https://story.co/discoball StoryCo Twitter - https://twitter.com/StoryCoHQ Producers - https://story.co/producers Justin LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/justinalanis/ ~~~~~~~~~ Quotes From The Show: "We think that the best stories are going to come from this unleashing of creativity where community and fans can coalesce and interact with one another." "It was a really incredible way for him to see just how rich the experience can be with creators when you tap into their fandom." "You don't have any connection to the fans who actually consume that content because the streaming platforms own all of the connection to the fans themselves." "So, we asked ourselves a question: How do you create a better system? A system that creates this connection with the fans and the community in a way in which fans and creators can enter into that system more seamlessly. It becomes more egalitarian in its approach where anybody can come in, contribute creative ideas to that production, and get ownership in that production as well." JUSTIN ALANIS Justin Alanis is a seasoned tech entrepreneur and angel investor who has spent the last decade championing innovation in the Web3 and the cryptocurrency sector. His journey started in Private Equity, swiftly followed by the creation of his successful venture, Rentlytics, in 2013.
