00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:11,780
Hey, everybody. Shawn Yeager here recording a solo episode to do a bit of a recap of the first 12 episodes of Trust Revolution.

2
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,860
But I first wanna thank you if you have spent some time,

3
00:00:16,535 --> 00:00:19,275
listened to the podcast. It's just beginning,

4
00:00:19,735 --> 00:00:20,235
and

5
00:00:20,615 --> 00:00:21,835
there are a lot

6
00:00:22,455 --> 00:00:29,435
of podcasts, great podcasts out there competing for your time and attention. So if you've invested some with me, I am grateful, and I appreciate it.

7
00:00:29,970 --> 00:00:31,430
When I began Trust Revolution,

8
00:00:31,970 --> 00:00:33,110
I had an idea

9
00:00:34,210 --> 00:00:40,870
that it was worth taking a lot of what certainly I benefited from, which is education information from

10
00:00:41,330 --> 00:00:43,830
some fantastic individuals who have

11
00:00:44,415 --> 00:00:49,635
taught about the importance of freedom technology broadly speaking, who've taught about the importance of Bitcoin

12
00:00:50,175 --> 00:00:50,915
most notably,

13
00:00:51,375 --> 00:00:58,195
but really have shown me and and that has in turn greatly enhanced my life what is possible

14
00:00:58,980 --> 00:01:01,640
when you take back ownership, you take back sovereignty

15
00:01:02,020 --> 00:01:03,720
over things like your money.

16
00:01:04,420 --> 00:01:07,400
And that is hard to overstate. It's hard to

17
00:01:07,860 --> 00:01:08,360
overemphasize

18
00:01:09,060 --> 00:01:11,960
how meaningful that can be, how important that can be.

19
00:01:13,064 --> 00:01:16,045
What I want to do uniquely, I hope, with Trust Revolution

20
00:01:17,145 --> 00:01:24,365
is to reach out to those of you who may be on the bubble. And for those who are deep down the proverbial rabbit hole, I hope to

21
00:01:24,744 --> 00:01:32,230
be able to deliver something of value to you as well. But really, it's those who are curious, who have an idea, an inkling that

22
00:01:32,610 --> 00:01:36,550
something is not quite right and there must be a better way. And

23
00:01:37,490 --> 00:01:43,590
the theme, the title, certainly Trust Revolution and and what I've written so far to convey the purpose

24
00:01:44,155 --> 00:01:46,494
is that it really is about

25
00:01:47,274 --> 00:01:47,774
acknowledging

26
00:01:48,795 --> 00:01:51,854
that the traditional institutions, be they government,

27
00:01:52,235 --> 00:01:52,735
media,

28
00:01:53,595 --> 00:01:54,095
corporations,

29
00:01:54,954 --> 00:01:57,830
have largely lost our trust, and we

30
00:01:58,450 --> 00:01:59,729
can, you know, rake the,

31
00:02:00,290 --> 00:02:03,189
coals over with with regard to how

32
00:02:03,650 --> 00:02:05,509
badly it has been damaged.

33
00:02:05,890 --> 00:02:10,870
But I think most of us, if we're reasonable, would would say that we just do not trust those institutions

34
00:02:11,375 --> 00:02:16,915
as maybe we used to, certainly as our parents used to, as previous generations used to, maybe that's a good thing.

35
00:02:17,375 --> 00:02:19,555
But on the bright side, there are tools

36
00:02:19,855 --> 00:02:21,155
and there are,

37
00:02:22,334 --> 00:02:23,555
assets, there's education,

38
00:02:23,935 --> 00:02:25,155
so much out there

39
00:02:25,470 --> 00:02:27,489
that we can use should we choose.

40
00:02:27,790 --> 00:02:30,930
And so in season one, what I hope I've accomplished

41
00:02:31,549 --> 00:02:34,290
is to present a pretty broad array

42
00:02:34,670 --> 00:02:35,170
of

43
00:02:35,470 --> 00:02:39,010
interesting conversations, certainly with people that have taught me a lot,

44
00:02:39,995 --> 00:02:43,055
ranging from builders like Marx and Fran,

45
00:02:43,435 --> 00:02:44,175
who respectively

46
00:02:44,475 --> 00:02:45,135
are tackling,

47
00:02:46,075 --> 00:02:49,615
private AI AI with with which we can share

48
00:02:49,995 --> 00:02:52,095
intimate details and know,

49
00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:53,799
certainly, cryptographically,

50
00:02:54,180 --> 00:02:54,680
certainly,

51
00:02:55,379 --> 00:02:55,879
that

52
00:02:56,180 --> 00:02:58,599
that information is is secure, is safe

53
00:02:59,140 --> 00:03:05,079
to, in the case of Fran, reimagining what an app store could be, which may in some ways sound trivial.

54
00:03:05,895 --> 00:03:10,875
But, you know, as much as we we carry these things around and as much as we do with them,

55
00:03:11,575 --> 00:03:16,955
the way in which we are held captive largely by Apple and Google in terms of what we're

56
00:03:17,255 --> 00:03:18,635
allowed access to,

57
00:03:19,255 --> 00:03:20,715
something as simple

58
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,380
as being able to pay for

59
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,020
an application outside the rails, outside the realm of an Apple or Google,

60
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,660
to being able to communicate in a way that we wish, to being able to say the things

61
00:03:34,105 --> 00:03:34,925
that we want,

62
00:03:35,305 --> 00:03:40,525
that has a really, really big impact on our day to day lives. We then have had conversations

63
00:03:40,905 --> 00:03:41,565
with futurists,

64
00:03:42,665 --> 00:03:48,605
Bronwyn Williams in South Africa to John Robb, who is a former special ops operator

65
00:03:49,100 --> 00:03:54,160
and author and strategist who has presented some really interesting ideas in episode one

66
00:03:54,700 --> 00:03:55,200
about

67
00:03:55,819 --> 00:03:59,200
networked tribes, networked swarms, really. And so,

68
00:03:59,819 --> 00:04:02,319
the idea that things are increasingly polarizing

69
00:04:03,305 --> 00:04:04,685
and that there are means

70
00:04:05,465 --> 00:04:09,485
of emphasizing a message that a particular tribe or swarm,

71
00:04:10,025 --> 00:04:16,044
or controlling party wishes to get across and that that is only going to be magnified and accelerated with AI.

72
00:04:17,660 --> 00:04:20,960
To conversations with, gentleman by the name of Rashad Tabakawala,

73
00:04:21,260 --> 00:04:26,720
who is a global executive consultant and has a very particular perspective

74
00:04:27,180 --> 00:04:29,040
on what AI and other technologies,

75
00:04:29,740 --> 00:04:31,040
will do, what KYC

76
00:04:31,660 --> 00:04:33,515
looks like in the future,

77
00:04:34,535 --> 00:04:35,035
to,

78
00:04:35,975 --> 00:04:41,275
a government insider. My most recent conversation in episode 12 with Open State, who is

79
00:04:41,895 --> 00:04:42,395
a

80
00:04:42,935 --> 00:04:43,435
policy

81
00:04:43,815 --> 00:04:45,195
analyst and advisor,

82
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:46,660
in

83
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,020
a government.

84
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:49,860
We don't we don't know which,

85
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:51,140
but does,

86
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,860
work advising on things like anti money

87
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,220
laundering and KYC, which is a whole

88
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,300
sort of basket of

89
00:05:00,595 --> 00:05:02,694
trouble that in many cases,

90
00:05:03,875 --> 00:05:09,814
does far more harm than good, and I think that that is a statement I can make that's backed by data.

91
00:05:10,594 --> 00:05:13,335
So everywhere we look from our money

92
00:05:13,710 --> 00:05:17,170
to the devices we carry with us every day in our pockets,

93
00:05:18,110 --> 00:05:20,050
to the way our money moves,

94
00:05:20,670 --> 00:05:24,370
to the conversations we have individually and in groups,

95
00:05:24,990 --> 00:05:27,250
these are controlled, manipulated,

96
00:05:29,104 --> 00:05:31,125
assailed in some cases, certainly,

97
00:05:33,025 --> 00:05:33,525
surveilled.

98
00:05:34,065 --> 00:05:34,965
And so

99
00:05:35,345 --> 00:05:36,645
we have that as a backdrop.

100
00:05:37,664 --> 00:05:41,044
We have, for example, in my conversation with Matt O'Dell,

101
00:05:42,410 --> 00:05:44,490
who is a long time,

102
00:05:44,889 --> 00:05:48,030
Bitcoin advocate, educator, builder, investor,

103
00:05:48,570 --> 00:05:49,949
presented us with

104
00:05:50,889 --> 00:05:51,949
a number of options,

105
00:05:52,410 --> 00:05:57,310
but also presented, I think, us with a humbling assertion that, perhaps only 5%

106
00:05:57,825 --> 00:06:04,645
of individuals who could embrace things like Bitcoin will choose to do that, but that the choice is ours and we can.

107
00:06:05,345 --> 00:06:09,045
So I can't say that there's been a straight line through these conversations,

108
00:06:09,425 --> 00:06:12,645
but it has absolutely been exploratory and I hope it's been

109
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:18,340
valuable to you. Again, I know for me, what it has done is sort of put some pieces on the board,

110
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,820
and created a sense of

111
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,620
different perspectives from different angles and different roles and responsibilities,

112
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,065
be it corporate to independent developer and hacker and builder.

113
00:06:31,164 --> 00:06:38,944
The themes that I see having come out, that I'll just, you know, talk about for a minute. The first is that trust is eroding, we know that, and that centralization

114
00:06:39,405 --> 00:06:40,544
is largely the culprit.

115
00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:42,560
And so a theme

116
00:06:43,100 --> 00:06:45,120
of these conversations, a theme of,

117
00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:53,360
for example, the sorts of conversations that I might have on a daily or weekly basis at a place like Bitcoin Park, where I'm a member here in Nashville,

118
00:06:54,139 --> 00:06:54,639
are

119
00:06:55,635 --> 00:06:56,775
about decentralization,

120
00:06:57,155 --> 00:06:59,575
which is quite a buzzword, but I think it's one that's important

121
00:07:00,595 --> 00:07:01,415
to underscore

122
00:07:02,195 --> 00:07:10,455
in that many of the challenges that we face are in that so much of our technology, so much of our culture of our society

123
00:07:11,139 --> 00:07:19,960
has tended toward centralization. And there are many reasons for this and and there are many others who could speak more eloquently to it than I can, but that is just the state of affairs.

124
00:07:20,340 --> 00:07:21,400
And that in order

125
00:07:21,780 --> 00:07:22,440
to reclaim

126
00:07:22,915 --> 00:07:26,535
agency, in order to reclaim some of our own individual power, we need

127
00:07:26,915 --> 00:07:30,375
to turn away from that centralization which means making hard choices.

128
00:07:31,475 --> 00:07:36,755
I will just illustrate that example. I after having iPhones since 02/2007,

129
00:07:36,755 --> 00:07:48,930
about a month ago, I personally made the switch to, a Google Pixel, irony not lost on me, running something called Graphene OS, which is a an alternative operating system that gives you immense control

130
00:07:49,470 --> 00:07:49,970
over

131
00:07:50,270 --> 00:07:55,715
how these apps communicate with each other, with the cloud, what data gets sent back to to whom.

132
00:07:56,255 --> 00:07:58,915
And is it easy? Is it trivial? No.

133
00:07:59,375 --> 00:08:04,435
As I mentioned on Noster today, privacy is a luxury good. I aspire,

134
00:08:05,455 --> 00:08:11,210
to be in a place where it is a commodity, but it's not. You know, I have the luxury of taking the time to set something like that up.

135
00:08:11,590 --> 00:08:21,690
I do appreciate that that is a luxury. I appreciate that that's a a benefit that I have. It is not going to be something everyone has the time to do, but the tools are there. So I use that just as an illustration

136
00:08:22,070 --> 00:08:22,730
is that,

137
00:08:23,385 --> 00:08:24,845
you know, this this centralizing

138
00:08:26,025 --> 00:08:33,725
nature of coming down to really two devices, be it an Apple or or a Google device running Android, that is an example.

139
00:08:34,185 --> 00:08:47,529
The fact that so many of us turn to x Twitter, Facebook, depending on really your demographic, your age group, that is also tremendously centralizing. There are alternatives. Here again, Nostra, big fan, big user, big advocate,

140
00:08:48,790 --> 00:08:49,690
but it is

141
00:08:50,069 --> 00:08:50,569
choosing

142
00:08:51,175 --> 00:08:58,555
to, in some ways, leave behind these very, very large platforms and go somewhere where there is more freedom, where there is

143
00:09:00,295 --> 00:09:04,715
far, far, far less control. And, certainly, we think little to no

144
00:09:06,769 --> 00:09:08,790
surveillance going on, for example.

145
00:09:09,810 --> 00:09:19,110
So I think, you know, the the takeaway here is that in this first theme, trust is running, we know this. I I believe if you're watching, if you're bothering to watch this, you would agree.

146
00:09:19,995 --> 00:09:22,255
And the work to be done is to decentralize.

147
00:09:22,635 --> 00:09:29,535
And and again, that's far harder said than done, but that is essentially the the theme in the work. The second is that

148
00:09:30,235 --> 00:09:34,575
okay. So great. We have these options to, in in many ways, decentralize

149
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:36,100
communications,

150
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:37,060
money,

151
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,780
social media, identity.

152
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:41,860
Talked with,

153
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:49,860
doctor David Strayhorn who is a neurologist, but also has put has poured really ten years of blood, sweat, and tears

154
00:09:50,385 --> 00:09:50,885
into

155
00:09:51,425 --> 00:09:56,805
webs of trust. And that is to say, how do we create these emergent webs

156
00:09:58,785 --> 00:09:59,285
of

157
00:09:59,825 --> 00:10:01,285
relationships with individuals

158
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:07,860
for whom we trust or that we trust in particular context. And so I trust

159
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,819
Bob to be able to make, great recommendations

160
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:11,860
about

161
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,459
where to stay in a particular city. I trust Alice

162
00:10:15,839 --> 00:10:17,060
to advise me

163
00:10:18,465 --> 00:10:23,445
on how to invest my money. Whatever these these examples might be, the point is we can,

164
00:10:24,145 --> 00:10:24,885
take back

165
00:10:25,345 --> 00:10:25,845
this,

166
00:10:26,625 --> 00:10:29,765
trust and place it in the hands of those that we choose

167
00:10:30,290 --> 00:10:44,150
based on certain algorithms and and and data that we have access to and that is very transparent. So that's an example of a tool of an option of a choice we can make, but there's promise and there's peril. Peril in the sense maybe overstating it that

168
00:10:45,155 --> 00:10:47,255
it's tough. It's tough. It's time consuming.

169
00:10:47,955 --> 00:10:50,695
It is nontrivial to make these choices. It's nontrivial

170
00:10:51,475 --> 00:10:51,975
to

171
00:10:52,355 --> 00:10:54,455
become educated and equipped

172
00:10:54,835 --> 00:10:57,655
to self custody your money in the case of Bitcoin.

173
00:10:57,990 --> 00:10:58,890
But, again, incredibly

174
00:10:59,350 --> 00:11:04,010
valuable, and I could go on for hours about why that is, but I wanna keep this sort of high level.

175
00:11:05,750 --> 00:11:09,850
So that second theme, you know, again, is that, yes, there are tremendous

176
00:11:10,310 --> 00:11:12,410
options. There there's great promise,

177
00:11:12,950 --> 00:11:13,450
but

178
00:11:13,905 --> 00:11:17,285
it is surprising to me to find in some of these conversations

179
00:11:18,225 --> 00:11:18,725
that

180
00:11:19,585 --> 00:11:23,925
many of these technologies are looked at as simply too nascent, too

181
00:11:24,305 --> 00:11:26,085
geeky, too out on the fringe

182
00:11:26,465 --> 00:11:29,525
by some of the folks that I've spoken with in the first 12 episodes.

183
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,340
It doesn't surprise me, but I was hoping to be,

184
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,020
pleasantly surprised. But I think it's a it's a good humbling reminder

185
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:38,940
of how early we are.

186
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:44,140
But again, for those who choose to make these these changes, the the options are there and they're powerful.

187
00:11:44,855 --> 00:11:48,555
Another theme that I pulled out is that citizen action

188
00:11:49,334 --> 00:11:50,315
and transparency

189
00:11:51,014 --> 00:11:52,394
that we can bring about

190
00:11:53,095 --> 00:11:54,075
through this action

191
00:11:54,615 --> 00:12:00,690
is the kind of resistance that I think is going to be most powerful in bringing about change in institutions. And this is largely

192
00:12:01,150 --> 00:12:05,410
through my most recent conversation with Open State, the pseudonymous civil servant that I mentioned.

193
00:12:06,110 --> 00:12:12,690
He reminded us that I that, you know, it's not just pull out this piece of technology, it's not just use signal,

194
00:12:13,495 --> 00:12:17,274
for your for your conversations, your chats, it's going to be freedom of information

195
00:12:17,894 --> 00:12:21,435
requests, it's going to be putting pressure on elected officials.

196
00:12:22,615 --> 00:12:27,675
Can we do the same in media? Can we do the same thing for corporations? Obviously, it works a bit differently,

197
00:12:29,180 --> 00:12:38,000
but I think we can if we choose to. And that that inaction is is our greatest enemy. I'm just as guilty as anyone. But it was a it was a great takeaway for me

198
00:12:38,460 --> 00:12:41,040
that to simply shine light on,

199
00:12:41,755 --> 00:12:44,975
the dark corners where a lot of the creeping surveillance

200
00:12:45,675 --> 00:12:46,735
and a lot of

201
00:12:47,675 --> 00:12:55,375
the trickery happens is is a tremendous tool at our disposal should we should we choose to use it. Another conversation with Yael Asowski,

202
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,899
who is deputy director at the Consumers Choice Center,

203
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:00,820
is to remind us

204
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:04,420
that in so much of the legislative work

205
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:05,620
that

206
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,180
organizations like his do,

207
00:13:08,565 --> 00:13:16,905
It is not to convince the government to permit us to do something. It is to restrain the government, and there too is a great reminder

208
00:13:17,285 --> 00:13:21,945
of the power that we have, that we are by design given, at least certainly in Western

209
00:13:22,610 --> 00:13:24,050
democracies and and representative,

210
00:13:25,170 --> 00:13:25,670
governments,

211
00:13:26,610 --> 00:13:28,630
that we do have that power,

212
00:13:29,089 --> 00:13:32,470
you know, should we choose to exercise it, which I think is is the critical piece.

213
00:13:33,170 --> 00:13:34,630
Another theme is

214
00:13:35,845 --> 00:13:38,585
the business and economic shifts that are happening

215
00:13:38,965 --> 00:13:43,625
in this world where trust is is diminished and and shrinking.

216
00:13:44,085 --> 00:13:48,025
I think that erosion is reshaping work, reshaping business.

217
00:13:48,730 --> 00:13:49,950
These particular guests,

218
00:13:50,330 --> 00:13:51,950
thinking about Rashad and Bronwyn,

219
00:13:52,730 --> 00:14:00,030
showed that centralized models dominate because they're profitable, and that's no surprise, but it's, again, good to underscore,

220
00:14:00,815 --> 00:14:02,915
the cracks, you know, are are are forming,

221
00:14:03,295 --> 00:14:05,795
and I think that there are real challengers.

222
00:14:06,895 --> 00:14:11,154
AI, which is a central theme and it is not surprising because it is everywhere all the time,

223
00:14:12,335 --> 00:14:15,315
that will make or break some of these

224
00:14:16,020 --> 00:14:19,720
corporations, some of these governments. It will, you know, deepfakes these

225
00:14:21,220 --> 00:14:24,280
thirty, sixty, hundred and twenty second videos that you can now

226
00:14:24,740 --> 00:14:26,520
create through Google v o three

227
00:14:27,220 --> 00:14:29,080
are, to my eyes, indistinguishable

228
00:14:29,595 --> 00:14:33,454
from reality. I think the vast majority of individuals would not be able

229
00:14:33,995 --> 00:14:37,454
to call out what is now AI generated versus real.

230
00:14:37,995 --> 00:14:38,735
That is

231
00:14:39,274 --> 00:14:39,774
horrifying

232
00:14:40,154 --> 00:14:44,975
in some ways, but I think it's going to force, you know, much as much as literacy

233
00:14:45,730 --> 00:14:51,190
became a critical skill, much as media literacy became critical perhaps in the nineties and February,

234
00:14:51,410 --> 00:14:52,070
I think

235
00:14:52,450 --> 00:14:56,550
this new level of, let's call it AI literacy, will be crucial, not only for the workforce,

236
00:14:57,330 --> 00:14:58,310
but for individuals.

237
00:14:59,410 --> 00:14:59,910
And

238
00:15:00,504 --> 00:15:02,285
perhaps in a situation where

239
00:15:03,225 --> 00:15:04,285
we cannot

240
00:15:04,904 --> 00:15:07,884
simply and blindly trust what our eyes

241
00:15:08,504 --> 00:15:12,365
see, we will need to dig deeper. We'll need to look at things

242
00:15:12,985 --> 00:15:13,485
like

243
00:15:14,350 --> 00:15:14,850
cryptographically,

244
00:15:16,910 --> 00:15:18,690
signed media that we have

245
00:15:19,150 --> 00:15:19,650
authenticity

246
00:15:20,110 --> 00:15:20,610
guaranteed

247
00:15:20,990 --> 00:15:23,650
or rather, presented to us. We have attribution,

248
00:15:24,750 --> 00:15:30,345
that we can check and verify. So here too, don't trust, verify. I think that's that's the theme here.

249
00:15:31,205 --> 00:15:38,505
So with that, I'm I'm jumping around a bit, but the idea is just to present what I took away from these first 12 conversations.

250
00:15:39,445 --> 00:15:45,065
And so when I set out to begin Trust Revolution, as I say, it was really

251
00:15:45,820 --> 00:15:48,720
to reach out to those of you who may be on the bubble.

252
00:15:49,740 --> 00:15:54,959
I hope it's given you some some food for thought. I hope it's given you some some tools and techniques to pursue

253
00:15:55,899 --> 00:15:59,360
this first season, as as I'll call it. Really,

254
00:16:00,315 --> 00:16:05,615
the idea of a season is somewhat arbitrary given that it's a new podcast and that it is

255
00:16:06,155 --> 00:16:06,815
a broad,

256
00:16:07,115 --> 00:16:09,435
broader theme. You know, it's not a it's not a,

257
00:16:10,795 --> 00:16:12,175
sort of a story driven,

258
00:16:12,770 --> 00:16:20,070
season where you would be able to have natural break points. But the idea for me is to put some bookmarks on it and to say, okay. These first 12 episodes,

259
00:16:20,610 --> 00:16:30,475
these were discovery and these were exploratory. And, certainly, as I say, it's been great for me. I've learned a lot. I hope it's been good and valuable for you, but I think what it has done is this. It has shown me

260
00:16:30,935 --> 00:16:31,435
that

261
00:16:32,055 --> 00:16:41,355
what is most promising and what's most interesting for me to pursue, and I hope in turn that will come through in in in, you know, greater episodes and and greater value,

262
00:16:42,170 --> 00:16:43,310
is to

263
00:16:43,690 --> 00:16:45,630
focus on the builders, the advocates,

264
00:16:46,569 --> 00:16:47,069
the

265
00:16:47,449 --> 00:16:50,110
cheerleaders, those who are showing the way

266
00:16:50,730 --> 00:16:53,470
to how we make change, how we

267
00:16:54,105 --> 00:17:01,885
take back control of what we trust, who we trust, what gets exposed about us to those who would presume to demand that we trust them.

268
00:17:02,265 --> 00:17:06,205
That to me is is a particularly interesting sort of sub thread.

269
00:17:06,900 --> 00:17:09,960
And so what I wanna do going ahead is

270
00:17:10,660 --> 00:17:11,160
to

271
00:17:11,620 --> 00:17:20,680
double down there. And so the conversations I'll be having, the individuals that I'll be reaching out to to have these conversations with will be

272
00:17:21,355 --> 00:17:27,695
people who are pushing policy changes, people who are building alternatives, people who are educating and showing the way

273
00:17:28,794 --> 00:17:30,575
with emphasis on

274
00:17:31,034 --> 00:17:32,174
translating this,

275
00:17:32,475 --> 00:17:36,255
you know, not going so deep that it's it's it's bewildering.

276
00:17:37,220 --> 00:17:41,080
But starting with why. Why does this matter? What are we attempting to address?

277
00:17:41,780 --> 00:17:47,000
And then highlighting some of the tools, the technologies, and the changes that we can make.

278
00:17:47,780 --> 00:17:48,280
My

279
00:17:48,740 --> 00:17:58,995
closing and really single request in addition to thanking you for your time, and I I really do mean that, is let me know. Let me know who I should talk to. It's,

280
00:17:59,935 --> 00:18:03,660
new. It's a new production. It's a new podcast. And so a lot of the outreach

281
00:18:04,860 --> 00:18:06,880
have done, you win some, you lose some. There've been some great folks

282
00:18:07,180 --> 00:18:11,200
that I've been hoping to speak with that I haven't heard back, from yet at least. Conversely,

283
00:18:11,820 --> 00:18:13,760
for example, and I'm holding this

284
00:18:14,220 --> 00:18:22,615
fantastic book by Cory Doctorow, who I have followed for probably twenty years, and I'm really excited to speak with Corey later in the year. He coined this term.

285
00:18:23,235 --> 00:18:26,535
He's got some long standing, fascinating perspectives on

286
00:18:27,155 --> 00:18:37,230
the harm that things like digital rights management have done in total when, you know, in a narrow scope, they've been promised and sold to us as saving industries.

287
00:18:37,770 --> 00:18:47,790
So, again, if you have ideas about individuals you'd like for me to speak with, if you have folks that are lesser known that, are doing great work, as I say, in

288
00:18:48,125 --> 00:18:49,345
advocacy, education,

289
00:18:49,725 --> 00:18:51,425
building, who are going

290
00:18:51,725 --> 00:19:01,825
to make changes or rather, you know, enable us to make changes in who we trust and and how we trust, then I'd love to hear from you. And you could do that by finding me on noster at trust rev,

291
00:19:02,140 --> 00:19:08,320
by emailing me hello at trust revolution dot c o, or just go to trust revolution dot co.

292
00:19:08,940 --> 00:19:13,840
So thanks again, everyone. I look forward to bringing you some great, great episodes

293
00:19:14,515 --> 00:19:17,815
coming up very soon. I expect that season two will kick off

294
00:19:18,195 --> 00:19:19,335
by early August,

295
00:19:19,715 --> 00:19:20,115
but,
