Episode Description from the Publisher

I help founders & executives generating more than $10M in revenue find their Easy Mode. Start here: https://ryanhanley.com/subscribe Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtube.com/ryanmhanley The internet we use today is only half built. We spent the last 40 years digitalizing communication and content. Now, we are digitalizing value, intelligence, and work. Matthew Le Merle, Managing Partner of Fifth Era and Blockchain Coinvestors, calls this the autonomous digital economy. And if you are running a business today, it is coming for your margins whether you are ready or not. We break down why blockchain adoption feels slow when it is right on schedule. We look at the hidden taxes built into our current financial system and how tokenization removes that friction. We also look at AI agents doing work humans were never designed to do in the first place. You can choose the axis of fear, worrying about what innovation will cost you. Or you can choose the axis of the innovator, believing new technology will solve today's problems and open opportunities we cannot even imagine yet. This is the way. Hanley.
