In this episode of the DeFi Podcast, we're joined by Brendan Joyce (@azzabazazz), CEO of Pakt (@PaktWorld), who is revolutionizing how businesses are built on blockchain.
Brendan shares his fascinating journey from Hollywood screenwriter to Obama campaign worker to blockchain innovator, and how winning a pitch contest launched Pakt as the "WordPress for Web3." Learn how Pakt is using AI tools to dramatically lower the barrier to creating blockchain-powered businesses, potentially changing the way we think about entrepreneurship in the digital age.
Our hosts Bill, Jared (@M0xrrissey), and Rhett also cover recent market moves with Bitcoin hitting 97K, the Movement Labs controversy, and the challenges crypto projects face when working with market makers.
Key Topics:
- How Pakt creates "chain sites" that seamlessly integrate blockchain functionality
- Non-custodial escrow systems that protect both freelancers and clients
- Using AI to create blockchain businesses in days instead of months
- The vision for turning early adopters into builders
- The journey from Rwanda to Nairobi building with a global team
Whether you're interested in building on blockchain, AI's impact on crypto, or the future of decentralized business models, this episode offers fresh insights into how the industry is evolving beyond price speculation toward real utility.
