Web3 is more than just a buzzword—it’s a slow but steady revolution. In this episode, we sit down with Dr Kathryn Messegee, co-founder of Geode Blockchain, to explore how decentralization is changing the internet, empowering artists, and redefining digital ownership.

With a PhD in mathematics and a background in defense technology, Dr Messegee shares her journey from discovering crypto in 2010 to building blockchain-based alternatives to today’s centralized giant platforms. We dive into:

  • The problems with Web2 and how platforms exploit creators
  • How Web3 and blockchain give artists true ownership and financial freedom
  • The power of NFTs & smart contracts for musicians, authors, and designers
  • The future of digital communities and direct artist-fan relationships
  • The environmental concerns of blockchain and how newer models are solving them

If you’re an indie artist or simply curious about the future of decentralized technology, digital ownership, and how Web3 is reshaping the creative economy, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
