Paul Frambot is the CoFounder and CEO of Morpho.
In this episode, we explore how Morpho's modular, permissionless infrastructure prices risk, allowing anyone to create lending and borrowing markets with any asset. Paul shares his insights on Morpho’s popular Coinbase integration for $600M in Bitcoin-backed loans, the growing role of RWAs, and why Morpho recently transitioned to a token-only model. We also dive into how Morpho V2 will introduce fixed-rate lending and multichain expansion, plus their grand ambition to collapse the cost of trust in finance.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
