This week, Anna sits down with Tony Swantek - a self-made entrepreneur, blockchain pioneer, and the visionary behind R-Link, the blockchain-powered video conferencing platform set to rival Zoom.

In this conversation, they dive deep into the future of decentralisation, digital sovereignty, and how blockchain is rewriting the rules for how we connect, work, and build wealth.

Tony shares his story of building billion-dollar companies, meeting the creators of Gala Games, and discovering how blockchain could bank the unbankable and return power to everyday people. Together, Anna and Tony unpack the R-Link ecosystem - how users can own the platforms they use, get rewarded with tokens, and become early pioneers in a new Web3 economy.

This episode is equal parts visionary and practical - perfect for anyone curious about where the internet is heading, how decentralisation changes business forever, and how to start taking part in the new digital revolution.

“Blockchain isn’t just a buzzword — it’s the next evolution of ownership, reward, and freedom.” - Tony Swantek

“Everything’s a risk - but so is dating a dickhead. I’d rather take mine on the blockchain.” - Anna Rose
