• Wall Street Is Moving Money On-Chain. What That Means for Your Business | Graham Ferguson
    May 6 2026

    The biggest names in traditional finance are moving assets on-chain, and the infrastructure handling those transactions is already at capacity.

    This conversation with Graham Ferguson, recorded at Consensus Hong Kong, covers what that shift means for anyone operating in capital-intensive markets: how compliance went from a cost centre to a competitive edge, why the roughly $40 billion currently tokenized is nothing against the trillions still sitting in traditional instruments, and what went wrong in the tokenizations that failed.

    Graham runs ecosystems at Securitize - the platform BlackRock, Apollo, and KKR all chose to move funds on-chain, and he's candid about where the model breaks down when teams build for the asset instead of the end user. If you're weighing whether on-chain infrastructure matters for your business, this is the operational picture from someone sitting at the centre of it.

  • How Stake's Head of SEO Built a Schema System That Dominates Every SERP | Peter Macinković
    May 1 2026

    Stake consistently holds the #1 position for "online gambling" across algorithm updates, and the term doesn't appear in a single page title on their site. The ranking is driven entirely by schema architecture and entity association.

    Peter Macinković, Head of SEO at Stake, explains how he designed schema templates for 12+ page types that automatically produce site links on Google results, why most SEOs destroy their commercial intent by chasing FAQ schema, and the specific property ("subjectOf") that builds brand-entity connections strong enough to rank for keywords you never targeted. He also walks through how his team generates 50 manual schema enhancements in 90 minutes.

    Peter has managed SEO for a platform running 40,000+ games and 1,500+ live sporting events at any time, and he's tested this system across eight years in e-commerce and iGaming. If you're running a site with more than a few hundred pages, this conversation changes how you think about structured data.

  • Zero Drawdown for 5 Years: How Evan Szu Built a Portfolio That Beat Every Major Asset Class
    Apr 29 2026

    Most founders think they're diversified. They own stocks in different sectors, maybe some bonds, maybe some crypto. Then the market drops and everything crashes together because none of it was actually uncorrelated. Evan Szu manages portfolios that beat Bitcoin, gold, stocks, bonds, and silver over five years with zero drawdown years. Sounds impossible, you find out what's actually in it.

    Evan is a Stanford PhD with 30 years of trading experience, whose father co-founded the International Neural Network Society in 1987 making AI a dinner table conversation decades before ChatGPT existed.

    He now runs Gamma Prime - a marketplace for tokenized private investments and organizes the Tokenized Capital Summit the largest side events at Token2049 and Consensus with over 20000 attendees across live and streaming.

    This conversation covers why he stopped shorting the market permanently, why most diversification is a seatbelt that fails in a crash, why tokenization alone solves nothing without distribution, and why he believes data is the only real moat in AI.

    If you're sitting on capital and your only plan is stocks and crypto, this conversation will change how you think about what to do with it.

  • A Data Scientist Explains How Google Actually Scores Your Website | Leo Soulas
    Apr 27 2026

    Google dropped a site from position one to page eleven after users started closing their browsers instead of returning to search, and the owner had GSC data showing exactly when it happened.

    Lefteris Soulas, a data scientist who built Keyword Cupid after working inside Fortune 500 engineering teams, explains the satisfaction signals Google now weighs more heavily than backlinks: click-through completion, on-site user journeys, browser exit patterns, and entity density in your content.

    He walks through a 250% revenue increase from restructuring product page entities, shows why adding e-commerce elements to affiliate sites triggered ranking jumps within days, and breaks down what the Google leak revealed about how page layout scores actually work.

    If you run sites that depend on organic traffic, this conversation will change what you prioritize.

  • CTR Manipulation in 2026: What Works, What Google Ignores, and What Kills Your Site | Leo Poitevin
    Apr 24 2026

    A web agency in Switzerland paid students €50 each to walk into phone stores, open Chrome on every display model, and search their client's brand name. The next morning, the client ranked #1 and stayed there. That's the opening tactic in a conversation that covers the full spectrum of click and traffic manipulation in 2026.

    Leo Poitevin breaks down the real mechanics: why bots get filtered but human clickers through residential proxies still work, how to buy cheap pop traffic that spikes your rankings in two hours, what it costs per click in the US vs Southeast Asia, and why Google has almost completely stopped penalizing sites for any of it. He also explains where the line sits - at what point viral boost traffic starts compounding bad user signals and tanks your site within six months.

    Leo runs Astrak Agency and has tested these tactics across iGaming, local search, and national campaigns in France. If you operate in competitive search and you've already done everything clean, this is the conversation about what comes next.

  • Why Founders Need to Understand Crypto Yield Now | Wilbert Johan, Pendle
    Apr 22 2026

    The average bank deposit rate in developed countries sits under 1%. In DeFi, stablecoin lending rates track US Treasury yields at 4-6%, and yield-bearing stablecoins built on strategies like delta-neutral perpetual funding push 8-15%. One protocol, Ethena, crossed $10 billion on this approach alone last year.

    This is the first crypto episode on Odys Podcast: the High Stakes Growth Show. It exists because the gap between traditional banking yields and DeFi infrastructure returns has become too wide for any serious founder, operator, or growth leader to keep ignoring.

    Wilbert Johan runs the stablecoin and real-world asset ecosystem at Pendle - the largest on-chain interest rate market in decentralized finance. He breaks down where on-chain yields actually come from, how to distinguish real yield from token inflation, what smart contract risk looks like versus trusting a centralized institution, and why in 3-5 years the financial products you use may run on DeFi protocols behind the scenes without you ever touching a wallet.

    If you manage business cash reserves, personal investments, or just want to understand what changed since the last crypto cycle - this is the 26-minute briefing that reframes the conversation from speculation to infrastructure.

  • How iGaming Operators Fight Dirty for Rankings | Darko Brzica
    Apr 20 2026

    Competitors clone entire websites overnight, file fake DMCA claims, and flood rival pages with manufactured traffic to tank their engagement metrics. That is the day-to-day reality of iGaming SEO.

    Darko Brzica, founder of Occam Digital and co-owner of Presswhiz, breaks down how link building actually works in a vertical where operators burn hundreds of thousands with no strategy, where PBNs function as sellable company assets, and where Google's Helpful Content Update punished the wrong signal.

    Listen for Darko's approach to building link profiles competitors cannot replicate, why brand signals now matter more than raw authority, and his take on why LLM optimization is just SEO with a new label.
