Welcome to High Stakes, the podcast for institutional investors, Web3 founders, SaaS leaders, and anyone serious about the future of technology. Hosted by Validation Cloud CSO Alex Nwaka, we go beyond the hype to explore the real-world adoption of blockchain and AI in enterprise environments.

Each episode features unfiltered conversations with operators, investors, and technologists driving change at the frontier. Get direct insight into what’s working (and what’s not) in blockchain infrastructure, from Layer-2 rollups and blockchain interoperability to AI-powered SaaS and zero-knowledge proofs. Discover how legacy systems are adapting to decentralized tech, where asset tokenization is creating new markets, and how autonomous AI agents are reshaping workflows.

If you’re tired of trend-chasing and want strategic clarity around risk, regulation, and returns in Web3 and AI, this is your edge.

🎙 Smart, practical, and always human.
🎧 Listen in and stay ahead of the mainstream noise. New episodes every Tuesday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.
