It was meetups in Melbourne last week for us as well as podcasts in Sydney.

Podcast wise, we had Sha-mayne Chan from Friyay.ai give us the rundown on what they’re seeing from enterprise conversations on AI. Certainly lessons here for those in the web3 space too
There was also the case for decentralisation on show this week too and I share more of my thoughts on that in my personal newsletter, Founders’ Journey - see here
