Fun little design brief this one 🪄 Make it look like Anoma but also not Anoma. Looking forward to some Deeply Intents conversations with @apriori0x and guests this year!
Welcome to Deeply Intents Deeply Intents is a new podcast hosted by @apriori0x . There are two primary motivations; unpack Anoma with relevant guests, and have interesting conversations with values aligned builders. The podcast is long-form content, with an emphasis on the human element. Roadmap I've recorded eight episodes so far with a fantastic group of builders featuring: - @mteamisloading (@Spire_Labs ) - @cwgoes (@anoma ) - @hrojantorse (@intheanera ) - Jeremy (@anoma ) - @0xbodu (@Polymer_Labs ) - @colludingnode (@celestia ) - @_haikane_ (@PropellerSwap ) - @ThogardPvP (@0xFastLane ) Starting this week, we will begin releasing two to three episodes for the next few weeks. After the bootstrapping phase, you should expect one to two episodes per week. But we'll see. Structure This podcast will focus on long-form content focusing on the human element. Podcasts will be one and a half hours or more. One key feature of this format is that guests and the host are not rushed. They have time to explore specifics, go off into tangents, or just wildly speculate about the nature of crypto. Most importantly, you'll be able to get to know the guests not as founders or products but as people. In an industry with much emphasis on the latest trends we rarely spend time to learn about who we are together. Reflections last but a moment. Here we are creating artifacts that I hope you will reference and look back on in the future as a source of knowledge and inspiration. As a result, there will be no AI edits where voices are smoothed over and everyone speaks at 1.25x as a baseline. Instead, you will hear the pauses, likes, umms, because this is part of what makes us human, imperfection. (I will get better here). There is no intro music yet. Taking inspiration from Joe Rogan, we will just roll into the conversation from the pre-recording banter. Bridging the discourse On Deeply Intents we'll feature a diversity of guests both members of the Heliax team building Anoma and Namada as well as values aligned builders working on other stuff. We'll have both deeply personal and deeply technical conversations. And hopefully, in time, guests who may not know about each other will start talking and maybe even collaborate. Why another podcast? This is all @cwgoes fault, blame him. No, really, blame him. Story time. I've been listening to podcasts for a long time, since 2007, when the Bill Simmons Report was on ESPN's page 2. I noticed early on that he was able to have material conversations with star NBA players who typically were more reserved. Simmons got people to open up. As a listener, I felt like I got to know the guests and relate to them as people. In 2020 during COVID I lost my job. The pain I felt is hard to explain. As a way to cope, I took long walks listening to podcasts by @aantonop (Unscrypted), @VitalikButerin (many), and others. These episodes opened my eyes to new ideas, new ways of thinking, and a new way of life. Later, listening to @hasufl on Uncommon Core inspired me to take my "crypto research" hobby more seriously and go all in. My favorite podcast over the last few years is the @lexfridman podcast. In a way, you can think of Deeply Intents as Lex Fridman meets crypto. I am not Lex. However, the guests and I will have meaningful conversations that are deeply fucking intents. Podcasts can change people's lives. People don't have time to read In the age of social media AI slop, LLMs, and access to anything you want anytime day or night, attention is hard to come by. Reading is hard. It takes concentration and muscle memory. You have to do it every day until you love to read. Assuming you love to read, you are probably busy reading things related to your job and personal hobbies. Everything in between is less accessible and time-consuming. It's not hard to play a podcast. You can play a podcast in the background while coding, tasking, washing the dishes, lifting weights, driving to the grocery store, or just relaxing on the couch. You can listen on any speed you like. You can also write a script to search the podcast for anything interesting and summarize the findings with help of an LLM. Qualifications What are my qualifications for hosting a podcast. That's a good question. I'll highlight some things I did in 2024 as it pertains to the specific skill set. Last year, I hosted or sat on eleven panels at different events. I hosted four twitter spaces recently on topics like ASS, intents, interop, chain abstraction, and the modular ecosystem. I also gave two keynote presentations, at Eth Prague and mev dot market. Likewise, I read essays and poetry aloud at the cypher cafes this summer. I am not afraid to learn in public. Aside from this, I've worked closely with the Anoma research, engineering, and ecosystem teams over the last 20 months on various initiatives. If you're interested in digging further, you can check the pinned link on my X profile which features all of my published writing and projects. Growth Mindset I will make mistakes. However, I'm willing to look like a fool for a while until I become a master. You'll notice improvement with the progression of episodes. Likewise, we are not starting with video. I want to put the focus on quality of conversations not facial expressions, backgrounds, or setups of the guests or myself. I also want to save video for in person settings where the quality will be higher. But if you really want video, please be loud about it. You can just do things Many of the podcasts in our industry are incredible. I've learned a ton and enjoyed hours of ZK Podcast, Bell Curve, Bankless, Green Pill, Uncommon Core 1 & 2, The Rollup, The Gwart Show, Epicenter, Lightspeed, Up Only, Unchained, and many more. Each of these shows has their own lane. Deeply Intents is doing something different. By doing something different, we are adding value to the community. Podcasting is something I've wanted to do for a long time. The timing for this feels right, and I could not be more excited to share this art with you. Goals My goal is to execute six to eight episodes per month. If we do more, that's fantastic. My stretch goal for the year is 100 episodes. I'm looking to talk to a diversity of builders. My network is mostly engineers, operators and researchers, but I'd also like to talk to folks who work in BD, Marketing, Dev Ops, and other roles. Thank you Thank you to the guests who have been gracious enough to lend their time and record episodes. I am grateful. Thank you to the @heliaxdev team. The support you have shown in this process has been exceptional. In particular, thank you to @cwgoes @zjcio @MauriceWbr @Thurisaz0x @awasunyin. The art is phenomenal, major kudos to @Chri5H0lt . Feedback You are welcome to direct complaints to me directly on X, fanboys and haters alike. Please be nice to the guests, blame me if anything. 😉 If you think you would be an interesting guest, please reach out. My DMs are open. Cheers.
