Together, we're redefining what it means, looks and feels like, to be doing "woman's work" in the world today. With confidence and the occasional rant. From boardrooms to studios, kitchens to coding dens, we explore the multifaceted experiences of today's woman, confirming that the new definition of "woman's work" is whatever feels authentic, true, and right for you. We're shedding expectations, setting aside the "shoulds", giving our finger to the "supposed tos". We're torching the old playbook and writing our own rules. Who runs the world? You decide.

Felipe Montealegre, co-founder of Thea Capital, joins us to unpack a new vision for global finance—what he calls the Internet Financial System. Felipe makes the case that today's financial world still runs on siloed, permissioned databases—slow, expensive, and riddled with gatekeepers. But blockchains and smart contracts offer something radically different: a unified, open system where capital can move efficiently across borders and property rights are stronger than ever. This episode is a must-listen for anyone wondering how crypto is building the financial infrastructure of the 21st century. ------ 📣SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24 https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🪙FRAX | SELF SUFFICIENT DeFi https://bankless.cc/Frax 🦄UNISWAP | SWAP ON UNICHAIN https://bankless.cc/unichain 🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle 🌐SELF | PROVE YOUR SELF https://bankless.cc/Self 🏦INFINEX | THE CRYPTO-EVERYTHING APP https://bankless.cc/Infinex ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 5:29 Internet Financial Systems 12:03 Frictions in Financial Systems 20:33 Innovations in Internet Financial Systems 28:42 Server with Laws 40:02 Incompatibilities within Systems 50:17 Absence of Financial Laws 57:34 Potential of Finance in Crypto 1:09:59 Server Compatibility with Governments 1:16:18 Different Laws for Investing in Crypto 1:26:26 Building Protocols 1:29:52 Closing & Disclaimers ------ RESOURCES Felipe Montealegre https://x.com/TheiaResearch Internet Finance https://x.com/TheiaResearch/status/1876618725547233417 ------ Not financial or tax advice.

This week on the AI Rollup, we’re diving into hyper-realistic AI-generated podcast hosts, showcasing Hedera Studio’s cutting-edge character tech.

Plus, Sesame open-sources its voice model, and the crypto AI market sees brutal drawdowns. Despite the turbulence, teams like Virtuals and Bittensor keep building, while Pluralis raises $7.6M to decentralize AI model training. Where does AI Crypto go from here?
