About this podcast
Welcome to BuildBetter, formerly known as the Web3Magic podcast. This channel began 2,5 years ago as Web3Magic — decoding the thinking of decentralized builders. Now, it’s evolving into BuildBetter: frameworks, stories, and tools for people building the future.
Technology, or rails, don't matter anymore. That's why I'm ditching Web3 branding. Blockchain is becoming part of everything. Now, more than ever, it's about useful products, not tech behind them.
Every week, I look at lessons from building companies and products - not technical lessons, but distribution-focused ones. Sometimes alone, sometimes with builders working on interesting products. We dive into stories, projects, and what makes them tick. How are they thinking about distribution and attention that is ruling everything?
The future is still exciting, and we're still building it.
Let's Build it Better! 🚀
