Welcome to FireDEV, the podcast where we explore the fascinating world of web development and the latest innovations in technology. In this episode, we have the pleasure of speaking with Simon Smith, the founder of Excalibur.FM, a groundbreaking Web3 podcasting platform.

Simon's journey is an eclectic one, starting from his early days as a systems developer in the corporate world. However, he managed to break free from the confines of traditional employment and found his passion as a private trader in the futures market. Alongside his trading endeavors, Simon became an Angel Investor, backing early-stage tech companies. Balancing both investment strategies for nearly two decades, he achieved financial freedom while never losing his strong work ethic.

In 2013, Simon ventured into the world of cryptocurrency, diving deep into the rabbit hole to fully comprehend its potential and impact. Drawing on his expertise in economics, finance, technology, and the psychology of human incentives, he envisions decentralized systems as a catalyst for revolutionizing money, media applications, and governance structures. Fueling his vision, Simon now leads a team of developers funded by his crypto investments.

At the forefront of their development efforts is Excalibur.FM, a decentralized audio application poised to transform the podcasting landscape. Simon and his team are leveraging blockchain technology to create a user-centric platform where content creators can generate unique NFTs (non-fungible tokens) for their audio content. Through this innovative approach, Excalibur.FM aims to empower creators, providing them with ownership and control over their work in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
