The GrowthTech Podcast is a builder-focused technology show with a strong bias toward internet-native growth. Its center of gravity is AI, Web3, crypto, NFTs, creator businesses, and the platforms that help people turn attention into income. The conversations are practical first. Guests talk through what they are building, how they market it, and why a new technology might matter beyond the buzz around it. The pacing is loose and direct. Some episodes feel like tactical builder calls; others lean into market conviction, social media instinct, and the culture of online communities. A conversation with Sahil Lavingia uses Gumroad as a way to examine digital products, creator income, and the long grind of improving what an audience will buy. Adam Greenbaum's episode moves through AI-generated content, paid media, SaaS, ad networks, TikTok, and the disruption of older business models. Alan Carroll's appearance treats Web3 meme culture as a serious marketing channel, with daily posting, platform discipline, and deleting weak material framed as part of the craft. Gaming episodes with Yas and Timothy Jooste focus on NFT assets, play-to-earn ideas, mobile games, and the challenge of making blockchain games feel like games first. Music NFT coverage with Spottie WiFi asks what ownership, performance, and credibility look like when an artist is also a crypto-native character. Market episodes with TM Lee return to the mentality of building through volatility. DeFi coverage with Bancor explores liquidity, yield, and impermanent loss in a plainspoken way. The show is not a neutral explainer. It has strong preferences, high energy, and a recurring belief that people who keep building through hype cycles are the ones worth studying. That makes it best for listeners who want emerging-tech business conversations with urgency, opinion, and operational texture.
Made for: For builders, creators, marketers, and crypto-curious operators who want practical conversations about growth, monetization, and emerging platforms. It suits listeners comfortable with fast, opinionated talk about AI, Web3, NFTs, and creator business models.
What sets it apart: The show connects growth mechanics to frontier tech culture, moving easily from Gumroad products and AI ads to meme strategy, NFT games, music ownership, DeFi, and market conviction. Its edge is the raw builder tone: less abstract trend-watching, more pressure-testing how people actually build and sell online.
