Moonshot Research Podcast

This week we are joined by Hue Rhodes to talk about individually owned identity and how individuals can finally use blockchain to own and monetize their data. Hue is the founder of FRIDAY, an identity platform that lets users reclaim all of their activity data from Web2 (Instagram, Spotify, etc) and monetize access via Web3, without surrendering ownership or control. Prior to FRIDAY, Hue was the co-founder and CEO of Amplfy.me, and the VP of Global Business Development at Experian. But most importantly (to us), he wrote and directed a feature film starring Steve Buscemi.
