Finding Peak with Ryan Hanley · The Autonomous Digital Economy Is Here · 5 Jul 2026 podcast

And conversely, what should you stop doing?

And maybe there are entire industries you should be, as a small business owner, you should be actively getting out of, uh, because they won't be necessary in the future, like chimney sweeping.

All right, so we started talking, trying to help the audience understand some inevitable things about the future, the direction we're heading.

We talked about things like what's tokenization and how do we digitalize value.

We then went down a slightly different path, which is an important path, which is, what's the role of government?

How does government embrace innovation?

And then societally, what are some of the pros and cons and some of the issues of which there are many?

I think it is a good idea to bring it back to sort of investing and wealth creation and value creation.

So I'm glad you just did that.

And we're investors.

So ultimately, the way we think about this, Ryan, and I'm really now first going to answer conceptually and then I'll answer empirically, you know, conceptually.

What we are doing as investors, as venture investors, because we're venture investors, is we're trying to get a view, a 10-year view, of some inevitable changes to the economic landscape that will unlock a lot of wealth creation, a lot of value.

And we typically are thinking about a 10-year timeframe as VCs.

Some things happen quicker, some things take longer, but 10 years is sort of about right.

And once we have clarity on some things that we're absolutely sure are going to be happening.

Then the next thing is you look up today and you try and figure out what's most broken, where a lot of value is going to start shifting around.

You know, it's going to go from the old to the new.

And then once you have the clarity on those two things, then you look for great entrepreneurs who are really passionate and understand how they can stand up a new business or a new opportunity, a new project.

that is going to move us forward because they're going to have enormous tailwinds behind them and they're going to be the beneficiaries of all this moving value.

Now, it doesn't mean that established businesses can't do everything I just said.
