Herman's Podcast
Herman Narula has spent the last decade building and investing in the future of technology. From co-founding Improbable and Somnia, to speaking at global forums about the future of AI, blockchain and Web3, to authoring his book on Virtual Society, he keeps coming back to one question. What kind of future are we actually building, and who is it for?
Herman’s Podcast is a chance to have real conversations with the people shaping what’s next for human experience in the context of tomorrow’s technology. No jargon. No rehearsed answers. Just honest dialogue about ownership, creativity, power, and the systems we need to rethink.
If you're curious about the future and the people bold enough to build it, you're in the right place.

Episode 1: “Tristan Thompson: Owning the game and Fan Connection”
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
NBA champion Tristan Thompson joins Herman Narula for a real conversation about what it actually feels like to enter the NBA with no control over your own path. They talk about how blockchain could give power back to young athletes, helping them take ownership over their careers from day one.
They also dive into the disconnect between players and fans, and how the sports industry has lost its way. At the heart of it all is a bigger question, how do we build a more inclusive future where people have agency, whether they’re on the court or in the crowd?
