New pod and a *NEW BOOK* out today!
Kevin sits down with Daniel Ospina and Daniel Stringer from RnDAO to introduce their new book:The Network Firm: How Capital Allocation Changes in the Age of Blockchain and AI.
They explore how the traditional theory of the firm is being transformed by lower coordination costs, AI-driven cognition, and blockchain-powered trust enabling a new era of open, fluid, network-native organizations.
Together they break down how legacy bureaucratic structures dissolve when work becomes legible, global, and composable and why the next century of coordination will be shaped by networks, not firms.
