Episode notes

Your DNA, health data, and digital identity are encrypted, monetized, and weaponized against you.

But what if there was a way to take it back… and hack the system?

In this mind-expanding episode, Dave sits down with two elite hacker-founders—Michael Tiffany, CEO of Fulcra.ai, and Vishakh, founder of Monadic DNA—to explore a radical shift in the way we store, protect, and use our most personal data.

Together, they break down the Web3 tech stack powering this revolution. Enter Nillion, a distributed, privacy-preserving compute network that allows you to share and analyze your encrypted data… without ever giving it away.

From genomic privacy to AI sovereignty, this episode exposes the hidden architecture of control—and how to escape it. You’ll learn how cutting-edge blockchain and cryptography are rewriting the rules of ownership, consent, and even identity itself.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why your DNA is already in government databases—and how long they keep it

• How Nillion enables secure computation on private data

• What it means to build a “cybernetic operating system” for your body

• Why Fulcra.ai is building the orchestration layer of human optimization

• How Monadic DNA helps you profit from your genetics—without giving them away

• Why owning your data is the next frontier of biohacking

• The surprising connection between decentralization, health freedom, and consciousness

• How to join the movement toward true data sovereignty

If you’ve ever felt like you’re giving away too much to big tech, big pharma, or just the internet itself—this conversation will change how you see your data… and your body.
