πŸŽ™οΈ MoneyNeverSleeps 300 - One Story Ends, Another Begins

🎙️What Started as a Podcast…

Seven years.

Three hundred episodes.

Hundreds of conversations with the founders, operators, investors, regulators, and technologists who are building what doesn’t exist yet.

What started in 2018 with my original co-host Eoin Fitzgerald as a way to have deeper conversations with founders and make sense of a rapidly changing landscape has turned into something much bigger - a living, evolving conversation about how money moves, how businesses grow, and how technology is rewriting the rules of the future.

And now, we’re hitting a milestone.


🚀 The 300th Episode — Live in Dublin

Next Wednesday, 8th October, we’re recording MoneyNeverSleeps Episode 300 - live and in front of an audience in Dublin, sponsored by our friends at Search4Less.

This isn’t just another episode. It’s a celebration of the journey so far - and a launchpad for what’s next.

I’ll be joined by Mai Santamaria, Alejandro Gutierrez, and a few surprise guests. Together, we’ll:

  • Reflect on the biggest lessons from 300 episodes

  • Explore where fintech, crypto, tokenization, AI, and startups are heading

  • Share stories and shoutouts from superfans, past guests, and friends of the show

  • Reveal the plan for the next era of MoneyNeverSleeps


🔮 A New Chapter Ahead

When Eoin and I started MoneyNeverSleeps, I had no idea how much it would change the way I think. Every conversation has been a chance to learn, to challenge assumptions, to zoom out - and sometimes to zoom way in - on the ideas shaping what’s next.

But as with any great story, it’s time for a new chapter.

The next era of MoneyNeverSleeps will look a little different: shorter, sharper, 10–15 minute video episodes focused on the most important story of the week across onchain finance, crypto, fintech, startups, and AI. Think less “long-form interview” and more “signal over noise.”

The goal is the same as it’s always been: to keep learning out loud, to keep sharing insights, and to keep the content flywheel spinning as Norio Ventures enters its next phase.

✍️ What’s Next with Norio Ventures

With Norio Ventures Fund I kicking off, I’ve been doing a ton of writing lately - digging deeper into the ideas, themes, and theses shaping the next wave of onchain finance, crypto, and AI. Over the coming months, I’ll start sharing more of that here on Substack, along with other insights from the journey.

If you want a sneak peek of where it’s heading, I shared some thoughts recently on LinkedIn and on Episode 299:

💫 A Final Thought

If there’s one thing I’ve learned over seven years and 300 episodes, it’s this: none of this happens alone.

Whether you’ve been listening since day one, just started reading these posts, stumbled over a clip that sparked a new idea, or rolled up your sleeves to help a founder turn ambition into action - you are part of this story.

Founders - the ones building new rails, reimagining finance, or creating something from nothing - need every ounce of support we can give them. The right insight at the right time, the right introduction, even just a few words of encouragement - those small moments can change everything.

This community - all of you - is what makes MoneyNeverSleeps more than a podcast and Norio Ventures more than a fund. It’s a collective belief that the future is something we build together. And that belief is what will carry us into the next chapter - stronger, bolder, and more unstoppable than ever.

Here’s to the next era. 🚀– Pete
