Episode Description

<p><strong>Your DNA, health data, and digital identity are encrypted, monetized, and weaponized against you.</strong> </p><p>But what if there was a way to take it back… and hack the system? </p><p>In this mind-expanding episode, Dave sits down with two elite hacker-founders—<strong>Michael Tiffany</strong>, CEO of <strong>Fulcra.ai</strong>, and <strong>Vishakh</strong>, founder of <strong>Monadic DNA</strong>—to explore a radical shift in the way we store, protect, and use our most personal data. </p><p>Together, they break down the <strong>Web3 tech stack powering this revolution. </strong>Enter <strong>Nillion</strong>, a distributed, privacy-preserving compute network that allows you to share and analyze your encrypted data… without ever giving it away. </p><p>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. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>What You’ll Learn in This Episode:</strong> </p><p>• Why your DNA is already in government databases—and how long they keep it </p><p>• How <strong>Nillion</strong> enables secure computation on private data </p><p>• What it means to build a “cybernetic operating system” for your body </p><p>• Why <strong>Fulcra.ai</strong> is building the orchestration layer of human optimization </p><p>• How <strong>Monadic DNA</strong> helps you profit from your genetics—without giving them away </p><p>• Why owning your data is the next frontier of biohacking </p><p>• The surprising connection between decentralization, health freedom, and consciousness </p><p>• How to join the movement toward true data sovereignty </p><p><br></p><p>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. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>**Join the Fulca sleep study today!
