Seeing Around Corners: Trends, Tokenization and Tomorrow's Economy | With Slava Rubin

In this week's Power & Impact, I spoke with entrepreneur and investor Slava Rubin — founder of Indiegogo and a leading voice in alternative investments — about how big changes take shape, and how to recognize them early. Throughout his career, Slava has developed a habit of paying attention, looking for early signals rather than waiting for change to become obvious. We talked about how new technologies may gradually open access to assets that once felt out of reach, and why shifts like these tend to unfold without many people noticing. As Slava put it, big changes and opportunities rarely announce themselves. Our conversation also touched on AI and robotics, which he sees lowering the cost of experimentation and taking on repetitive, difficult work behind the scenes. We ended by talking about young people entering the workforce at an uncertain moment. Slava's advice was straightforward: Don't wait for the perfect job. Get your foot in the door, keep learning, and keep moving. As I've said before, treat your resume like a verb. If you're curious about where money, technology, and opportunity are headed—and how to stay ahead of the curve—this is a conversation you don't want to miss.
