From Meta to Music: Rebuilding Creative Ownership with AI & Blockchain With Philip Rather
Description
What happens when a former Meta product and growth leader steps away from Big Tech to reimagine the future of creativity itself?
In this episode, we sit down with Phillip Rather—founder of Guild, an AI and blockchain-native platform designed to transform how creators collaborate, share ownership, and build communities. Drawing on years of experience inside one of the world’s most powerful tech ecosystems, Phillip breaks down why traditional creative infrastructure is broken—and how new models powered by AI and decentralised systems can unlock a fairer, more connected future for artists.
We explore how practical AI can support real-world creative workflows, why ownership and attribution matter more than ever, and how decentralised platforms are reshaping the balance of power in media and music. Phillip also shares his journey as a singer-songwriter in Austin, TX, bridging the worlds of technology and artistry from the inside out.
If you're interested in the future of music, creator economy innovation, and how technology can empower—not exploit—creators, this conversation is for you.
