In a world of distractions; creativity and innovation change the direction of society. The future isn’t built by the loudest voices in the room; it’s built by doers: the artists who code, the scientists who sculpt, and the technologists who dream. 3reate goes beyond headlines providing the blueprint for the future. We bring you weekly deep dives and curated interviews with the hidden architects of the innovation economy. Creativity is your ultimate advantage.

- The narrative is setting in: software engineering is dead. According to the leadership at Anthropic, the profession has less than a year before AI agents take the wheel completely. But for the applied polymaths actually doing the work, the reality is far more complex. In this deep dive, we dismantle the hype to find the […]
- The digital landscape is shifting from chat windows to direct execution. In this episode, we dismantle the hype surrounding "OpenClaw" and the new wave of autonomous agents that run locally on your machine. While the ability to self-execute tasks sounds revolutionary, the reality involves exposed API keys, zero guardrails, and a "Wild West" security environment […]
- Stop writing lines of code, start AI Coding. Andrew shipped a fully functional, international app in just six hours—not by typing syntax, but by managing a "murder" of AI agents, AI Coding. In this episode, we dismantle the "Vibe Coding" trend and replace it with the "Abstraction Workflow," a new method where creativity and judgment […]
- Andrew built a fully functional iOS app in six hours using AI—and got it approved by Apple on the first try. This isn't just about coding; it's a fundamental shift in how we build. We explore why the era of the "Individual Contributor" is ending and why the future belongs to those who can manage […]
- Is using an LLM to write documentation "cheating," or is it just the modern version of using Spellcheck? We cover: The Linux Controversy: Why open-source communities are rejecting AI, and why they might be fighting gravity. (https://www.theregister.com/2026/01/08/linus_versus_llms_ai_slop_docs) The Liability Trap: Using the Waymo "Trolley Problem" to explain why humans must remain the "Architects of Liability," […]
- Gravity is a constraint—both for manufacturing and for your mindset. In this episode, we dismantle the physics of innovation, exploring why the next generation of computer chips must be built in space to survive. We also ground this futuristic vision in the practical tools you need today, breaking down Google’s Antigravity IDE and why the […]
- The digital landscape of 2025 was defined by a paradox: vanishing barriers to entry but exponential barriers to attention. As we enter 2026, the era of edutainment and variety shows is over, replaced by a demand for deep, specific expertise? This episode is designed for the applied polymath—the practitioner who operates at the high-stakes intersection […]
- Two years ago, 3reate began with a bold hypothesis: that creativity is the universal solvent for the world's most complex problems. As we celebrate our second anniversary, host Andrew steps into a rare solo cast to peel back the curtain on the journey so far. This isn't just a celebration; it’s a manifesto for the […]
- Katie from Renegade Plastics pulls back the curtain on the innovation economy making sustainable plastic?

- Andrew and Nathan deconstruct the build of Seeeks—a post-production tool created almost entirely through AI-driven synthesis. Learn how to bypass the App Store, leverage the Practitioner Economy, and turn raw ideas into functional blueprints for the future of creativity. Join the "Secret Masters" of the innovation economy today. In a digital landscape where the barriers […]
- The world is getting safer, cleaner, and more polite—and it might be killing the future. We are living in an era defined by a "Decline of Deviance," where the removal of risk has resulted in a homogenization of culture and a collapse of true creativity. In this deep dive, we move beyond "loose conversation" to […]
- Andrew and Nathan dive into the concept of "Brain Rot" and whether short-form content is destroying our ability to focus.
