概要
In this episode of the Superhuman Podcast, I sit down with Alexander, the creator of Ulys Quest - a first-of-its-kind "travel-to-earn" platform that combines real-world exploration with geospatial tech, blockchain rewards, and gamification.
Alexander spent nearly 30 years in IT and then went all-in building something most people thought was impossible: a living digital treasure hunt where you visit landmarks, confirm your presence, and earn rewards. We talk about the reality of being "too old" for corporate work, what it takes to build a real product (not just an MVP), and why his mission is bigger than crypto - it's about getting people back into the physical world with purpose.
In this episode, we cover:
-
The "great flattening" and why many experienced tech workers are getting pushed out
-
How Ulys Quest works: visit → confirm → earn
-
Why building a fully functional product matters
-
The NFT "digital landmark" model and how it creates passive income mechanics
-
Using AI as a real-world tour guide + route generator
-
Why he wants this to become community-owned (DAO)
-
The deeper mission: restoration, education, and real-world impact
