We sat down with Gary Liu, Co-Founder and CEO of Terminal 3, on the Boom Room for one of the more interesting conversations we've had on the show.
Gary spent years at Google, Spotify, and AOL before becoming CEO of the South China Morning Post, one of Asia's most prominent newspapers. Then he walked away from media to build a Web3 data sovereignty protocol from scratch.
Terminal 3 lets enterprises verify identities and manage user data without ever directly accessing it, using zero-knowledge cryptography.
The thesis: your data should belong to you, not the platform.
We got into how he thinks about privacy, why most people have no idea how their data is actually being used, what it took to convince governments and regulators to pay attention, and where AI makes the data ownership problem dramatically worse before it gets better.
