In Episode 2 of Two Tokens Short, Robert De La Rosa and Money Making Mitch drop a token into the future of cities with Paul Doherty, architect, technologist, and global leader in smart infrastructure.
Paul takes us on a wild journey from his early IBM days with young Bill Gates, to shaping Vision 2030 in Saudi Arabia, to reimagining smart cities, digital twins, and decentralized infrastructure across the globe.
We talk:
Why he sees AI alone as “cotton candy” without trusted data to back it up
How blockchain and digital twins create a new “simulation century” for real estate and urban planning
Wild stories from Dubai to Miami, where entire buildings become servers and Phoenician shipwrecks inspire design
What it takes to run hackathons that spawned Oculus and other industry-defining innovations
This episode is packed with visionary ideas, practical lessons, and just enough Vegas nostalgia to keep the arcade vibe alive.
