The Toastmaster

The Toastmaster: Ricardo Casanova

My career in IT started in the BlackBerry era and has evolved through every major shift into the current frontiers of Web3 and AI. Having watched these cycles play out for two decades, I’ve noticed a recurring pattern: Breakthroughs always happen long before we have the language to explain them.

This creates a "messy" transition where technical progress is moving at light speed, loud narratives are everywhere, and very few people are translating between the two. My focus is closing that gap amongst the complex, shifting systems and build clear frames for understanding what matters now and what is just noise.

Curious on Stage

I am at my best when I am learning alongside others. Whether I am speaking on a panel or moderating a session, my follow-up questions come from a place of genuine curiosity. Every event is an opportunity for me to learn from inspirational leaders, and I am grateful for the chance to educate and help others along that same path.

Let’s Build Together If you need someone to help your team cut through the hype, or if you’re looking for a moderator who is as invested in the "why" as much as the "how," let’s talk.

Reach out directly via Telegram or WhatsApp below, I’m always open to seeing how I can assist or collaborate on your next project.

Inside the Kitchen

Toast & Tea shows up when there is something worth saying. It is written for the curious minds and the builders who want to see the big picture before it becomes common knowledge.

The perspective is built from years of watching technology move from the fringe to the center of our lives. I look at where things are headed and translate the complexity into something you can actually use. Whether you are a hobbyist, a business leader, or a tech head, this is about getting a clear view of the horizon.

This is your roadmap. I track the patterns that matter so you can see how different systems are colliding. I strip away the noise to show you what is actually changing and why it matters for the future. If you want an honest look at the tech landscape that isn't filtered through a PR firm, you are in the right place.

No fixed schedule. No obligation to fill space.

And when the tea is ready, it gets spilled.

Toasty Talks

Toasty Talks is born out of a simple observation I’ve made while traveling over the last few years: everyone has an interesting story about how they got to where they are.

I’m interested in those lived experiences - the paths people take, the things they’ve had to overcome, and what they’ve learned along the way. Whether it’s someone leading a tech team or someone teaching soccer to kids, there is a unique kind of wisdom in how people navigate their lives.

This is a space for those stories. It’s a collection of conversations and moments I’ve captured that I think are worth sharing. I do this because I genuinely enjoy the process of learning from people’s journeys, and I think you will, too.

My first conversation dives into the "beautiful game" and the reality of living in the northernmost big city on the globe. We can find millions for bike lanes that disappear eight months of the year, yet the community has nowhere to play. This isn't just about sports; it's about the grit of a community fighting for a place to belong in a city that often overlooks the simple necessity of a safe place to play.
