On a recent episode of the GRTiQ Podcast, Nick posed the GRTiQ 10 questions to Aya Kantorovich, eliciting insights that reflect both her personal journey and her professional perspective.
Beginning with literature, Aya reveals that “The Alchemist” has been the single most influential book on her life. However, when discussing cinematic art, Aya confesses her limited exposure to TV and movies, but highlights the significance of “Rocket Man,” a movie she recently watched and found compelling.
Navigating the realm of music, Aya’s preferences span the genres of Southern hip-hop and classic pop. This is evident when she grapples between TI’s “Paper Trail” and anything by the legendary Elton John as her potential eternal soundtracks.
A poignant piece of advice that resonated deeply with Aya emphasized the evolving nature of desires and ambitions. The key takeaway? What one yearns for today might not be the same as what one wishes for tomorrow, underscoring the importance of adaptability and self-awareness.
A profound life lesson Aya wishes to impart is the universal human nature underpinning our actions. By recognizing that our drives and desires are fundamentally similar, one can traverse life with greater empathy and understanding.
In a revelation that highlights her meticulous and introspective nature, Aya admits to conducting quarterly self-reviews. By setting personal goals every quarter and subsequently assessing her progress, she ensures continual growth and self-betterment.
The cornerstone of success, according to Aya’s experiences, is the dual habit of self-reflection and goal setting.
For those intrigued by the potential of web3, Aya believes its allure lies in its accessibility. As for Twitter recommendations, Aya points to Raghu, their CEO, and The Graph, as vital follows. Moreover, given recent events, she also acknowledges the influential presence of Elon Musk on the platform.
Capping off the discussion, Aya touches upon personal fulfillment. As someone who deeply values words of affirmation, she admits to finding the greatest joy when her investments, whether in people or endeavors, yield positive results.
Aya Kantorovich’s session on the GRTiQ Podcast provides an illuminating glimpse into her beliefs, experiences, and sources of inspiration, serving as a beacon of motivation for the audience.

The GRTiQ 10: Aya Kantorovich (Ep. 66)
Ram Kumar shared thoughtful insights and personal favorites in the GRTiQ 10 segment, blending practical wisdom with an optimistic outlook.
For the book that influenced him most, Ram chose Atomic Habits by James Clear, which he has read multiple times and deeply appreciates for its actionable guidance. On the cinematic front, he recommended Into the Wild, directed by Sean Penn, as a life-changing film that redefined his perspective on life and its priorities.
When asked about music, Ram declined to settle on one album, emphasizing his love for discovering new music. He pointed out how AI is transforming the music industry, creating limitless possibilities.
Ram shared a piece of advice from his grandmother that resonates deeply with him: “Even if you pour gallons of water on a flower, it won’t bloom until its time.” This serves as a reminder to trust the timing of life and remain patient.
One thing Ram has learned is the importance of perseverance and empathy. He encourages others to endure hardships with hope and to approach interactions with understanding, as everyone faces unseen struggles.
For his best life hack, Ram shared a creative use of AI. By asking a chatbot to describe a day in the life based on long-term goals, he finds motivation and clarity in envisioning his future.
Ram attributes success to being truthful to oneself, a habit he believes is foundational for personal and professional growth.
The thing that most excites me about the future of web3 is… “Decentralized AI.”
If you’re on X (Twitter), you should be following… “Andrej Karpathy.”
I’m happiest when… “I see my family.”
