On each episode of Barriers to Entry, we get into it with the leaders, the designers, the early adopters, and the inventors who are helping to shape how emerging technologies are being brought to life to solve problems and create new opportunities across the architecture and design industry. We’ll cut through the hype around topics like the metaverse, the blockchain, and artificial intelligence, and get into the real-life implications and applications for our world.

Chris Barton: Founder of Shazam, 2025 NeoCon Keynote Speaker

Mon Jun 09 2025

Listen

User-first In a special NeoCon edition episode of BTE, Bobby and Andrew are joined by tech and design leader Chris Barton, founder of the renowned music app Shazam and Wednesday’s NeoCon keynote speaker. The trio dives into insights, stories, and observations from Chris’s impressive career in tech, which includes founding Shazam “in the 1900s” nearly a decade before the App Store existed, followed by roles at pre-IPO Google and Dropbox. Alongside a series of fascinating anecdotes and a few teasers (not spoilers!) for Chris’s Wednesday keynote, they also explore thoughts on the future of AI and education, the challenges of designing a user-first experience when no comparable product exists, and how that initial spark of an idea evolves over time.
