Seeq and You Shall Find: Killing the Directory Era

About this episode

In this episode of The Disruptor Podcast, host John Kundtz sits down with Jon Levesque, Founder and CEO of Seeq, to explore why the age of static directories such as Google, Yelp, and star ratings is officially over.

Jon shares how Seeq, the world’s first Experience Network, transforms social content into living, bookable experiences. Instead of endless scrolling and fake reviews, Seeq turns creator videos into AI-assisted, mappable, and shoppable itineraries, bridging intent and action in one click.

You’ll hear how Jon transitioned from setting up Microsoft stages to speaking on them, why he left corporate life to build something truly human-centered, and how his team is helping creators earn a real income while empowering users to get back out into the world again.

Together, they discuss what it means to turn your phone from a prison into a compass and why the next digital revolution is rooted not in attention, but trust.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1️⃣ Why the “directory era” is dying—and what replaces it.

2️⃣ How Seeq lets creators monetize their content without chasing views.

3️⃣ Why the future of discovery is human-led and AI-assisted.

How digital platforms can move us from an attention economy to a trust economy.
