Alex Zaccaria: Wild Hearts Live With Co-founder and CEO of Linktree

Visions Stage
Linktree began as a side project and became a new category. With over 40 million users worldwide, it’s a rare Australian startup that has shaped internet culture—and Alex Zaccaria is the heart behind it. In this live recording of Wild Hearts, Blackbird’s podcast about founders making things that change the world, Alex joins host Mason Yates for an unfiltered conversation about creativity, resilience, and ambition. From playing in bands to building one of the most recognisable tools on the web, Alex’s journey is one of artistic instincts meeting entrepreneurial drive. Expect a story full of friction—the tension between identity and invention, self-doubt and success, art and tech. This is a session for the dreamers, the builders, and anyone curious about the spark that drives a wild heart.
