From her beach house in Capitola, California, where the rhythm of the ocean meets the rhythm of her work, Riza Utile has built a life at the intersection of innovation, education, creativity, and community. She is a CEO, educator, podcast host, crochet artist, and community builder whose work bridges Web3, AI, global learning, and handmade artistry with a rare blend of warmth, clarity, and conviction. Whether she is simplifying emerging technology, amplifying visionary creators, teaching with patience, gathering crocheters around a table, or creating wearable art stitch by stitch, Riza leads with a family-first heart and a deep belief that the future should feel human, purposeful, and beautifully connected.
Riza's professional foundation is rooted in over two decades of experience as a global educator and Business English specialist. With a background in English education and TESOL/TEFL certification, she has taught and mentored thousands of learners internationally, helping them communicate with clarity and confidence in professional settings. This educational depth informs her current work: she approaches Web3 and AI not as buzzwords, but as subjects that must be humanized, explained, and made accessible.
As the CEO of Web3ÂI and host of Web3 and AI Made Simple, a podcast that has reached over 10 million viewers across its episodes, Riza has become a trusted voice for people who want to understand emerging technology without the noise, hype, or fear. Alongside her husband, Ian Utile; the Founder and CEO of ÂTTN.LIVE, she also serves as Executive Producer at ÂTTN.LIVE, where she helps creators and communities tell their stories, leverage innovation, and build meaningful digital legacies. Her work has brought her to global stages such as NFT.NYC and Philippine Blockchain Week, where she speaks on decentralized innovation, AI, faith, and family-first leadership.
Her public presence spans multiple platforms. On her main Instagram and YouTube accounts under the name @rizautile, she shares her life as a wife, mother, CEO, speaker, and gym enthusiast, blending leadership, faith, and lifestyle content. Through her crochet-focused Instagram, @PinkCrochetByRiza, she showcases her craftsmanship as a crochet artist, presenting custom, handmade pieces that reflect her love of texture, detail, and beauty.
Riza is also the founder of the Capitola Crocheters Club, a growing community she launched to bring crocheters from Capitola, Santa Cruz County, and surrounding areas together for monthly sit-and-stitch gatherings. Through this community, she helps create a welcoming space for connection, creativity, and shared learning, and she also offers free crochet workshops with the support of fellow crochet community members.
Across all of these expressions—CEO, podcaster, educator, community builder, and artist—Riza is consistently defined by professionalism, warmth, and conviction. She is committed to amplifying purpose, elevating others, and integrating faith, family, creativity, and innovation in a way that feels both approachable and deeply human. At the heart of everything she builds is a single, guiding belief: the most powerful technology is the kind that brings us closer to the people, the purpose, and the love that make life worth living.
