Podcast host Jordan Rogers-Smith is joined by Pim de Witte, CEO of Medal.tv; Elizabeth Kiehner, VP of Enterprise Transformation at Capgemini Invent; and Ziad Traboulsi, Director of Business Engineering at Meta. 

The guests discuss the impact that millennials are having on the Metaverse, particularly remix and gaming culture. Sharing aspects of both can welcome and invite more people to share their lives in a digital format. This also implies that companies are paying attention to trends and creating experiences that engage current users and attract new users. Ziad notes that opportunities in the Metaverse await every industry and right now is an excellent time to seize first-mover advantage.
