9:25-17:30 Advice to entrepreneurs

• You are always working for someone- your client is now your boss
• Imagine you’re a big company from the beginning and build systems that will grow with you
• Know your market and figure out if you want to differentiate from everyone else- you can try a lot but at some point, you will have to choose what you are
• Don’t be discouraged if it doesn’t go how you think it should; keep trying

17:31-38:24 The Metaverse

• A virtual showroom can prevent expensive mistakes
• Augmented and virtual reality are becoming more common
• The Metaverse may not be an oversight success
• The S Curve and the Gartner Hype Cycle
• People will reach for whatever’s next

38:25-49:20 NFTs

• Making something an NFT (“minting”) makes it traceable and “copyrights” it as yours
• Non-fungible Token- singular, can not be traded one to one
• Virtual reality could upend the industry
