The Metaverse 117: Return to the Metaverse
With one announcement, Apple restored all the hopes and dreams of a Metaverse-rich future. Their $3,500 headset will increase the general public’s awareness of spatial computing—and the metaverse. It’s been over a year since I wrote about the metaverse. Much of the hype irradiating from the metaverse came from the gold rush into cryptocurrencies. The…
The Metaverse 116: Advertising in the Metaverse
The advertising economy has shifted from billboards to content marketing. No longer can you run an ad and have someone purchase your product instantly. Ads are suitable for maintaining brand awareness across multiple generations of people (think Coca-Cola), but you’ll need to do more. The move from radio, magazines, and newspapers to the world of…
The Metaverse 115: Coaching in the Metaverse
Being a coach is a demanding career because you have to bring more energy than your client. They expect you (and pay you) to be on point, knowledgeable, and a leader. I talked about coaching in “Start a Coaching Business towards Passive Income.” Today, we will take it a step further and see how we…
The Metaverse 114: Consulting in the Metaverse
Talk about the metaverse is cooling off as we enter the great recession of 2022. But don’t be fooled by the lack of interest—the metaverse will be back soon and bigger than ever. Led by Meta (formerly Facebook), companies are still investing massive amounts of cash into the metaverse; therefore, we need to take its’…
The Metaverse 113: The Metaverse vs. Your Job
The metaverse is coming to take your job. If you are not a top performer at your job and consistently producing new ideas and concepts, be ready for a change in employment over the next 15-20 years. This may sound harsh, but the reality is your company probably doesn’t need you already. The goal of…
The Metaverse 112: Artificial Love in the Metaverse
“Cherry 2000” (iTunes Link) is one of my favorite movies of all time. It was released in 1987 and starred Melanie Griffth. The movie is about a man who falls in love with a female robot. The robot breaks down, and he travels to the end of the world to find a part to repair…
Counting on Crypto 2
Cryptocurrencies will play a huge role in our lives over the next many years. They may even overtake paper currencies as the primary money system by central banks. However you feel about cryptocurrencies today, you should prepare for tomorrow by educating yourself. This is the same logic I used to start my journey into cryptocurrencies,…
The Metaverse 111: Transfer of Wealth in the Metaverse
Between 2008-2014, we thought we witnessed the most significant transfer of wealth in the last 200 years. During the housing bust, those with assets and cash could buy homes for pennies on the dollar. People who were financially and educationally positioned took a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build more wealth. Then in 2020, the pandemic hit,…
The Metaverse 110: Life in the Metaverse
The metaverse will change our lives, but it won’t be all at once. If you are old enough to remember, the internet didn’t change our lives in a few years. It took more than 10-20 years for us to reap the rewards of the digital age. Some significant internet milestones were gaining access to modems…
The Metaverse 109: Content Creation in the Metaverse
As we delve deeper into the metaverse, there will be an evolution of the content we will consume. When I first started playing around on the internet at home in 1996, I could have never imagined the rich content of YouTube and Facebook. We are at a similar point in time in the metaverse—no one…
The Metaverse 108: Fitness in the Metaverse
Health, wealth, and relationships are the three top niches in content creation, branding, and consumer goods. Most content we consume will somehow fit into these categories. Of the three, I believe health is the biggest because it affects everyone. Inside the health category, we have fitness, dieting, healthy living, etc. Welcome back to the Metaverse…
The Metaverse 107: Friendships in the Metaverse
Friendships change as we get older. Things we once found fun and interesting, like going to the bars and staying out late, now seem less exciting or engaging. Some of this has to do with getting married and having kids, but those aren’t the only reasons. I am 40 years old, and my best friends…
The Metaverse 105: Employment in the Metaverse
I’m sure we were all ecstatic when our bosses told us to return to work after working remotely for over a year. NOT! Every time I leave to go to work, I have a deep sinking feeling because my physical body doesn’t need to be there every day. Disclaimer. I am sick as a dog…
The Metaverse 104: Education in the Metaverse
The internet and technology brought a considerable shift in educating our children. I remember going to the computer lab to access the “Oregon Trail” and other games. There was a separation between the classroom and the computer. Today, my kids got issued Chromebooks that they can take back and forth. They have the internet at…
The Metaverse 103: Business in the Metaverse
The world as we know it is about to change. We can either accept our fate or get left behind. But, there is a third option⎼we can profit from this change. The change I am referring to is the metaverse. Yes, the metaverse is the new buzzword around town, but it carries enormous implications. Previously,…
The Metaverse 102: Investing in Virtual Real Estate
Let me be clear; I was very intentional with the word “investing” in the title of this article. I didn’t write “buying, flipping, selling” for a reason. The metaverse is the new gold rush—lots of investors will make millions, but more people will go home in tears. As investors, we need to mitigate risk at…
The Metaverse 101: Enter the Metaverse
I have completed many written series over the last year I have been blogging. However, none may be more vital to investors than the one I am writing today about the metaverse. We are still in the very early stages of Web 3.0, and we will need to leverage everything we have learned about investing,…
5 Takeaways from “The Metaverse”
“The Metaverse” by Terry Winters is a critical book for all investors. I grew up in the 1980s and 1990s, so I watched the rise of the internet. The metaverse will have a similar effect on humankind, and as investors, we need to get ahead of the movement. The media identifies the metaverse as Internet…
