01:22
event they have here
01:24
going on so nice ceiling i don’t know if
01:27

01:31
it’s not bad right yeah okay so
01:35
you can roll with it
01:36
so
01:38
heading around here i heard there’s a
01:39
guy named eliza john around really
01:42
famous guy
01:44
you might be you might be around here
01:45
somewhere cowboy cowboy
01:48
as it is somewhere behind me but the
01:50
thing that the uh the tva does really
01:52
well
01:53
is
01:54
bring together a lot of uh
01:57
important people and smart people
02:00
absolutely actually that was the most
02:01
impressive thing here uh was was the
02:04
intelligent people that are doing their
02:06
work in dc the intelligent people that
02:09
are doing the work in dc and you know
02:11
there’s a reason why we’re all here
02:13
right it’s a little smarter than the
02:15
average bear
02:16
you’ll be around where they’re printing
02:17
the money they’re putting the money
02:18
right down the street so if you live
02:20
close here you’re pretty smart right

09:22
well
09:27
pleasure nice to meet you guys
09:29
so we are live yes
09:32
so i know you’re working uh with cnn
09:34
right i don’t know how this officially
09:37
you can talk about how that works
09:39
uh oh it’s nothing really because
09:43
we’re here we’re at the after event
09:45
[Music]
09:46
how did you like the event did you uh
09:49
you know would you find it informative
09:53
i did i found it very informative um i
09:56
honestly took like 15 pages of notes
09:59
and i’m not kidding i numbered all of
10:00
them
10:01
so i found yesterday’s panels really
10:04
good about you know fintech and finance
10:07
something i’m not very familiar with
10:09
today’s legal panels and different
10:12
speakers who came on to talk about
10:13
different aspects of law were really
10:15
interesting
10:16
i came in just needing to learn a lot
10:18
about this industry and what goes into
10:20
it and i feel like uh it was a mission
10:22
accomplished for me
10:24
being here well that’s awesome i mean
10:26
you know we’ve been in a long time we’re
10:27
really big pointers
10:29
we’ve called early stage technology
10:31
started doing our business but we did
10:33
the media as well not as good as we see
10:35
it then of course everybody you know we
10:38
go around we have our own deals this is
10:40
good you’re mobile and it’s very bright
10:42
so your lighting is on point well done
10:44
yeah you look amazing oh yeah thanks
10:47
thanks
10:47
so how do you think i mean how is cnn uh
10:50
you know dealing with it i feel like we
10:52
have el salvador doing what they’re
10:54
doing
10:55
you know
10:56
is there like a uh do you think there’s
10:58
gonna be a blockchain kind of department
11:00
or how do you see a progression i don’t
11:02
know to be completely honest i don’t
11:04
know i know cnn covers a lot of business
11:06
aspects uh we’ve got you know
11:09
cnn tech speak force yeah there’s a lot
11:11
i uh nothing is nothing i say it
11:13
represents no retweets or anything
11:17
um what i have just guessed and
11:18
speculated we have a really great you
11:20
know business team that covers these and
11:22
we’ve got a lot going on so you know
11:24
cnn’s covering
11:26
everything worldwide international
11:28
domestic politics tech finance money
11:30
business all that stuff so
11:33
there’s not i mean it’s hard
11:36
it’s really busy you know it’s really
11:38
busy i think that this is an emerging
11:40
um emerging space
11:43
that is definitely making its own way if
11:46
that makes sense so whether it’s media
11:48
converts whether it’s just the
11:49
general public knowing more about it
11:52
like education is important so when
11:54
media is part of that education
11:57
it you don’t really have a choice that
11:59
makes sense if it’s a story it’s a story
12:01
and media will cover it appropriately
12:04
i do think from my personal observation
12:07
that this is a
12:09
field that’s a little bit difficult to
12:11
cover so these are topics these are
12:13
journalists as well
12:14
um this is my journalist friends
12:18
and yes okay these are my journalist
12:20
friends as well we’re all part of the
12:21
media and we were saying earlier that
12:23
sometimes there’s a language that’s used
12:27
that is not understandable for the
12:28
general public it’s hardly
12:30
understandable for myself
12:31
so when you’re talking about finance or
12:33
you’re talking about law or you’re
12:35
talking about
12:36
crypto blockchain nft
12:38
the metaverse like it’s
12:40
it’s a lot that you’re trying to cover
12:41
there so just me even coming and
12:43
learning the language of it
12:46
is part of the process of being able to
12:48
communicate it to the public so i think
12:50
sometimes there’s a general fear of
12:52
covering it because it’s hard to digest
12:54
so
12:55
you don’t know what you’re covering
12:56
right you’re like
12:58
well and the media shouldn’t have to
12:59
serve as translators but in this space
13:02
right now it’s still kind of a
13:03
translated effort
13:17
and really mainly
13:23
[Music]
13:25
but the deal flow coming through is
13:27
amazing i mean it’s just uh everybody is
13:30
so excited about the metabolism and you
13:32
don’t even know what it is
13:34
nobody does the matter versus right
13:36
they’re like oh yeah it’s so cool
13:38
we need to invest in the better person
13:40
yeah buy land buy real estate get in now
13:43
everything you dreamed of as a kid
13:44
really i mean do you guys know what the
13:46
metaverse is well yeah
13:50
it’s uh
13:52
it exists okay
13:55
it’s like another dimension
13:57
like i
13:58
actually saw some of it in dc or in uh
14:01
miami at the massachusetts we have
14:03
different street setups
14:05
and a lot of it you can take your uh
14:07
camera and it loads like the instagram
14:09
filter yeah and then it’ll come to life
14:11
and everything else so
14:13
another client that i’m working with
14:14
actually drop d-r-o-p-p one of my
14:17
favorite project sections and they’re
14:19
you’re using geo locations in order to
14:22
miss the nft so you have to be at the
14:24
location in a minute so if you wanted to
14:27
have here
14:28
we could do it
14:30
and then you couldn’t buy it unless you
14:32
were here yeah so like it’s like is that
14:35
like a p-o-a-p kind of thing where
14:37
you’re you’re there so it’s like proof
14:39
of attack yeah something like that out
14:41
of attendance you’re there
14:50
that to me sounds way more interesting
14:52
than the general description of the
14:53
metabolism i agree
15:01
and really augmented reality has changed
15:03
the way that people experience the
15:05
metabolism so usually you have to wear
15:07
these classes and then that was you know
15:09
that was you can see the magnets
15:17
[Music]
15:23
yeah i think so i mean it is a weird
15:25
concept still but i do understand the
15:28
value of it in terms of you know wanting
15:29
to go to a virtual concert or wanting to
15:31
attend something that you’re not able to
15:33
attend in person especially
15:35
during coven or during long-distance
15:37
events
15:38
um i see the experiential benefit to it
15:42
the idea of
15:43
you know playing sports inside the
15:45
metaverse personally does not sound
15:47
great to me because i like to play
15:48
sports in the real world you know soccer
15:52
so i was last night literally trying to
15:54
think like
15:54
how am i going to play soccer in the
15:56
metaphors like that’s just not the same
15:57
thing and like
15:59
yeah it’s just different but i see the
16:01
value of playing different games or
16:03
interacting with people i have friends
16:05
we met from all over the world so we
16:07
don’t always get to see each other but i
16:08
can see our whole entire group of
16:10
friends getting into the metaverse and
16:11
hanging out from all over the world
16:16
exactly creating an nfc of the
16:18
experiential nft right sound
16:22
more appealing than other uses of nfts
16:25
and other purposes for the metaverse
16:28
changed everything
16:49
in the mirror and i guess i should get
16:50
them but like
16:52
well
16:53
i don’t like peer pressure and i don’t
16:54
like mainstream anything so if everybody
16:56
is doing something it’s like my instinct
16:59
wants to run the other way but that’s
17:01
made me want to learn more about this
17:02
because it does feel inevitable it does
17:04
feel like you know nfts are emerging
17:07
everywhere there’s use for them
17:08
everywhere there’s a chance to change so
17:10
many industries through them the
17:12
metaverse is coming we’re not gonna
17:14
avoid it i’m not about to embrace it but
17:17
i can objectively see value in
17:19
everything but i’m also very skeptical
17:21
of all of these things yeah if that
17:23
makes sense very cool but we’ll
17:25
definitely invite you to the next
17:26
versace
17:27
thank you
17:39
of course thank you guys and where are
17:41
you basically yeah
18:11
so
18:12
you see kind of uh you know people don’t
18:15
know what the heck the metabolism right
18:18
they don’t know what the heck it is
18:20
but i do
18:24
i know what it is
18:25
so does
18:27
stick with us guys
18:30
we’ll be fine
18:32
so
18:33
i don’t think we’ll break into there we
18:35
kind of cruise around this way
18:37
maybe stand in front of us definitely
18:39
here
18:43
but just wanted to show you kind of what
18:44
they had going on here fun event
18:47
for everybody
18:52
it is
19:05

19:09
