Disruptors and curious minds! This week, we're spawning in the metaverse with Sebastien Borget, Co-Founder and COO of the Sandbox. Sebastien is also President of the Blockchain Game Alliance. He was named in the Top 100 most influential people in blockchain by CoinTelegraph and is a global proponent of the metaverse, web3 and blockchain. Over 400 brands are building experiences and games in the Sandbox, including Samsung, Adidas, Warner Music Group, Ubisoft, PWC, Gucci, The Walking Dead, Snoop Dogg, The Smurfs, Care Bears and Atari. Why? We’ll be asking Sebastien about the culture of the decentralized metaverse, how the Sandbox is democratising gaming, how global communities differ, whether interoperability between games like the Sandbox and Fortnite is possible, what Snoop Dogg and Avenged Sevenfold are up to on the platform and how brands can expect to use the platform in the coming months and years to build relationships and entertain their consumers.

We put a big focus on that community and all the tools and products we provide to empower them.” “Part of the beauty of web3 is it's really leveling up everyone and enabling new people to enter this industry and become a creator, even though they were not part of the previous Web 2 or gaming free-to-play revolution.” “I think it varies across cultures. Some markets are more interested in the financialization aspect and what traditional ownership means in term of monetization, while others are really excited by the creative side and the ‘no code game maker.’” “We're not creating a gaming platform, we're creating a virtual world with a map where people are connecting around a new form of entertainment, a combination of social, culture and gaming.” “The sandbox is a new form of entertainment. It's very social, people come to connect and make friends, to chat and to interact. You can encounter experiences of art, sport, fashion, music, entertainment, museums and culture.” “The map is a new social discovery layer where your location matters. “We saw the rising importance of the Avatar, your digital identity. It’s what connects you, defines you, and in web3 you own that Avatar as an NFT.” “It's a beautiful Melting Pot that reflects the beauty of the metaverse: a very inclusive world where people choose their identity.” - - - - - - - - -- - - 👉 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3owJQFbbjM0&t=212s ====================== 🔗 Follow Mark And Jeremy: Join the Book Club:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Thinking on Paper⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with Mark:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Mark Fielding⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with Jeremy:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Jeremy Gilbertson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #metaverse #sebastienborgetinterview #sandbox #technologypodcast #emergingtechnologypodcast #web3 #emergingtech #blockchainpodcast #web3forbrands #thinkingonpaper

They gained nine million subscribers last quarter and now have a positive cash flow.” “They're a television channel with one revenue stream. In the history of television you have to go back 50 or 60 years to find a truly long term profitable television channel that had one revenue stream. And that was back when there were three channels broadcast.” “I don't like doomed, doomed is hyperbolic. They're not going to go out of business, but they're going to gently become what CBS is now.” “The NY Times has probably one of the best lifestyle bundles, one of the best super aggregation Platforms in media. It’s a really tight package and they're doing it with 10 million subscribers, not 200 million subscribers.” “Younger consumers are much more likely to pay for content than older consumers, but they want to get their money's worth. The best example I can give you is Spotify.” “Apple is facing some issues. First of all they skew to the rich, you know the cost of their products are exorbitant. Every single one of their Hardware products fell in sales in the third quarter except the iPhone, and it only went up 2%.” “60% of the planet's eight to 15 year olds play Minecraft.”  “People on other social media platforms make fun of LinkedIn, but it's the last bastion of Peace in social media. It's the last place in social media where being a douchebag isn't celebrated.” “I think you're going to start to see creators go on strike against platforms like Tik Tok and YouTube and meta to get better shares of revenue.” ====================== 👉 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQ6lPtOcgnE&t=1910s ====================== 🔗 Follow Mark And Jeremy: Join the Book Club:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Thinking on Paper⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with Mark:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Mark Fielding⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with Jeremy:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Jeremy Gilbertson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #evanshapiro #netflix #amazon #tv #streaming #entertainmentpodcast #technologypodcast #techpodcast #tvpodcast #web3podcast #whattolistento #media

Disruptors and Curious Minds! Our most connected experiences usually require geographic proximity in three dimensions with other human beings. Concerts, weddings, and soccer matches all transform individual attendees into a universal collective. When you think about it, an audience is a network that transmits, receives and aggregates emotion based on a specific stimulus. For instance, when your favourite team scores the game winning goal, the arena erupts. Is that kind of connection possible in the digital realm? One place to point to in search of answers is gaming. Fortnite, Roblox and others are testing ways to emulate the magic of the game-winning goal, but does it hit the same? On the other hand, games allow us to defy physics. We can’t become invisible or shoot lasers out of our eyes, so games do offer something that the real world cannot.

That lens may not be sufficient to capture the complexity of the problem that you have in front of you.” ⛓️ 🔗 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 Julio Ottino & Buy The Book Nexus Thinking🔗 ⛓️ Julio - https://www.juliomarioottino.com/ Nexus Thinking - https://www.thenexusbook.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ⛓️ 🔗 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐉𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐲🔗 ⛓️ 🔥Thinking on Paper Website - http://www.thinkingonpaper.xyz/ 🔥Connect With Mark - https://www.markfielding.xyz 🔥Connect With Jeremy - https://www.jeremygilbertson.com/ #clearthinking #nexus #nexusthinking #whatisclearthinking #leadershippodcast #leadership #businesspodcast #thinkbetter #thinkingonpaper #julioottino #artscienceandtechnology

It was very much a hobbyist business back in the 80s. The people who were playing games were also trying to make games in their bedrooms.” “On the technology side, as far as development goes, the rule-based systems in graphic physics and lighting allowed developers flexibility to create open worlds and for worlds to be generated around the gamer rather than everything being on rails.” “The graphics got people's attention and then the technology allowed the game play to get to a depth that had never been there before.” “We talked to them about their music listening habits and gaming habits and one of the things that was very clear - and why I was excited about the rule-based engine - was gamers were getting tired of the looping music. Even though there's a lot of clever stuff done in games today, they were turning everything off and listening to Apple or Spotify in the background.” - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - About Jesper Nordin Jesper Nordin is a Swedish composer with international acclaim. His music is performed by world renowned conductors like Esa-Pekka Salonen, Daniel Harding and Kent Nagano, and performed by world-famous musicians like Martin Fröst, Pekka Kuusisto and Malin Broman. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - About David Knox David has over 26 years in the interactive entertainment industry. He personally contributed to many of the strategic decisions that saw Electronic Art’s grow from a 2nd tier European publisher / distributor to leadership in Europe with digital and direct to retail operations in more than 20 countries. At Electronic Arts he worked with the Senior Executives and global development teams on the strategy for key franchises such as FIFA, Need for Speed, Battlefield and The Sims. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ⛓️ 🔗 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 Jesper and David🔗 ⛓️ Jesper - https://jespernordin.com/ David - https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidknox1/ Reactional Music - https://reactionalmusic.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ⛓️ 🔗 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐉𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐲🔗 ⛓️ 🔥Thinking on Paper Website - http://www.thinkingonpaper.xyz/ 🔥Connect With Mark - https://linktr.ee/markfielding 🔥Connect With Jeremy - https://www.jeremygilbertson.com/ #videogames #videogamemusic #emergingtechpodcast #emergingtechnology #music #thinkingonpaper #web3podcast #gamestrategy
