How to Get a Job at Roblox...in Roblox! & Weekly News Update

You may have seen the headlines back in 2021 about a guy who put all of his money into Dogecoin and became a millionaire...but then...well I'll let Chris tell you the story. THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE is a documentary film that has had brilliant reviews across the board (no.3 on Apple TV) and premiered at Tribeca 2023. In this conversation we talk about the film, which follows the personal stories of this generation's approach to money in the age of the internet. We also talk about the bigger themes going on at the moment - the cost of living, why the younger generations feel almost forced to take more risk, fear and greed, fomo and where we go next. This was an awesome chat, so thank you Chris for coming on. I can wholeheartedly recommend this film whether you're in this world or not, it is a brilliant (and at times harrowing) watch.

William Quigley is the co-founder of Tether aka the first fiat-backed stablecoin and most traded cryptocurrency to date and the co-founder of WAX - one of the most used blockchains in the world with over 10 million active users and 20 million transactions per day.  Before that he was the first institutional investor in Paypal, a very early supporter of Ethereum, worked for Disney and was CEO of the world’s largest marketplace for video game virtual items. His career and ability to consistently predict and execute on the next major trends is really incredible and this episode is full of some really brilliant insights.  We talk about his career, how he spots these trends and what the future looks like for blockchain gaming amongst other things.

If blockchain gaming is lining up to be the next major narrative, then this new game is leading the charge - it's called Pixels and it shot to the top of the charts this week with over 100k daily active users. We explain all. We also put the Humane AI pin under scrutiny - a good step towards a more human relationship with technology or a silicon valley passion project? And a recent study has shown how robots are now able to use a sense of 'touch' - this could have profound impacts for prosthetics and the future of consumer bots in our house. As always, nothing in this episode is financial advice, it is just for informational purposes, always do your own research. Thanks for listening.

Magnopus are one of Hollywood’s best kept secrets. They are the guys that everyone calls (WB, Paramount, Disney, Pixar, Universal, Amazon Studios) when they need a technology solution for something that’s never been done before.  Their incredible work spans across virtual production for the Lion King, to Real Time Environment buildouts for Westworld, an immersive concert for Maddison Beer, a Blade Runner 2049 VR Experience, the Dubai Expo Cross-Reality Experience - the list is absurdly impressive. It's also rare that you get someone who has so much experience building in this space, with so much foresight for the future AND can also explain it simply if you're new. Sol did exactly that with lots of very helpful actionable and practical advice. It was an absolute pleasure to have him on the show. I would highly recommend you follow him and his team on the following links!

Now that we've had the layoffs, SBF's trial and major corrections across the board...we know what happens next. Are we beginning to see crypto and metaverse sentiments gradually turn positive again? This week Luke and Robin take a sense check of the space as a whole, assess what has survived and what is beginning to thrive once more. In this episode we talk about : - The cyclical nature of the crypto and tech markets - The Meta Quest 3 getting in the hands of everyday people and mixed reality making a lot of sense - The NFT projects that survived (RTFKT and Nike releasing sort after sneakers) - The Ryder Ripps / BAYC case coming to a close and what the future looks like for Yuga Labs - Unreal Fest and where Epic Games' focus is for the next few months - Robin's wild Guinness World Record spending the longest time playing a game in VR Luke's Twitter/X : ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/luke_franks⁠⁠⁠⁠ Robin's Twitter/X : ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/IamSuperMassive⁠⁠⁠⁠ For speaker/appearance/advisory bookings - please pop a message to [email protected]

AI continues to be the topic on everyone's mind but how do you really make best use of it at your company, as part of your campaigns or for your customers? Recently we saw Coca-Cola launch a campaign, which was simple, fun and accessible - giving fans of the brand a chance to co-create using AI, in a way that was intuitive to them. To talk us through it and get expert advice on how the next generation are viewing AI, where they are spending their time and where this is all heading...we talk to 2 of the very best, who worked on the Coca-Cola campaign. Nic Hill is the Co-founder and Head of Interactive at Sawhorse (a 360 production company who are creating some of the best immersive media out there) and Amanda Stroud-Amory - producer at VIRTUE Worldwide (the agency powered by VICE) - who have a reputation for having their finger on the pulse of culture and regularly work with many of the biggest brands in the world. Lots of great advice and insight in this one!
