Best Of 2024 (Part 1)

What a year it has been for Into the Metaverse! As 2024 comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to celebrate what has been an incredible year of conversations, milestones, and, most importantly, growth in understanding the ever-evolving metaverse. This year, we crossed the 100-episode milestone—a huge achievement that wouldn’t have been possible without your support. To everyone who’s tuned in, shared our content, or simply joined the conversation, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We’ve had the privilege of hosting some of the most innovative minds in the metaverse space. To reflect on this extraordinary year, we’re bringing you not one but two special "Best Of" episodes featuring clips from the conversations that sparked the most engagement, generated the most insight, and helped us all better understand where the metaverse is headed. In this first of two episodes, you’ll hear from four amazing guests whose perspectives and expertise have helped shape our understanding of this transformative moment in tech and culture. Each clip highlights ideas and predictions that are driving the metaverse forward, and we hope they inspire you as much as they’ve inspired us.
