My guest on E298 of #thePOZcast is Cathy Hackl! Cathy, aka The Godmother of the Metaverse, is a highly respected global business executive, tech futurist, and media personality. Cathy has been a fixture in immersive technology for almost a decade. She's a leading authority in emerging tech and leads Journey's Virtual Studio, helping companies, brands, cities, and governments with gaming, AR, AI, spatial computing, metaverse, web3, virtual world strategies, and strategic foresight.
