Cathy Hackl: Who is The Godmother of the Metaverse?

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. 
Brands like Nike, Walmart, Louis Vuitton, and Clinique have trusted her to guide them into new virtual spaces on their emerging tech journeys.

I’m excited to welcome her onto the show to bring some insight into this exciting but confusing world we’re all barreling towards. We will unpack her career and the impact of future tech, including AI, The Metaverse, and so much more. This is a great show for anyone who either knows a ton about this space or is interested to learn more. Check it out!
