My guests on today’s podcast are Brittany Bond and Wade Cohn, Co-Founders of SwivelMeta.
We discuss the current state of the metaverse, considering it’s been a while since we’ve entered the bear market and many large corporations, who were super excited about getting into the space have somewhat pulled back their resources and attention.
The team at SwivelMeta are well placed to answer questions on this topic as they are helping brands get into the space and create immersive experiences for their communities.
