Happy Holidays from Vertex School!

Welcome to the new/old podcast: The Creative Metaverse where we interview creatives, artists and technologists helping to create the new creative tech universe! I'm super excited to bring some new voices to our podcast to both interview and to be interviewed.

You know, there is a great saying by Arthur C Clark, "The Future is already here. It's just not evenly distributed."  You and I are riding a wave that most people can't comprehend yet but... soon will.  Whether you call it the metaverse, the mirrorverse, Witcher season 2...  creativity is making a bigger dent in the universe than it ever has before and it's bringing along with it some very cool tech.

I look forward to sharing some new voices with y'all from our new home base in Austin, TX.

Much Love,

Ryan
