On today's episode of the Tech Talks Daily Podcast, we're joined by Angel Grant to discuss the results of the F5 Survey on Emerging Tech. For example, did you know that one in ten IT decision-makers are already operating in the Metaverse, and 51% expect to be there within five years or sooner.

However, this virtual world also brings new threats, such as virtual reality storefront attacks and the potential for ransomware in the Metaverse. Many IT professionals are also concerned about the security and data privacy risks associated with the Metaverse, with six in ten reporting that it has introduced complexities their organization may not be equipped to handle. Additionally, 37% say their organization has already been attacked in relation to the Metaverse.

As we continue to explore the possibilities of the Metaverse, we discuss the importance of addressing these concerns to ensure a seamless and secure experience.

We have arrived in 2023, and big topics such as Social media, independent media, journalism, futurism, censorship, surveillance, algorithms, digital rights, and Internet freedom are more important than ever. But what role does technology play in fixing the problems created by big tech?

Bill Ottman is the co-founder and CEO of Minds, an open source decentralized social networking app with 6M+ users focused on censorship resistance, global dialogue, privacy, and creator monetization with both traditional payments and cryptocurrency. He is also the co-author of "The Censorship Effect".

I learn more about how the code and algorithms behind Minds are free and open source for maximum transparency and accountability and how they believe the only way to change someone's mind is if you provide them with a platform to speak it.

Brennan Spellacy, Co-Founder, and CEO of carbon offset technology business Patch shares the story behind the company. I also learn how their technology enables customers to calculate their carbon footprint to identify and finance offset projects that capture the equivalent carbon dioxide emissions associated with that footprint. The company works with over 100 corporations and institutions, including the likes of Farfetch, Afterpay, Harvard University, and the University of Oxford. Its customer portfolio spans industries such as travel, fintech, crypto, and ecommerce. Patch is jointly headquartered in London and San Francisco, and its principal investor is American VC fund Andreessen Horowitz. We discuss how the software allows companies to choose which projects they'd like to finance to support the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, with projects ranging from reforestation and conservation projects to more high-tech, early-stage technologies like direct air capture and sequestration projects.

Finally we explore the current macroeconomic landscape for climate technology founders in the UK and US right now and how Patch's technology works in practice and why it should not be viewed as an alternative to the decarbonisation of business.

As work environments undergo a rapid transformation and distributed and hybrid workforces become the norm, the need for an efficient, smooth digital document creation and management process becomes paramount. Documents remain the essential glue of how business gets done, but many professionals still need help in manual legacy processes or face challenges in their digital document creation.

The old way of signing and sending documents means you're tethered to your desk. The new way: collect eSignatures wherever life takes you – whether it's an office or a beach halfway around the world. You can even track important updates right from your mobile phone.

So today, I have invited Mikita Mikado, CEO of PandaDoc, to explore Digital transformation in remote work environments and the mission to create seamless document creation and finalization tools. We also discuss how PandaDoc recently introduced the first "forever free" e-signature solution and offers businesses of all sizes an all-in-one solution to easily manage the creation, editing, and signing of documents in every work setting in the new era of hybrid and remote work.
