January 05, 2024#54 Building A Billion Dollar Metaverse: With Sebastien Borget, COO Of The Sandbox
Disruptors and curious minds! This week, we're spawning in the metaverse with Sebastien Borget, Co-Founder and COO of the Sandbox.

Sebastien is also President of the Blockchain Game Alliance. He was named in the Top 100 most influential people in blockchain by CoinTelegraph and is a global proponent of the metaverse, web3 and blockchain.
Over 400 brands are building experiences and games in the Sandbox, including Samsung, Adidas, Warner Music Group, Ubisoft, PWC, Gucci, The Walking Dead, Snoop Dogg, The Smurfs, Care Bears and Atari. Why?
We’ll be asking Sebastien about the culture of the decentralized metaverse, how the Sandbox is democratising gaming, how global communities differ, whether interoperability between games like the Sandbox and Fortnite is possible, what Snoop Dogg and Avenged Sevenfold are up to on the platform and how brands can expect to use the platform in the coming months and years to build relationships and entertain their consumers.

Quotes From Sebastien on The show
“The most important category for us is the creators. We put a big focus on that community and all the tools and products we provide to empower them.”
“Part of the beauty of web3 is it's really leveling up everyone and enabling new people to enter this industry and become a creator, even though they were not part of the previous Web 2 or gaming free-to-play revolution.”
“I think it varies across cultures. Some markets are more interested in the financialization aspect and what traditional ownership means in term of monetization, while others are really excited by the creative side and the ‘no code game maker.’”
“We're not creating a gaming platform, we're creating a virtual world with a
map where people are connecting around a new form of entertainment, a combination of social, culture and gaming.”
“The sandbox is a new form of entertainment. It's very social, people come to connect and make friends, to chat and to interact. You can encounter experiences of art, sport, fashion, music, entertainment, museums and culture.”
“The map is a new social discovery layer where your location matters.
“We saw the rising importance of the Avatar, your digital identity. It’s what connects you, defines you, and in web3 you own that Avatar as an NFT.”
“It's a beautiful Melting Pot that reflects the beauty of the metaverse: a very inclusive world where people choose their identity.”

Quotes From The Show
“Netflix have more paying subscribers than any other video platform on the face of the Earth. They gained nine million subscribers last quarter and now have a positive cash flow.”
“They're a television channel with one revenue stream. In the history of television you have to go back 50 or 60 years to find a truly long term profitable television channel that had one revenue stream. And that was back when there were three channels broadcast.”
“I don't like doomed, doomed is hyperbolic. They're not going to go out of business, but they're going to gently become what CBS is now.”
“The NY Times has probably one of the best lifestyle bundles, one of the best super aggregation Platforms in media. It’s a really tight package and they're doing it with 10 million subscribers, not 200 million subscribers.”
“Younger consumers are much more likely to pay for content than older consumers, but they want to get their money's worth. The best example I can give you is Spotify.”
“Apple is facing some issues. First of all they skew to the rich, you know the cost of their products are exorbitant. Every single one of their Hardware products fell in sales in the third quarter except the iPhone, and it only went up 2%.”
“60% of the planet's eight to 15 year olds play Minecraft.”
“People on other social media platforms make fun of LinkedIn, but it's the last bastion of Peace in social media. It's the last place in social media where being a douchebag isn't celebrated.”
“I think you're going to start to see creators go on strike against platforms like Tik Tok and YouTube and meta to get better shares of revenue.”

November 15, 2023#52 Can You REALLY Connect With Someone In The Virtual World? Designing Super Experiences For Brands Blend The Virtual And Physical!
Disruptors and Curious Minds! Our most connected experiences usually require geographic proximity in three dimensions with other human beings. Concerts, weddings, and soccer matches all transform individual attendees into a universal collective. When you think about it, an audience is a network that transmits, receives and aggregates emotion based on a specific stimulus. For instance, when your favourite team scores the game winning goal, the arena erupts.
Is that kind of connection possible in the digital realm? One place to point to in search of answers is gaming. Fortnite, Roblox and others are testing ways to emulate the magic of the game-winning goal, but does it hit the same? On the other hand, games allow us to defy physics. We can’t become invisible or shoot lasers out of our eyes, so games do offer something that the real world cannot.

Quotes from the show
“I realized that thinking like an artist, being more able to think
visually, was a huge advantage in anything.”
“I think the best ideas happen at the intersections of domains.”
“The inspiration may have come from something more metaphorical, more
holistic, more artistic.
“It's that serendipitous inspiration which comes from somewhere that you can't replicate with a prompt.”
“I really believe that our minds and thinking are enriched when
you make an effort to understand how other people in other disciplines think.”
“You can teach creativity, but it is very hard to teach because at the root of it is how to be curious and how to be curious is much harder to teach than how to be creative.”
“We are all born with curiosity and creativity and then part of the education kills it in some way.”
“Maybe the idea that AI can help you with divergent thinking is not a far fetched idea.”
“If I give you the behavior of the units that comprise the complex system you may not be able to predict what the system will do.”
“Having a team where you involve people with different view
points are essential.”
“Whatever library you have in your brain is the lens through which you see the world. That lens may not be sufficient to capture the complexity of the problem that you have in front of you.”
