Welcome to Well Versed!
Our mission is simple: if we don't know, we learn! Join us each week as we learn from Well Versed entrepreneurs & thought leaders as they share their origin stories, career journeys, and current industry insights.
In this season, we will take a deep dive into Web 3.
Metaverse? Blockchain? NFTs? Bitcoin? We see these buzzwords making headlines and massive amounts of capital associated with them, but what exactly is Web 3? Is it really our future?
Currently, I see a gap between those feverishly working in the space vs the general public observing from the outside, and even with the buzz, Web 3 is still in its infancy although quite technically advanced. Generalizations and misconceptions seem to fuel the polarized sentiment around the industry…
But our community thrives in the unknown. Before forming opinions, we learn together. Before rejecting change, we seek truth!
Let's find out what Web 3 is all about and how industry leaders envision integrating the tech to enhance business models and ultimately, our world at large.
