Esperanza Smith - Consciousness and Well-being of our Future
Are you a female entrepreneur who wonders what the future, web 3.0 and the Metaverse, will look like as technology advances and connects the Consciousness Movement with our holistic well-being and working out of the premise that Energy is Everything? Are you among the many female entrepreneurs interested in tapping into their limitless potential in six key elements of intersectional living: Education, Healing, Arts, Business, Environment, and Social-Global Awareness?
This week on the Wellness and Wealth podcast, Esperanza Smith of PureEsperanza, NFP, addresses our human evolution as multi-dimensional beings needing multiple ways to meet our needs through learning experiences and products for our evolving consciousness. She’ll also share how a community of global visionaries, leaders, and healers are guiding a truly holistic future - creating a bright and expansive planet for generations to come.
In this episode, Esperanza Smith answers the following questions:
- What does consciousness look like in the future?
- Are we doing a better job of passing on this new transformative era to our children and grandchildren?
- What is the Metaverse?
- Where can mindfulness and tech mix?

00:02:26.461 --> 00:02:28.021
Welcome to the show.
00:02:28.741 --> 00:02:29.611
Oh, thank you.
00:02:29.611 --> 00:02:30.812
Thank you so much, Wendy.
00:02:30.812 --> 00:02:32.072
Thank you for having me here.
00:02:32.072 --> 00:02:34.502
And thank you for that long introduction.
00:02:35.762 --> 00:02:39.361
But I really appreciate that and it just, it does give a full scope.
00:02:39.361 --> 00:03:00.292
But anyway, it's really great and thank you for the opportunity to be able to speak with people about this beautiful topic that is affecting all of us and all of our lives and how we engage with life itself, consciousness, and how that plays over into our wellbeing.
00:03:01.167 --> 00:03:01.646
Thank you.
00:03:01.646 --> 00:03:08.396
And I love reading out full bios and I'll tell you why because sometimes when you're hearing it from the other sides, you're like, oh, that is me.
00:03:08.667 --> 00:03:09.497
I can claim that.
00:03:09.546 --> 00:03:12.667
And I think that's a positive thing that we claim what we do.
00:03:12.667 --> 00:03:32.651
But I wanna get into today's topic of consciousness and I love the work that you're doing because I think that we are in a time in our culture where things are opening up for people to realize it's okay to think differently than, past generations.
00:03:33.042 --> 00:03:40.365
I think that we are probably in the most transformative era that we've been in and still have a way to go.
00:03:41.094 --> 00:03:48.474
So I'd love to know from you, what does consciousness look like to you now and in the future?
00:03:49.044 --> 00:03:56.020
Yeah, so for me, consciousness is something that is, it exists, it's what is right now.
00:03:56.349 --> 00:04:03.539
And I think what you were saying, tapped into the idea that, every generation probably has had an inkling of that.
00:04:03.544 --> 00:04:05.854
We're in a really transformative time because we are.
00:04:06.004 --> 00:04:13.504
And I say that because, I think for those people cycling and are on the second half of life so to speak.
00:04:13.865 --> 00:04:20.644
We've seen so much change happen and so then we can actually claim yes, it's really transformative right now.
00:04:20.644 --> 00:04:26.495
And when you're maybe not quite at that half stage of life, you are still in the, in between place.
00:04:26.500 --> 00:04:29.615
And so you don't feel the fullness of what that is.
00:04:29.615 --> 00:04:37.639
Once you have grandkids or have those kinds of cycles that have happened naturally in your life, you have that scope to be able to see that all.
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:44.519
So for me, this state of consciousness is just where we are right now.
00:04:44.829 --> 00:04:46.180
It's always prevalent.
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:48.790
It always exists and it's.
00:04:49.384 --> 00:04:52.165
How we think of our own expansion.
00:04:52.464 --> 00:04:59.004
So whatever it is that we're learning and transforming in our own lives, we continue to expand.
00:04:59.009 --> 00:05:00.204
And that's that energy.
00:05:00.415 --> 00:05:12.355
So I think it's synonymous with energy consciousnesses as well as I think some people perceive it as, the force of love or life itself.
00:05:12.654 --> 00:05:20.115
So I don't think there's Way that we would define consciousness other than for me, it's the very existence of the energy life itself.
00:05:20.714 --> 00:05:22.454
And that's always evolving.
00:05:23.415 --> 00:05:24.165
I love that.
00:05:24.165 --> 00:05:48.274
You bring up something I think that's relevant is, do you think that when we talk about that we're in a more of a transformative, era that younger people are starting to get that, because I know growing up for myself, this was not even on the radar.
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:50.464
It wasn't words you heard.
00:05:50.487 --> 00:05:57.168
And I've talked before on the show about how, I've come from entrepreneurs, I believe you came from very hardworking entrepreneurs.
00:05:57.468 --> 00:06:01.749
And so we weren't talking about consciousness, we weren't talking about the here and now.
00:06:01.749 --> 00:06:04.548
We weren't talking about developing.
00:06:04.548 --> 00:06:07.134
We were talking about, you work hard, you play hard.
00:06:07.134 --> 00:06:19.204
So do you think that we're doing a better job as, let's say, parents or individuals, as we going into the second half of our lives, you think we're doing better passing it on to our children?
00:06:20.024 --> 00:06:38.584
I think that inevitably we must, I mean we can, let's say from a very practical standpoint, we can look, many of us where our parents came from and we can see maybe, some of their journey and what happened for them and even some of that, notion that they were creating something that was going to be for their children.
00:06:39.173 --> 00:06:44.843
And I know that I became a parent and thought that the same way, what could I do to pass over to my children?
00:06:44.843 --> 00:06:46.074
And now I have grandchildren.
00:06:46.074 --> 00:06:48.684
And I think that along those lines too.
00:06:49.163 --> 00:06:56.624
And I see my son and our other children who have children going into that same way of thinking.
00:06:56.863 --> 00:07:02.369
So we're always, I think doing and at least trying, making the effort to do something better.
00:07:02.369 --> 00:07:08.879
For the most I think there is a consciousness there that's moving because that's part of that consciousness that continues to expand.
00:07:09.178 --> 00:07:16.439
So I think that no matter what we do, we are evolving as a whole species, as a human rights, we're evolving.
00:07:16.678 --> 00:07:20.968
And so that's that part of consciousness that continues to expand and grow.
00:07:21.434 --> 00:07:24.884
Within us and then affects the collective as a whole.
00:07:25.124 --> 00:07:37.403
So I've lived long enough to see those radical changes, let's say in culture as a young child that was born in the sixties, and, to see that cultural revolution that was going on.
00:07:37.408 --> 00:07:40.153
And I had older siblings who were teenagers at that time.
00:07:40.184 --> 00:07:44.923
And I saw Politics of that time and the social dilemmas of that time.
00:07:44.983 --> 00:07:49.274
Not much different than what we've seen just in the recent years too.
00:07:49.514 --> 00:08:00.004
So I think that, there was a part of me that was aware of those kinds of shifts that were happening and on a global level that were happening too, because we had so much more.
00:08:00.843 --> 00:08:06.814
Visual ability to connect with other parts of the world, like the Vietnam War, for instance, things of that nature.
00:08:07.053 --> 00:08:15.829
So we have now been, I guess in perhaps an indirect way, inducted into this next phase of our human evolution.
00:08:16.329 --> 00:08:19.988
And that's where I believe that we see the biggest shift happening.
00:08:20.019 --> 00:08:31.184
So things that, I've seen along the way be cultivated like r aising my children holistically or eating organically were things that were still pretty not well known now.
00:08:31.184 --> 00:08:42.563
It's pretty mainstream, and I've lived long enough to see that Whole Foods came about, to see that organics became a mainstream, or to see that the Chicago Public Schools has meditation classes going on as part of their afterschool programs.
00:08:42.744 --> 00:09:10.614
So, yes, of course we're evolving, and of course we hear mindfulness on cliche consumer side of things too, in terms of how people market things, because now everything is about, wellbeing and mindfulness and so I think that the task now then as the awareness has entered, is how do we keep that authenticity within this movement that's part of our life expression and will inevitably be connected to all those that we're connected with.
00:09:12.198 --> 00:09:12.379
Yeah.
00:09:12.379 --> 00:09:16.619
And it's so funny that you mentioned the eating organically and then it's so mainstream.
00:09:16.649 --> 00:09:18.479
Oh my gosh, you just brought back a memory for me.
00:09:18.808 --> 00:09:27.548
When I was young there was a health food store in our town and my mother insisted on shopping there and at the local farmer's market.
00:09:27.609 --> 00:09:35.139
And it was so counterintuitive to the rest of my family who live near New York City.
00:09:35.448 --> 00:09:37.712
They used to call where we lived the boonies because it was.
00:09:39.182 --> 00:09:42.243
But my mother was like, no, if we are gonna leave here, we're gonna eat healthy.
00:09:42.258 --> 00:09:46.577
And now of course I'm gonna, give my son healthier foods and healthier choices.
00:09:46.628 --> 00:09:49.207
But back then they thought she was nuts.
00:09:49.207 --> 00:09:58.457
Like, why wouldn't you just go to the store, or she'd go to the actual butcher, which years and years ago was a thing, but it had stopped being such a mainstream thing.
00:09:58.457 --> 00:10:03.587
So she'd go to a butcher and a farmer's market and a health food store and they thought she was out of her mind.
00:10:03.738 --> 00:10:07.528
It's so amazing because, you're telling my story too.
00:10:07.528 --> 00:10:14.182
I'm sure my children, even though I didn't really know it at the time, now as adults, they'll say, we were living what seemed awkward for them.
00:10:14.182 --> 00:10:18.572
And the more they became like teenagers and older, they were like, oh, this is really different.
00:10:18.572 --> 00:10:32.283
And I think those transitions to be able to understand later on like why I did what I did because all those holistic kind of practices and alternative practices, whether it was alternative medicine, alternative ways of eating, lifestyle, all those kinds of things.
00:10:32.648 --> 00:10:35.908
Now I think the study of sustainability has been ongoing.
00:10:35.937 --> 00:10:40.357
We have a name for it now, but the sustainability was what our ancestors and our ancestors before that.
00:10:40.357 --> 00:10:44.822
It's all the way down the line to how people lived in closer connection.
00:10:44.822 --> 00:10:52.832
And I think in this way we can look at consciousness itself as this evolutionary process that loops around.
00:10:52.832 --> 00:10:53.942
So it.
00:10:54.317 --> 00:10:59.477
No different than if we take us individually because we're like one aspect of consciousness.
00:10:59.477 --> 00:11:08.118
So if we take our life individually and we see how we've learned something, and then we've had to integrate it in a different way.
00:11:08.148 --> 00:11:25.788
For instance, you get a concept and then you have to integrate that, then you maybe, In some way implementation, and then it becomes more integrated into your being and then you take it to another level and it's the same kind of thing you learn, but now it's just a little bit more expanded and you have to incorporate it in a bigger way.
00:11:25.967 --> 00:11:29.778
And I think this is true of what's happened to the whole of all of us.
00:11:29.783 --> 00:11:41.148
So when we look at these, like at the cosmology or the och of all these different civilizations, we can see aspects of our human abilities from.
00:11:42.048 --> 00:11:47.868
Sustaining ourself on the physical level to then learning more about where we are in the emotional body.
00:11:48.258 --> 00:11:56.238
And of course, many of us are still working with wounds and traumas and how to, you know, eradicate them and release them from our systems.
00:11:56.508 --> 00:11:58.337
And then the, the mental.
00:11:58.508 --> 00:12:03.847
The landscape that we've developed around all of these experiences.
00:12:04.057 --> 00:12:10.418
So at each level we might take one experience, but we're going to look at it from each of those levels.
00:12:10.418 --> 00:12:15.067
And that's the capacity that I think that we're doing more of right now.
00:12:15.248 --> 00:12:19.748
So in terms of this transformational piece, I don't think it's just happening to one person.
00:12:19.753 --> 00:12:20.227
Mm-hmm.
00:12:20.307 --> 00:12:21.587
I think that the collective.
00:12:21.768 --> 00:12:25.518
Whole is starting to have this multidimensional experience.
00:12:25.758 --> 00:12:35.118
We are starting to understand more that in order to have the full wellbeing of who we are, we need to be able to connect each level.
00:12:35.388 --> 00:12:38.118
I just had a conversation with someone this morning and we were talking about.
00:12:38.383 --> 00:12:43.822
holistic wellbeing, and I said, that's a term now that's, I think lost what the essence or meaning of that is.
00:12:43.822 --> 00:12:53.488
And I said, this weekend that I'm gonna be speaking at a positivity weekend, in the metaverse is about how we're going to look at how to connect these aspects.
00:12:53.488 --> 00:13:06.702
Because let's say, you're eating really super healthy and you're, you're looking at nutrition and you're understanding how different vitamins work and how your systems are working and all these kinds of things, and how they help you in your life.
00:13:06.832 --> 00:13:09.503
But your mindset is worried and you're fearful.
00:13:09.802 --> 00:13:21.432
There's a connection that has to be integrated there between one and the other because you can't have I'm eating, good organic food and all this living energy, and it's, supporting my physical system.
00:13:21.432 --> 00:13:24.883
But here in my head, I'm thinking like fearful thoughts all the time.
00:13:24.883 --> 00:13:26.863
I'm stressed, I'm anxious, I'm worried.
00:13:27.403 --> 00:13:28.153
Vice versa.
00:13:28.153 --> 00:13:31.423
You can be thinking all these positive, wonderful thoughts.
00:13:31.972 --> 00:13:34.613
But you're eating at fast food McDonald's every day.
00:13:34.613 --> 00:13:35.873
There's a disconnect there.
00:13:36.082 --> 00:13:53.807
So we've become really good at being experts in each of these different areas, but how to actually integrate all of them and to develop the capacities that we are actually more than what we've known ourselves to be and that it's even beyond that.
00:13:54.557 --> 00:13:55.008
Right.
00:13:55.128 --> 00:13:57.758
And the fact that you're talking about this idea.
00:13:57.758 --> 00:14:04.057
I do think it's a process that and I've had this conversation with other people who've been on the show where, let's just talk about manifestation for a second.
00:14:04.057 --> 00:14:07.582
You realize in this area, And then you're like, Hey, wait a second.
00:14:07.643 --> 00:14:10.232
It might be able to work over here too.
00:14:10.288 --> 00:14:12.538
But I think this is the same thing you're talking about though.
00:14:12.538 --> 00:14:14.177
So we look and weight is a good one.
00:14:14.227 --> 00:14:21.577
I've struggled with this and I come a from a family that likes to eat, they're not shy with food, when I start to look at am I eating right?
00:14:21.668 --> 00:14:26.057
And then on the reverse of that, holistically, when you don't eat right, then your body's tired.
00:14:26.357 --> 00:14:30.253
When your body's tired, you're mentally tired, and when you're mentally tired, it snowballs.
00:14:30.258 --> 00:14:43.753
But the same happens in reverse, when you start to eat right, you're like, something else is not lining up now because you're still trying to do half of the old behavior and part of the new behavior.
00:14:44.123 --> 00:15:02.966
And I think that there's something about that where you say that, because then we're in a disconnect because, or we go to follow somebody who we're like, oh, that person's healthy, or that person's, mentally doing well and we only take piecemeal of what that means to us and how we implement that in our life.
00:15:03.017 --> 00:15:09.371
And I think that when we talk about the opposite then people get frustrated cuz they're like, well I tried that healthy lifestyle thing, it didn't work.
00:15:09.912 --> 00:15:12.552
But they don't realize it has to be more integrated.
00:15:12.601 --> 00:15:14.072
Absolutely have to be willing to do the work.
00:15:14.072 --> 00:15:30.287
And the other part of it is when I had referred to that authenticity about, what that essence of what it is, particularly what it means authentically to you and your life is so important because, This is another part of this stage of our own evolution.
00:15:30.287 --> 00:15:46.991
So I feel like if you take the whole collective consciousness and you imagine a human being developing from an infant to, they get movement in their arms and then there's direction to where they're gonna move their hands or their feet or walk, all these things you get will forces.
00:15:47.261 --> 00:15:52.366
Then you move into here's my emotional element cause children actually evolve in this way.
00:15:52.677 --> 00:15:54.206
They begin to have this imagination.
00:15:54.206 --> 00:16:02.451
You can see it at the stages of children, an infant isn't like a three year old to five, that's really imaginative and plays creatively with what's invisible?
00:16:02.451 --> 00:16:12.756
And then they move into another phase of childhood and you keep building into, adolescence and into human being and full mature adult consciousness as a whole human evolution is the same way.
00:16:12.907 --> 00:16:19.746
So we're making these gradual steps of our own evolution in terms of how we're raising this understanding.
00:16:19.846 --> 00:16:37.017
So this piece that you mentioned right now about this authenticity is that stage that we're at where we are coming into a knowing that's not just about duplicating or replicating what someone else is saying and doing, and it's not authentic that way.
00:16:37.106 --> 00:16:55.557
They can share, everyone can share your authenticity, but now it becomes a matter of how do we go within ourself to develop the communication, the relationship, the capacities within ourselves to claim authorship.
00:16:56.292 --> 00:17:00.581
Authority in us for where we are and who we are.
00:17:01.542 --> 00:17:08.531
And that comes with a great amount of courage because we will make mistakes.
00:17:08.531 --> 00:17:10.541
That is part of the journey.
00:17:10.842 --> 00:17:15.872
We will find things that don't work and that do work, and that's part of it.
00:17:16.231 --> 00:17:31.152
But we are almost programmed in maybe previous generations or in this other, mindset that comes with those previous generations that were more about the practical, A to B, B to C, this is how we get it, this is how we do it.
00:17:31.156 --> 00:17:33.612
And if it's visible, then it must be real and proof.
00:17:34.632 --> 00:17:41.557
But now we're finding, whoa, and this is what quantum physics talks about that it's not always what's visible.
00:17:42.247 --> 00:17:56.557
There's a lot happening invisibly and a good amount of it that's storing and accumulating and gathering, and at a certain point manifests into the form because it's grounded enough to do that.
00:17:56.737 --> 00:17:59.406
And we do that by directing our energy.
00:17:59.721 --> 00:18:04.551
In those different areas and how we focus in these different ways, but it's gotta be real.
00:18:04.551 --> 00:18:10.612
It's gotta be really authentic coming from within you and giving ourselves permission to trust that enough.
00:18:10.761 --> 00:18:12.352
That's that point of evolution that we're in.
00:18:13.461 --> 00:18:14.451
That's fantastic.
00:18:14.521 --> 00:18:20.241
It reminds me, as you're talking about the real proof practical that a lot of us were raised with.
00:18:21.317 --> 00:18:22.366
You have to see it to believe it.
00:18:22.416 --> 00:18:27.727
And I had explained to me once that we turn on a light switch and the electricity works.
00:18:27.787 --> 00:18:31.807
We don't ask necessarily why it works.
00:18:31.811 --> 00:18:32.886
We trust it's gonna work.
00:18:33.007 --> 00:18:42.171
You turn the light switch on, the light works, and you trust that process without having to be the one in there physically making the energy work.
00:18:42.411 --> 00:18:59.468
And it's the same idea here where you start to trust this process of, okay, even though I can't necessarily see it, but I know that it's storing there developing me into somebody that, that I wanna be in the here and now that is more authentic, that is more grounded in this conscious world.
00:18:59.468 --> 00:19:04.182
So I love that idea especially when people are in fear, they can't see the other side of it.
00:19:04.232 --> 00:19:11.202
And when you can visualize what it could look like and not stay in the fear, you start to automatically move toward that.
00:19:11.617 --> 00:19:13.268
I did wanna talk to you because you mentioned it.
00:19:13.268 --> 00:19:19.347
You're working on this project, you have a community growing in a metaverse, which is so exciting.
00:19:19.657 --> 00:19:30.387
First of all, explain a little bit what the Metaverse is, just in case I have listeners who don't know, and then how did you figure out that it would take you into the next level of connection?
00:19:30.387 --> 00:19:31.917
How are you utilizing that?
00:19:32.458 --> 00:19:33.028
Sure.
00:19:33.448 --> 00:19:40.932
I'll share with you a simple way of being able to begin to wrap your head around what the metaverse is.
00:19:40.932 --> 00:19:48.928
So if you could imagine, and I'm sure there's some listeners out there who've already had, internet and wifi and that technology their whole life.
00:19:49.377 --> 00:19:58.208
But for those of us who were around before that became household custom, we didn't know about the internet.
00:19:58.208 --> 00:20:03.617
People talked about computers, but I'm sure everyone has seen things like, computers that look like they took up a whole room.
00:20:03.833 --> 00:20:04.788
they're so bulky.
00:20:05.268 --> 00:20:07.887
Computers, even desktop computers that were so cumbersome.
00:20:07.887 --> 00:20:10.917
I can think of even our first computer, what a big box it was.
00:20:10.917 --> 00:20:13.137
The screen itself, I thought that was a computer.
00:20:13.258 --> 00:20:15.563
So there was just a lot of pieces to that.
00:20:15.563 --> 00:20:22.103
But, the way I could compare it is if you were to look at a book and you're reading a page, it's on the page.
00:20:22.103 --> 00:20:28.167
So you're formulating all these thoughts in your mind, and then somebody took that story and made it into a movie.
00:20:28.198 --> 00:20:31.167
Now you're seeing people and now you're immersed.
00:20:31.202 --> 00:20:35.133
In a different kind of way, engaging with the story and how it's all unfolding.
00:20:36.032 --> 00:20:38.073
The same with an online website.
00:20:38.073 --> 00:20:44.702
At one point there were no online websites, and then now it's become like everybody has to have a website if you're gonna be doing a business of some kind.
00:20:44.752 --> 00:20:47.423
So websites became something that were like, that page in a book.
00:20:47.423 --> 00:20:54.792
They're still very flat, one dimensional kind of that we go into and we read the information, get our resources from that.
00:20:55.303 --> 00:21:05.262
Going into Web three and Metaverse is engaging in a way that's immersive, that you step into that experience.
00:21:05.833 --> 00:21:15.403
Now, for those of you who haven't used headsets, When you step into that kind of experience, you are literally in an avatar form.
00:21:15.403 --> 00:21:22.002
And avatars, if you aren't familiar with that, are like, I don't use Facebook anymore, but Facebook has like little cartoonish pictures.
00:21:22.002 --> 00:21:28.522
And there's emojis and bitmojis and all these kinds of little characters that people use now for their little stickers and things.
00:21:28.972 --> 00:21:36.438
When you enter that space, you're in an avatar form and you communicate with people, but you're not in your space anymore.
00:21:36.438 --> 00:21:45.347
You're in whatever space you've deemed, that you've stepped into, whether it's, let's say a mountainside or maybe it's, the woods or the Oceanside, or a building of some kind.
00:21:45.917 --> 00:22:04.593
It's really limitless in terms of where you step into and it's so immersive that you literally can, be sitting in your living room wherever on your couch, but you're actually in this form and in these kinds of headsets where you are virtually no longer in your space.
00:22:04.863 --> 00:22:22.093
That's why they have you define a little parameter that you sit inside of or that you stand inside of so that you don't, walk out of it and bump into stuff or fall over in your own house, because that happens too, because people get interactive in different, let's say the gaming industry has been using, the better verse for a long time.
00:22:22.093 --> 00:22:25.032
So people get interactive in their games and start moving.
00:22:25.038 --> 00:22:31.317
And perhaps some of you have played those kinds of games too, where your mind doesn't know that it's not in your space.
00:22:31.317 --> 00:22:36.847
Therefore, even though, if you stop to think, wait, I'm in this square space and I know I have a coffee table right here.
00:22:36.877 --> 00:22:39.637
You get up and you trip to the coffee table because you're just immersed.
00:22:39.998 --> 00:22:56.063
So that's a little of wrapping your head around it and the technology and the way it's moving is that web sites, the way we know'em today, will become obsolete as we transition into Web 3.0 and Metaverse, which is immersive.
00:22:56.512 --> 00:23:04.553
So whether it's that you're on a desktop and you're entering a more immersive experience through the desktop where you're actually entering.
00:23:04.978 --> 00:23:07.018
Fuller immersion with a headset.
00:23:07.478 --> 00:23:15.067
These are the kind of experiences that'll allow you to enter more in a more engaged way with whatever it is that's happening.
00:23:15.067 --> 00:23:18.817
So let's say you have a website and you have a retail shop online and.
00:23:19.678 --> 00:23:25.528
This experience of entering into a metaverse would be entering into a space where you're actually like in a shop.
00:23:25.887 --> 00:23:29.938
So you're not in the brick and mortar, but you're in a virtual brick and mortar.
00:23:30.327 --> 00:23:35.307
And so that's a different kind of experience, altogether, and we're all already using it.
00:23:35.357 --> 00:23:37.242
That's the thing that people don't realize.
00:23:37.452 --> 00:23:54.349
So for all you women that might be listening out there, if you've had anything on a website or online where you've tried on let's say a hair color or a lip color, or a blush or an outfit, or tried this couch in your living room space or whatever that might be.
00:23:54.799 --> 00:24:02.634
When you have those websites that let you do that kind of implementation where you use something from your space or your face, that kind of thing.
00:24:02.875 --> 00:24:07.974
You're already using an augmented reality or a mixed reality or a virtual reality.
00:24:07.974 --> 00:24:15.775
And now that tweaking of all of those different types of realities become what's called the extended reality, and that's really where the meta versus.
00:24:16.390 --> 00:24:24.230
I think entering now, apart from the fact that now it's extended out where for decades it was primarily used as gaming.
00:24:25.210 --> 00:24:34.150
The business aspect of the world as well as organizations like nonprofits have just been.
00:24:34.305 --> 00:24:37.984
Propelled into the metaverse particularly because of Covid.
00:24:38.375 --> 00:24:44.654
And that was one of the things that, happened a lot because people still wanted to connect, but couldn't find that same way.
00:24:44.654 --> 00:24:48.654
And, face it, all of us are done with the zoom boxes.
00:24:48.664 --> 00:24:56.755
All of us have had those endless meetings where there's hundreds of people or there's a few people or people engaged or disengaged and you're staring at an empty box or whatever that might be.
00:24:56.755 --> 00:25:01.815
But, I think also true to our human nature we, we get bored.
00:25:02.325 --> 00:25:07.970
We wanna be creating cuz we are creators, so we go, this is okay, this is old.
00:25:07.970 --> 00:25:09.529
It was kind of cool when it first came out.
00:25:09.529 --> 00:25:13.579
Great that it happened, but now we're ready to do something else and this is the next step to that.
00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:15.829
And just like we've seen all that.
00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:26.849
Immersion of technology, for those of you, like when you were talking about Facebook, and the first beginning and how it could just build organically and it's no longer that way because they've monetized it and become such a big thing.
00:00:00.569 --> 00:00:01.169
00:00:01.169 --> 00:00:06.719
00:00:06.809 --> 00:00:08.789
00:00:09.359 --> 00:00:13.949
00:00:14.939 --> 00:00:23.850
00:00:24.329 --> 00:00:25.769
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:30.239
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:32.070
00:00:32.100 --> 00:00:33.000
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:38.090
00:00:38.112 --> 00:00:38.832
00:00:38.883 --> 00:00:40.982
00:00:41.012 --> 00:00:47.128
00:00:47.128 --> 00:00:50.637
00:00:50.770 --> 00:00:58.515
00:00:58.515 --> 00:01:02.566
00:01:02.835 --> 00:01:12.966
00:01:13.356 --> 00:01:20.727
00:01:21.296 --> 00:01:43.141
00:01:43.462 --> 00:01:55.102
00:01:55.397 --> 00:02:02.027
00:02:02.477 --> 00:02:07.037
00:02:07.246 --> 00:02:11.312
00:02:11.379 --> 00:02:26.192
00:02:26.461 --> 00:02:28.021
00:02:28.741 --> 00:02:29.611
00:02:29.611 --> 00:02:30.812
00:02:30.812 --> 00:02:32.072
00:02:32.072 --> 00:02:34.502
00:02:35.762 --> 00:02:39.361
00:02:39.361 --> 00:03:00.292
00:03:01.167 --> 00:03:01.646
00:03:01.646 --> 00:03:08.396
00:03:08.667 --> 00:03:09.497
00:03:09.546 --> 00:03:12.667
00:03:12.667 --> 00:03:32.651
00:03:33.042 --> 00:03:40.365
00:03:41.094 --> 00:03:48.474
00:03:49.044 --> 00:03:56.020
00:03:56.349 --> 00:04:03.539
00:04:03.544 --> 00:04:05.854
00:04:06.004 --> 00:04:13.504
00:04:13.865 --> 00:04:20.644
00:04:20.644 --> 00:04:26.495
00:04:26.500 --> 00:04:29.615
00:04:29.615 --> 00:04:37.639
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:44.519
00:04:44.829 --> 00:04:46.180
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:48.790
00:04:49.384 --> 00:04:52.165
00:04:52.464 --> 00:04:59.004
00:04:59.009 --> 00:05:00.204
00:05:00.415 --> 00:05:12.355
00:05:12.654 --> 00:05:20.115
00:05:20.714 --> 00:05:22.454
00:05:23.415 --> 00:05:24.165
00:05:24.165 --> 00:05:48.274
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:50.464
00:05:50.487 --> 00:05:57.168
00:05:57.468 --> 00:06:01.749
00:06:01.749 --> 00:06:04.548
00:06:04.548 --> 00:06:07.134
00:06:07.134 --> 00:06:19.204
00:06:20.024 --> 00:06:38.584
00:06:39.173 --> 00:06:44.843
00:06:44.843 --> 00:06:46.074
00:06:46.074 --> 00:06:48.684
00:06:49.163 --> 00:06:56.624
00:06:56.863 --> 00:07:02.369
00:07:02.369 --> 00:07:08.879
00:07:09.178 --> 00:07:16.439
00:07:16.678 --> 00:07:20.968
00:07:21.434 --> 00:07:24.884
00:07:25.124 --> 00:07:37.403
00:07:37.408 --> 00:07:40.153
00:07:40.184 --> 00:07:44.923
00:07:44.983 --> 00:07:49.274
00:07:49.514 --> 00:08:00.004
00:08:00.843 --> 00:08:06.814
00:08:07.053 --> 00:08:15.829
00:08:16.329 --> 00:08:19.988
00:08:20.019 --> 00:08:31.184
00:08:31.184 --> 00:08:42.563
00:08:42.744 --> 00:09:10.614
00:09:12.198 --> 00:09:12.379
00:09:12.379 --> 00:09:16.619
00:09:16.649 --> 00:09:18.479
00:09:18.808 --> 00:09:27.548
00:09:27.609 --> 00:09:35.139
00:09:35.448 --> 00:09:37.712
00:09:39.182 --> 00:09:42.243
00:09:42.258 --> 00:09:46.577
00:09:46.628 --> 00:09:49.207
00:09:49.207 --> 00:09:58.457
00:09:58.457 --> 00:10:03.587
00:10:03.738 --> 00:10:07.528
00:10:07.528 --> 00:10:14.182
00:10:14.182 --> 00:10:18.572
00:10:18.572 --> 00:10:32.283
00:10:32.648 --> 00:10:35.908
00:10:35.937 --> 00:10:40.357
00:10:40.357 --> 00:10:44.822
00:10:44.822 --> 00:10:52.832
00:10:52.832 --> 00:10:53.942
00:10:54.317 --> 00:10:59.477
00:10:59.477 --> 00:11:08.118
