Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.This episode is part of my initiative to provide access to important court decisions  impacting employees in an easy to understand conversational format using AI.  The speakers in the episode are AI generated and frankly sound great to listen to.  Enjoy!What if the future of workplace dynamics hinges on a single legal battle? This episode unpacks the groundbreaking case of former NFL player Teyo Johnson's lawsuit against EveryRealm and its CEO, Janine Yorio, centered around allegations of sexual harassment and a controversial "KYP game." As we navigate this complex legal landscape, we highlight the transformative Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act (EFAA), which empowers employees to sidestep mandatory arbitration and take their claims to court. This pivotal shift could redefine how companies address workplace harassment, ushering in a new era of accountability and employee empowerment.We explore the significance of understanding employment contracts and the invaluable role of meticulous documentation when facing harassment or discrimination. Johnson's experience serves as a crucial reminder of the enduring importance of respect, fairness, and accountability, even in the rapidly evolving metaverse work environment. By examining how laws like Title VII and the New York City Human Rights Law are applied, this conversation sheds light on the evolving legal system that supports employees more than ever. Join us as we discuss how Johnson's case could reshape power dynamics in workplaces and encourage companies to take proactive steps against harassment.Click here to read the case decision in Teyo v. Everyrealm 22 civ 6669 (SDNY Oct. 6 2022).This episode involves the Johnson v. Everyrealm, Inc. case, where a former employee sued his employer and executives for race and pay discrimination, sexual harassment, and retaliation. The employer sought to compel arbitration based on an employment agreement, but the employee argued that the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act (EFAA) of 2021 prevented this. The court ruled that the employee's sexual harassment claims, plausibly alleging unwanted gender-based conduct in New York City, were sufficient to invoke the EFAA. Consequently, the court denied the employer's motion to compel arbitration, allowing the entire case to proceed. The court's decision hinged on interpreting the EFAA's scope to encompass the entire case, not just the sexual harassment claims.

Janine Yorio is the CEO of Everyrealm. Everyrealm has invested 4.3 million dollars into what is equivalent to a city, in a virtual world called “The Sandbox Metaverse”. She is one of the most active investors and developers in the metaverse, having invested in over 25 different metaverses, and on top of that, owning 3000 different NFTs. She joins Jay today as they talk about Everyrealm's plans for the future, how business communication may change, and how journalists often times misrepresent the metaverse. They then discuss the avenues investors should look towards if they want to get into the metaverse. They wrap up by chatting about what Janine is most looking forward to in the metaverse, and how real work processes may be implemented in the metaverse going into the future.   Follow Janine on Twitter @janineyorio, and if you are interested to learn more about Everyrealm, visit everyrealm.com.

Everyrealm is already an active developer in the metaverse ecosystem, with holdings in 25 platform portfolios, ownership of more than 3,000 NFTs, and management of more than 100 metaverse real estate projects. It began life as Republic Realm, alternative asset crowdfunding platform Republic's metaverse real estate arm. Co-founder and CEO Janine Yorio led a spin off and rebrand that now has Everyrealm positioned to build an NFT and gaming production studio, in addition to its metaverse real estate development activity. It recently closed a $60 million Series A funding round led by high-profile and seasoned players such as Andreessen Horowitz, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Dapper Labs, Coinbase Ventures, The Sandbox, Nas, Paris Hilton, and Randi Zuckerberg, among others. Yorio explains Everyrealm's strategy to become the “Netflix of the metaverse” in conversation with Metros Capital founder Nick Halaris. As Yorio notes, the core of that mission means connecting the Web3 audience with metaverse technology to make it easier for users to access content. Recorded on February 15, 2022.

The business world is abuzz with the promise – and potential dangers – of the metaverse. The space seems to have a high barrier for entry, requiring a confident working knowledge of the blockchain, crypto, and NFTs to even begin to dive in. But as a business leader, you can't ignore this rapidly-growing space, nor the potential to be a savvy early adopter.Lindsay and Carolyn speak with Janine Yorio, CEO of virtual real estate firm Republic Realm, to get a handle on what the metaverse is and why the conversation around the metaverse is unnecessarily confusing. Then, they interview Cathy Hackl, host of the Metaverse Marketing podcast and “Godmother of the Metaverse,” about balancing the ideal of decentralization with making sure the next frontier is welcoming for everybody.Find us on LinkedIn and if you're interested in joining the Chief network, apply to be a member at Chief.com.Find Janine's work at https://republicrealm.com/.Listen to Cathy's podcast Metaverse Marketing wherever you like to listen.

There's a real estate boom going on in the metaverse! They hit $500 million dollars last year, and are expected to double this year, to one billion. The uptrend took off recently when Facebook announced plans to expand into the metaverse and changed its corporate name to Meta Platforms. CNBC reports that virtual real estate sales have gone up ninefold since Facebook's announcement in October. (1) Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.According to metaverse data provider, MetaMetric Solutions, investors spent a total of $83 million in January sales alone. Analysts based their 2022 projections on that amount of spending throughout the year. But some analysts are anticipating more growth. Analytics firm BrandEssence Market Research expects the virtual real estate market to grow at a compound annual rate of 31% a year through 2028.What is the Metaverse?But what exactly is the metaverse? And why are investors buying real estate that has no corresponding plot of land on this earth? Facebook explains it like this:“The “metaverse” is a set of virtual spaces where you can create and explore with other people who aren't in the same physical space as you. You'll be able to hang out with friends, work, play, learn, shop, create and more. It's not necessarily about spending more time online – it's about making the time you do spend online more meaningful.” (2)Andrew Kiguel of the Toronto-based Tokens.com told CNBC: “You can go to the carnival, you can go to a music concert, you can go to a museum.” This activity is carried out with a cartoon-like character called an avatar that represents you in your virtual world. (3)Many celebrities have already ventured into the metaverse with their avatars, including Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, DJ Marshmello, and Paris Hilton. She threw a New Year's Eve party on her own virtual island.Real Dollars for Unreal PropertiesTo capitalize on this idea of social interaction in the metaverse, investors are paying real dollars for unreall properties in prime locations that could, some day, be worth tons of money. Maybe. Prices are going up fast right now. Kiegel says that many properties are up 4 to 500% in just the last few months.Popular Metaverse PlatformsThere are many metaverse platforms, and new ones are launching every day, but there are just four that are attracting most of the land sales right now. The “Big Four” are Sandbox, Decentraland, Cryptovoxels, and Somnium.The Sandbox is the biggest metaverse real estate platform. It has more than 166,000 parcels of land that measure 106 yards by 106 yards each. In December, they each sold for an ether equivalent of $12,700. An ether is the token used for Ethereum transactions, much like a bitcoin.Investors can use cryptocurrency to buy, develop, and sell parcels of land. Like the real world of real estate, their value can rise as they are upgraded and turned into more desirable properties. Metaverse real estate investor and advisory firm, Republic Realm, is creating 100 so-called “Fantasy Islands” with dream-like villas and amenities that include boats and jet skis. The company sold 90 of the properties for $15,000 apiece on the first day of sales, and some of the buyers are relisting them for more than $100,000.Republic Realm recently paid a record $4.3 million for land in the Sandbox. According to the Wall Street Journal, the company now owns more than 2,500 plots of virtual land in 19 different meta-worlds. It bought the $4.3 million dollar property from Atari SA.Two Ways to Buy Virtual LandThere are two ways to buy virtual land – directly from the platform or from a developer. Investors can also make changes, although it's not as easy as picking up a paint brush, because you have to change the code.Tokens.com set the previous record when it bought digital land for $2.43 million in the “fashion district” part of Decentraland. The metaverse real estate market is becoming a high-stakes investment play, although it's also highly speculative.Republic Realm's CEO Janine Yorio says it's a very risky business and you should only invest what you can afford to lose. She says: “It's highly speculative. It's also blockchain-based. And as we all know, crypto is highly volatile. But it can also be massively rewarding.”Choosing Your PropertyAs for how to choose your property, she doesn't believe that location matters. She believes that values will increase depending on what people do with the land. That's apparently because getting from one place to another is as simple as “teleporting.”But other investors follow the real world real estate rule on location. One example is a $450,000 purchase of a property in the Sandbox so the buyer could be Snoop Dog's neighbor, according to Seeking Alpha. (4)There are some who feel that metaverse land sales are a crypto ponzi scheme. Investors buy land at increasingly higher prices, but there's no underlying value because there's no limit to the amount of virtual land you can create. Metaverse skeptics say the last man out might end up with a worthless piece of virtual space.Whatever “might” happen to the value of real estate in the metaverse, it's going through a boom phase right now. And some of the biggest tech names are positioning themselves to be part of the metaverse future.Facebook is only one of those names. Seeking Alpha lists a few of those relationships. Disney is working on the creation of virtual theme parks. Microsoft plans to incorporate virtual reality into its Teams platform. Many game companies are expanding rapidly into the virtual reality space. As I mentioned previously, several celebrities have already held big events in the metaverse. And now, some very brave real estate investors are snapping up these imaginary properties.

In November, a company called Tokens.com bought 116 parcels of land for around $1.2 million. Only that land wasn't really land. The plots are located in Decentraland — a metaverse, or online virtual world. Tokens.com is one of many firms that are buying up virtual real estate in the metaverse. But, what exactly are these firms using this land for? And is it actually real estate? The Real Deal's Isabella Farr speaks to Tokens.com CEO Andrew Kiguel, as well as Janine Yorio, the CEO of metaverse investment firm Republic Realm and Michael Phillips, the President of Jamestown, which has re-created an iconic Times Square building in the metaverse.

Virtual real estate isn't something you can stomp on, but it has become wildly popular among a certain subset of people and investors.

Are virtual online worlds the future of the internet? Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg thinks so. He is among the tech leaders who say we'll increasingly live, socialise, play and shop in the metaverse. Is he right, and what is the metaverse anyway? Ed Butler speaks to venture capitalist and metaverse big-thinker Matthew Ball, and to Manuel Bronstein from Roblox - the hugely successful gaming platform where gamers already live out virtual lives through their avatars. Janine Yorio tells us why her 'virtual real estate' company Republic Realm is buying up land and property in metaverse worlds, and why the metaverse will be the future of shopping.

You wouldn't expect to have a full blown real estate development firm operating in the virtual world but here we are! The thesis of Republic Realm also makes A TON of sense. Janine Yorio & TJ Kawamura are partners running an investment fund and development team across all the key metaverses today.

Real Vision Crypto: As people are spending increasingly more time in virtual worlds (also known as the metaverse), Janine Yorio, managing director of Republic Realm, joins Real Vision's Haley Draznin to discuss an entirely new asset class that has evolved: digital real estate investment. The fund focuses on the acquisition, management, development, and sale of virtual land, known as parcels, across metaverses including Decentraland, The Sandbox, Axie Infinity, CryptoVoxels, among others. Recorded on April 21, 2021. Key Learnings: Digital real estate has the potential to deliver long-term outsized returns due to the rise of cryptocurrencies and the rapidly growing digital currency asset class. It is evolving into a viable store of wealth like real-world real estate, real-world art, and even website domain names due to its scarcity value, ability to monetize from high "foot traffic" and transferability.

The basics have changed! A plot of land that you can call your own. A couple of thousand square feet of untouched soil, trees and all, where you can let your imagination run wild. A dream come true, right? Well, sort of.  There was an interesting article on Bloomberg and it went like this -- “Investors may not be clamoring to buy offices and hotels right now, but in virtual reality, property deals are surging and attracting millions of real-life dollars." That's right folks, it's time to talk about real estate, virtual real-ity estate. Think of these as virtual worlds created by aspiring developers. If you want to create your own version of reality, you can do so by building it on a computer. It could have virtual trees, virtual apartments, virtual people and even virtual land. You could even invite other people to live and explore your world — perhaps even help you build it. And as more people flock into these digital realms, the value of virtual assets inside them will start appreciating in tandem. “Real-world real estate is very uncertain now,” Janine Yorio, head of Republic Real Estate, told Bloomberg. “Housing prices are at an all-time high. Meanwhile, offices are empty, hotels are empty. This feels insulated from a lot of those real-world risks.” “Buying land today in virtual worlds may end up feeling a lot like buying land in Manhattan in the 1750s,” Yorio said in the Bloomberg interview. “There is massive growth ahead, and now is the time to get in on the ground floor.”

On this week's show, I welcome Janine Yorio, Head of Real Estate at Republic, a private investing platform for investors seeking high growth potential. Janine shares with us how visiting constructions sites at an early age with her mom gave her the passion to get involved and how she realized that the people who own the buildings are the people who call the shots. Janine also shares with us some of her early experience and jobs such as being an analyst for an investment banking firm and what it was truly like. Finally, she shares with us how she ultimately landed in her current role and how she has always thought about the future and what is next.

Janine Yorio is head of the real estate group at Republic.  Republic is a leading alternative investment platform open to all investors and has closed over $150 million in investments in 200+ companies throughout 100 countries. Republic is backed by both strategic capital partners and traditional venture capital firms including Binance and Passport Capital. Founded in 2016, Republic is based in New York City and has 50 employees.    Quotes:  “This is a platform where people are looking to fill their bucket with alternative investments. Different people want to see different things. They don’t come to Republic looking to invest in public equities and stocks, but they do come to Republic looking for unique investment opportunities that are uncorrelated. Some of which have really high potential risk rewards that would be very difficult to find in a public market type of platform.”    Highlights:  3:40- Janine tells us about Republic, what they offer, and her background  6:54- Janine tells us about how cross-pollination in their userbase with niches and sectors  8:23- Janine explains what separates the Republic platform from the multiple other real estate crowdfunding platforms that exist today  17:50- Janine gives her viewpoint on trends and patterns in her business due to COVID  23:00- COVID impacts on different industries  Guest Website:  https://republic.co/real-estate   Learn About Investment and Partnership Opportunities with Kevin and His Team

Before we even talk about what Compound does, let me tell you about my experience. I downloaded the Compound mobile app, created an account, and reserved 10 shares of a luxury class-A condo in Miami in less than 10 minutes. Janine Yorio, Co-Founder and CEO of Compound, is paving the way to a better and more accessible future for investing in real estate. This is her second appearance on the Tech Nest podcast and we talk through some of the fantastic progress Compound has made over the last 10 months, the challenges they've overcome (hint: they're SEC compliant), and what the future holds. They're coming fresh off a rebrand and have been scoring some incredible press lately including a feature in the Wall Street Journal. Janine shares details of which cities they've acquired properties for you to invest in today and how they'll be working towards their vision of being a global company. Don't miss out on this one!

On this episode, Hall welcomes Janine Yorio of Compound Asset Management- Janine started her career in real estate right out of college working for a private equity firm called North Star Capital. While there she eventually worked her way up to portfolio manager and was able to work on all types of real estate deals from origination to exit, including some that were publicly traded. She then went on to be head of real estate development for Standard Hotels, in New York City, the development company that developed the Standard Hotel on the High Line and owned the Chateau Marmont in LA. She has always been at the intersection of real estate, financial engineering, and consumer brands. This gives her a unique perspective to bring real estate to the fin-tech landscape. In this episode, you'll hear Janine's advice to those who'd like to enter the real estate fin-tech space. According to Janine, it's an enormous sector, it's the world's largest asset class and there are lots of opportunities to disrupt the category for people who are looking to bring a new perspective to what is otherwise a very entrenched and oftentimes, reluctant-to-change industry.

What if I told you that you could start investing (soon) in Manhattan real estate—exclusively—if you wanted? You'd probably tell me that it's likely too expensive or you have no way of finding a deal that could make sense. But part of the vision Janine Yorio, CEO of Compound Asset Management, is to IPO a REIT to allow you to do just that. One thing that makes the approach of Janine and her team unique, is that they're aiming to create city specific REITs, so you can invest in your favorite city. I have a feeling you'll be seeing Janine in the news more as they plan to IPO three REITs in the next year!

Attempting to time the market is tricky. Even experts get it wrong on a regular basis.
