The Lost Dimension - How Reconnecting with Physical Space Enhances Learning and CommunicationIn an era dominated by video calls and digital communication, we may be overlooking a critical element that enhances learning, creativity, and connection: our interaction with the physical spaces around us. This podcast explores the profound impact of three-dimensional awareness on our ability to learn, communicate, and engage with others. It delves into how the simple, tactile act of using a landline telephone in the past offered a richer, more grounded conversational experience compared to today's mobile phones and video chats.A full listing and descriptions of our episodes is available at https://cooltimelife.com. If you're interested in supporting the CoolTimeLife podcast series, visit https://www.patreon.com/steveprenticeKey Takeaways:  1. The Lost Art of Tangible Interaction: The transition from landline telephones to mobile devices and video chats has diminished the unique, focused engagement once fostered by fixed-location conversations. Reconnecting with tangible, physical surroundings can enhance communication and creativity.  2. The Value of Passive Focus: Activities such as watching an aquarium or playing sports like tennis allow the mind to relax and focus naturally, emphasizing the importance of integrating passive, manageable stimuli into modern technology-driven interactions.  3. Video Chat Limitations: Video conferencing, while convenient, often lacks the depth of connection and engagement found in in-person meetings or even traditional phone calls. This is largely due to the sterile, two-dimensional nature of video calls.  4. Importance of Shared Spaces in Communication: Physical surroundings in a shared space enrich conversations and foster creativity. Virtual environments, like Virbela, offer a promising alternative by simulating three-dimensional interaction.  5. Human Connection in Retail and Beyond: The resurgence of human cashiers and knowledgeable sales assistants in retail highlights the enduring need for personal interaction and the value of contact with three-dimensional, real-world environments.

We are extremely excited to have interviewed the creator of eXp Realty and on this episode we hear about how the home buying and selling experience is evolving and how the first ever digital brokerage is shaping the future of real estate.  A bit about Glenn:Glenn Sanford is the founder eXp Realty, CEO of eXp World Holdings, Inc. and Chief Strategy Officer for VirBELA. After being involved with a number of internet start-ups in the 1990s and early 2000s, including a stint at AOL, Glenn started a highly successful real estate career in 2002. In 2006, his fourth full year in the business, Glenn and his team closed over $60,000,000 in real estate almost entirely from online lead generation and was ranked as one of the top 50 teams nationally with Keller Williams. After the downturn in 2008, he and his team developed the first cloud-based brokerage model that uses a 3D avatar based online office to collaborate and communicate while abandoning the physical bricks and mortar infrastructure normally associated with real estate brokerage. In the last 11 years, since launching with 25 agents, eXp Realty has grown to over 87,000 agents across 24 countries.  eXp Realty refers to itself as Agent-owned and the company became a public company in 2013 and in 2014 started to distribute equity to its productive agent owners. eXp Realty provided the first ESOP style Stock Ownership Program for its agents and brokers as well as a revenue sharing program all designed to enhance the agent-centric business model.EXP is the fastest growing brokerage in history and has grown by over 11,000 agents in just the last 12 months alone.     The company saw revenues of $4.6 Billion in 2022, and was one of the few brokerages to post a significant profit in the downturn year.  eXp's market value has exceeded $3.6 Billion and, as the largest shareholder, Glenn is one of the tech worlds most recent Billionaires.  In this episode we talk with Glenn about home buyer and seller behaviours and trends that he's seeing from tracking sales from around the world.     With eXp entering its 15th year, Glenn Sanford discusses the exciting evolution of the brokerage and outlines some of the massive acquisitions they've made recently, and how these are focused on increasing agent abilities to dominate in any marketplace. Glenn talks about the role of artificial intelligence in Real Estate and if there's place for it to completely remove the need for human interaction within a real estate transaction. As with any business model that achieves this level of success, the competition has noticed and the copy-cat brokerages are starting to appear.  Glenn offers his position on the competition, and what he see's as the future for tradition brokerages.  This was a real eye opening and inspiring conversation with a true visionary and someone who has completely altered the course of Real Estate on a Global level. We hope you enjoy it too.To learn more about eXp, visit : https://expworldholdings.com _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

For educator, STEM advocate, entrepreneur and TechPlayzone Founder/CEO Deshjuana Bagley, innovation started with a question. "How can I help my sons see that science, technology, engineering and math relate to their lives--and are really cool?" Desh, a computer scientist, began researching. Ultimately, her answer culminated in the 2005 opening of her Tampa Bay-based educational program. But maybe "educational program" doesn't quite do it justice. TechPlayzone offers young students workshops in robotics, coding, engineering and design skills. Staffers either bring equipment to onsite locations to conduct classes, according to TechPlayzone's website, or teach in virtual space. This past December, TechPlayzone hosted a three-day "Winter Tech Camp" in virtual reality. Students, from second to sixth grade, built their own virtual worlds. And as an educator, Desh is making technology less intimidating for everyone. Among her many roles is that of Director at State College of Florida Coding Academy. She is also active in XR Women, and hosts professional-development workshops, through TechPlayzone, for educators, nonprofit organizations and Fortune 500 companies. Starting point: creativity In her TEDx talk, Desh explains her teaching approach to emerging technology. Today's schools, she explains, challenge students' problem-solving and critical thinking skills. But traditionally, teachers just cover the basics, when introducing new technology. Students in a more traditional educational setting learn "how it works"--and that's it. But Desh starts with a creative mindset. Students, she says, find the basics "easy". From there, she takes her young clients through the process of using that technology to create something fun. The children think they're "playing'--even as they learn critical skills for their future. Meanwhile, Desh's own creative projects include her recent Black History Month museum exhibit in virtual reality, through Virbela! Spotlighting African-American artists, computer scientists and authors, she uses VR to share aspects of history which many of us never knew. Desh talked about her experiences with TechPlayzone, shared some favorite resources for arts professionals in the STEM area, and offered an exciting look at what's next! On this edition of Over Coffee® we cover: How Desh first became engaged in computer science and robotics; The story of TechPlayzone; Desh's memories of the early days of her unique program; What she's doing to engage students in creating with technology, versus the traditional approach in which schools teach tech; How teachers can get around the "intimidation factor" and make technology work in their curricula; What can work best for educators in arts disciplines; Some of the digital resources that can be most helpful in the arts; A closer look at the classes offered at State College of Florida' Coding Academy (these are available online!); Desh's experiences creating her Black History Month exhibit in Virbela (the exhibit is still available, as of April--be sure to check it out!); A project which she hosted in VR that turned out to be an amazing experience; Another technology program which allowed her students to create their own virtual worlds; Desh's vision for the future of TechPlayzone, and an exciting upcoming project; Her favorite resources for artists who'd like to start creating in XR; Desh's advice to arts students, in preparing for the new jobs which will result from current advances in robotics.

O #metaverso é a Internet do futuro, a próxima fronteira computacional. Disruptivo, o ambiente virtual do metaverso vai trazer novos contornos à comunicação humana, ao aproximar cada vez mais o mundo físico do digital. Um novo universo nas inovações tecnológicas será criado a partir de tecnologias diversas, como realidade virtual, aumentada, experiências imersivas, redes sociais e criptomoedas. O metaverso corporativo será o principal mercado da tecnologia neste ano. O universo digital amplia as possibilidades de treinamentos, conferências e trabalho colaborativo, além de otimizar processos. As empresas atentas a essa tendência já estão se preparando para garantir uma fatia desse setor que valerá 800 bilhões de dólares nos próximos dois anos, segundo a Bloomberg. Ficar de fora não será uma tarefa fácil, a previsão é que o metaverso se torne a nova Internet. Não é à toa que os CEOs das big techs estão na disputa pela liderança do mercado. Ou seja, é preciso acompanhar o ritmo, aprender sobre a tecnologia e entender como ela pode ser útil para a sua organização. Para auxiliar você nessa jornada, o Arena de Ideias recebe Alexandre Calil, membro fundador e diretor administrativo da XRBR, e Neal Fleming, Enterprise Advisor da Virbela, uma das primeiras plataformas de metaverso do mundo, representada pela Oficina Consultoria no Brasil. Apresentado por Patrícia Marins, sócia-diretora da Oficina, o webinar também está disponível no YouTube (com tradução simultânea) e Linkedin.

Dai Måneskin fino alle vittorie sportive agli Europei e alle Olimpiadi, dal dibattito sul green pass ai commenti sui principali film della stagione, gli italiani si sono ritrovati su Twitter per scoprire e commentare gli ultimi aggiornamenti in diretta. Il tweet che ha ricevuto più like e retweet da parte degli italiani è stato quello di Fedez in occasione della sua partecipazione al Concerto del Primo Maggio Rai. WhatsApp testa Novi. Ad annunciarlo è Stephane Kasriel, direttore dell'unità crypto e fintech di Meta. Ha spiegato che l'app di messaggistica ha iniziato a testare le transazioni tramite il wallet Novi, per ora su un “numero limitato di persone” negli USA. La funzionalità permetterà agli utenti di inviare e ricevere denaro su WhatsApp “istantaneamente e senza commissioni”. Oggi sposi, nel metaverso. La coppia si era conosciuta sotto forma di avatar durante un evento virtuale e ha celebrato il proprio matrimonio negli ambienti virtuali della società Virbela, che ha ricreato l'esperienza del matrimonio dal vivo con personaggi progettati appositamente per il giorno delle nozze.

Is iBuying still a thing? This week the team talks about the aftermath of Zillow leaving the iBuyer arena. The discussion begins with a bit about the Metaverse … the FaceBook “World.” Our first thoughts were of EXP, and that Microsoft started their own “Metaverse.” Will EXP world be the “world” people want to be in? With EXP the world is a software they license, you have to wonder how much the value of the world is tied up in their valuation. They started using the virtual world software from Virbela and eventually bought it, and maybe they'll license it out beyond real estate, who knows, it'll be interesting to see. What kinds of things are going to become the new norm, like Zoom has in the past year or so. A year and a half ago you couldn't use it because no one on the other end could manage to either technically get it working or be comfortable talking to a screen. Will iBuyers be it, will every consumer think about asking for a cash offer rather than talk to a listing agent? If the market softens there are those who believe the iBuyers will do even better. Much of it boils down to people not having any patience. iBuying will continue because there's a ton of friction in the home buying process and that is THE problem iBuyers solve. We'll see iBuyig continue to be strong going forward, the markets aren't going to come crashing down around them. Let's define some terms - there is power buying, bridge buying, iBuying, FINTECH, PROPTECH and others … all the different strategies that people use to buy and sell, these terms are thrown around with out many people know what they really are. They are just structured sales, financial instruments, like a mortgage that allow people to buy. They are all similar in that they are simply ways for someone to unlock their equity so they can identify and at some point in the process move into their new home. Over time agents are going to lose market share to the companies that are providing these instruments that are not branded to the agent. They are “Zillowing” agents, they are convincing agents that bringing their clients into the system with them is the way to go, in the short term they may get more deals, but eventually they will begin to chip away at market share. When it comes time for the client to transact next, they think oh, we used Knock for the buy, so lets call them and get our agent moving, then the company just pushes the agent aside because they don't work for them. All of these companies are data companies first, these companies, if they are not already, will eventually be direct to consumer and sooner or later that are gigot to ask themselves how can we become more profitable and return more money to our investors? The answer is simple … Cut out the agents.

Alex Howland is not a software developer, he's not particularly interested in gaming, and his background in tech is, well, nonexistent. So how then did Alex find himself co-founding Virbela and working on the cutting edge of virtual reality? On this episode of Future of Tech we'll find out as Alex takes us through his journey from organizational psychologist into the tech world, and he'll let us in on the secrets of how experiential learning is playing a role in what the future of virtual reality will look like. So what will it look like? Will we all be wearing VR headsets in the years to come? Alex has the answers and the explanations. He talks about the rise of gamified VR and how it's being used in military settings to train soldiers, and he dives into how virtual worlds and experiences are now being used across enterprise companies and in the education system to bring a sense of togetherness to an increasingly work-from-home focused world. Enjoy this episode!  Main Takeaways:   Virtual Water Cooler: With the rise of remote work, people are still craving some of the old features of the in-person office experience. Virtual workspaces are being created to simulate those water-cooler-type moments and give people a way to connect in meaningful ways even without being together in person. Beyond The Hype: A few years ago, the hype around VR was at a fever pitch, and the anticipation surrounding the technology becoming ubiquitous was palpable. That didn't happen as quickly as everyone expected, but the VR industry has been making steady steps forward. Rather than get hopped up on the hype cycle, companies that have taken a slow and steady approach to developing their VR technology have been more successful than those that turned out to just be flashes in the pan. Physical Things, Virtual World: The future of VR will be built on how companies can sell or recreate physical things in a virtual world. Certain companies are already doing this, particularly in real estate, where VR walk-throughs are being used to sell real, physical properties all over the world.   --- Future of Tech is brought to you by Amdocs Tech.

EXPI has centralized administration and no physical offices. It's all done in a virtual world created by Virbela (now owned by EXPI). No physical offices and centralized administration cut significant costs. EXPI passes those savings to the agent. Another contributing factor is agent acquisition cost. Competitors like Compass pay top dollar to sign top producing agents. EXPI pays zero upfront! Not only is zero capex growth good for EXPI, it's good for the agent. Getting a windfall of money generally leads to what Bono, singer of U2, called “Moving House” EXPI Is Not A Pyramid Scheme or Illegal MLM According to the FTC, a pyramid scheme “compels individuals who wish to join to make a payment.” Yes, eXp compels individuals who wish to join to make a $149 start up fee. Afterwards, eXp compels agents to pay $85/ month to use their platform. But does that mean they are a pyramid scheme? I mean Costco compels individuals who wish to join to make a $60 or $120 payment (which is paid yearly). Is Costco a pyramid scheme? No. That membership fee subsidizes Costco's pricing. The fee incentivizes members to be repeat customers. There is value in that payment. There is value in EXPI's payment as well. One has access to kvCORE CRM, which normally costs individual agents $300-499/month. Website creation is included. Automated call/text/email is included. And an extraordinary amount of educational content is available 24/7, unlike brick and mortar brokerages. But accusers then point out that eXp “promises its new members a share of the money taken from every additional member that they recruit”. That is a sure sign this is a pyramid scheme, right? By itself, no. eXp does promise its members a share of the money generated by each additional member that they recruit. The “down line” goes 7 levels. But the agent has to perform (close sales) to get money to go up stream. That caps at $8k/agent/yr, so exp paying out up to ½ its commission split. That brings me to my next point: pyramid schemes seldom involve sales of products or services with value. Real estate agents have been providing a useful service for over 100 years. Home sales is a tricky process. Homes are most people's biggest asset. The experience is so infrequent for most, that people can't build the domain expertise to do it themselves. So help IS needed. The people working for pyramid schemes try to promote the actual company instead of the product they are selling. Sure, there are people in eXp that focus solely on recruiting. But it's a small fraction. And for anything to happen upstream, real estate transactions with the PUBLIC need to happen. Think of it like this: a run-of-the-mill pyramid scheme is based on the number of people recruited and sales directly to the RECRUITED. Nothing is sold directly to the agent in EXPI. Money generated is based on transactions of sales with the PUBLIC. Lastly, the vast majority in a pyramid scheme lose money. With EXPI, that is the opposite. Everyone makes more money than they did with previous brokers almost unanimously because of better splits.

“We thought combining everything into one contract would provide the flexibility the financial markets would look for in order to help finance the project.” – David Long, deputy director of aviation overseeing properties and commercial development.  The city of Kansas City is moving forward with plans for the concessions program inside the new terminal at Kansas City International Airport (MCI). An RFP will be on the street in mid-January. Whether it results in a single operator running the entire program or a dozen operators splitting the space, the proposal will result in a single contract that city officials think will be more palatable to financial markets offering support. The city and its consultant, ICF, will host a virtual meeting on January 12 and 13 through the virtual reality platform Virbela, where bidders can learn more.

Avid listeners will have noticed a few weeks without a podcast - that's because Alan's been hard at work behind-the-scenes building capital for several MetaVRse projects, including the MetaVRse Engine. This gave Alan a chance to reflect on the investment landscape of 2020, and is joined by VP of Marketing Alex Colgan to discuss the new normal that COVID has ushered into the VC world. Alan: Welcome to the XR for Business podcast with your host, Alan Smithson. Today, we have a very special episode. We're going to be talking about the investment landscape of virtual and augmented reality as it pertains to investment in startups, companies going public. What is the investment landscape look like between now and the next few years? How are things going to be funded and what can we expect from the markets in terms of returns? And what can investors really count on to drive those returns as high as possible? Today, I'm joined by the MetaVRse VP of Marketing, our wonderful Alex Colgan. He's going to be joining me today and he's going to be interviewing *me* today. Alex: Hey. Alan: Hey, what's up, Alex? Fun fact about Alex: he also lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Or near Halifax. He's in the eastern part of Canada. So, Alex, thanks for joining me on the show today. Alex: Canadian born and bred. Glad to be taking over the reins today. Thanks for having me on. And, yeah, let's flip it around. Alan: It's really interesting, Alex, before we get started I have to really just punctuate a couple of things. Over the last few years, there has been an enormous amount of capital invested into virtual and augmented reality startups, in the hundreds of millions, billions of dollars. And it almost feels like we are going through this kind of winter, where investments have dried up in the area. So I'm really excited to talk about that, because I believe that as much as we're going into physical winter in Canada, I believe that we're going into a beautiful spring with regards to the investment landscape of this technology. So I'm really excited to dig into it today. Alex: Yeah, absolutely. Bad economies are often some of the best times to invest, and there are also some of the best times to build a startup. COVID has had everybody scrambling over the past six months, and trying to identify the best path forward for the future. As a result of that, we've seen a lot of different sectors have been getting shaken up as a result. What are some of the biggest disruptions that we've seen over the past six months in some of these areas? Alan: Well, I think the major one is that with regards to investment, everybody just closed their wallets. COVID came and people went, "OK, there's so much uncertainty, just stop everything." And so pretty much all investment across all sectors dried up in March, and basically hasn't really come back until you were starting to see funding rounds happen now in September. And I believe this will continue October-November. Now we find ourselves in a time where there's actually a lot of fresh capital sitting on the sidelines that needs to be deployed. And if it's not deployed, it's losing money. So you have a ton of new startups on the market as well. We have a platform called xrcollaboration.com, and there's been over 70 startups that have created XR collaboration tools that allow you to go in VR, go into AR glasses, and communicate with people around the world. And not only if you have the VR and AR glasses, but there's new opportunities around using 2D screens like computers to navigate these 3D worlds, almost like Second Life, but kind of Second Life 2.0, if you would. And this is giving a huge opportunity for investors. There's a company called VirBELA and they have done really well. Their ma
