#39 Meta's Fares Akkad on the metaverse and the creator economy

If you’re a business, you may be considering a presence in the metaverse or might be building apps for the metaverse. The metaverse is all about a heightened experience and total immersion.

I speak to Meta’s Regional Director for MENA, Fares Akkad about Meta’s $10Bn push into the metaverse and what it would mean for us to have both physical and virtual lives.

We also discuss the creator economy and the opportunity it has unleashed. Anyone with a social media account can publish content today. What does that mean for creators and for businesses?
