Launching into Web 3.0 With Your Expertise Based Business.

I was so lucky to be joined in this episode by JoAnn Holmes, an IP expert who was able to provide some amazing insights into one of the biggest tech buzzwords: Web 3.0. Even those of us who practice in IP are still learning about this new frontier, which touches on finance, connectivity, asset-building, and product creation – topics that are near and dear to professionals with expertise-based businesses looking to grow. In an accessible language with useful examples, Jo walked us through the topic, and it sparked so many ideas for me, as I hope it will for you. In this episode, you will learn:

We’ll cover:

The five tent poles of Web 3.0 and how it opens up new opportunities
The amazing potential of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs)
Key benefits, risks, and possibilities in cryptocurrency
How your business can enter the Web 3.0 space
As a bonus, Jo shares her own journey as a solopreneur and explains why timing is important when it comes to scaling your business
