morning let's see how this is gonna go let's see of Twitter let me stay on here
today I hope so looks like everybody's having a good time and yeah there we go
cool it looks like we are broadcasting around the globe today how awesome is
that I mean come on look at that that says that's super sweet thank you
Metaverse radio for all that you do for us and how you've been connecting us
with the global audience this is this is too cool I love it I'm excited so all that
said let's talk about South by Southwest as people start to possibly roll in here
we started a little bit earlier today so we may not have as big of an audience
but we've got big things to share right big big things to share so I'm gonna go
down my list of thank yous and just all the fun and incredible things that we're
gonna be talking about today but first again as always Metaverse radio thank
you so much for the time the opportunity for broadcasting with around
the globe on smart devices everywhere this is amazing it's beautiful it's been
so much fun learning how to use these tools with you and and helping me grow
the audience and the region so that everyone can start to get into this new
technology this spatial computing the XR the AR the VR the AI all of the
incredible things that so many people have been working on the past few years
and it's now here so let me say Apple Vision Pro has hit the United States and
it hit with a bang I mean we've had people there's videos going around the
internet right now where people are driving their car right with their AVP
on and there's one I saw I believe Charlie Fink shared it out Robert
Scoble shared it out where this guy's driving his car down he's got a Tesla
okay so not only is he hands-free not on the wheel driving his Tesla down the
road but he's got his AVP on and he's just going to town just playing in the
in the spatial world right spatial awareness is going to be a hot topic I
see that coming if people haven't already started using that term it's
gonna take on its original meaning but in a whole new way right spatial
awareness knowing what's going on around you at all times right as a military man
spatial awareness was a term I might have heard once or twice and it was
about you know knowing and being being there being in the moment being present
with what's happening so but that said the guy driving his car at the end of
the video you see there's a there's like two police cars that are behind him okay
so and he's pulled over in a parking lot I'm not sure how it all went down I did
not get to see all the captured highlights afterwards the video kind of
ends there but it's with him driving his car and then he's pulled over in a
parking lot so if you do have the new Apple Vision Pro and you are like
incredibly excited about it please be smart have spatial awareness use it you
use it wisely right you know there's there's some other videos where people
are now walking around the streets with their AVPs on totally cool I'm down with
it you know go get your ski goggles walk around it's that time of year it's
still cold enough where it kind of makes sense I'm I'm not sure how summer is
gonna feel especially down here in Texas it does get a little bit hot and you know
but but that doesn't mean that people won't do it right so that said AVP has
hit the markets with a bang people started picking them up yesterday
there's gonna be people picking them up today tomorrow all throughout the month
I mean they've got orders just that are gonna be flowing in I don't see them
stopping anytime soon good morning honeycomb hydro if you want to join us
up on the stage you are more than welcome this is a recorded show and it
is live broadcast and it is going smooth and we are we are heard around the world
on smart devices everywhere so if you do want to jump up here this is a place
that again it is recorded it is monitored and it is broadcast around the
whole world so thank you Metaverse Radio for these opportunities we will be
jumping into the South by Southwest things here pretty soon I was just kind
of covering the Apple Vision Pro stuff you know because that's the hot topic of
the weekend I just you know at least here in the United States I know they
haven't reached outside of the United States I can't remember exactly when
they're supposed to start releasing outside the United States but right now
that's what's happening so good morning good afternoon honeycomb hydro wherever
you are in the world welcome to the stage my growing friend hey good morning
man down he started up early but I was listening to this app on my phone called
Metaverse Radio and then I heard your voice and I said shit he started early
and now I'm here and there at the same time it's like I remember growing up
okay now this is this is way back in the day of where you called if you wanted to
like listen to a song you know you called into the radio station and they
hope they played it kind of thing but I remember calling into the stations and
then hoping you know if you if you could be cool right if you could be cool on
the phone call not just like hey can you play the song but you know like be cool
on the call like hey my friends and I are all here we want to hear this yeah
you know and then like you go and you have the cassette tape that's like ready
to record okay this is this was the thing that we gave we would have it we
have it set ready to record because one we wanted to record our song but two we
really just wanted to record ourselves on the radio and then here we are today
I'm I'm so many more years older and I'm on the radio again right how cool is
that I went from I went from being sonic live radios DJ many moons ago so now
I'm on metaverse radio which is global I went from coast to coast to global
this is so cool thank you metaverse radio for this opportunity to reach so
many people and to have this opportunity so yeah I'm it's it's cool and the
metaverse it's all built on the blockchain think about that for a minute
like this is all still tied in to this web 3 thing which again it's like that's
a whole another level in its own we could I could ramble about that for
hours actually I would need Ian in here to ramble about that for hours we would
need a monster vision in here to go for hours he's got some knowledge he's got
that deep like understanding of some things so let's go ahead I did start
earlier today normally we do start 30 minutes from now but today we have a
special thing going and I wanted to give myself time to to really announce
some special things okay because there's there's not lots of special things but
lots of special things so some of these special things are right after this I
will be going I will be a guest on web 3 warriors for the very first time I'm
I'm very excited they have this will be their 90 second episode that they are
doing and so I get to be inside of the first hundred episodes which is very
exciting I have been following them for quite a few years and they asked me you
know at the beginning of January they said hey you want to come on and we want
to give you a spot I said that would be been freaking tastic right so I get to
go on there and I really because most of what I do is with other people and I do
very few things alone and so this is a super exciting moment because I I was
looking through when I was getting prepared for to go on there you know I
was grabbing videos and pictures and things like that so that they could use
and as I was going through there I was looking it was like going through a
memory photo album right you know just looking at all all of the things that
other people have done that I've had the opportunity to be a part of and there's
people like Apollo here who who have these Metabot Apes and I haven't been
around for their entire life's journey right it's only been for a couple years
few years however many years it's been and but being able to see the Metabot
Apes and the banana guns and some of these projects grow and I'm gonna really
highlight some of where the heart and the passion that that these people had
even before they got into this so where they were teaching art to people and
giving a place of not just mentorship but a place of comfort for kids to have a
place to go and and let them and release themselves in an organic and
healthy way so and that's really and they still carry that same passion with
them even into this web 3 journey so watching some of these things really
develop and and take flight I saw it today that now they haven't met about a
inside a nifty island okay so not only were these things like a dream at one
time where it was like hey you know here's these this amazing art and you
can tell by their PFP here like it's super detailed but they were able to
take all of that and go into the metaverse a little bit deeper right so
now people can run around as these Metabot Apes there's more utility and
all of these things it's just it's very exciting and yeah I'm just it's there's
so many people and so many projects that we've been able to be a part of and
and I get to highlight some of those things on my three boy years today but
before we get to that South by Southwest like come on now if it's I've been I've
been talking about it for the last month but South by Southwest okay those
of you that don't know it's one of the longest running biggest event
conferences festivals that's that that in the world it's been going on since
1987 where it started is just some music people saying hey let's get together and
just have our own thing and it's grown into now it's a week and a half almost
two weeks long where it starts with the education not just industry but like
people that write the rules they write the laws the legislations they come
together they say this is what we want and then it goes from education to
technology film music and it all blends together actually it actually all comes
together it's not just separate things they the way that they bring it together
is so natural right because all of these tools get used together music
movies education tech when you blend those together you get you get your life
like what do you do in your everyday life anyways well most of us learn
something new we watch some sort of movie maybe even to learn that thing new
we use the technology that's how we watched the movie and inside of that
movie there was some music there were sounds there were volumes that that
moved you right and so that said South by Southwest brings all that together
this year the the motto the theme is take a look if you look into the future
right something something along those lines and if I botched it up I
apologize South by but it's looking to the future and yeah and I'm super
excited because that it's so fitting for the theme of spatial computing AR XR AI
and all of the things that are happening around the world today honeycomb hydro
you have been a part of kind of bringing some things together for South by if you
want to to share anything at all or any part of your because you do things as
well outside of just hanging out in my spaces so if you want to share who you
are what you do how you're involved in some sort of things by all means this
deploys yours no absolutely I appreciate it yeah it's still working on

it's unbelievable of what's here now and the impact we get to make so it's using
the you know these amazing events like South by Southwest what you got going
with I wear art walk and just so many unbelievable tech people and purposes
that all get to be fulfilled that you know we're raising awareness on the
power of a vote during the presidential election campaign and simultaneously
the power of the plant so we're looking forward to utilizing technology to
implement edutainment and got so many things it's it's unbelievable of what's
going on so we'll be releasing the campaign through seed the change is what
the initiatives name is seed the change dot live gives you a general breakdown
of what we're going to be doing it does consist of three grow-offs as well it's
technically a community cultivation challenge and we're going to be raising
awareness to problems by offering and providing the solutions to those
problems so they don't exist and staying highly medicated along the way so
unbelievable love you that's all I gotta say I love the your the focus on you

that's that's what it's really about and and you're you're focused their focus
the whole purpose of this is for the health of the overall everyone and in
making sure these things really happen I see stilo came into the room David came
into the room David is the founder the host of the web3 warrior show so it's a
great honor to have them in today I want to say real quick Rick I'm not
probably do this every 15 20 30 minutes or so because I'm so thankful for
metaverse radio and allowing us the opportunity to broadcast this show
global we've been doing it we've been partnered with them throughout the month
of January then and really pushing the limit of how this thing can work and in
today it sounds like it's going very smooth we have listeners globally so
that is a huge thing they're not necessarily inside the Twitter space but
they're listening to any smart device this is a live recorded broadcast
everywhere around the globe so thank you for those that do grab a mic that do
share out their story that have been here through the whole time stilo and I
have been going together for I want to say a few years you know I know that
we're not always like in the same groups right but we have definite but we're in
the same groups right and I've had the wonderful opportunity to watch him grow
as well like he's been doing things in spatial with the dope stilo club
bringing in artists into the metaverse every stinking week okay and that's it
sounds easy it sounds like okay so you brought artists into the metaverse every
week no it's not there's no way that it's just that easy he puts on a great
show really giving them not just an opportunity to be there but giving them
an audience as well which is a whole different thing than just letting
someone play a video in the metaverse stilo how you been how many episodes
before I I want you to let people know who you are and what you do and all
those things but real quick how many episodes how many shows because they're
not just episodes they're like shows it's like if I was gonna go to a real
life venue in my real world I wouldn't go oh I'm gonna go catch the episode at
the theater no show how many shows have you organized at this point do you know
yo what's up uh yeah probably I mean we've done like the weekly metaverse
concert like it's a hundred and eight weeks now so like next week will be 109
the big hundred was really crazy it was great seeing me there yeah my name is
stilo good morning from California I'm just waking up right now wanted to like
come in chat always super interested in tech and South by Southwest shout out to
my homegirl LM designs honey comb hydro and David and everybody in the room but
yeah thank you I just want to come in support say hello hang out on this
beautiful Saturday morning and yeah we've been doing the concert it's been a
blast you know in the first bit in the first like half I kind of focused on
bringing a lot of artists together and then yeah and then in the second half
I've just kind of been focused on me and it's been really really helpful to be in
the metaverse like doing a show every week like you get to play your music in
so many different ways is it cool if my avatar has a microphone is it cool if
I'm on the green screen on a live stream is it cool like what brings out the most
like out of people and most feelings out of like a virtual concert you know so
that's kind of my thing so thanks for having me
yo it's it's really been super cool that I remember you did you did the fashion show with
the ready player me avatar it's when you dropped the the dope solo gear with ready player me
and that was that was kind of a blast because I had fun for different reasons I'm gonna be
very honest there was the fashion show was intense like I mean how you had everybody walk out
from the back you know so like they came around it was just like a fashion show we all had the
seats lined up you know and everybody's just sitting there chilling taking pictures
and and there's snapshots and stuff and you know boom here comes the here comes who was it was it
I see comes out you know and here comes Stilo coming out the vibes were going you had the music
going just right you know somebody was actually DJing it was like a live show yeah I can't believe
you remember that yeah that was amazing I was so stoked the ready uh ready player me I dropped like
a wearable with them because they got really lucky at NFT NYC and like got to meet them and hang out
with them and um yeah basically we the the the wearable dropped and so it was available to be
like downloaded and so we we like got a warehouse that day um eda x lab she like donated a warehouse
and then shoot and then we like set up chairs and everything we set up a backstage and there
was like a tv backstage so the avatars could see when it was their time to go out so and then like
it was really really cool it was really cute and so like we'd all walk down the aisle go outside of
the warehouse and walk outside and back to the backstage and there's windows in the warehouse
so you could kind of see the other models like walking through doing their line and there was
someone performing on a green screen while the performers were going on and I was hosting and
kind of like introducing each model as uh as an artist really it's cool
it was cool like there was there were so many reasons that it was cool uh one of my one of
the things that I did in it because sometimes I jump into these metaverse worlds not as myself
okay um I jump in as just a an onlooker okay because because sometimes I want to just take
the pictures I want to just be a part and and and have that that first timers type experience
okay and and I found that if I go in not as my name or not as you know where nobody knows you
um and so that time uh I jumped in as as a lady in the metaverse okay and I saw altered alley
right and so I just started like following altered alley everywhere he was going and he
was trying to like run away from me which was pretty funny in the metaverse because he's like
what is going on and so I'm snapping all these snapshots of like altered like running away like
going to the back and then you're going into the crowd like trying to get in between people so
that there's not this crazy lady stalking him through the metaverse um yeah it was good times
and and because of you they they were able to happen it really has been a lot of fun watching
all the partnerships that you've had throughout the years you did the shilly drop which was really
cool um I'm a punk rock music fan so having that be a thing you know it's uh that was fun to see
how that's actually starting to to grab hold into the metaverse so thank you metaverse radio
for giving us the opportunity to be live because now now more people can know about a steelo they
can know to follow steelo they can know to look up dope steelo club I'm sure if you google it
you'll find steelo right um so now people can know if they want to experience these
metaverses for themselves they can hop into the near hub at metaverse radio right metaverse
radio studio if you want to go in there you'll see it up on the screen you'll hear the live
streaming that's going on 24 7 on their radio broadcast you can also find more information
about all these lovely people because most of us live in this spatial computing world right
which is really sinking exciting you name dropped lm because she isn't here and she is a huge part
of what's happening at south by southwest this year I wish she would grab mic maybe
maybe we can kind of get her to you know we can we can uh peer pressure her into speaking
and sharing part of her story today because she has been doing things as well in this web three
spatial computing world and it's she's one of the most purest people I know she does things because
she wants to because she has the heart to do it not because you know I mean I'm sure if there
was money in it she would not be mad but her heart is in what she's doing if they she's not
she would rather not do something because her heart's not in it than do something because the
money is so big I have that I don't know that for a fact but I know that just like by spending time
with her that she would rather keep her heart in it than sell her heart for the cash lm thank you
so much for grabbing a mic today and and how are you this beautiful morning hello you beautiful
souls currently I am a mommy couch so hello hexadeyes stillo honeycomb maximilian apollo
david hash s x s w how are you beautiful souls I am doing so well and excited to be here
with you beauties hey present we're super glad to have you I like how you start it is an early
morning show and and I kind of feel bad a little bit for having it early morning but since most
of what we talk about on this Saturday morning show is like the events and the festivals and
the things that are happening it's uh I kind of like this tradition of being so early because
now when we do get down to South by right I'm not having to change up my times because I can
still do the show in the morning be like this is what we got going on today I hope you don't miss
it get out and play I'll see you in the streets you know or like when people are at Coachella
or they are at Lollapalooza or Rolling Loud or wherever they are they we can still do this
right and still meet up in the mornings and then let people know what they're about to miss on
throughout the rest of the day and to watch the profiles as they roll out so you don't have to
speak I might share some things for you but people can go and get on your twitter they can follow
your accounts on instagram as well lmdesigns8 I'm sure if you google it you will find lmdesigns8
and all of her channels everywhere but she's been making here over the past what the past
couple months I want to say you've been going ham on the eighth wall stuff bringing in some
beast right there there's a kid called beast from the eighth bit to the full bit yeah doing the most
um I've been turning assets into beautiful beautiful beyond what they are from gold to
platinum gold since I realized that this was a way and this was a thing my goodness watching
what you all have created and over the reality inspired me to say okay let's take all that we're
building in every single place make it that because interoperability starts with us so if
I can create this experiences using different platforms and different mediums in the same
facets how far can I push that so definitely bringing my meditative spaces to spatial
to over the reality building out different aspects of it through eighth wall so that people
can experience it has been such a joy for me and you are so right you are 110 percent right
my heart goes where it is called and it is not tied to the money because oh if it was I'd be a
rich wealthy wealthy person but I am rich in the things that are not the dollar bill I am rich
in you all's inspirations and energies and then I can take that refuel it and send it back into
the universe the way that I do dripped with all of my wonder so I'm so thankful to be inspired and
uplifted and encouraged by y'all to keep pushing keep sharing because oh y'all just give me ideas
and I'm like let me try a thing let me make this work so thank you so I I'm glad that you that
you're getting inspired because the more you get inspired the more I get inspired it's like
it's like this whole it's like we're a community of people around the globe that just like keep
pushing each other to do things and it's so that that's the joy of this right that is the that is
the whole purpose of this is to and not just not go oh you didn't do it right all the time
but like whoa that's cool let me see if I can make it better and then not get jealous when
somebody does make it better but use that as the encouragement as that fire to go oh
let's keep going let's see if we can keep making these things better right that part
it's like when I first went to my first stilo concert my gosh I was like the people they hear
they exist and stilo from day one on encourages each and every person who enters and experiences
go do more we're letting you know we're here and that is so beautiful so freeing it allows us to
unlock the things within us that we were like oh no one cares about this it was like yeah we do
you better say it with your whole self and then you have creations from Apollo that you're like
I am going to learn the thing so I can do this magic and share out these phenomenal assets
and don't get me started on the midi punks and prism and what songs is doing

like you know scheduled guests I'm like but then I mean that's cool and I'm all for it I do like
having some sort of you know uh more uh themed type saying okay uh but one of the things that

saw it crash all the way down you know and then and you're still here right you're still here
with us you haven't completely left right you've been doing things in the metaverse you've been
doing some things in the real world you've been doing like and now you're joining us at south by
southwest as well you're bringing you've got some virtual lands the digital worlds that you're
bringing in that you're helping people and giving people the opportunity to you so good morning good
afternoon welcome to the stage it's open mic day yes and I'm just you know grinding this uh sand out
of my eyes uh here on the west coast uh sorry if I got in late I thought it was going to be
starting at your 11 o'clock what time did it actually start so today today we did it open up
early um it normally starts at 11 a.m on the east coast 10 a.m in a central time 8 a.m on the west
coast right but but I have the amazing opportunity to be a guest on web3 warriors today so
I wanted to make sure that we had time to kind of highlight some of the amazing things that we've
got going on because it's the beginning of February south by southwest is right around the corner
I wanted everybody to know who's gonna be there yeah what's happening right I'm so excited for it
too because uh just you know I've been really wanting to spend more time with you in all these
different projects that uh at least you know the conversations that you've been having you know
every Tuesday and Wednesday mornings and of course Saturdays too which this is my first time in this
um and you know like you said I've been spending a lot of time in this space I got in
march of 21 I came in through this thing called grow your base uh it was a NFT curation site and
then I got hooked in with the music scene because you know I I'd been composing really hard uh you
know at 2019 um right after my dad died I mean I just totally shifted to
I've got to do this because this has been my lifelong passion because I was yeah I made that
turn when I was given the ultimatum okay either music or we pay for your college I was the guy
that went okay dad okay mom I'm gonna go college became a network engineer project manager
telecom infrastructure and uh a whole lot of stuff in uh in technology and so when I came in
uh it was a natural uh you know call it uh gearheadedness of uh you know blockchain but also
being a musician you know guitarist all over effects pedals you can just imagine how much time
I you know uh flip bets you can say and coming in I met a phenomenal guy by the name of
Tim Ellis uh he's the uh partner of campus jacks uh it's a jazz club in uh Newport Beach, California
and through him and a number of other people in the space I wound up getting my music into some NFTs
uh getting into some great projects including um with meta rides uh their pit passes all have
my music on it and uh I've just been stuck in my head about getting my own stuff out but I've
helped so many other people with NFT Music Hall had 40 guests there um I mean that's been an
experience all in voxels and I've picked up a bunch of properties in hyper-fi up street uh
on cyber of course going a little nutso in uh nifty islands and now really just jonesing on um
you know I've followed you in OVR but have you know been tentative jumping into that but uh
last week or the week before uh you talking about spheroid I just went ahead and grabbed
some properties I've got two outside and two inside uh at the South by Southwest site and
between you, Tim, myself, some other partners and now this conversation I am really excited to
finally make that turn into AR and hopefully taking some of my experience from
the metaverse uh 2D into 3D just really you know letting the passion of of this group and other
people just uh you know so I can marinate in in getting things done I mean it's really hard for
me to to focus these days and so you know this is the the month that has uh just you know I'm
gonna pivot from going to uh NFT NYC and go all in on uh South by Southwest it's a really good fit on
I'm working on uh doing sync licensing so I'm not a performer per se but I'm a composer and so
that's where my music side is these days so there that that is that I love the journey and I love
how it you know you you said that you know you you were the guy that you know your parents said
college or music right and you were like okay you know if you're gonna pay for this one then I guess
I'm gonna go do that thing and and you chose a field that now today um inside of where we are
with technology you know with the way that we communicate you can be a viable asset or other
artists you know to to understand you do understand some things that maybe that young kid artist is
like he's doing the music she's doing the music right they can have someone like you that understands
the communicative tech side along with that artist's heart and be able to connect on that level so
that's really really cool I'm also super excited that you are going to be attending with us at South
by Southwest that is I think it's a great fit um again today's or this year's theme is look into
the future right look into the future and with the AR the XR spatial computing all the AI that's
coming out right now this we we can't we we can put on some glasses and look into the future
right that's the that is the the thing that's happening right now um I I shot Blake who's in
charge of South by Southwest I I shot him a message not too many days ago it's like look
thank you for for all you you've done right you know this is it's incredible um and you know
everything because I'm a fan of South by I've been a fan of South by for 20 plus years okay
I've been going since I was 14 right and I'm not 14 anymore so that said you know it's it's been it
it has changed drastically over the years of the type of environment but what hasn't changed is
is South by itself the the connections that happen there right it's not a place that I've ever gone
to that I go and I'm like okay I'm gonna go listen to these people talk and then we're all gonna get
together and talk about this person's talk that's not South by um it's not a place where like
everybody goes to the conference center during the day and then like splits up at night you know
no it's not that every venue in Austin Texas will have something going on all day long from
10 o'clock in the morning to two o'clock at night every venue will have something going on okay
there's not there there will not be one place that does not have something for you to go
and listen to to grow from someone to connect with you don't really know who you're going to
be talking to at South by you may think one year like oh well you know I just talked to this
homeless looking dude but that homeless looking dude may have just been tired because he's been
in South by for like three or four days already hasn't gotten any sleep and he's still wearing
the same backpack that he got there with okay but it turns out that that's some producer that's
doing something and the reason he was tired is because he's been communicating and talking to
people and connecting the whole stinking time right you don't really know who you're gonna see
well listen I'm here to definitely connect and uh working uh with you to uh connect with uh
and here uh connect with some artists that uh can uh at the very least help inspire
what can be done in this uh spheroid space and uh it's going to be uh really an amazing opportunity
because I grabbed the space right off the trolley between um the uh the main uh stop and
it's on fourth I forget the little street but it goes up to uh trinity so uh just right there
being able to uh you know hang out have the qr codes be uh you know uh I guess
a ambassador of ar there I mean that's uh gonna be very exciting and so uh taking that approach
here's the opportunity to to work with some uh some really amazing artists and of course put my
music in there and who knows uh it's just so so amazing um and yeah I'm completely um
I I guess it's grasping the potential of South by Southwest I never really saw myself as fitting in
but now I got it so I'm I'm excited for you to be there for sure Shaka Rogue you've been so
you've been I see you and I want to learn more about you I was looking at some of the things
that you have written on your profile here that you you know in all your ways you strive to share
a process you know so by all means open up thank you Metaverse Radio for giving us the opportunity
to be here and go global Shaka Rogue however you want to be named right now but or is yours right
on yeah another space is I'm known as Baba Shaka the saint um over the past 25 years I've cultivated
a movement that uh well um that cultivates an artist vanguard towards oneness through the pandemic
I was brought into the space um with some of the folks uh David uh being a part of the story time
now and um you know um a lot of pioneers in that space who had the patience to teach me certain
things and um it's it's it's awesome how that space alone allowed me to take what I knew from other
um societies that um that that I belong to I belong to one of the biggest uh maker societies
in the world whose founder is actually in Austin Texas and um so that was amazing to hear that
there's an actual and I am a musician a singer songwriter whose um music has has been on mainstream
radio during the time where I wasn't taking care of business um in terms of self-managing myself
so I didn't get paid for a lot of those things and throughout the pandemic I was able to mint
uh some of that music on the bitcoin blockchain and um you know create an asset that um you know
everyone in the space can go and check out um the beautiful part of of of of where um we are today
and for myself understanding how catalytic a movement like mine could be is that um while
you know I focus so long on just the cultivation of a process that brings us
um a fundamental commonality and based on our struggles our our values and beliefs um
you know in recent years uh social injustice has chosen me to put that system in that
process to the test and in a way that the whole world can see it now and so I I really do look
forward to any opportunity to present um my music which I've always written in songs because
it's always been a part of the process and intentionally knowing that everything that
I write um somehow um contributes to the tapestry of um what I would recognize as a
a new standard for global civility so thank you for having me and I'm and I'm here to learn more
You know it is beyond a pleasure I'm a huge fan of everything that story time down has done like
huge fan I'm not as active as I wish I could be um but they that there's people that say we're
going to do stuff in this space right and then there's the people that are consistently doing
in this space and there's people that say we're going to help people grow and we're
going to lead them into the next generation then there's people that take others by the hand
that say we want help and they say I'll help you and they take that time and they actually
help them not in the selfish way of like okay well we're going to help you but it's going to
cost 500 for you to sign up and then you can take our course and do this that and the other thing
uh but they say you you want to you want to grow you want you really want to understand this
if you really want to understand this I'll tell you what I'll open a room where myself and some
others we're going to talk about what we're doing and you can be free to ask questions and you can
be free to gain the understanding and we will do our best to if we don't have the answer we won't
make one up but we will go and help you search it out because if it's a question that we don't
know the answer to it's probably a question we want to know the answer to so as you're growing
we are growing and that is one of the most amazing I love story timed out and everything
that they've done for so many people throughout the years um so that's really cool to hear that
you kind of came you were you were a part of that uh so thank you for sharing that story
we've got I see down here we've got Josh we've got Apollo we've got David we've got Prism
we've got Lex I don't know how to say this one over here but I in versa do decor it seems like
you got some amazing art down there max million what is up I feel like it's been years but it's
probably only been months but we do all stay connected and that's the coolest part about this
thank you again to metaverse radio for giving us this platform we're planning on taking this
down to South by Southwest and having we're working out kinks now to make sure that all of this
can flow and be smooth right so that while we're down there if we're when we're at our event when
we have when we're hosting at the venues and doing these things giving that global broadcast
opportunity so if you're not able to attend like personally like you can't actually physically get
there hopefully you'll be able to tap in and see what's happening and listen to the music listen to
the vibes get that's going to be really cool uh can I say hex thank you for that thank you because
not all of us is able to be all the places that we want to yes we know how to time travel and do
all of the things here with these apps but you all make it so that we can continue that beyond just
here because I'm like oh if I could get to Texas and then flip around and get to New York oh my
gosh why do I have to pick and choose and y'all make it so we don't have to pick and choose
and that just lights up my little heart so thank you and hey Josh it's it's really like
it's a pleasure it's because I understand right because I have to choose it I feel like we're all
in that situation we all feel something like if I could only be all of the places you know um if
only the what what are those little transporter things and like break down all the atoms and
like throw them over to another spot and put them all back together if only that could happen
like right now today you know and I wouldn't turn out to be like with an arm for a leg and a leg
for a head you know so that if only we could work out those kinks it would be great uh quantum
computing can't get here quick enough okay but so let's go this is I am excited to see because
there's a lot of events that that are going to be happening this year one of them uh is called I
were artwork I know we've been talking about south by southwest but one of the things that
we're going to be doing at south by southwest is we're going to host this ar xr geospatial tour
okay and that's one of the things that felons was was just talking about and a lot of you in this
room um or the people that follow me know that I've done this for the past two years but this will be
probably our our most eventful year okay so two years ago as lm knows right two years ago
uh we brought 50 plus artists down to south by southwest no one was talking about ar at
that time very few people the metaverse meta had not quite changed their name yet right so
all of these things were still pretty new um and and it was a it was almost dirty words
but we had over 50 artists rotate out so every day in that same geospatial geolock spot
there was a different thing to see and we ran that for 10 days uh and again there was several
artists nft wonderful right at that time he was one of the only homies dropping tracks dropping
music um he they created spots we had people like ricardo can genie you know the the godfather of
3d so he he's the one that created the very first in real time 3d soccer game okay so multiplayer
that that all those things that you do on call of duty all those things that you do on fort night
all the things all of that was made possible because of the tools that ricardo can genie made
and we were able to host an experience made by that guy right so he's still involved uh i still
keep you know i make sure to still stay in communication with people like that um because
well they made the tools that made all of this possible the reason we are in this room today
is because people like that created tools they are now making things like uh star shoot bit
so it is a uh they're involved with sports so it is an ai ar application that can go inside gems
and it reads the body so like when you're doing your squats and things like that it you can see
that your your postures the correct way right that you're not hurting yourself it's it's there to
help you stay healthy in your workout which is which is a thing that probably gets overlooked
by the majority of people but it's very important that you actually do these things the safest way
lm i know you know because you teach healing right this is this is your zone like you're like man
yoga these things are important having that posture the right way changes everything the
damage you can do to your body just because you think you're working out is incredible right uh so
yes this this one this being suffered an achilles tend to rupture in 2019 after um it was the first
time out with um after having my youngest and i was like oh bodies be bodying i had been dancing
my whole life i had seen people go through such things and i was always like oh we always stretch
we always do of course i did the jumping and that tried to do a ninja warp wall no no no
no no no and that road to recovery has left me whew so now in this day and age i said that i was
going to get back to dance this year i have started with first the stretching please y'all
just like i encourage y'all to drink your water and get your hydration please stretch those bodies
even if you're not into the movement and whatnot it's the only instrument that we have
and even if parts are replaceable you still want the original to be the best okay oh say
with your whole heart thank you hex it's so true and and so having having people like that
we're looking to have those types of things displayed here at south by southwest because
this is important it's as much fun as it is to talk about the art and talk about the music
we get to also talk about these tools that are active you know these these active daily usable
tools as well so there's going to be a lot of really amazing things going on at south by
southwest one of my favorite one of my most favorite people in the world her name is holiday
horton uh you can find her literally if you google holiday horton uh she to to give a little
bit of a backstory on who she is and why she's so incredible to me when i first met her um i did not
know anything about her and all i knew was that she created augmented reality extended reality
experiences right that's really all i knew i knew she did some things on snapchat and lens and and
and worked in adobe and i was like wow your work is amazing and and beautiful and i love it
and she said thanks and so we started talking and then the more i started talking to her okay
then it was like months later as i'm talking as i after i've already built this little
relationship with this person just over what you know i've seen them do then i find out
she worked on the first supercomputer so much so that if you look in the britannica encyclopedias
if anybody remembers books okay before ahi and before the internet this is back in like 91 92
not to date her but if you open up the britannica encyclopedia her pictures in there with the
supercomputer it's not just like a name there's a whole picture in there okay and i'm getting that
so for what you know when people are like oh if you look up your name in the dictionary you'll
find you well yeah that really happened like she's actually in there you know she worked on things
like nasa she works for nasa doing doing different things over there so the these skills of these
people that are coming in with us at south by southwest are phenomenal that the fact that
they're and they're so humble in everything they do you don't know that she does all this stuff
or that she has this track record unless you go like digging for it because if you're talking to
just her she's just she's just like you and me and i'm like you are not like you like you are
not like me by any means like i i've got five kids and i barely have time to study you know you
are on a whole other level you have years of experience of making you've worked on the
supercomputer okay i haven't even looked at a supercomputer and you worked on one okay
we are not on the same level man um but i am so glad you're here so she's going to be working
and creating some geospatial experiences for us to see apollo down there who's an incredible artist
i mean the detail inside of the works that he does is i drew there's a piece that's out on
their instagram with this robot lady that's that's playing a violin and it moves me spiritually
like i mean emotionally like it it hits me in the core the detail that they have inside of their
work um i'm lucky to make one of those little meatballs inside a blender have eyeballs on it okay
and the the lm you've got entire games happening i was throwing around was some some like marshmallows
at a at a hot chocolate thing i was i i had doing this little race thing going on i give
a competitor like a multiplayer game it's a multiplayer game okay these things are happening
and i i'm blown away at the skills and and the passion that all of you have that you're bringing
to south by southwest um we do get to have some other incredible people that i haven't even
mentioned yet okay some other bigger names right and when i say bigger i mean like as far as right
now you know they they do have that uh influencer type status okay um and so as the weeks go on
we will start dropping more of these names but it's been so much fun over the past two years
working and getting to experience all of y'all's experiences at south by southwest going there on
site and and just not just viewing them but really getting inside of them and so this year
is going to be a lot more fun i'm excited for it uh right after this show today we have i have
the opportunity to go hang out with david on their show they've they've given me the honor
of being a guest on their show with three warriors and i this is a moment that i have been dreaming of

just uh no i'm here that's that's really what i want to get across and uh
get out of the shell let's go yo thank you so much felons um you know i also want to say like
for me like as an artist you know um like i've gotten to collaborate with a lot of people
and um like i was just thinking about this yesterday you know like i've collaborated
with a lot of builders and you know we kind of talk about like making like something you know
like happen and and you know make this like animated environment that's like you know you feel
and i i was thinking like you know i don't understand like more artists should do that
you know i think more artists should like collaborate with like you know um everyone
should collaborate you know in every way possible so i've been really fortunate enough to like work
with like josh gary and like lm and cybernerd baby and a bunch of schmurs and so many really
dope metaverse like architects and builders and designers so if you ever like you know feel like
it's daunting or anything like it's super you know it's not like it's um always fun to like
collaborate and stuff like make some really nice agreements before you know saying like hey like
you know this is what's the value exchange and um but yeah as long as like you guys are on the
same page and everything like a lot of you know there's a lot of really cool opportunities so
for all the artists out there on metaverse radio and everywhere around the world
just know that um you know there's everyone is waiting for you
it's awesome and i love the collaborations that you had real quick i'm gonna i'm gonna
call out two people okay one is this bit matt bucks and bucks and phillips you've been a huge
like impact inside the metaverse and the irl things with crypto and like you've got a whole
story that you could share and i would love for one day for you for you to share that with some
people um altered though i was just talking about you with stilo and we were highlighting
uh from when stilo did the fashion drop with with ready player me and i stalked you around
the metaverse okay because you were like who is this crazy lady that keeps following me everywhere
i go and yeah i know you remember because you even made posts you were like what is this person and
why are they following me and then yeah so it was it was good times it's been it's so much fun
running through the metaverse running through the spatial computers with all of you guys with all of
you gals with all of you amazing people okay so uh anytime altered you know this you you always
