How Web3 Technology Will Impact the Future of Consumer Trends [Expert Insights]

Written by Caroline Forsey

Many years ago, I waited hours in line after a concert to get a coveted Selena Gomez autograph.

After she signed my poster, I hung it up in my bedroom, where it felt like my most prized possession. Because, although plenty of other people had Selena's autograph — no one had this specific one.

It was one-of-a-kind. And worth every penny I paid to attend the meet-and-greet.

And, although it may not seem like it at first, web3 technology — and how it will ultimately impact consumers — is actually very similar to my experience at the Selena Gomez concert.

Here, I spoke with three web3 experts to learn more about how web3 will impact the future of consumer trends.

Hubspot Marketing: Clubhouse vs. Podcasts: Which Should Marketers Use?

It’s interesting that I’m creating this article because I’m nearly done with my book on this subject. So in the confines of this article, I will do my level best to distill a few thoughts on the topic. I love podcasting. This will be evident as you reach the bottom of this. And I know you will too. Presumptuous, yes, but I’m confident you’ll love this medium and how powerful it is.

Podcast Magazine: Cutting Through the Culture Crap
Podcast Magazine: Cutting Through the Culture Crap

Holly Shannon’s been described as a business Swiss-Army knife. Might sound a little weird, until you tune in and realize that her top 2% podcast, Culture Factor, is literally cutting through the culture crap.

“Culture” has become an overused buzzword in the business space today. So much so that everyone seems to have an opinion on the “right” way to build a company culture (even those who’ve never run a business).

It does lead us to wonder: does the world need another podcast on culture? Yes, if it’s Holly’s.

Thrive Global: Holly Shannon of ‘Zero To Podcast’: “You will always be promoting”

I got into podcasting by accident while working on a SaaS start-up. But being a podcast junkie to begin with, I was always listening, admiring and sharing shows!

Marketing with audio and social tools became an obsession overnight. The human voice has nuance, strength, feeling and emotion. I knew I found my home immediately and also felt I could have the most impact there too.

CEO Medium feature 'Be the Thought Leader and Do it with a Podcast'

I created my business, Holly Shannon, to build podcasts because I saw the immense power they have in the business ecosystem. Can you imagine getting in the ears of 100’s of thousands of people? We fight with algorithms on Linkedin, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Do people see your business? Do they see you? Is your brand on people’s minds? Are you finding new clients or just regurgitating your elevator pitch to the same followers day in and day out?

What if you could share your expertise with the world (literally, the world) and become seen as the thought leader that you are?

COMPANY CULTURE, LEADING YOU WHEREVER YOU ARE

HQ is now in kitchens everywhere. This being sudden, arrangements were never made to make this effective. By design, corporations paid outrageous sums of money to have cities reflect their position in the world with concrete and steel. Now they are empty and our spare bedrooms have been retro-fitted to accommodate.
