High Flying Owls - Beyond the Future
Ethan Berg
Dec 16, 2022
In this episode of High Flying Owls, host Dwight Carey is joined by Ethan Berg, co-founder and CEO of Agora World, Inc. Hear discussions about the metaverse, Berg’s mission with his company, and much more. As a previous student of Professor Carey’s, Berg shares some inspirational words for students in the same place he once was.
" The XR community attracts so many interesting people. People that inspire me. Some of them are behavioral scientists, visionary creatives, technical geniuses. Others are hustlers. Young people who see an opportunity. An opportunity to build the future they want to live in with their friends and with their families. Ethan Berg brings some really incredible energy into the industry and I feel so much inspiration after our conversation. He caught the entrepreneur bug in college selling coffees to kids on campus, almost like a more thoughtful version of the classic lemonade stand ☕️ 💰 Then he tried VR and everything changed. Like me, he's not a coder or a design expert. He's a guy who see's problems and has a passion for building solutions. With Agora World he's building a no code solution for virtual world creation. They started by plugging into Shopify and providing fully immersive virtual reality shopping experiences, and since pivoted more into web based creation. Almost like the wix or squarespace of the metaverse. Really enjoyed learning more about his story and excited to share it with you." - Ricky Huock (MetaRick)
