Bianca Jackson has been on the cutting edge of technology for years. A self-proclaimed “tech nerd” since she was a child, Bianca is the founder and CEO of BrickRose Exchange, a physical event space in Baltimore, Maryland that evolved into a virtual event space in the Metaverse when the pandemic hit. Bianca’s deep well of expertise stems from her work as a project manager on tech projects with Fortune 500 companies in the Washington, D.C. area. She was even on the Pulitzer Prize winning team at USA Today that created a virtual world to tell the story from the perspective of migrants, border patrol, farmers, and others about funding the U.S./Mexico border wall. Eventually, Bianca wanted to “take her talents to the streets,” as she puts it. BrickRose Exchange continues to thrive as an event space in the Metaverse, “a digital world where commerce will happen, where connection will happen.” According to Bianca, “Any event you can do on Zoom or in person, you can do in the Metaverse.” Tune into this conversation where Bianca and Tara discuss topics ranging from the virtual — hosting events (even concerts!) in the Metaverse, the next iteration of the internet called Web3, monetizing your content and owning your data, and cryptocurrency — to the real-life — practicing mindfulness, risk taking, building front-of-the-line skills, not fearing technology or its terminology, the importance of play and exploration to expose your passion, being open to new opportunities, and more. You won’t want to miss this episode of the Fierce Lab podcast where Bianca breaks down high-tech innovations into terms anyone can understand.
