S1 E9 | Saying gm to the Open Metaverse w/LDF

On this episode of Rehash, we’re talking with LDF, Chief gm Officer of the Open Metaverse. With roots in tech, marketing, and gaming, and former spots at Facebook and Reddit, LDF stumbled into web3 several years ago. She wasn’t initially drawn in by the financial aspect, but NFTs certainly managed to spark her interest. LDF saw blockchain, along with its decentralized toolset, as an opportunity to create new monetization models that could truly enable the ownership economy. During our chat LDF speaks on the future of work, the unique path she took into web3, and the roles that memes play in our lives, both online and off. We also cover the many potential use cases of NFTs, gaming, the creator economy, learning in public, promoting diversity in web3, and the open metaverse.To continue this conversation and stay up to date on all things Rehash, you can follow Diana on Twitter @ddwchen and Rehash @rehashweb3.
