“The metaverse will create gaps between the haves and have-nots that brands can fill.” In addition to breaking down the metaverse and leading the way on influence marketing (not just influencer marketing), Jason Falls recently founded a new network for marketing podcasts aptly titled the Marketing Podcast Network, which On Brand is a proud member of. We discussed all of this and more, this week on the show.

How do you know when you should start a second podcast? Jason breaks down his decision-making process during this week’s episode. (SPOILER ALERT: It all comes down to focus and audience.)

Jason explains the Metaverse. I know this sounds like a tall order but, once again, Falls delivers. While Facebook/Meta has been in the news a lot recently, Jason did a great job of detailing what this means and the opportunities on the horizon for brands.
