There’s a chance you may have entered Solis’ article about value creation in the metaverse with a specific or even just a vague idea in your head about what that “value” might entail-maybe a new revenue stream or, if you’re one of the good technologists, something to do with immersive communities for people to feel a sense of connection and belonging in a fragmented, pandemic-stricken world. The user doesn’t always know what they’re going to value 12, 24, or 36 months from now, but they’ll know it when they see it. That value is in the eye of the beholder. Okay! Pretty vague, but go on… We need to design value in stages, developing the necessary expertise and infrastructure so we’re first to market or a fast follower. We’re in the hype cycle right now, Solis argues, but there’s still value to be gleaned from all this vague metaverse excitement! From the article, he writes: I also think it’s our job to consider what value creation looks like as technology evolves-technology that doesn’t necessarily exist in the hands of consumers yet but will. Instead, he starts by asserting that we are in the “early days” of the metaverse (which anyone who has spent meaningful time in metaverse projects like, say, Second Life will tell you is patently false). Unfortunately, Solis doesn’t ever begin to define what he or his fellow innovation evangelists mean when they say “value.” In fact, he doesn’t really define anything.

Retired from professional coaching on 10/31/14 to focus on family and developing youth baseball players full time.Recently, I stumbled upon an amazing document-a near-perfect historical record of business bullshittery. “My purpose, MY WHY, is to provide for my family, while also doing everything I can to develop quality people through the many life lessons that Baseball provides daily.”ġ7 Years Professional Experience (14 as a player, 3 as a coach). It’s often a thankless role but remember that no matter where they go in the game, they are going somewhere in life. I need to say Thank You to all my past coaches and to all the current coaches who take pride in giving the kids in front of them what they need on top of baseball skills. The amount of time coaches put in, the level of patience required, the attention to detail necessary, the consistent body language needed to lead by example, the understanding of what’s really important and what’s not, the importance of being able to relate to all different personalities, athleticism and abilities, the fact that being a good coach means consistently growing ourselves and coming to the realization that the one thing that matters most in all of this is finding ways to use the game to help them prepare for all those years when they are not playing the game. Since then my appreciation and understanding of coaching has grown deep.
