Angela and Evan talk with seasoned entrepreneur and metaverse enthusiast, Yon Raz-Fridman, on why the real TAM of the metaverse is 100 *billion* people, exiting the Web2/traditional world of Zero Sum Games, and whether NFTs and blockchain generally are required to enable the ultimate form Yon envisions for the metaverse.
