Jackson.


Listen until 23:41 to hear what Jennifer is most excited about
when it comes to the future of technology.  


"We, right now, are exploring a lot about the Metaverse, and how
that will re-shape how we interact with each other. How
businesses interact with their customers. How we can even do
things, like, bring therapy right to people who may not have
access through the Metaverse, and, so, I think that's going to
completely change the way we as human beings work, and really
spend time with each other. So, that I'm really excited about."
