On Meaningful Work #17 Phoria

Hello all and welcome to another episode of the On Meaningful Work podcast. 

In this episode, I chat with Trent and Joseph, the co-founder of the VR/Mixed reality company Phoria. We chat about how Trent and Joseph along with their other cofounders grew their high school friendship into a successful partnership. We talk about how being exposed to the natural world set the foundation for the business they want to build and the projects they want to tackle (eg their REWILD project with Netflix). We discuss the potential of V.R for being a true for good in the world, and of course, this being a VR company, we touched on what our future in the Metaverse might look like. Hope you Enjoy!
