🎙Snippets From The Weld Podcast Network
Want to be a guest on one of Weld’s podcasts or upcoming LinkedIn Audio Events + Twitter Spaces? Give me a shout at Carly@WeldRecruiting.co 😎
PS – we’re starting a new podcast called Blockchain IRL and booking guests now!
Lauren Ingram is a fellow woman in web3, and a fellow podcaster for this space! She has a background in agencies and technology, and found that web3 was the perfect avenue that encompassed all of her interests. Today, Lauren highlights awesome women in the web3 space, such as Randi Zuckerberg, Cathy Hackl, Lindsey McInerney, Maliha Abidi, Nicola Mendelsohn, Maghan McDowell and more – to help others make their way down the web3 rabbithole.
Lauren joins the Women in Web3 podcast to talk about:
How and why she created the Women of Web3 podcast;
Balancing life, web3, and her podcast;
Transitioning from a creative background into tech;
And big lessons she’s learned in web3.
>>> In this episode, Lauren said that “web3 technologies are going to become the dominant technologies over the next 5 to 10 years.”
She doesn’t believe they’ll replace current technologies, much like social media when it came about – they’ll just add to it.
Think about it: Nowadays, social media is relevant to every business everywhere, but there’s still a need for older technologies, such as websites, for businesses to market themselves.
All of these technologies serve their own purpose, and it’s only a matter of time before #NFTs, #blockchain, the #metaverse, #smartcontracts and more join the norm and serve their own purposes.
