episode 11: Episode #11: John Kraski on the Future of Community, Web 3.0, and the Rise of the Educreator Economy
In this episode I speak to Web 3.0 guru and LinkedIn Influencer John Kraski.
John is author of the upcoming book the Future of Community. In this fascinating episode we explore:
- His journey to 65,000 followers
- How Linkedin wanted to shut him down believing his rapid rise was due to AI bots... before awarding him a LinkedIn Top Voice accolade
- His decade of LinkedIn failure before the lightbulb moment when he realised he could 'own' the Web 3.0 space.
- How you no longer need to be an expert to get traction - if you can simplify the complex, the right people will listen and you can build a brand.
- How NFTs aren't only bad cartoons of apes: how they will enable educators to monetise their value in a more open and transparent way.
- His new book and how it was building his brand on LinkedIn that made it possible
- How the Metaverse will open out global audience for teachersÂ
- What educators should be doing now to get ready for the coming Web 3.0 creator wave
I learnt a lot - I hope you do too.
