Meta lost $80 billion on the Metaverse. We called it in 2022. Here's why the same mistake is happening again - right now.



In this week's ThrowForward Thursday, I revisit our April 2022 episode on the Metaverse hype cycle and what it teaches us about separating real technological change from expensive noise. With AI, spatial computing, and the "next big platform" dominating headlines, the ability to distinguish signal from hype is the most valuable skill a leader can have.



What you'll learn:


- Why the Metaverse failed - and what the warning signs actually were

- How to identify genuine technological disruption vs. hype-driven investment

- The thinking framework futurists use to stress-test tech trends

- What today's equivalent of the Metaverse might be
