Yulia Barnacova is a Metaverse, Web 3 and Gen AI Strategist at Accenture, a Ted X speaker and Microsoft MVP. As Technology continues to change and adapt at the speed of thought, leaders and businesses also need to adapt and ensure that the speed of change externally does not exceed the speed of change internally. 
Yulia is a technology experimenter and is always probing the art of the possible. 
In this episode my only role was to be curious and ask Yulia questions such as 'What is the Metaverse?' What is the infrastructure that it requires? What is the opportunity and the challenge for leaders? 
I also explore the residual impact from the lack of human proximity that we all suffered during the pandemic and how the Metaverse will be viewed going forward. 
What is clear from this episode is that the digital landscape will not slow down and already provides business with a full digital Economy and ever changing commerce system. 
Yulia will also explain that the current legal and regulatory systems can't keep up with the pace of change hence it feels to many as if the Wild West of technological change is upon us. Is this a modern day gold rush and start of an uncontrollable race for competitive advantage or is this an opportunity for the world to right so many historical wrongs?
