Online Identity And The Power Of Digital Objects With Eternal CEO Reggie James

In this episode of NEWFORUM, we were thrilled to have Reggie James, co-founder, and CEO of Eternal, as our special guest. Reggie's fascination with the next wave of identity and the evolution of social media led him to co-found Eternal with his partner. Initially, they focused on developing avatars and worlds on mobile with a raw Metaverse thesis, but the pandemic brought a shift towards supporting artists in the new tech landscape. Their platform combines ticketing and artist services to create a seamless experience for creators and fans alike. They have developed a 3D ticketing app and turned the avatar social product into a virtual venue, allowing artists to perform virtual shows and traditional live events.

Topics discussed include:


How did you come to founding a Eternal?

How do online identities evolve with the means of technology?

Media consumption vs consumption

Where do you see the ecosystem of Eternal evolving?

Building long-standing hard businesses

Creating intersectional beautiful objects

The metaverse as a new container for software
