Danny Denhard 📝 🎙 @dannydenhard

What @Nike could do to blend the work / coworking space + adding an utility NFT's into the mix. 💡 A bright idea from @NickWalter23 for the future (From the future state of podcast)

Danny’s Predictions

• Life: First super app, New UGC platform, a boom in Payless stores, contactless and innovation in online purchases, BNPL moving towards digital banks and going after food space

• Work: Consolidation In banks, food delivery, shift to third place, hybrid future of work, huge IT hacks (Danny’s brother’s IT support and solutions company)

So what do you think? 💭

Are you a BNPL fan?
Concerned about IT hacks?
Do you think hybrid is the only way we move forward?
Or do you think Nick is wrong with staycations or are we going to be travelling more as we value experiences more?
