The Metaverse Is Just the Beginning | Samantha Tauber

Ep. 42

Join us for a mind-expanding conversation with Samantha Tauber, the visionary force behind VNCCII — a multiple award-winning Australian multimedia artist, music producer, entrepreneur, futurist, and Chief Metaverse Officer. As both a real-world innovator and a digital galactic superheroine, Samantha is redefining what it means to be a creator in the age of Web3, AI, and the Metaverse.


In this electrifying episode, Samantha shares the bold journey from singer-songwriter to metaverse pioneer — teaching herself cutting-edge tools like Ableton Live and Unreal Engine 5, while building an immersive universe around her avatar, VNCCII. Her work fuses music, storytelling, tech, and social impact — earning her global recognition, including the Music Metaverse Award and a place in the Top 100 Women of the Future.


Don't miss this opportunity to tap into the mindset of a true multidimensional thinker, as VNCCII reminds us:

"Innovation should drive humanity together — towards a state of collective peace, love, and mutual respect."
