Meet the Neopets Metaverse Team: Brian Ho — Business Development Manager
Many in our community are curious about the brains behind Neopets Metaverse — and rightfully so! Our team works every day, putting incredible effort into bringing the Neopets Metaverse vision to life. Up next in our #MeettheTeam Series and setting up a personal interview with Brian Ho, our business development manager, we are excited to share his story today!
Q: Could you please introduce yourself to the community? Tell us about your role and what you do?
Hi. My name’s Brian, and I’m the Business Development Manager here at Neopets Metaverse. I focus on onboarding new partners, arranging campaigns, and expanding the project network. Simply put, I make sure the company thrives.
Q: Neopets Metaverse is a global project with a multinational team; tell us where you’re from and what part of the globe are you in?
I was born, raised, and currently residing in Hong Kong.
Q: Can you tell us about your background and what brought you to Neopets?
After majoring in accounting and finance, I started a mining business in 2017 that focused on Bitcoin and Ethereum. Phew! Can’t believe I’m still here after those grueling bear markets. Moving on, I met a couple of Web3 friends as we fiddled around the defi ecosystem. I caught wind of the Neopets Metaverse team when they dove into Web3. Perfect timing since Neopets was a huge part of my childhood, and I figured my skills could help the project successfully move to the space. Finally, here I am!
Q: What do you find exciting about the Metaverse?
A lot of things. See, the Metaverse is everywhere in terms of concept. It can be applied to businesses, education, art, or even mini-games. Furthermore, it becomes a decentralized world, free from any regulation with Web3 involved. We can now own virtual assets with proof of ownership on the blockchain. These valuable assets are stored in blockchain-secure wallets that can only be accessed by no one else but the owner. I believe the combined security and transparency provided by crypto plus the freedom of Metaverse will direct the future. If blockchain technology becomes widely adopted, we can solve many problems in real life. All these possibilities make me so excited!
Q: What are you looking forward to the most at Neopets Metaverse?
For now, I can’t wait till the Audius campaign wraps up. I love music, and with Audius’ support, we can expect a smooth music streaming experience, while getting awesome new BGMs for Neopets Games!
Q: What advice would you give to someone that would be interested in working in the metaverse?
Be flexible. Break free from the shackles of centralization, unleash your creativity, and embrace the freedom of Web3 culture. You don’t necessarily have to be a degen, but open your mind. Think outside of the box to create something new in this industry. We need every innovation we can get.
Q: What’s your favorite video game of all time?
I love FIFA! It’s even more fun when playing with friends.
Q: How do you like to spend your free time?
Besides FIFA, I like to hoop and play Texas Hold’em with my friends.
Q: Are you a dog person or a cat person?
Dog person! I had two dogs when I was 6. They were so loyal. I loved them to death.
Q: If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I’d like to have super intelligence as a superpower so that I can resolve the existing issues of the blockchain and prepare for worldwide adoption.
