I remember the first time I came across Augmented reality and Virtual Reality(ARVR), my world lit up. I was working on a mobile concept with a great colleague of mine, Colin The Catalyst and we were brainstorming on how we could make the mobile application more interactive and basically ‘awesome’. Then the conversation on Augmented Reality came through, he showed me a couple of examples and might I tell you from there I have been literally obsessed with ARVR! This is the future, this is where the world is going.
What is ARVR, you might ask? IT’S THE FUTURE, so get in line! know it, love it and let’s get it going! The possibilities its bringing, makes my heart pound in excitement
.I was trailing through some articles and the name Jodi Schiller came up. Curiosity got the best of me and I googled the name. I was in awe!
A woman doing exactly what I am dreaming off. I went from article to article, to podcasts following her story and I have never been more inspired and more driven to continue with my dream.
Jodi Schiller is taking amazing strides!

Can someone put this woman on a tower? Everyone needs to see her!
Like any other entrepreneur’s story, mine isn’t much different; the excitement, the difficulties of narrowing your idea, implementing, cost and so on. I then started thinking of trying to perhaps change goal posts, but Jodi’s story, her work and just what she is doing for other women, gave be that ‘jump start I needed’. I reached out to her on LinkedIn and I was so ecstatic when she replied me.
She said something that I think is very important for all of us to know:
"At this point it's super important that the ARVR Community knows we need to inspire our next generation of female leaders around the world."
Thank you some much Jodi Schiller and to every other woman contributing so much to this world and paving way for us upcoming leaders.
