Recognizing the Unseen: Building Inclusive Virtual Communities

Text Brian & Shawna (Fan Mail)

Have you ever felt like you were invisible? In this episode of New Horizons, we explore the universal feeling of being unseen. Shawna and Brian (Mr. & Mrs.KillerB) kick us off as they discuss the significance of recognizing and valuing individuals, inspired by a book they're reading together called, "One at a Time" by Kyle Idleman. Our special guest, Martin Reid (AKA MetaClean Rupert in the Metaverse), shares his journey of feeling invisible and how his experiences are fueling what he's doing in the Metaverse on Horizon Worlds, fostering a community where everyone is seen.

Authenticity and legacy take center stage as Brian, Shawna, and Martin discuss the true essence of success—impact over popularity. Through personal reflections and a profound psychology class exercise comparing Adolf Hitler and Winston Churchill, we learn that outward behaviors don't always reflect true character. We also hear how additional incidents involving law enforcement may help us all become more aware of the necessity of grace, patience, and empathy in interactions. Lastly, we celebrate the return of MetaClean Ruperts shows called "Meta Talks Live", returning for its fifth season. Join us for a heartfelt, thought-provoking episode that encourages seeing and valuing each other, both virtually and in reality.
