  <description>&lt;p&gt;On this episode of Off Script, James runs us through his recent trip to South By South West (SXSW) and analyses what it all means with Josh. What were the main talking points?

&lt;li&gt;Emerging tech trends&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Our role as leaders&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Robin Hood app &amp;amp; Gamification&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Overvaluation of some tech companies&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Is this a bubble?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Candle Media buying Youtube channels&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Silo'd Metaverse experiences&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Video games have been doing this for years&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AI&lt;/li&gt;
