Plug into the nonstop global economy of billion-selling products and trillion-dollar markets The Web 3.0 world of "pandemic economics" is a new economy that will function outside the traditional laws of commerce, free from today's impediments to business growth, and in a world where every person is connected to each other. Jump Point is the powerful guide that will help you to challenge old assumptions, rethink your business models, and take advantage of this fast-moving, unfettered, and fiercely competitive environment.

Rethink your business in terms of the global network, and take it from the jump point into exponential growth.
