Before we begin, a declaration.
This is not another tech podcast. It’s a warning. A call. A calibration.
“The Briefing” sets the foundation for everything that follows — a sharp break from hype-driven noise. Here, we define what matters: signal, impact, and the future as an engineered consequence, not a speculative hope.
Jason Jerald, with over 25 years at the bleeding edge of XR and emerging tech, outlines the mission of Impactful Realities: to move beyond theory and into results, where ROI isn’t a buzzword — it’s a battlefield metric.
This episode introduces the framework, urgency, and tone that drive every future guest, every question, and every conversation.
Because the future isn’t 20 years out. It’s what you do now.
You’ve been briefed.
You’ve been briefed.

This episode brings you face-to-face with Tom Furness, one of the original architects of immersive tech.
This is a call to a higher vision.
From classified military labs to building labs that fostered 27 startups, Tom’s story is one of intentional transformation. He didn’t just pioneer the tech — he is now defining how it will be used to lift humanity.
