A podcast featuring conversations with people who love or are involved with gaming, esports and competition.
Gaming is about more than competition or entertainment. It's about expanding your horizons and connecting with and learning from people all over the globe.
Eri Neeman is an event host and MC from the Philippines. Eri has hosted large scale events hosted by ESL all over the world. Eri loves to share his passion for Dota, community and the pursuit of knowledge.
Jack is the manager of the North American Dota 2 team Quincy Crew. QC is one of the best teams in the world but is not signed with an esports organization and will be attending TI10. We spoke a lot about what it takes to develop a good team culture and bring more professionalism into esports. We also discusses Jack's path into esports through bridging the game between western audiences and the Chinese Dota scene.
In this episode I spoke with Sajedene, the former co-owner of Digital Chaos and one of the brains behind Dota Cinema and the Captain's Draft tournaments.

We talked about how to create an esports tournament, running a Valve DPC Minor, securing sponsorships and the trials of building a professional Dota team. Sajedene is one of the most experienced and knowledgeable people I have spoken with in esports and her history as a Hollywood talent agent added an extra layer of depth to our conversation.
In this episode we are joined by Ursinity from the Fourth Spirit & Defense of the Patient podcasts. Ursi is an experienced podcaster with over 1000 episodes under his belt.
We talk about his background in education and public speaking that led to his podcasting hobby and covered several commonly asked questions for content creators. We also talk about burnout, finding inspiration to create, learning from gaming and how to build a content brand.
