From nothing to someone - How I'm helping others become successful in the tech, gaming & esports industries

in #esports7 years ago

Progressing my own career and goals while helping others has been something that I've always wanted to do. In fact, I've previously left the gaming & technology industry completely (to study social work), when I felt like I wasn't achieving this goal.

While taking some cues from American Finance guru Dave Ramsey, I delved into more professional mentoring and consulting, but that still wasn't enough - how can I distribute advice, contacts and years of combined experience to a mass audience, especially those who weren't in a financial situation to engage in one-on-one support? In comes the Business in Games Podcast (BiG Podcast) - a show designed for development, learning and thought distribution.

While the aim is to provide thought-provoking topics based on the back-end of business in gaming, tech & esports with top-tier rotating guests, it's also a vehicle for me to get together with some of my most trusted industry contacts, share our collective thoughts on their scenes and help others grow in a personal and business sense.

Previous episodes have seen me drag on various characters; a very successful YouTuber and so-called 'living meme', Anything4views, who has been lit on fire on video, streams himself walking around the streets of Perth with a mobile phone and has even travelled to America and France 'for work' not out of his own pocket. On the other side of the coin, I recently recorded an episode with a smaller commentary agency owner, James Cowan (JimNeso), who talked about the struggles of an infant esports scene in Australia, how he sees investment in the scene and his plight to advance women in the gaming scene.

If you're thinking about jumping into business on the technology, gaming & esports side of life and aren't sure where to kick it off, the BiG Podcast will provide you with some of the behind-the-scenes data and knowledge to spring yourself forwards. I've been interviewing successful YouTube content creators, full-time employed technology journalists & reviewers, esports personalities & YouTube tech review channels with more to come.

For those looking at something more personalised and tangible, feel free to get in touch to talk about my mentoring.
