Everything Esports Business Related And Fun!

Amazing podcast, one that really stands out for the quality of conversation, the standard of content and the topics covered are always of the moment. TBoE was something I was genuinely looking for as I started my own journey building an Esports business, there is NOTHING else like this out there, at least I have found - coming directly from leaders in the industry - that offers this experience. The guests are fantastic, with some huge names making special guest appearances like Cliff Morgan the CEO and founder of GFuel, and Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick. Thank you so much for creating the podcast and putting up regular episodes. I can’t wait to listen and take notes in the next one! ...P.S. I stand beside William that Hero's Of The Storm is still the best Esports game out there! ;)
