Our guests for this episode are Boyd Gittins and his daughter Renee Gittins – the Executive Director of the International Game Developers Association (IGDA), an organization that supports and empower game developers around the world in achieving fulfilling and sustainable careers.
In addition to leading the IGDA, Renee is also the CEO and Creative Director of her own indie game studio “Stumbling Cat” where she is leading her team in the creation of a new video game “Potions: A Curious Tale.” Renee is also a Forbes 30 under 30 honoree.
We’re excited to be experimenting with a slightly different format in this episode by hosting both the father and his daughter. The episode starts with the conversation with Renee and then transitions to a conversation with her father, Boyd.
Topics we discuss include:
- Renee’s perspectives on personal leadership
- How Boyd helped Renee to learn how to push through difficulties
- Boyd’s focus on encouraging effort more so than results
- And, a story about how Renee and her parents responded when Renee asked her elementary school teacher for extra math work and was told “girls don’t need to know more math”.
Enjoy the episode!
