    Production Styles Across Studios: Hear Nick Pham & Melissa Borda's Insights

    Explore contrasting production journeys with Melissa Borda (former Light Forge Games, current Garden Interactive) and Nick Pham (Red Storm Entertainment) as they share their transitions from Iron Galaxy to dramatically different development environments. From managing a nimble 30-person indie team to coordinating 100+ developers at Ubisoft, discover how these producers adapt methodologies, embrace remote collaboration tools, and prioritize team dynamics. Both reveal how their unexpected paths into production taught them valuable lessons about flexibility, curiosity, and putting people first in game development. Join us for practical insights into leadership across the spectrum of game production! This is a follow up from Episode 3. I never posted the complete podcast I did with Melissa Borda and Nick Pham. While Nick needed some internal review time (rightfully so), I opted to post an edited version with just Melissa. After official sign off and a slight tweak, I never did hit that render button and post the complete version.
