Gamification with Pete Jenkins

Old Fox Young Fox

This episode of Old Fox Young Fox talks games, gaming, and generally playing around with gamification expert Pete Jenkins. We ask why are these phrases not always associated with positive outcome?

Is this how it should be? Are we missing something here? Are we not all kids inside? Can games teach us about life? Can play help groups of people to negotiate difficult situations? Is playing actually good for you?

We examine games, gaming and gamification closely with our resident expert, Pete Jenkins. A lifelong gamer, successful businessman and Lecturer on the subject, this is one interesting discussion.
