Had such a blast talking with Mike Crossman (@claimtofameceo)CEO of a Northeast Esports Gaming Entertainment Company Claim To Fame Entertainment. They are dedicated to hosting esports focused events and have created a community of passionate gamers in the Capitol Region of NY State. We go into some really deep details related to the business of running an esports startup. Everything from inspiration for his idea, to what success looks like and how he tracks it, to what his company looks like in 5 years.

This is a brand new style show I am shooting for. Bare with me as I get the nuances down and really fine-tune how I want this to run. Leave me some feedback on how you liked or didn’t like it!!
