What do you enjoy most about working in your specific industry?
I'm celebrating 10 years in video games this year. This is how I got into working in entertainment and the creator space. Twitch was born a couple of years into my working at a video game media company, Future.
What I enjoy most about video games is, well, who doesn't love games? It keeps me young, and I feel very much like a child at heart. I get to call this work. My parents always said I played too many video games and it would never make me any money. Now I get to rub that in their faces daily. So, thank you, Mom and Dad.
On the creator side, I get to work with very creative people every single day. They are finding new ways to push our industry and generating breaking new milestones. I love that. I find it truly rewarding to talk to passionate, creative people.
So, those are the two things I like most about my industry.
