The Gamerpreneur

By Bradford Carlton

A Gamerpreneur is someone who refuses to give up their favorite hobby, or even their way of life, in order to conform with the rest of society. We build the lives of our dreams by leaving into our passions instead of away from them. This podcast focuses on those people, their achievements, and how they did it.

Every situation is different, but there are some clear guidelines to follow on this point.
