In this episode we sit down with Emmy‑winning executive and esports entrepreneur Anthony Gaud to map the real terrain of competitive gaming and the fractured media world we all inhabit now.

The conversation widens to the media shift hiding in plain sight: Game Awards streams outdrawing the Oscars, streamers surpassing cable ratings, and a generation that knows MrBeast better than late‑night hosts. Anthony argues that rebuilding shared culture will require more live, scheduled moments - and less algorithmic drift. 

He also pulls back the curtain on publisher control choking event organizers, the implications of leveraged buyouts in gaming, and how his team blends real game design with regulated iGaming to create safer, more engaging experiences for adults. Along the way, we celebrate the artistry of modern games such as Red Dead Redemption 2, and how gaming unites people of all ages and backgrounds.
