Episode 126 - Rustin Sotoodeh : Elevate The Ideas That Work

Rustin Sotoodeh is the co-founder of E-Coliseum, the world’s first Esports gym. At there pop-up shop in Downtown Los Angeles, they were stocked with some of the best equipment on the market. Customers paid a monthly membership that allowed them to drop in and play at anytime. On top of that, they held tournaments with cash giveaways, had professional gamers playing at their location and even had Kickstradomis customize Nike Air Force 1’s on the spot. As they look to open up a permanent location in LA this summer, they promise it will be an experience you won’t forget. Born & raised in Tustin, CA, soccer and video games were two of his earliest passions. Entrepreneurship has ran in his blood since he was a child. In elementary school, he charged kids to play his GameCube. In middle school, he sold t-shirts out of his locker and throughout high school / college years, he was flipping high-end sneakers. He attended the University of Southern California where he majored in Business Administration and minored in Game Entrepreneurship. Throughout his senior year he and his co-founder Kha Lu started putting all the pieces of the puzzle together. By the time they graduated in the Spring of 2018, they were ready to launch their 2 month pop-up shop. Filled with Dell’s Alienware computers, Vertagear gaming chairs, Cooler Master headsets & ViewSonic Monitors, this was and will be the place to be to connect with people and be a gamer. In this episode he discusses the benefits of meditating for 100 days in a row, crossing off 3 tasks a day, making the impossible possible, finding our ‘zone of genius’ and why we should elevate the ideas that work. - If you enjoy this podcast, please leave us a 1 sentence review on the iTunes Podcast App with your honest feedback OR screenshot this Episode, post it to your Instagram Story tagging @Rust1n & @PurposeintheYouth!  - Connect with Rustin!
