TBD: Beyond the Basement

In the second of our series of interviews on the business side of esports & gaming, we chatted with Jill Downey on what she thinks the opportunities and challenges are for brands and esports in 2021 and onwards.

It's a fascinating chat on their experience from a brand perspective and there are so many nuggets in here to listen out for. Thanks for tuning and do remember to let other know about our fledgling podcast, every little helps! You can find us on;

In this, our first interview on the TBD podcast, we go big straight away with an amazing guest. He's a Premier League winner, entrepreneur and gamer who in 2018 founded the NoFuchsGiven Esports Academy team.... it's Christian Fuchs.

It was fascinated to find out how the move into esports came about, his own exploits in playing FIFA (for charity), what his hopes and aspirations are for NFG in the next few years and what his advise would be to others planning to follow in his esports footsteps.. He's a really open and honest person who was fantastic to speak to.

Thanks to Trev for arranging the chat, and to you for listening.

See you in two weeks!

T, B & D.

In this, our first 'chat' episode of TBD. Trev, Ben and Dan discuss the increased number of team owners from the sports world into esports, and how this is going to affect the industry. Will they stick to FIFA? is it a trend that will fizzle out? and how have sports teams adapted to the attention demanded by gaming and younger audiences over the last few years?

Towards the end you can hear and snippet from our first TBD Interview, a prize* for the first person who can guess who it is!
