In today’s episode, I sit down with James Crook, founder and president of BlinC Games, a universal platform built to organize any game, anywhere, anytime. We talk about how sports, competition, and fatherhood shaped James’s resilience, leadership, and long-term vision. James shares the real story behind building BlinC from the ground up, from sleeping on floors and driving Uber to creating a system that empowers organizers, players, venues, and partners alike. We also get into building community through games, aligning incentives in a two-sided marketplace, and why patience matters when you are committed to something bigger than quick wins.
