Manage episode 475168703 series 3237334
I'm still buzzing from this interview! On the latest Cory Cast, I sat down with the incredible Rob O'Connor, the brain behind Elite Gaming in Syracuse. Seriously, this place is insane! He's built this massive esports complex with rows and rows of top-tier gaming computers, a legit esports arena, and he's even created the FIRST esports teams in our local school districts.
I was blown away hearing his story. We talked about how he actually scaled this whole business. Like, how do you even do that? And then he told me about pitching esports programs to the schools. Can you imagine? Trying to convince them that playing video games could lead to scholarships?
And guess what? It's working! These kids are actually getting HUGE gaming scholarships. I mean, that was my dream as a kid! I love gaming and how the competitive esports have evolved over time, so this conversation was mind-blowing. We dove into the future of esports in schools, the impact of education technology, and how Rob is changing the game for young gamers.
If you're into entrepreneurship, love hearing about people making their dreams a reality, or just want to learn more about the booming world of esports, you HAVE to listen to this episode. Seriously, Rob's story is super inspiring, and it's proof that sometimes, playing video games can change your life!
