Joining us today to talk about education, esports, and gaming is Nick Turner, Consultant and Lecturer of Esports at Queen Mary's College in Basingstoke, UK.

In this episode, co-hosted by Brandon Brunhammer, our conversation revolves around the benefits of adding esports to formal education curriculums, staying grounded, and keeping things real as members of the esports and gaming industry and how to base the industry's growth on connection.

We also talk about Nick's journey in the industry, what motivates him to keep creating and working tirelessly for the industry's growth, and the exact moment when Nick spotted the gap between esports and education and decided to fill it.
