Episode 220: Bryan Wattier + MegaWatt Entertainment

On the podcast this week we chat with local entrepreneur Bryan Wattier, owner of MegaWatt Entertainment. Bryan is a native of South Dakota who moved to the Rochester area in the late 1990s to work at Mayo Clinic. Now, he balances his job at a telehealth respiratory startup with his own business, amongst many other things, which we dive into on today’s podcast. In 2018, Bryan launched MegaWatt Entertainment in the community to bring people together through gaming. This mobile business is a luxury video gaming experience, run out of a thirty foot long trailer, that brings the party to you. We have a great conversation to share with you today as we chat about how the idea for MegaWatt Entertainment developed, how Bryan’s past experiences contribute to what he’s doing today, how a cancer diagnosis prompted him to launch his business and live life with no regrets, and much more.
