Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback re: our new LSS podcast, INFLOW. Dr Jeff and I have been involved in all facets of LSS for over 30 years and we’ve been lucky to work with some of the folks who were involved in its beginnings. INFLOW is a fun way to document their contributions and share their stories. We continue with John Linn and our focus on the history of LSS. Here’s a preview of episode 2 (already available at inflowlsspodcast.com)… Enjoy!

Just wrapped up a fun and refreshing chat with Eric Fulwiler on the Scratch: CMO Interviews podcast—talking all things esports, brand evolution, and why gaming is the future. Here’s the deal: If your brand isn’t thinking about gaming, you’re missing the next generation of culture, entertainment, and commerce. With 3.2 billion gamers worldwide, this isn’t a niche—it’s the mainstream. So how do brands get it right? ?? Ditch the old marketing playbook. Moving from sports brands to esports taught me this: what worked before won’t work now. Gaming is a different beast—it’s interactive, immersive, and built on community. ?? Empower your teams to innovate. At ESL FACEIT Group - EFG, we trust our people to move fast and experiment. In gaming, waiting for a perfect plan means you’ve already lost. ?? Engage, don’t interrupt. Gamers don’t want ads—they want experiences. Co-create, collaborate, and add real value to the community. Brands that show up authentically win. I added the full episode link in the comments if you want to hear the full conversation. #Esports #Marketing #GamingCulture #BrandStrategy #ScratchCMO #EFG
