In this episode, Susan interviews David Perry, a 30-year veteran
of the gaming industry. He started by making games just for fun –
he had no idea there was any money to be made. His first game,
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, went on to be number one in the
charts.
He continued his path doing things “just for fun” and was also the
creator of the popular games like the Matrix, Terminator and cult
classic, Earthworm Jim.
He started asking himself, if movies and music could be streamed,
why not video games? From that idea, he created Gaikai. David
went on to sell Gaikai to Sony PlayStation for $380 million and
that company has been instrumental in creating the livestream
foundation for video gaming in the cloud.
David is now the CEO of Carro, a new e-commerce partnership network
used by over 30K Shopify brands with over 320M visitors a month.
Carro (GetCarro.com) helps brands with their e-commerce and
sales by partnering with other brands in the network.
David credits his success to having fun doing what he loves. You
will ultimately find opportunity where you least expect it, and
innovation through trying to build on that opportunity until you
cannot beat it.
