Knocking Toxicity Out of Gaming - with Dana Sydorenko

Are online games for losers only? Is it where sociopaths go to hide from real world? You can think what you want of gaming but it is here to stay. I know brilliant and successful entrepreneurs and leaders (including some of my clients) who are gamers in their free time. And today's guest of mine is a fantastic example of a gamer who is successful and valuable in the real world. Dana Sydorenko, Co-founder and CEO of a social platform for gamers, GameTree, believes that toxicity issues in gaming are not because of the nature of the games, nor is it due to the audience it attracts. Instead, it is a highlight of the issues our society has overall. By making the gaming world feel safer and more inclusive, GameTree can teach individuals, businesses, and our society as a whole how we can tackle these issues.
