From all the business models available, something we don’t see very often is one created from a community perspective. That is what ESPAT TV is about, to allow the talent to become the voice. 

Dante Simpson, CEO and Co-Founder of ESPAT TV, believes that as gaming and esports changed the way we consume content, it is time to push the boundaries and change the style stories are told in the gaming and esports community.

In this episode, Dante shares his experience in the Gucci Group that helped him understand the concept of building a brand and how those teachings helped him develop his own company. He brilliantly explained how to build bridges between consumers and brands and how he’d apply that principle to any industry. We also talked about the future of gaming and esports content creation and what we can expect in the following months from ESPAT TV.
