Sometimes life doesn’t always happen as we think it’s going to, but it’s not those disappointing moments that actually define us. It’s what we do because of those moments that truly construct the outcome of our lives.

In this episode of the Esports Futuri E-Zine Podcast, Chauntel Busche welcomes Esports Futuri Podcast Network host, John Davidson.
