Justin Waldron - The Future of Social Gaming - [Founder’s Field Guide, EP. 50]

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My guest today is</span> <a href="https://twitter.com/jtwald"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Justin Waldron</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, co-founder and President of Playco. Justin is a pioneer of the social gaming industry after he co-founded Zynga at age 19, and he has continued to build games ever since. In our conversation, we cover how Justin sees the future of gaming as social platforms evolve, how gaming may be the next tool for content creation, and how Playco has approached aligning incentives for game creators and players. As talk of the metaverse becomes more mainstream, it’s fascinating to hear directly from those around it. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Justin Waldron.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For the full show notes, transcript, and links to mentioned content, check out the episode page</span> <a href= "https://www.joincolossus.com/episodes/1361386/waldron-the-future-of-social-gaming"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">here</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>-----</strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>This episode is brought to you by</strong> <a href= "https://www.klaviyo.com/founders"><strong>Klaviyo</strong></a><strong>.
