He left his “vanilla” lifestyle on a little island in the UK and moved to the city where he worked for 15 years..</p> <p>Tom is the founder of Stakester, which he started with almost no money, no coding experience and having never worked in gaming or even owning a PlayStation. Stakester is an entertainment platform that gives gamers a platform to add monetary pride to the online gaming experience. Through proprietary technology, Stakester acts as the third partner in gaming challenges to ensure payouts are handled correctly.</p> <p>Less than three years later it’s the fastest growing competition platform on the planet, having raised over 5 million bucks. The company is worth over $70 million today.</p> <p>Tom and Ian discuss the distinction between success and happiness, noting that happiness is fleeting yet it isn’t wise to chase a perception of success only to be unhappy.
