Summary

I recently returned from the Podcast Movement Conference in Fort Worth, Texas. While I was there I had the opportunity to interview Danny Peña the day before he was inducted into the Podcasters Hall of Fame.

For the last ten years, Danny has built Gamertag Radio into a major voice of influence in the video game industry. And, he's built a business out of a passion.

Listen to the interview to hear:

How to build a business from a passion
How video games can tremendously
The impact of video games on his own life
Why Joshua is wrong about video games! :)

Enjoy,

Joshua
