On this episode of the Playbook, I have Matt Bailey, the founder and CEO of Game On,

and the two of us are going to talk about not being the smartest person in the room.

Join me for all this and more on the Playbook.

This is Entrepreneurs the Playbook. For each week, I bring you some of the greatest athletes,

celebrities, and entrepreneurs to talk about their personal and professional playbook to success,

and what made them champions on the field and in the boardroom.

I'm your host, David Meltzer. I'm here at Blue Wire Studios at the Wind Hotel in Las Vegas.

And I have an old friend and this is one of my favorite things to do on the Playbook

to see and witness success. You know, it takes time to be an overnight success.

Matt Bailey, founder and CEO of Game On, he is here and the game is on here on the Playbook.

How are you doing, Matt? I'm excellent. Thanks for having me dive. This is a beautiful

studio and I'm glad to share it with you. It's good to be back in person.

Yeah, it's great to see you back in person. I really wanted to have you on because I think

you have the most to give to my audience because you are the epitome, the stereotype of the transition

in the growth and the acceleration persistent, persistent pursuit of your potential.

You and I met when you first started Game On and it was just almost an imaginary idea.

A referral of a friend of mine who thought the world of you and I told the people around me the

first time I heard about Game On. I said, this is going to be a success. And I'm like, why do you

think so? I said, Matt Bailey. And I bet on the jockey, not the horse. And there's been a lot of

evolution in your business. You've been able to raise over $5 million. You're having great

successes with teams, leagues, organizations. You know, what was it that kept you going?

Because I know it wasn't always easy. You still isn't easy, but it wasn't always easy
