Welcome to the All in with Esports podcast created for and by the MAP Esports Network with host Lewis Johnson. We talk about all things Esports. In this episode, we’re going to dive right in and learn about MAP Esports and Esports-Futuri. We’ll talk about Esports and how it came to be, where it is currently, and where the trends are headed. I will have analyst Kyle Ary on to discuss what Esports is and why he thinks people stay with games and gaming from childhood to adulthood. We will also hear from Jacob R. Miles CEO, and Chairman of MAP Esports Network Inc., about his journey to the world of Esports and his vision for Esports-Futuri. We also touch on initiatives within the platform to get at-risk kids involved with Esports on a different level, which is a core focus for Esports-Futuri. “If it’s about Esports... then it matters to us.” For more information on all of our shows, visit: https://esportsfpn.com/
