    There are times that I wish I could see into the future, and just know wether or not I was going to be successful doing what I am passionate about. And the closest I can ever get to that meeting others who have been pursuing their passions professionally longer than I have and picking their brain for a little while. This is one of the reasons I get so much out of doing the BusinessRPG Podcast, I have an opportunity to see what it looks like for someone else to have kept with something they love to the point of being successful at it as a business. And I get to spend the time set aside for these interviews to ask my questions but I also get to let them influence me for just a little while. That is part of what makes the audience so specific, is that we (nerds) dont always get to be taken seriously as business owners, or industry experts. But today's guest is a great example of what can happen when you stick with what it is you want to really be when you grow up.This week you will be meeting Keiko. She is a Voice Actor, Director, Writer, Caster, Coach, and wears several other hats besides. She is the Owner of MLA Entertainment and runs a YouTube channel that she started along side her business in 2010. She is the creator of the Project Infinity web series, and is the host of the podcast Keiko's Diary where she gets to talk with and interview other creatives and voice actors.In this episode you will hear her talk about the Voice Acting industry, the different hats she has had to wear as a result of all the projects she has brought to life, and you are going to hear her talk about how pursuing her passions has had a net benefit in her professional career.You can find out more about MLA Entertainment by visiting: https://mla-entertainment.tumblr.com/worksYoutube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/MoxieLiveAction/aboutFollow Keiko on Twitter: @MLA_EntBusiness RPG is a business podcast for nerds who are determined to turn their passion into a profession.

    One of my favorite industries in Nerd Culture is D&D. And I use the word “industry” intentionally. Its a very big cultural phenomenon that I think has a lot more potential then what has been explored so far, even in the face of Covid and the thousands who have been introduced to it during the course of the past 2 years. I dont view it as just a medium of entertainment but I see it as an avenue where a business can thrive and creativity is rewarded beyond any other field or niche that I know of.So, it is no wonder that I get excited whenever I have an opportunity to talk to today's guest who not only sees the potential this industry offers, she actually is doing something about it beyond what I see most people do.Today we are going to hear back from Joanna from D&D research Wizards! She has been on the show a couple of times before and I will have links to both of those episodes in the show notes below, but I was able to invite her on (with very short notice by the way) and ask her to talk about how the research has been going and get her perspective on the field. Follow them on instagram @Research.DnD, and check out their website here.
