Check out Jon's daily Substack at https://gamestx.substack.com/ In BCGW #145, Jon Jordan talks to Superlayer's Kevin Chou about his career in gaming (Kabam, Gen.G, Rally, Forte) and new launch Trophy, a games ID and discovery platform in which players can earn 98% of their ad revenue by sharing data with advertisers.

Video games often represent the frontier of any new technology. Many of the most popular applications in the initial iPhone app store were games. Today's virtual reality devices are dominated by video games. Artificial intelligence seems poised to upend the video game business and entertainment more broadly.On the third episode of our six-part Cerebral Valley podcast series, Max Child, James Wilsterman, and I game out how artificial intelligence could reshape the media we consume. It helps that Max and James are the co-founders of Volley, which builds AI-enabled games. They develop many of the most popular voice games on the Amazon Alexa and smart TV platforms like Roku. Max and James have been deep in the trenches of conversational-style gaming and have spent a lot of time thinking about how humans interact with ever smarter computers.In the second half of the episode, I talk with Menlo Ventures partner Amy Wu, who focuses on gaming and consumer investments, and Keith Kawahata, a former executive at Wargaming, AppLovin, and Kabam, who now has a stealth artificial intelligence gaming startup. Wu helps to articulate a three-part thesis on how artificial intelligence might change the gaming business. (1) artificial intelligence will help with the creation of the game art and graphics, (2) AI can create more sophisticated non-player characters, and (3) AI can help write the code of the game itself.One of the things that I was struck by from the conversation is that games may have a big leg up in implementing artificial intelligence over movies — because people interact so much more with a gaming, giving it tons of data to react to. While TikToks can learn what small populations of people like and what an individual likes over a long time, a game could learn a lot about a user in a single play session.Of course, there are real hurdles left standing. Most notably, text-to-image generation so far is mostly two-dimensional. Despite everything that's happened, image generation models aren't just whipping out 3-D levels that are ready to play. And it could be a while until non-player characters are as smart as humans. But imagine playing a game of Grand Theft Auto or Red Dead Redemption and the characters roaming around the game are self-aware agents with their own thoughts and drives. Give it a listenP.S. I'm on my honeymoon right now in Japan. I was working frantically to record these episodes before I left. My chief of staff Riley Konsella is sending the episodes out for me while I'm gone. If you need anything while I'm away, you should email Riley.Thanks in advance for being understanding that this newsletter is slowing down for my honeymoon. I'm going to dedicate myself to relaxing over the next two weeks so that I come back hungrier than ever. Get full access to Newcomer at www.newcomer.co/subscribe

Today we learn how these two phenomenal games people founded funds, exited companies, and ascended to partner as well as a definitional layout of the structure of the investing world.

In today's episode, I chat with Jonathan Shroyer, a San Mateo, CA-based Chief Customer Experience Innovation Officer, at Arise Virtual Solutions Inc., a disruptive technology platform connecting the world's biggest brands with a previously untapped network of small business owners and their agents. Prior to this, he held roles with Microsoft and Kabam.Jonathan's mantra as a leader is to dream big and go forth to achieve what others say is not possible. The future is built by those that say how can it be done and adapt Nelson Mandela's ‘Win or Learn' philosophy. The results speak for themselves, as Jonathan has been recognized by the Wall Street Journal with a Lifetime Achievement Award, by Forbes and Fortune USA as one of the Top CX Professionals of 2022Given the depth and breadth of his experiences, it was rather predictable that we discussed the future of work. And I was particularly interested in Jonathan's take given the diversity of organizations he's supported. We also tackled customer experience, and more broadly, its intersection with employee experience. I've been saying for years now that a merger between Marketing and HR is in the not-too-distant future. The melding of inside and outside voices necessary to ensure organizations not only talk the talk, but walk the walk. It was such a pleasure connecting with Jonathan. And I hope you enjoy it. Jonathan ShroyerJonathan's mantra as a leader is to dream big and go forth to achieve what others say is not possible...

As former vice president of corporate communications for Netflix, our guest Steve Swasey had a front-row seat to Netflix's near-disastrous decision in 2011 to split its video streaming and DVD services. The backlash was swift and threatened to sink what, to that point, had been a highly successful company. In this episode, we talk about the missteps and miscalculations that led to that decision, the subsequent reversal of that decision, and, ultimately, the measures Netflix took to get back on track. Those measures largely reflect a set of principles Steve believes help businesses succeed over time. He calls it HIT (Humility, Integrity, and Trust) and has seen it work across multiple companies and industries. We also talk about the decades he's spent counseling senior executives on ways to better connect with their employees, customers, investors, and the marketplace, as well as how to weather professional crises. Does he believe there are CEOs willing to follow the three principles he espouses in his HIT approach? The simple answer is yes. For the longer answer, we delve into what happens when they commit to that course of action and what happens when they don't.GUEST: Steve Swasey, career communicator (Netflix, Kabam, Oracle), writer, and video producerGUEST BIO:Steve Swasey is a longtime communications specialist who has helped companies large and small shape and share their corporate narrative. He is a senior communications adviser with the media company Red Ventures and is a mentor for Road to Hire, a program that connects underrepresented youths to high-earning careers through paid technical training and college access. From 2005 to 2012, he helmed corporate communications at Netflix, and provided guidance and communications expertise during the company's challenging transition to streaming services. He has worked with the mobile game developer Kabam, and earlier in his career held roles at Oracle's PeopleSoft, Tri-Valley Growers, E&J Gallo Winery, and PR agency Ketchum.LINKS:No Rules Rules, by Netflix Chairman/CEO Reed Hastings and co-author Erin MeyerSilicon Valley's Culture Clash, by Jonathan Knee, The New York TimesFollow us on Twitter @speakgoodpodCheck out our blogGot an episode idea?

Kevin Chou, who could definitely be retired, is definitely not. He's on a mission to wrest power away from the handful of companies that seemingly own the Internet. Chou is the founder of Kabam, a video game company behind dozens of popular mobile games. A gamer turned gaming mogul, Chou tells Art of Power host Aarti Shahani why he was initially reluctant to follow his childhood passion. He dissects how a screenshot of Elon Musk sold for $25,000 (he had a hand in that). By the end of our chat, your brain may hurt a bit, but you will understand Internet economics and human nature like never before.
